In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 471

She still speaks as recklessly as she did four years ago.

Nancy’s face was pale as she pursed her lips. “What does that have to do with you anyway? And who are you? Why are you sticking your nose into other people’s business?”

“Pfft!” Emery sighed, “Looks like the Moore family has been a bit too under-the-radar these few years.” She turned her gaze towards the two secretaries standing to the side, raising her eyebrows in a taunt. “You two would know who I am, would you?”

Both secretaries shook their heads and replied hurriedly, “Ms. Moore, surely you jest.”

Emery nodded and looked back at Nancy. “I guess I should’ve expected your ignorance. After all, actresses aren’t really invited to important events to socialize with businessmen or politicians, much less the ones like you. “

“Y-You—” Nancy stuttered furiously at her mockery.

Emery sneered, “Looking at your current state, I’d say you haven’t seen much during those years you were hanging around Ashton, yes? Do you think Scarlett isn’t a worthy match for Ashton? I’ll bring you up to speed then, so you don’t harbor any regrets when you meet your maker.”

“You b*tch!” Nancy yelled. “You just own a few small companies and you really think of yourself as some bigshot.”

I used to think Nancy was pretty cute and innocent sometimes. Knowing that Vanessa was her mother, and after observing her this whole time, I realized that they really were pretty alike. She takes after her mother after all!

Emery scoffed coldly, bored at her antics. But since she’s already taken the shot, it would be more fun to take her down a notch or two.

She planted herself on the secretary’s chair and propped her chin up to stare at Nancy. “You’ve never heard of the Moore family of K City, but what about the Stovall family? Ms. Goldstein, do you really think Ashton would just marry a nobody?”

Stunned, Nancy asked, “What do you mean?”

“What I’m trying to say is that you’re not only inferior to Scarlett in terms of looks and talents but also your background. Look at your mother’s character. Now, compare that to Scarlett’s father. Don’t you have any idea at all of the difference in your standings? If I’d been the one dealing with your slander towards Scarlett, I’d have hired someone to teach you a lesson. But Scarlett was the bigger person and chose to let it go. I did hear, however, that her godfather Louis can be very protective towards his own despite his strict beliefs in the law. I also know that your mother is a convicted felon. All he needs to do is find a small transgression to send both you and your mother back into prison. You’d be lucky to get out after that!”
