When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1646

Still, all of these were minor issues. Dealing with Quince would be ten times tougher than dealing with

Lucas. Quince had already stated his goal—regardless of the authenticity of those photos, they were

already in K City, so they were not going to return empty-handed. If we did not agree to their terms, then

he would assume that we were deliberately going against them and looking down on them.

Even ordinary people would be livid being looked down on by another, let alone gang members like

them. In order to make sure that they would not return empty-handed, the next course of action they

might take would be to destroy all of Fuller Corporation’s businesses.

After all, it was the typical act of the petty. If I can’t get it, you can’t too.

Ashton feared threats the least, so I thought he would mercilessly send these people out of the house

like he usually would. To my surprise, he calmly looked at Quince with a small smile.

I knew Ashton too well. The more he acted in this way, the more dangerous he was.

Ashton was a man who could kill without leaving any traces behind. However, there were over ten

thousand members in Skull. If anything were to happen to their two leaders in Chanaea, those men in M

Country might find their way over to Chanaea. If anything were to go wrong, they would hold us

accountable.

Nevertheless, Summer was still so young, and it was only her first business. How could we let her live

among the vultures?

As of now, there seemed to be no other way than to lure them to ourselves so that Summer would not

have to deal with them. However, that would mean that we would involve the company and our family in

the mess. It was a very tough decision, so I was stumped.

“Okay,” Ashton suddenly said. “We can work together.”

He had always been a man of plans. Although we were surprised by his abrupt agreement, neither John

nor I said anything about it. Even though we argued at home, we would always stand on the same side

when outsiders were involved. After all, we were a family.

“Really? That’s the right call you’ve made, Fuller.”

Lucas’ frown disappeared the moment he heard Ashton relent. He stood up joyously and plopped himself

down beside John again. As he was a heavy man, the couch sank, and John was nearly sent flying

upward.

Lucas then reached out past John’s head to rest his arm on the latter’s shoulder and merrily said,

“Remember what I was saying earlier? We’re the best business partners in the world!”

John had the figure of a model. Among our own people, he towered over them. Yet, he looked like a child

beside Lucas.

“Stop it! Stop coming any closer to me. I’m not gay, okay?” John smacked Lucas’ hand away before

dusting his shoulder in disgust. As he did that, he said, “He’s him, and I’m me. The old man is watching

over the Stovall family, I’d dare you to do it if you’re trying to end our business right as we start.”

Upon hearing John’s words, I guessed that he must have told them about Louis’ identity before we came

home. It was because when “the old man” was mentioned, Lucas flashed him a polite smile before

stopping the topic.

Nevertheless, Ashton took it as a sign to say, “That’s what I’m worried about. The Stovalls are raised in a

strict environment, and Uncle Louis is about to leave the political scene. Perhaps you don’t know, but

Stovall Corporation isn’t the only company that has to undergo frequent investigations from the relevant

department; our company has to go through those as well. I’d have to ask if you’d be able to take these

losses.”

Lucas waved his hand in an arc and dismissed it. “They’re just cops. We can either use money or guns

to deal with them.”

Ashton subtly lowered his head as a meaningful grin grew on his lips.

I smiled as well before saying, “Perhaps you don’t know how impressive the Chanaean law is. Not long

ago, a politician called Grant had been taken off his position. After his incident, the internal investigations

will only be more vigorous and thorough. The law enforcement officers won’t be merciful anymore.

Regardless of who you are, no one who breaks the law can escape. So, even after finding out about this,

will you two still invest your life’s savings into Chanaea?”

I had to admit that Ashton’s reaction was swift. Once the issue of law was on the table, confidence

swelled in my chest.

If they could create a diversion, then I could find a roundabout way to deal with them.
