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

Chapter 207

“I’m still hungry!” Rebecca replied stubbornly.

“Why don’t you buy it yourself?” Jared responded in a frank and unemotional manner.

Upon hearing that, Rebecca and Joe became visibly upset. Rebecca pouted as she argued, “What’s

the matter with you? She’s just a mere employee. Why can’t I order her to buy something for me?”

“Mere employee? What about you?” Jared continued relentlessly, “You have forgotten about your past,

haven’t you?”

Rebecca had been a helpless orphan before being adopted by Cameron and Zachary.

Upon hearing those words, Rebecca felt humiliated and could not hold back her anger. “Screw you! Are

you seriously getting mad at me because of her?”

Jared sneered, “You expect others to be submissive and tolerate you just because you are now part of

the Moore family, don’t you?”

“Jared, shut up!” Joe interrupted and glanced at Kristina in annoyance. “What a scheming little mind

you have! Why are you deliberately creating a scene and upsetting everyone over such a simple

request?”

Shaking her head vigorously, Kristina was aggrieved at his allegation. “Mr. Quinn, that’s not true! I

didn’t mean it!”

Jared scoffed at the statement, “Why are you blaming her? Is there a need to make her life so difficult?

Why don’t you buy it for Rebecca if you care for her so much?”

His words aggravated the situation and infuriated Joe. “Jared, what do you mean? Did Rebecca offend

you? Are you looking for trouble?”

The tit for tat continued and made the atmosphere tense.

Bam! Ashton slammed his glass on the table and looked at them coldly. “Did you guys invite me here to

watch you quarrel with each other?”

Joe immediately pointed at Kristina and directed all blame at her. “Ashton, it’s all because of her!” He

screeched while looking utterly disgusted at her.

I had gotten used to Joe’s habit of insulting others who annoyed him.

Though Kristina and I did not get along well, I sympathized with her at that moment.

Ashton frowned and glanced at Kristina. Then he asked impassively, “Are you reluctant to buy?”

She immediately shook her head and denied, “No, it’s not like that!”

Ashton raised his eyebrows and ordered, “Then go buy it now!”

Hearing Ashton’s order, Kristina shot a glance at Jared. However, seeing that even he chose to remain

silent, she reluctantly stood up and left.

“What are you? In love with her?” Seeing that Kristina had left, Ashton looked at Jared and asked

blatantly.

“No!” Jared immediately denied the accusation and took a sip of wine, refusing to say anything else.

“Then don’t let her ruin your relationship with Joe!” Ashton chided softly. He then shifted his gaze to

Joe, “And you, play nice next time!”

Joe nodded and raised his glass towards Jared. “Jared, I’m sorry for losing my cool just now!”

Without saying a word, Jared toasted to him and emptied the glass. That was considered as a

reconciliation.

The relationship between men was not complicated, and they let bygones be bygones.

The three of them continued to chat, and it seemed like they have chosen to forget about the ruckus

relating to Kristina.

Rebecca pursed her lips and was obviously unhappy. She stayed in the room for only a while longer

before she stood up and left.

Having sat for a prolonged period of time, I was starting to feel uncomfortable, so I approached Ashton

and whispered in his ear, “I need to get some air!”

He nodded and stood up. “I’ll go with you!”

However, I shook my head and refused. “It’s all right. I’ll go by myself.”

I then gently pushed him down to his seat and smiled before I left.

With all kinds of people coming to Paramount Club, I dared not travel too far and chose to stroll along

the corridor.

Rebecca saw me wandering along the corridor when she came out of the bathroom. So she

approached me and sarcastically remarked, “It looks like your baby is due soon! But it’s hard to say if it

will be safely delivered, nor will it survive!”

I frowned and immediately leaned against the wall to steady myself. After ensuring my own safety, I

looked at her and replied, “Ms. Larson, I thought you would be gracious and become more gentle after

joining the Moore family. But it seems like you are getting worse instead. No wonder Ashton is getting

more tired of you!”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Rebecca was speechless with rage for a moment. She then glared at me. “Scarlett Stovall! Who do you

think you are? Do you really think you can make Ashton stay by your side by having his baby? That’s

impossible! Killing a person, not to mention a baby, is a simple task for the Moore family. You won’t

have him! I won’t let you give birth to the baby!”

Going through all means to destroy one’s enemy was the darkest aspect of human nature.

While I held on to my belly, I gave her a cold-eyed stare and sneered, “There is always rule of law, no

matter how formidable the Moore family is. They won’t simply hurt an innocent because of you. Look at

yourself, all anxious and panicked. There must be tons of people in the Moore family who look down on

you and refuse to accept you into their family!”

If Rebecca led a comfortable life in the Moore family, she would not engage in such attention-seeking

behavior.

Seeing as she was losing to me in argument, Rebecca stomped her feet and threatened me, “Just you

wait!”
