    When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1647


    It was not that we did not want to work with them, but that thew did not allow us to work with them.


    No matter how powerful Skull was, they would not dare to go against thew of a country.


    For a moment, I wanted tomend myself for the abrupt improvement of my ability to shift the me


    onto others.


    I let myself be smug for a second as I reached out to grab Ashton’s hand on his knee. It was a gesture


    of gratitude for the skill he had been teaching me for years.


    Finally, I could say that I, too, had a Ph.D. in the me game.


    It was a fine line between calmness and hastiness when personal profit was involved.


    Skull was well established in M Country, so every move they made there was watched closely by M


    Country’s local authorities. Why they had tried to enter the Chanaean market without hesitation was


    because they realized that Chanaea did not know them well enough to be wary of them. That way, they


    would be able to get rich quickly.


    Therefore, Ashton’s talk about the legal matters had poured cold water on their idea. The money they


    had envisioned to be in their hands had grown wings and flown off, so neither Quince nor Lucas had a


    smile on their faces. Yet, they could not lose their tempers with us, so they had to suppress their anger


    until their faces turned bright red and the look in their eyes turned murderous.


    Most of the time, being on the winning side in a situation like that would not be any good news, for we


    did not know how powerful they were. We certainly do not want things to spiral out of control.


    The tension in the room was palpable, almost unbearable. It felt like a war between us was going to


    break out at any time.


    Right then, footsteps came from the outside. It was Summer and Jareding back with Joseph


    trailing behind them. He shot me an apologetic look for not having been able to stop them.


    “We can work together,” Summer said in a raised voice as she strode toward the center of the living


    room. After giving us a reassuring nce, she turned to Lucas and Quince. “Misters, we meet again.”


    It seemed like the two of them had already gone to look for Summer at the club.


    Lucas’ lips curled, and he lifted his head to look into her eyes. In a cold tone, he said, “It’s been a day,


    Ms. Summer. Have youe to a decision? Shall we do business together?”


    Aposed smile on Summer’s face, she answered, “I’ve heard everything you’ve said earlier. What


    Mom and Dad have said is what I think as well. Niche businesses like the ones you want will not work


    in broad daylight here. The club is under Fuller Corporation, so it has the same business goals as


    Fuller Corporation. Naturally, we’ll be doing legitimate business. There will be no exceptions to that.”


    Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Then, what did you mean by we can work together earlier?” Quince cut in.


    Summer turned around to look into his eyes, unafraid. “It’s simple. As long as the businesses you do


    are legal and meets Fuller Corporation’s industrial needs, then both the club and other businesses of


    Fuller Corporation will be more than happy to cooperate with you.”


    “You’re just messing with us!” Lucas bellowed as he leaped to his feet. “You know what kind of


    business we’re in!”


    “What are you trying to do?” John jumped off the couch and shoved Lucas in the chest.


    Caught off guard, Lucas took a few steps back before he found his bnce again. When he realized


    that John was the one who had pushed him, a look of disbelief appeared on his face. “Are you


    serious?”


    “Am I serious? I’m always serious with whoeverys a finger on my precious niece!” John then undid


    his jacket and stuffed his hands into his pants pocket. It had been a while since he looked as arrogant


    as that.


    The tension in the room was like a taut bowstring, both parties ready to strike.


    “You—”


    “Ha!”


    “Summer,” Ashton suddenly called out before Lucas could say anything else. “Come over and sit


    beside your mother.”


    Hearing that, I quickly motioned her toe to me. Summer was always an obedient girl, so she


    wasted no time before turning around.


    Just as she sat down, Ashton parted his lips.


    “My daughter has told you what the Fuller family’s stand. We’ve shown you our sincerity, but it’s up to


    you if you want to work with us.”


    “Sincerity?” Lucas sneered. “What kind of sincerity is this? You’re clearly asking us to leave!”


    Ashton ignored him and turned to Quince instead. “Mr. Quince, is this what you think as well?”


    “I don’t think you fully understand what kind of situation you’re in!” Livid, Lucas moved his hand toward


    his waist. From my angle, I could catch a glimpse of the gun there.
