In Love, Never Say Never

Life was bitter and short. She definitely did not wish to have such a toxic presence in her life, anyway.

As I was still a bit woozy, I wanted to go back as soon as possible. Hence, I patted her shoulders and left.

Surprisingly, she suddenly grabbed my hands and fell onto her knees. When she knelt, she sobbed softly. “I’m sorry, Ms. Stovall. I shouldn’t have done that in the past. I know my mistake now and have suffered my due punishment.”

I frowned and tried to help her out. However, she refused to stand and continued sobbing. “Ms. Stovall, you’re the only one who can help me now. Felix is a complete devil. Back then, in order to gain a foothold in AC Credit, he instructed me to do things that I’m not supposed to. After I got together with him, I realized how terrifyingly violent he is. He would beat me and scold me for no reason, even chasing me out of the house in the middle of the night. I can’t take it anymore! As I don’t have any family or friends left, you’re the only one who can help me.”

At a loss for what to do, I asked, “Since you aren’t happy, you can divorce him. Isn’t he detained right now? Change a job and live a peaceful life from now on. How can I help you?”

She kept shaking her head desperately as tears streamed down her cheeks. “It’s useless. When he first started to abuse me, I called the cops on him and got him detained. However, he was released a few days later and started abusing me even more harshly. I have no other choices. I wanted to get a divorce, but he refused to. I really don’t know what to do anymore. I’m begging you, Ms. Stovall, please help me out!”

“T-This… It’s not that I didn’t want to, but how?” I did not know what to say. After all, as this was her domestic affairs, I was not in much of a position to help. Furthermore, only she could help herself when it came to something like this.

Raising her head, she gazed at me with her bloodshot eyes. “Felix’s got the president of AC Credit and the Ludwick family backing him up. If they don’t help him, he’ll get jailed for more than three years. If I live apart from him for three years, the marriage will be dissolved automatically, and I’ll finally regain my freedom. Ms. Stovall, since Mr. Fuller loves you so much, he’ll definitely help you if you ask.”

I frowned, feeling speechless. Since when does Ashton love me?

Opening my mouth, I was about to say something when someone interrupted me.
