In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 386

Glaring at Ashton, Hudson feigned a pitiful look. “Mr. Fuller, please, I beg you. You can do whatever you want with me. Just please don’t hurt my family.”

Ashton continued to remain silent. After a while, Joseph came back with a bag filled with pastries and a glass of fruit juice.

He got someone to bring a table over to me and placed the pastries and the fruit juice neatly on the table. “Mrs. Fuller, please help yourself!”

After that, Joseph immediately turned his gaze toward Ashton and reported, “I’ve already brought them here. They’re outside right now.”

Hudson thought that his family was brought here and got furious. He glanced at Ashton with his fiery eyes and uttered, “Ashton, you’re an abhorrent piece of sh*t. You said that you weren’t going to harm my family if I told you what I know. You mendacious scoundrel!”

Joseph ordered two big strong men to hold him down before replying, “Who told you that the people outside are your family?”

At that moment, the sound of high heels clattering could be heard approaching. The person who was walking in was none other than Sally herself.

It was a warm and cozy day in J City. Although it was only January, the temperature had already risen.

She was wearing a dress paired with shiny high heels, which made her seem classy and elegant.

That being said, her classy attire didn’t quite fit into the setting. It made her look out of place.

Following beside her were two men in black suits. She was probably forcefully brought to this place.

After taking a scan around the place, Sally’s face turned pale when she saw Ashton. “Ashton, why are you here?”

Ashton stretched his back and gazed at her with his eyebrows raised. “Why can’t I be here?”

Seeing how severely hurt Hudson was, Sally suddenly felt queasy and almost fell to the ground.

Ashton pinched his forehead while staring at Hudson. “Repeat what you’ve just said.”

Hudson’s facial expression relaxed after he realized it wasn’t his family who was being brought here by Joseph. Having calmed down, his train of thoughts became clearer.

“Five days ago, Ms. Fuller gave me a call after taking her annual leave. In the call, she asked me to do a task for her. The award for completing the task was three hundred thousand. Normally, I wouldn’t accept a task like this. However, I desperately needed the money to pay off the dowry to my fiancée’s parents. If I couldn’t pay the dowry, we would have no choice but to abort our baby.”

He took a breather before continuing, “My parents are farmers. We struggled to build a house with the meager income they make. Eventually, we ended up borrowing a lot of money. Not to mention, my family obviously wouldn’t have three hundred thousand lying around. So, to get three hundred thousand, I promised to do the task.”

“What utter nonsense!” Sally was enraged. “I don’t recall ever calling you, much less giving you money. Enough with your false accusations!”
