When There Is Nothing Left But Love

At that thought, I slowed in my steps.

“Mrs. Fuller, please don’t worry. Everything is going according to Mr. Fuller’s plan,” Joseph suddenly said.

I froze, processing his words. “Did Ashton already know that Armond was intending to bomb the island?”

Joseph turned around and took a cautious look at Armond’s men, who were behind us. Then, he glanced at his phone before urging me to carry on walking.

I quickened my steps while looking at Joseph. “Tell me. How is Ashton intending to handle this?”

Joseph lowered his voice, and with a grim expression, he replied, “Armond’s men are scattered around the island, as such, their weaponry forces are not very concentrated. Two days ago, our men took control of one of the island’s piers. If Armond’s forces try to attack us, they will not be a match for us. We will be able to leave from that pier after meeting up with Mr. Gregory and Ms. Audrey.”

“What about Ashton? The golf course is already entirely under Armond’s control. How do you plan to rescue him?” I asked further while observing our surroundings, worried that something would crop up again.

Before Joseph could reply, I spotted the nanny with my babies. They were heading towards us, escorted by a few bodyguards.

The nanny was walking at a very fast pace, so the kids were understandably frightened by the bumpy journey. Audrey brawled as if she was in anguish, sounding extremely pitiful.
