Chapter 1760
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Chapter 1760 You Have Changed
âNo!â John stared at me disappointedly. âWhy do you think Iâm here today? You gave me this right in the
past. No matter how willful you used to be in the past, you knew that you could always rely on me and
trust me. Back then, I was the only legatee in your will. But now, you donât even care about your brother
and sister-in-law anymore. Letty, youâve changed.â
Here, he paused for a while and hammered his chest. âIâm very disappointed in you.â
Johnâs acting was so convincing that I quickly immersed myself in the mood. Out of guilt, tears sprang
to my eyes. Just as the tears were about to trickle down my face, I covered my mouth and lowered my
face, acting as if I was apologetic and could not face him anymore.
Anyhow, I was not the main protagonist. After I briefly attracted the attention of everyone in the room,
Ashton ignored everything that I had done for him and went back to the topic. âIf thatâs the case, then
thereâs nothing else to discuss. Do you have to fight against me?â
Spreading his arms, John stated, âYouâre the one who wants to fight against me. If youâre willing to
divorce Letty and leave everything behind, all the problems will be resolved.â
âI donât mind leaving everything behind, but you have to know that all the important data of the
company is in my brain, and I know the easiest way to destroy it. In the end, what you get is just an
empty shell. Not only that, but you might also bring down Stovall Corporation along with it. Are you sure
you can afford such consequences?â questioned Ashton solemnly.
Given Ashtonâs abilities, all of us knew that it was only a matter of time for him to turn those into reality.
The atmosphere turned tense after he finished talking.
âWill you really do that? You were the one who built Fuller Corporation from scratch. Destroying it is
equivalent to killing your efforts. You wonât do that.â John smiled and was not threatened by what
Ashton said. Out of the blue, he thought of something and continued, âWorse comes to worst, weâll just
go down together. If youâre willing to risk Fuller Corporation, I donât mind sacrificing Stovall Corporation
as well. You can never escape from me.â
With that said, he held Emmaâs hand and kissed the back of her hand. Looking at her crystal clear
eyes, he said softly, âDonât worry. As long as Fuller Corporation exists, nothing will happen to your
family.â
It was rare that Emma did not express her dismay as she smiled shyly. Seeing that, John was
lovestruck and almost forgot that he was still acting. Fortunately, she gave him a side glance in time,
and he immediately pulled himself together.
The negotiation had again reached stalemate.
Ashtonâs face was frighteningly grim as John was flirting with Emma in front of him. On one side was a
lonely man who could not even show his love for the woman he loved. On the other side was a sweet
couple who was in love with each other. After comparing their situation, I bet Ashton was seething with
anger.
At that moment, Nathaniel, who had been silent for the whole time, put down the spoon in his hand,
and his action attracted everyoneâs attention.
Subsequently, he wiped his mouth calmly. His movements were elegant, and just when everyone felt
that he was not in the situation, he started slowly, âItâs futile to argue any further. We should ask the
ownerâs opinion.â
Once again, it was silent in the private room. Everyone was deep in thoughts, and no one seemed to
understand what he meant.
Placing the napkin on the table, Nathaniel looked in my direction and curled the corners of his lips. âIf
you donât want to see the people close to you speak ill of each other, why donât you make another will
and decide the final owner of the shares? As a professional lawyer, it should be a piece of cake for you,
right?â
Hearing that, I did not dare to utter a word. I was worried that it would expose my anxiety. After all, that
was how the will that authorized the shares to John had come about.
As expected of the opponent that even Ashton is afraid of. Fortunately, Iâm a step ahead of him.
Otherwise, I wonât have the chance to confront him today.
