Chapter 1552
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
The woman who was sobbing earlier fell silent all of a sudden. Knowing that she had wronged us,
Tiffany couldnât bring herself to glance at me and Gregory. Her eyes flickered and were out of focus.
âMy men wouldnât go overboard and scare him. Besides, Ashton seized them already. What else could
happen? Youâre trying to frame meâ¦â
âAre you still denying that itâs your fault?â Ashtonâs deep voice sounded.
Tiffany bowed her head even lower and shuddered. âGregory is completely fine. What have I done
wrong?â
âYou unrepentant woman!â Ashton said through gritted teeth.
Afterward, he gave me and Gregory a sideways glance, asking impassively, âGregory, did you hear
what she said? Do you see her true colors now?â
Only then I noticed that Gregory had been furrowing his brows.
âOkay.â He nodded his head. âI got it.â
Tilting his chin back slightly, Ashton squinted his eyes. His gaze darkened for a split second. âFrom now
onward, you have only one name, that is Gregory Fuller. The Halls arenât your family.â
âI understand.â Gregory nodded again, though he didnât fully grasp the meaning of his fatherâs words.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, âHow about Uncle Nathaniel?â
âIâll explain to you later.â Ashtonâs voice was flat. I couldnât tell of his mood right now, but I knew that this
was not the time to ask any other question.
Knowing his fatherâs temperament, Gregory took note of his words and fell silent.
Afterward, the man turned to look at Tiffany again. His gaze grew much more frigid. âIâve given you
enough chances.â
Anyone with common sense could easily read between the lines and tell of his murderous
intent. Tiffany went hysterical, standing up and backing away. âNo, you canât do this. Nothing happened
to Gregory. You canât kill me!â
Ashtonâs expression remained nonchalant as he stood rooted to the spot. Nevertheless, his
overbearing aura was so palpable that she felt like she was about to get crushed anytime.
âDeath is an easy way out for you. Youâre as good as dead the moment I found out that youâre the one
who published the obituary. Yet, I let you off because youâre my sister. Now itâs time for you to get a
taste of your own medicine. Iâll make your life a living hell.â
The man heaved a long sigh. His thin lips parted as he commanded, âCome in.â
As soon as those words left his mouth, Joseph came in with a few bodyguards. Thinking that they were
going to take her away, Tiffany hid in a corner with her back pressing against the wall. Reluctance was
written all over her face.
Unexpectedly, the bodyguards made a turn and headed to the bed. Bending over to pick Keith up, they
took him out of the room straight away.
âWhat are you guys trying to do to him? Let go! Let go of him now!â
âAh!â
Just like his subordinates, Joseph strictly executed the order. With no mercy, he shoved Tiffany
forcefully onto the floor. Her forehead hit the bedside table, and blood gushed out instantly.
âOuchâ¦â The woman shook her head to stay conscious, reaching out to touch her forehead. Her face
contorted with pain as she looked at the crimson blood on her palm. In the next second, she struggled
and stood up to chase after Joseph and the others.
Striding around the bed, Ashton grabbed her shoulders and pushed her onto the bed.
The knock on her head and the fall were too much for her. Closing her eyes, Tiffany was too weak to
get out of the bed. Moving her lips, she mumbled inaudibly.
âSince you refuse to let people who genuinely love each other stay together, Iâll help you fulfill your
wish. In this life, youâll not get to see Keith ever again. One thing is for sure, Iâll get someone to feed
and take care of him until he breathes his last. But youâll never find him.â
There was no punishment more cruel than endless mental torment.
The only way to make Tiffany realize her mistake was to put her through the agony of being separated
from her loved one.
For Keithâs sake, she ruined Ashtonâs relationship with me, went against Nicolas, and disregarded the
safety of her own nephew. She was madly in love with that man. Sure enough, she would never be at
peace with herself in her lifetime.
In a daze, Tiffany heard Ashtonâs words. Unable to move an inch, she murmured pleadingly, âNoâ¦
Ashton, Iâm sorry. Itâs my fault⦠Please, I beg youâ¦â
