In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall)

Chapter 320



Clearly, he never expected that I would reject him. With a scowl, he asked, "What if I tell you I can defeat Cameron entirely?"

I shrugged indifferently. "Well, Cameron had it coming. I didn't take action as I thought seeing her being tortured was far more interesting."

As I wasn't going to cave in, his scowl deepened. "Ms. Stovall, since you've made up your mind, why did you agree to meet me?"

I rested my chin on my hand and replied nonchalantly, "I want to know why you kidnapped me back then."

Surprised at the mention of the kidnapping incident, he paused before answering. "I thought you've asked me about it before? What else do you want to know?"

My eyes crinkled up in amusement. "Do you think I'll believe that? AC was part of the reason, but only a few people know about my pregnancy. Care to share where you found out about it? Also, remember the recording you shared with me? I'm curious as to who acted alongside Rebecca. Let's talk about it, Mr. Tuffin!"

It had happened six months ago, but ever since Stacey mentioned it to me, I felt a niggling feeling in my chest telling me something was amiss. Back then, when I struck a deal with Caleb, I didn't tell him the reason for my fake abortion. However, when Savini kidnapped me, he obviously knew why.

I already had a suspect, but I needed something more to confirm my suspicions.

Seeing my narrowed gaze, he let out a light chuckle. "Ms. Stovall, will you work with me after finding out the reason?"

I arched a brow. "I can consider that."

He took a sip of his tea calmly. After a pause, he uttered, "Ms. Stovall, do you know Dr. Crest well?"

"Jared Crest?" I returned, preparing myself for his answer.

He shrugged. "Well, I wasn't planning on kidnapping you at first as the risk was too high. Besides, AC's president could've talked to you about the bid instead of planning the kidnapping."

I nodded and beckoned for him to go on.

"Jared Crest came to us and offered to work with us. He actually wanted to partner up with Cameron. I've been working for Cameron for years, but he offered ten years of the Crest family's audit in return. That means I'll be in charge of part of Fuller Corporation's audit and work with the Crest family for ten years. Hence, I agreed to his plan."

It was within my expectation, so I continued calmly, "Why did Jared do that?"

Savini thought about it and shook his head. "I don't know. He only told me to not harm you. After the bidding, he carried out the rest of the plan. I wasn't really involved."

I pursed my lips after hearing his explanation. Why did Jared arrange for me to overhear that scene between Rebecca and Ashton? What was his purpose? To force me to leave Ashton? But what will he gain?

As everything was clear now, I gazed at him coolly. "Mr. Tufin, thank you for your explanation. But I need to consider working together with you. After all, I'm someone who holds grudges." The man furrowed his brows in displeasure and gazed at me sharply. "Ms. Stovall, what do you mean?"

I looked out of our private room and leaned back into the sofa. "You kidnapped me previously. Do you think I'll forget it and pretend as if nothing had happened?"

Throwing daggers at me, he demanded, "But you weren't injured!"

"Yes, I wasn't physically hurt. But you forgot about my mental health." After hearing that disgusting recording that Rebecca faked, I lost interest in having sex with Ashton. It was a great loss.

Savini parted his lips to say something when the door was pushed open. A team of police officers rushed in and arrested him. "Savini Tuffin, you're being arrested for illegal trade and kidnapping. Please come with us."

Realizing what was going on, Savini glared at me and heaved. "Scarlett, you set up a trap!"

My lips thinned. "This isn't part of my plan."

He continued glowering at me. "Scarlett, you'd better make sure I get the death sentence just like Felix. Otherwise, I'll take revenge after they release me."

After the police brought him away, I remained in my seat and glanced at the untouched food.

Slowly, I began eating the food elegantly. After all, it wasn't good to waste them.

"You're too calm. Didn't you hear what he said earlier?" John came in and looked at me in exasperation. "After he serves his sentence, he'll take revenge."
