In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1023

She looked at me with reddened eyes as she clasped her hands tightly together. “Scarlett, I can’t turn back anymore. I won’t involve Grandpa’s men in this, but as long as he’s connected to it, I’ll do whatever I can to protect him.”

I frowned but understood her obsession and calmly replied, “Okay. As long as you think it’s worth it.”

This marked the end of our friendship.

There was no use talking about it anymore.

As soon as we left the café and got into the car, Joseph said, “There’re a few trucks below Imperial Hotel. Apparently, they’re cleaning out the hotel’s junk. They’re moving stuff right now.”

Taken aback, I hesitated for a while before I replied, “Let’s go there now!”

He nodded and started up the car.

When we reached Imperial Hotel, four or five trucks were parked by the entrance, and there were several men moving things into the trucks. Thus, Joseph parked the car outside.

“Why are they suddenly moving all these? Where are they bringing them to?”

After watching them for a while, I noticed that they were bringing out tables, chairs, cardboard boxes, and white quilts. They seemed to be old items that the hotel did not want.

As I stared at the white quilts that had been loaded into the truck, I pondered for a moment before I asked, “Can you do something to make the truck with the quilts catch fire?”

Joseph was stunned for a moment, probably because he was thinking the same thing as I was. Then, he nodded. “I can!”

Subsequently, he called made a call and arranged for someone to tamper with the car.

Soon, a noise came from inside. We watched from our car as the truck started to catch fire, emitting smoke. “Make use of this messy situation and get someone to see if there’s anything wrapped in the quilts.”

Joseph nodded and spoke into his headset. Shortly after, he looked at me and replied, “There’re weapons wrapped inside!”

“Call the police and the fire department. Also, get some men to surround the area. Don’t let anyone get out.” As long as this succeeded, Armond would be called to come back, therefore leaving him no time to deal with Ashton.

Shortly after that, I heard police sirens and the fire engines then arrived. As I watched the horde of men rush into the hotel, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

I turned to Joseph and said, “Come on, let’s go and meet Dillan!”
