When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1754
Chapter 1754 Supporting The Lyons
“Forget it. No one can stop him from leaving. This isn’t your fault, and I will pay you for the month as we
have agreed. You can go home now.”
After ending the call, I knitted my eyebrows and wondered what Joseph was up to.
Being warded in the hospital was a wonderful opportunity for him to recuperate and wean himself off
the drug addiction before it got too serious. By avoiding me like a gue, he made it look as though I
was the viin.

Anyway, I figured that they probably had ns of their own. What happened to the Lyons family had
served as a lesson to me. Nathaniel would never react in the way an ordinary person would. Therefore,
it wasn’t surprising that Ashton had to change his behavior in an effort to challenge him.
Since I was unable to guess what his n was, I had no choice but to trust him.
Over the next three days, the attack on the Lyons family by an anonymous financier had been widely
broadcasted across many financial news channels, causing an uproar within themunity. Finally,
John, as the representative of Stovall Corporation, had announced that they would invest in the
company of the Lyons family. His decision had stabilized thepany’s stock price and arrested the
losses of the Lyons family in time.
Just when everyone thought that the matter hade to a close, the financier, who had been beaten
back the day before, had resurfaced to attack the Lyons family’s newly listedpany. Consequently,
his actions had caused them significant losses again.
Meanwhile, I had been monitoring the situation closely. Looking at how the matter had escted, I was
worried that Nathaniel was mounting an all-attack to wipe out the Lyons family. Hence, I quickly gave
John a call.
To my surprise, John didn’t sound anxious when he answered, “What’s wrong, Letty?”
“Are you guys doing okay?” I was baffled. “I saw this expert on the newsmenting that the Lyons
family is being dragged through the mud by their powerful enemy.”
“You should take what those ‘experts’ say on TV with a pinch of salt. Other than doing research, all
they know is discuss matters from a theoretical perspective.” John poured scorn on them before
lowering his voice as he added, “Don’t worry, the matter has been resolved. The unscrupulous attacks
on the Lyons family stocks are nothing but schoolboy tactics. With thebined financial strength of
Stovall Corporation and the power of attorney you have assigned to me over Fuller Corporation, the
attacker is doomed to fail unless there is some form of political intervention or if it’s an attempt to
destabilize the nation.”
It was just as Ashton had described. Fuller Corporation was highly integrated into the nation’s economy
and wasn’t easily shaken. By buying a stake in the Lyons familypany, John had directly taken it
under his wing.
I sighed in relief, but I still couldn’t fully understand the situation. “Isn’t the stock market regted all
this while? By conducting such an attack, won’t they attract the regtor’s attention? Since you
imed that the Lyons family’spany is safe, why is the attacker doing something that’s detrimental
to themselves?”
John broke intoughter. “What do you mean by detrimental? Hasn’t Nathaniel already achieved his
goal?”
Puzzled, I furrowed my brows until the answer dawned upon me. “Are you saying that this is the same
as before? That Nathaniel is just trying to test me?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” John replied with certainty. “Remember, you have to remain calm. After so many
years, haven’t you learned not to panic?”
Having been exposed so straightforwardly, I felt so awkward that I didn’t know what to say.
Luckily, John didn’t notice my embarrassment as he continued, “Anyway, it doesn’t matter because I
was nning to call you. I have invited Ashton for negotiations at The Jade tonight. Are youing?”
“Negotiations? What for?” I asked.
“Of course it’s about the stockholdings. Looks like you have forgotten that you own almost as many
shares as Ashton does. After I took over, I’ve blocked many of his decisions. I figured Nathaniel must
have ordered him to do something about it; that’s why he has approached me to buy my shares.”
I pursed my lips. “Creating conflict isn’t a bad idea but will going against Ashton at every turn be
detrimental to his n?”
