When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1644


    I averted my eyes before remembering about the spying Audrey upstairs.


    That girl’s really brave, huh? A normal kid would start crying for their mother at the sight of a foreign


    ck man in the house. Not only did she not cry, but she’s even spying from behind the baluster.


    Carefully, I chanced a nce at where Audrey had been earlier, d to see that it was empty.


    She must have listened to me and gone back to my room.


    John had raised Audrey abroad all along, and she was the apple of his eye, so she had a little stubborn


    streak of her own. Fortunately, she was still an obedient child when she was with the family.


    “Okay, Stovall, Fuller. Let me tell you my n!” Lucas was vastly different from Quince. First of all, he


    was much taller and cruder. Furthermore, he was rather enthusiastic and immersed in his own world.


    “You’ll be the ones in charge of opening the clubs, starting from K City to the rest of the country. You


    can leave the security details to us. The headquarters of Skull will be based in K City. As for the deal


    with the Chanaean police, we’ll go into more detailster.”


    “Stop,” Ashton interrupted Lucas’ train of thought. Immediately, the room fell silent.

    Fortunately, it seemed like they had learned about Chanaea’s way of hosting guests before they came,


    so they were not angry about his interruption. Instead, Lucas beamed and gestured for him to speak as


    he patiently waited to hear him.


    “The club isn’t nning to take over the country nor do we have any ns to coborate with others,”


    Ashton said, dismissing Lucas’ entire n.


    However, Lucas thought Ashton was not done with his piece, for he continued to smile and wait for him


    to continue.


    Once he was done, Ashton pressed his lips together and fell silent. He did not have any thoughts of


    trying to soften the revtion for the other man at all.


    As seconds ticked away, the atmosphere turned tenser and tenser, and the smile on Lucas’ face faded


    away.


    “Mr. Fuller, what do you mean? Do you think that our organization isn’t fit to do business with your


    daughter?” Quince questioned.


    I knew it. I knew he was up to no good. I’m right all along! He’s waiting to stir things up all this time.


    Nevertheless, who was Ashton? Even when he was powerless in J City, he had already made his move


    against Cameron and Zachary. The word fear was never in his dictionary.


    Without any changes in his expression, he let his right leg cross his left and adjusted himself into a


    morefortable position. Only then, he nonchntly replied, “Kids have their own ways of doing


    things, and we’ve got to give them an opportunity to try things out. If you’d like to talk business with me,


    then you’re always wee. However, if you’re thinking ofying a finger on my daughter, then you


    should turn right once you’re out of the house and take a left turn at the sixth traffic light.”


    “What do you mean?” Quince asked.


    “That’s one of the jurisdictions of K City’s cops,” John said with a half-grin. Clearly, he was enjoying the


    show, and the look in his eyes would infuriate anyone it was directed to.


    Lucas and Quince took two seconds to figure out what he was talking about. Once they realized what


    cops were, Lucas mmed his hand on the armrest and jumped to his feet. “What do you mean,


    Fuller?”


    People like them hated the police the most. Of course, that excluded the ones who worked for them.


    All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the room turned tense. The few underlings behind Lucas had also


    sneakily put their hands into the pockets of their suits.


    Ashton still had a cold look when he raised his head to stare into the other’s man frenzied eyes. In a


    t tone, he said, “I meant what I said. There’s a saying in Chanaea that I’d like to enlighten you with—


    thieves are the only ones whoe uninvited.”


    To my surprise, Lucas shrugged and put on a hurt look. “Why do you say that? Your woman has told


    me that visiting foreign friends brings joy. I thought you’d be happy.”


    “My woman?”


    “His what woman?”


    Both Ashton and I spoke almost simultaneously. Then, we shared a look before quietly turning back to


    Lucas, waiting for his answer.


    “Larson, isn’t it?” Lucas hastily exined. He then snapped his fingers at one of his subordinates


    behind him, and one of them fished out a stack of photos to hand it to him.


    Lucas then threw the photos onto the table and said, “Look, isn’t this you?”


    I did not know why he was abruptly furious. Bewildered, I stepped forward to take the photos before


    sitting back on the couch to examine them with Ashton.
