Chapter 933
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Blood drained from Yvonneâs face. âWhat do you mean?â
âI literally meant what I said,â Hannah continued plainly. âAt first I thought there was nothing worth
explaining since I didnât intend to compete with you anyway. But if you think I stayed silent because I
was afraid, then youâre wrong.â
Glancing around at everyone, she added calmly, âRegarding what all of you saw just now, I wasnât
going to bother defending myself. But now that even Scarlett is speaking up on my behalf, I wonât keep
quiet anymore. Besides, the more I remain silent, the more somebody here tries to take advantage.
Thatâs utterly shameless.â
âHannah Anne!â Yvonne screamed suddenly, her voice somewhat shaky as she glared at Hannah with
a trace of horror on her face. âYouâre lying!â
Hannah wasnât in the least bit intimidated. She turned towards Louis with an apologetic look. âIâm sorry,
Uncle Louis. I failed to take good care of the black card you gave me earlier. Ms. Wilde demanded that
I hand it over to her since sheâs now a part of the Stovall family, and so I did. As long as itâs a woman
whom John loves, I have no qualms. However, at this point, it seems that Ms. Wilde isnât suited for the
title of âMrs. Stovallâ after all.â
At that, Louis pursed his lips and shifted his gaze onto Yvonne.
âIf Ms. Wilde still insists that Iâm responsible for causing her to fall into the poolâ¦â Hannah glanced at
Yvonne coldly. âThen, all I can say is, perhaps I shouldnât have evaded her when she tried to attack me
just now.â
Just then, a childâs cry rang from outside. Hannah looked at John and continued, âI have no objections
to you being together with someone else, John. But as someone who understands you to some extent,
heed my adviceâbe careful with who you choose to bring into the Stovall family.â
âGoodbye, everyone,â Hannah said as she bowed, then turned and left towards the door.
John was silent, though his face paled with a painful expression.
Yvonne began sobbing as she tugged on his arm. âIt wasnât like that, Johnny!â she pleaded with
innocent eyes. âI didnât do any of those things. Theyâre lying!â
Despair clouded Johnâs face as he stared at Hannahâs disappearing back, completely ignoring Yvonne
who clung desperately onto him. I suddenly realizedâperhaps from the very beginning, John had
never cared about what happened to Yvonne and whether Hannah really did anything. His only
concern was Hannahâs attitude towards himself. Heâd been putting up a facade all along in hopes of
gaining her attention and seeing if sheâd show any signs of jealousy at how he treated Yvonne.
Unfortunately for him, Hannah was completely indifferent. She no longer cared.
Yvonne was still persistently keeping up with her acting. I couldnât help but feel nauseated at that
womanâs despicable pretense, thus I held out the recording in front of her. âJust give up already.
Whatever happened just now were all recorded here, and Iâve already sent it to everyone. Iâm afraid
you wonât be able to set foot in the Stovall residence from now on. Good luck!â
The last trace of color disappeared from her cheeks. No longer sobbing nor pleading, she stared at the
screen in silence as her face twisted into a conflicted grimace.
Was she thinking about how to make a quiet escape from all of this? I had no idea. With how sheâs
cornered at this moment, there was no way she could pull another dirty trick.
That being said, there was no telling how shameless a person could be.
Yvonne looked up at me with teary, pitiful eyes. âWhy are you doing this to me, Scarlett? Everything I
did was out of love for John. Whatâs wrong with that? I donât get itâ¦â She then eyed John sideways for
a second, as if making sure heâs watching her. âYou guys went on and on about doing things for his
sake, but where was everyone when he needed somebody by his side? And on top of deserting him,
now youâre trying to get rid of me. Donât you think you people have gone overboard?â
Gosh, whatâs with that incessant damsel-in-distress act? I frowned, not knowing what else to say. Itâd
only be a waste of time to continue arguing. This woman would surely keep up her act and try to prove
herself blameless for as long as she could, even if her true colors were already becoming evident.
I snatched my phone back and threw her a sarcastic smile. âWell then, feel free to carry on with your
disgusting acts. I wish you all the best in defending your noble love!â
After bidding Uncle Louis a quick farewell, I dragged Ashton out of the house.
I was no longer in the mood to talk as we headed home, though I could tell Ashton was glancing at me
occasionally as he drove.
âWell, Hannahâs gotten over it. Youâve said and done everything you could, too,â he spoke after a long
silence. âLetâs just leave it to John now. However things may turn out, heâs the only one responsible for
his own decisions.â
I sighed and nodded. Of course I knew that. âI know, itâs just⦠It still pisses me off. Iâve always thought
that someone like Rebecca Larson was atrocious enough, but it turns out Yvonneâs on a whole different
level. Itâs almost unbelievable.â
