Chapter 1713 Time To Leave

He raised his hand to point at the screen behind him. “Look carefully. Besides his handsome face,

Ashton is just like me. Can you still claim to love him?”

Do I need a reason to love someone? After all, love is a feeling that needs no reasoning.

Alas, I knew Nathaniel wouldn’t get it.

Suddenly, I realized Nathaniel’s intention. It wasn’t enough for him to drag Ashton into hell, for he also

wanted me to fall out of love with Ashton and make him lonely and desolate before ending up as a

monster like him.

I wouldn’t let him have his way. “So? Can’t I love him for his looks?”

When Nathaniel’s smile finally slipped a notch, I went all out in provoking him. “Why? Are you going to

change your face to Ashton’s and replace him to live with us? Oh, let me see. You claimed to be God,

but in fact, you can’t even bring yourself to look at your own face. Am I right?”

Nathaniel’s expression darkened as an ominous black thundercloud of temper settled over him. “Do you

think you’re smart?”

“Did I say something wrong?” I persisted. “You can see through everyone, so I’m sure you know greed

drives us to achieve more. You hate the fact that Ashton is being loved by someone, and living a better

life. In fact, you think you are his savior and wanted to rid him of his feelings. Unfortunately, love will

never die. The sad truth is you’re driven by jealousy. You are jealous that Ashton has everything that

you’ll never have!”

Crash!

Nathaniel flung the wineglass before him out forcefully, and it landed on the ground with a crash. The red

liquid flowed out like an exploded atom among the broken pieces of glass, red and dangerous, just like

his expression.

I stuck my chin up but said nothing else. Going to the extreme might backfire on me, so I couldn’t afford

to provoke him any further.

The silence went on for thirty seconds, but Nathaniel refused to utter a word.

I knew it was time for me to leave.

Getting to my feet, I grabbed my bag and glanced at Nathaniel, who was deep in thought. “You might feel

excited at the thought of wiping out the powerful love Ashton’s loved ones have for him, but sorry to

disappoint you today. So, I have to apologize in advance. If Ashton doesn’t come back safely, I’ll love him

until the end of my life. Not only me but his family will be waiting for his return. You’ll never get what you

want!” I declared.

Having said my piece, I turned and strode to the door. When I pushed it open, Nathaniel’s assistant

stopped me.

“Mr. Hall?” he asked carefully.

I looked back, but Nathaniel didn’t even spare us a glance. He made a gesture to order his assistant to

let me leave.

His assistant immediately stood aside, and I strode out.

I only relaxed when the elevator doors closed before me.

Nathaniel must’ve understood the underlying meaning in my parting speech. The only way to destroy

Ashton completely was to release him. As long as Ashton got to come back, everything can be solved.

Perhaps Nathaniel wouldn’t do as told, but I had no other choice.

Come back, Ashton. I’ve done everything I could.

Things didn’t go as smoothly as expected. I didn’t receive any news about Ashton for two days in a row.

A day later, I received news from Holden that Ashton had appeared in a deal with some Venrians in

Thymion three days ago. It should be the deal Nathaniel showed me live that day.

One would need to work hard his whole life to be a righteous person, but it would take a split second to

become a bad person. I did not know when Ashton would give up on himself, so I had to do something

before that happened.

John and Emery busied themselves to resolve this problem. It seemed that Holden didn’t want to offend

Nathaniel and the forces behind him, so the information he provided later was scarce. He was, after all, a

businessperson who was used to being hypocritical. Nevertheless, his action reminded me not to depend

on one source only.
