Chapter 1483
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
âIt is a husbandâs job to fulfill his wifeâs wish if they are reasonable,â uttered Ashton, seemingly pleased
with himself.
He was, indeed, acting like a desirable husband.
Yet, I found it annoying.
I put down my fork and stalked out.
Ashton called out, âWhere are you going?â
I pretended not to hear him and strode away.
Sensing my intention, his voice grew louder. âA husband has the right to know his wifeâs whereabouts.â
Ha! Duty? Right? One will think heâs a lawyer!
I didnât want him to come after me, so I dismissed him with a wave and said, âIâm going to get you a
doctor. Itâs part of my duty, so just stay at home!â
Millie stopped the car in front of Tiffanyâs house. I got down and went in, but a bodyguard stopped me
from going further. âWho are you?â
âScarlett Stovall, your employerâs sister-in-law,â I replied politely.
The bodyguard studied me for a while before replying doubtfully, âWait here. I shall inform her on your
arrival.â
Shortly after he went in, Tiffany appeared in my sight.
She was wearing ruby red silk pajamas; her face drained of color. It seemed like she was gravely ill.
She waved the bodyguards away.
When we were left alone, she uttered icily, âWhy are you here? Do you seriously think you are Scarlett?
My brother is siding with you because of your face. You wonât gloat for long. If youâre here to laugh at
me, I think you should take a look at yourself!â
Before I could speak, Tiffany started attacking me verbally. I felt my head throbbing from her swift
speech.
Frowning slightly, I retorted, âIâm not interested in your matter. Iâm here for one reason. Tell me who
hypnotized Ashton back then.â
It should be a well-known fact, but something triggered Tiffany as she yelled at me, âGet out of my sight
now!â
âGet out of my house right now!â
Her face was contorted in anger as she shrieked with all her might.
I wasnât close to Tiffany, but I remembered her being a haughty socialite. She would never lose her
composure in public.
Right now, Tiffany seemed like a madwoman instead of a socialite brought up in a well-to-do family.
I pursed my lips and asked, âTiffany Hall, are you alright?â
Upon hearing her name, her eyes lit up as she returned to her senses.
She calmed down and immediately changed the topic. âWhen Ashton remembers everything, heâll
dump you as youâre just a substitute. Why are you wasting your efforts on him?â
She was acting strangely, but I couldnât be bothered to interfere in her business and answered, âYou
donât have to remind me about that. Just tell me who hypnotized Ashton back then. Where is he? Do
you have his contact?â
âWhy donât you just give up? I donât know anything. Even if I do, I wonât say anything.â Tiffany got ahold
of herself and announced haughtily, âDonât say I didnât warn you. Itâs a bad idea to try to conquer
Ashton. Youâre not the woman he loves. Heâs a rock that wonât respond to your feelings.â
Clearly, she was trying to sow discord between me and Ashton.
I thought about it before replying icily, âAshtonâs life had nothing to do with the Hall family. What about
you? You used him to reach your goals. Have you ever thought of him as your brother? If heâs a rock,
what are you then?â
Hearing my exclamation, Tiffany studied me nonchalantly before scoffing, âCarlette, you need my help,
right? Why are you acting this way, then?â
