Chapter 1203
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
After speaking, he tossed the wine glass on the table and sat back on the chair. The wine glass
wobbled and was about to topple on the table when Zayneâs wife reached out to catch it in time,
preventing the situation from becoming tenser.
She noticed my gaze, and we nodded at each other in greeting.
Unexpectedly, Zayne, who canât tell right from wrong, has such a mild-mannered wife.
In the upper-class society, having the past of being adopted in the countryside was not something to be
proud of. He clearly intended to embarrass John by bringing it up in front of people of this class.
With his head down, John sneered and shot Zayne a vicious look. âYouâre right, Mr. Ziegler. I dislike
following the rules the most. I donât plan on following the rules today as well. Mitchell abducted Letty
and almost killed her babies. I wonât let him off the hook. Itâs either he stays abroad for the rest of his
life and never comes back, or Iâll sue him until he goes to jail!â
He was a little agitated, so things started to get out of hand. Having seen a great deal, Ezra no longer
wore a displeased look on his face and placated, âAlright. Why make a fuss at a dinner? Do me a favor.
Letâs finish this meal happily, shall we?â
As his words were directed at John, the others did not dare to respond. Johnâs attitude determined
whether they could continue having the dinner in peace.
As everyone waited for his answer, his attention was on Ashton. He squinted at the latter with pursed
lips and raised eyebrows, he was clearly suppressing his anger.
After all, Ashton was the protagonist of the dinner, but he had never spoken a single word after he sat
down and simply let Ezra and Zayne take the lead, looking like he was on the same team as them.
John had only one purpose, which was to seek justice for me and my babies. Seeing Ashton like this,
he was displeased and began to mock, âSomeone was making some grandiose statements previously,
and yet now he doesnât even have the guts to say anything to the enemy who has harmed his own wife
and kids. This is something totally new to meâ¦â
Johnâs remark made things even more awkward.
However, Ashton casually took the wine glass in front of him and slowly took a sip from it before placing
it back down in an elegant manner, as though he had not heard what John had said.
Enraged, John abruptly got up and swept the tableware in front of him to the ground. âIâm talking about
you, Ashton Fuller! Youâre not mute, are you? Didnât you say you want to seek revenge? What now?
Did you get intimidated by them and decide to become a coward who doesnât even want to bring up the
wrong your wife and kids have suffered?â
The sound of the tableware falling to the ground was loud and harsh. I looked up at him in shock.
Whereas Ashton remained calm with the same expression. Keeping his head down, he said through
his gritted teeth after a long silence, âThis is my family affair.â
Ashton had always been arrogant, but he looked even more so at this moment as he called John nosy.
To be honest, the two of them are so annoying when theyâre mean.
As though he had heard a joke, John put his hands on his hip and announced coldly, âAre you saying
that Iâm an outsider? Very well, Ashton Fuller, Iâve underestimated you. Itâs settled, then. From now on,
the Stovall family will cut ties with the Fullers. You donât need to see Letty anymore!â
âLetty!â He suddenly shouted my name furiously. I was taken aback, so I replied meekly, âYeah?â
âLetâs go.â Staring at Ashton, John enunciated each word slowly, âSomeone is scared of offending
others, but Iâm not. After we go back, Iâll get the lawyer to draft a divorce agreement so that the two of
you can make a clean break. From now on, youâre only a member of the Stovall family. As your brother,
I wonât stand idly by and do nothing whenever youâve been bullied!â
