Ashton frowned and stared at me. “Are you pushing me away because of what happened in Venria?”

I nodded and said, “I was lucky. I didn’t suffer from the surgery, but I went through everything else.

Ashton, I have my choices.”

“What did you choose?” He wore a grim expression. “Scarlett, you never told me anything and pushed

me away. Do I seem so unworthy of your trust? You went to ask for help from a man you’ve just met for a

few times, and not me. What exactly am I to you?”

I pursed my lips as I didn’t know what to say. It’s just as he said. I was indeed looking for reasons to push

him away.

“No?” Nora came out of the restaurant and was completely baffled. “What are you guys quarreling

about? You’re Ashton, right?”

She was only 1.6m in height, while the man who was 1.88m was rather tall for her, so she could only

raise her head to look at him. “Mr. Fuller, you can manage your billions of assets, but you can’t even be

rational in relationships? You actually believed everything that busybody told you and started questioning

Scarlett even before asking if it’s true. Hey man, think about it. Does this make sense?”

Her showing up got both of us stunned. Ashton frowned slightly at her and asked, “What do you mean?”

“I meant what I said!” Nora was rather furious and dragged me away. “Let’s go. Don’t waste your time on

a no-brainer like him.”

I was dragged away by Nora while Ashton quickly caught up to us. He held onto my arm and asked,

“Scarlett, can we make things clear before you leave? Is that okay?”

In the bustling city, his tall figure and good looks made us stand out among the crowd.

Nora was a hot-tempered woman, so she couldn’t back down. “What is there to talk about? You yelled at

her before knowing everything. That alone is enough to prove that there’s nothing to talk about.”

After pausing for a while, she continued, “Besides, Mr. Fuller, don’t think that you can do whatever you

want because you’re good-looking.”

I…

I’ve got a feeling that Nora hasn’t figured out the situation yet.

I couldn’t help but utter, “Nora, can you wait for me in the car. I have something to discuss with him.”

The woman nodded and turned to Ashton. “Mr. Fuller, no matter what Tessa told you, you mustn’t believe

a word she said. She’s always feigning kindness, but she is ugly inside.”

“Nora, what nonsense are you spouting?” Tessa exited the restaurant and charged at Nora with no

hesitation.

The two women didn’t care about their image and started throwing punches at each other.

Nora was wearing heels, and she took it as a weapon. Hurling the tip of her high heels at Tessa, she

roared, “Tessa! If you dare to badmouth Scarlett, I won’t let you go. I’ve seen many pretentious b*tch, but

this is my first time seeing an ugly one. Let me remind you. Be thankful that Scarlett saved you. Or else

god knows what will happen to you.”

The fight between the two women went on and attracted a crowd.

Tessa was no pushover either. She pulled Nora’s hair and snarled, “She saved you guys too! Nora, do

you think she will treat you well if you become her dog? What wishful thinking! She’s just using you.”

The two of them kept on hurling insults and punches at each other. As no one interfered and asked them

to stop, the crowd grew and everyone was watching the show.

I turned to look at Ashton. He was staring at me indifferently, totally ignoring the ruckus.

“Can you ask Joseph to stop them?” I asked as I was concerned about Nora. Although she was bold, her

stamina couldn’t catch up. If this goes on, she’ll be at a disadvantage.

Ashton glanced at Joseph and dragged me into the car.

His movements were too fast, and before I could struggle, I was pinned to the seat.

“Ashton, you…” I gritted my teeth.

“Shut up!” He spoke with a low voice while focusing on driving.

He drove the car toward the city and kept on speeding. I was scared to death, so I held onto the seat for

dear life.

It was quite a while before he stopped the car by the roadside. He parked and exited the vehicle before

dragging me out.

“Ashton, why are you bringing me here?” Unwilling to be dragged away, I tried to break free from his

clutches.

He was walking rather quickly. I wasn’t able to catch up with him, so I stumbled along the road and

almost fell down a few times.

I was unfamiliar with my surroundings, so I panicked.

Thankfully, after dragging me for some time, he brought me to a rest area by the roadside. There was a

river beside the area.

When we headed toward the riverside, he pinned me to the handrail while his dark eyes gleamed. “Tell

me everything. Give me an explanation.”
