Chapter 386

Glaring at Ashton, Hudson feigned a pitiful look. “Mr. Fuller, please, I beg you. You can do whatever you

want with me. Just please don’t hurt my family.”

Ashton continued to remain silent. After a while, Joseph came back with a bag filled with pastries and a

glass of fruit juice.

He got someone to bring a table over to me and placed the pastries and the fruit juice neatly on the

table. “Mrs. Fuller, please help yourself!”

After that, Joseph immediately turned his gaze toward Ashton and reported, “I’ve already brought them

here. They’re outside right now.”

Hudson thought that his family was brought here and got furious. He glanced at Ashton with his fiery

eyes and uttered, “Ashton, you’re an abhorrent piece of sh*t. You said that you weren’t going to harm my

family if I told you what I know. You mendacious scoundrel!”

Joseph ordered two big strong men to hold him down before replying, “Who told you that the people

outside are your family?”

At that moment, the sound of high heels clattering could be heard approaching. The person who was

walking in was none other than Sally herself.

It was a warm and cozy day in J City. Although it was only January, the temperature had already risen.

She was wearing a dress paired with shiny high heels, which made her seem classy and elegant.

was

That being said, her classy attire didn’t quite fit into the setting. It made her look out of place.

Following beside her were two men in black suits. She was probably forcefully brought to this place.

After taking a scan around the place, Sally’s face turned pale when she saw Ashton. “Ashton, why are

you here?”

Ashton stretched his back and gazed at her with his eyebrows raised. “Why can’t I be here?”

Seeing how severely hurt Hudson was, Sally suddenly felt queasy and almost fell to the ground.

Ashton pinched his forehead while staring at Hudson. “Repeat what you’ve just said.”

Hudson’s facial expression relaxed after he realized it wasn’t his family who was being brought here by

Joseph. Having calmed down, his train of thoughts became clearer.

“Five days ago, Ms. Fuller gave me a call after taking her annual leave. In the call, she asked me to do a

task for her. The award for completing the task was three hundred thousand. Normally, I wouldn’t accept

a task like this. However, I desperately needed the money to pay off the dowry to my fiancée’s parents. If

I couldn’t pay the dowry, we would have no choice but to abort our baby.”

He took a breather before continuing, “My parents are farmers. We struggled to build a house with the

meager income they make. Eventually, we ended up borrowing a lot of money. Not to mention, my family

obviously wouldn’t have three hundred thousand lying around. So, to get

three hundred thousand, I promised to do the task.”

“What utter nonsense!” Sally was enraged. “I don’t recall ever calling you, much less giving you money.

Enough with your false accusations!”

Hudson glared at her. “The money is still in the car. Since you were paranoid of anyone finding the car

key, you hid it under the wall surrounding the White residence. Didn’t you tell me all of this yourself? The

three hundred thousand were in cash, and you’ve stashed them all inside the Ferrari.”

“The money is still there. You can go and have a look yourself. I’m not lying!”

Ashton stayed silent as he directed his eyes toward Joseph. Joseph then nodded his head before

saying, “I’ve checked inside the car. There was indeed three hundred thousand worth of cash inside it.

Since the notes weren’t marked, they probably weren’t taken out from the bank. And because of that, I

wasn’t able to trace the origin of the money.”

Sally was feeling despondent as he glanced at Ashton. “Ashton, I’m your aunt. There’s no incentive for

me to hurt your wife. You know that, right? You can’t just blindly trust what he’s saying.”

Joseph passed his phone over to Ashton and said, “Ms. Fuller here has met Ms. Larson once before in J

City.”

After looking at Joseph’s phone, his cold gaze turned toward Sally. “You came to J City in advance?”

Anxious, Sally’s face turned pale white. “I-I came to see my father,” she stuttered.

“Then why did you meet with Rebecca?” Ashton was running out of patience. His eyes were ice cold.

Sally’s body was shivering as she responded, “She was the one who wanted to meet up. She

blackmailed me into tricking Scarlett. If I didn’t comply, she would inform Cameron of the things I did

behind her back, which would then lead to a fallout between us.”

“Ha!” Ashton sneered.

A while later, he gazed at me and noticed that I hadn’t yet touched the fruit juice and pastries in front of

me. “Are they not to your liking?” he queried while frowning.

“No!” I shook my head.

“Are you tired?” He reached out his hand to grab my arm.

I nodded in response. I don’t know if we should continue to dig deeper or not. Would doing so further

complicate the situation? If the culprit behind all this really was Sally, what would Ashton do?Not to

mention, Rebecca is also now involved in all of this. Since he has such close ties with both Rebecca and

Sally,

I don’t think he could bring himself to hurt them.

Exhausted, I uttered, “Ashton, send me back home.”

He took a glance at the two people on the ground before looking at Joseph. “Call the police. We’ll leave

these two to them.” ;

Having heard his statement, Sally panicked. “Ashton, you don’t have any concrete evidence. You can’t

do this to me.”

Ashton glared at her intently. “Don’t worry. After the police are done with their investigations, we’ll use

other alternatives to solve the problem.”
