When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 1752 You Are In Charge

John furrowed his eyebrows in disbelief. Looking thoughtful, he asked, “You’re saying that everything Ashton has been doing recently is a lie and that he is doing this undercover? Are you sure about that?”

As smart as he was, he quickly grasped the meaning behind my words. I nodded with my lips pursed, my eyes filled with undeniable conviction. “I’m certain of it.”

“Hmm…” Unconvinced, John let out a long hum and didn’t reveal his thoughts.

I could understand his skepticism. After all, even the Lyons family had been dragged into this war, which was one that we couldn’t afford to lose. It was too risky for him to have faith in Ashton, who had never pledged his loyalty to anyone.

If he was still a youth, he would make the same bet as I did without a care for the consequences. But now, he was all grown up and was a legitimate head of a family. Hence, he could no longer make decisions recklessly.

That day, his scathing words were not just meant to frighten me. If Ashton had really changed, he would go all out to take him down. But even so, he was apprehensive when faced with my decision to trust Ashton still.

After all, other than being stubborn and soft-hearted at times, John was someone who would deliberate upon matters comprehensively.
