When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1846
Chapter 1846 Traitor
My innocence gave me the courage to act defiantly. I questioned, “What are you looking at me for? Are
you suspecting me?”
“Are my suspicions misced?” Gritting his teeth, the subordinate ignored Nathaniel’s presence.
Compared to the man in a suit, this man, who had scars all over his face, was a lot more vicious and
intimidating.
Someone like him would never obey unconditionally. The moment he lost his temper, no one would be
able to stop him.
Without sufficient confidence to challenge him, I deflected the matter to Nathaniel instead. “Do you feel
the same way too?”
Nathaniel put his cigar back into his mouth and inhaled. After puffing out a cloud of smoke, he gradually
turned around. In the midst of it, he narrowed his eyes at me. “It doesn’t matter what I think. I want to
hear your answer instead.”
“No, I didn’t,” I answered readily.
“Fine, I believe you.” Nathaniel looked at me calmly, as if he already expected it.
Ever since I threw the ring away, he seemed to have changed a lot. Putting that aside, his answer had
driven a wedge between his subordinates and him.
“Mr. Hall, that woman is obviously”
Nathaniel didn’t give him the opportunity to finish. “Enough, out you go. Going forward, don’te into
the house. Whatever you have to say, we can talk in the yard.”
“But-”
Just when he wanted to remonstrate further, he bit his tongue when Nathaniel shot him a piercing
nce.
“Aren’t you the least bit suspicious?” I teased.
“Do you think I should?” Nathaniel threw the question back at me.
Not seeing iting, I was stumped.
Nathaniel took another puff of his cigar and relished in the intoxication of nicotine. Then, he remarked
in nonchnce, “Scarlett, I’m no longer the same person as before. From now on, I’ll trust you
unconditionally.”
What does he mean? Is the cold-blooded devil suddenly repenting? What can he change? Can all the
innocents he killede back alive? No, they can’t.
“But,” Nathaniel suddenly added, “Everything that happened today will be on Ashton. Soon, all this will
come to an end.”
As expected, a leopard never changes its spots.
After letting out a mockingugh, I sneered, “You might as well hold me responsible for it. After all, if
anything happens to Ashton, I wouldn’t want to live anymore. Hence, there’s no need for you to do this
in a roundabout way.”Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
“You’re wrong.” Nathaniel didn’t bother looking at me. Instead, he stared nkly into space and
commented, “I won’t kill him. But, I have my ways to make him suffer a fate worse than death.”
“How dare you!” I sprang to my feet in anger.
Unfazed, Nathaniel stubbed his cigar out on the ashtray. “Only then it’s fair.”
“Fair? All this while, you were the one trying to harm us by attacking Ashton first. What did he ever do
to you?”
Nathaniel finally turned to look at me and grimly replied, “You did.”
“Nonsense, since when-” I choked on my words when it dawned upon me what he meant.
Loving someone who didn’t love you back was indeed a fate worse than death.
After staring at each other in silence, I turned around and left. He didn’t follow me this time.
After all, there was nothing more to say, as everything was going ording to n.
When forced into a corner, I had no choice but to disregard my principles in an effort to protect my
friends and family.
Against someone despicable, there was no point in maintaining them anyway.
The next day, I woke up early and prepared to go out and get some air.
The moment I came downstairs, I saw two uninvited guests in the form of Quince and Lucas.
Both of them sat gloomily at the table with their guns in front of them. The moment they saw me, Lucas
stood up and pointed his gun at me. “B*tch, Tell us the truth! Have you been nning this all along?”
Previously, both of them were cordial to me due to my rtionship with Ashton. But now, one was
holding me at gunpoint while the other didn’t seem intent on intervening.
