When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“Yeah, right…” Armond seemed unperturbed. He shook his finger at us in mockery. “Look how confident you are in yourself. Aren’t you afraid that you might have to bow down to me one day?”

“Go back to your swamp if you want to entertain those pipedreams. You’re an eyesore to society,” John hissed, gearing up to attack.

“I’ll go only if Scarlett tells me to. In my opinion, however, she won’t want to see me go because of her two daughters.”

Armond gazed at me with his dark eyes, which were so black that they looked like an abyss. The hellish aura radiating from him grew even stronger.

Had my worst nightmare happened after all?

Clenching my fists, I gritted my teeth and forced myself to remain calm. Knowing that I was very agitated, John turned to me quickly and said reassuringly, “Scarlett, don’t trust him. He’s lying to you. After the last time, I increased the level of security around the house, and even hired a number of mercenaries for protection. No one can get to Summer and the baby.”

Tears were already swimming in my eyes. I fought them back and clung onto John’s arm, nodding seriously.

However, Armond plodded on. He snorted and continued, “How ridiculous. Scarlett, are you really going to buy what he says? Think carefully about this. If he’s right, how did my men manage to cart your son off before?”

This jabbed at the weakest spot in my heart.
