In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 325

I noticed how calm she was. Slightly stunned, I returned, “So what do you want to discuss, Ms. Anderson?”

“Stop right here. I admit I was too reckless to kill your unborn child, but Rebecca had lost her child too. Karma got back to us. I’ve been busy dealing with the mess you’ve gotten me into. The Moore family is also making things difficult for me. That is my punishment. We’ll stop here and stay away from each other from now on. How does that sound?” she suggested calmly.

Her eyes narrowed as she waited for my reply.

I stared at her and pondered. What’s her weak spot? Rebecca and Zachary?

After a pause, I spoke slowly, “What if I refuse to stop? What do you plan to do, Ms. Anderson?”

She raised a brow and shot me a menacing look. “With my wealth and the Moore family’s influence, we can easily make you and Fuller Corporation disappear in K City.”

I nodded with a smirk. “Mm, you’re capable of doing that.”

She offered me a cordial grin and said, “So? If you stop now, we won’t have to be enemies.”

I nearly snickered out loud. Holding back my laughter, I stared at her. “Ms. Anderson, you’re experienced and magnanimous, seeing how you can forget things easily.”

After a pause, I continued, “But I can’t do that. I’m not as experienced as you. There’s no way I can laugh things off. The same nightmare plagued me over and over again about a baby crying in anguish and blood all over the ground.” I let out a bitter laugh. “Ms. Anderson, you have never heard a baby howling in despair, right? I have. I could even hear his pleas, asking me to save him.”

My laughter was mirthless. “Ms. Anderson, I couldn’t do anything as my child bled to his death. If you were in my shoes, can you move on? I don’t think so. This will be etched in my memory forever.”

Her face turned ashen as her lips pressed together tightly. After a long silence, she answered, “Well, since you’re not willing to settle our difference, let’s see who will end up being the winner.”

I tamped down my emotions and flashed a smile. “I look forward to that day.”

After I got off her car, I watched calmly as she drove away. Memories spilled forth, engulfing me as they spiraled rapidly out of control.

Indeed. I should attack her weak spot. There’s no need to spare her anyway.

I whipped out my phone and called John. He picked up swiftly.

“What’s wrong?” He sounded weary.

I paused briefly. “Are you sleeping?” I asked.
