In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1044

John’s lips curled in distaste. “It seems like you’re not aware, but I, John Stovall, always do whatever I like. These are my final words to you. Don’t ever appear before me. If I see you coming to the Stovall residence or my company again, don’t expect to get away unscathed. I can get really creative when it comes to tormenting people, so you better do as I say.”

Tears rolled down Yvonne’s cheeks as she stared at John pitifully. “John, I don’t know what I did wrong, but don’t force me to leave. Just tell me what I did wrong and I’ll immediately change. As long as you don’t make me leave, I’ll do whatever you ask me to do!”

Irritated by her persistence, John sneered, “Are you sure you’ll do whatever I ask you to do?”

Yvonne nodded profusely. “Yes! As long as you don’t force me to leave!”

“Then just die,” John ordered, behaving like a ruffian. He was never one to think before speaking. Hence, he had said that to her on a whim.

Thinking he was being serious, Yvonne peered at him expectantly. “Does this mean I can stay by your side as long I die?” She looked like she was actually taking his words seriously.

John nodded and cocked a brow. “Yes. Go on, then.”

With that, he looked past her at Ashton and me. “Let’s go. I’m starving.”

Before we could respond, a loud noise came from the pond outside Stovall Corporation, and following that, we saw the water inside splash a few meters high.

I realized with a start that it was Yvonne. Whipping my head toward John, I exclaimed, “I think she jumped in!”

John glanced back fleetingly but remained aloof as he replied blandly, “Mm, I guess so. C’mon, let’s go for lunch now.”

Then, he walked out without a care in the world. Ashton didn’t even bat an eyelash. Meanwhile, I was flabbergasted.

Similar to me, the security guards outside and the front desk personnel were taken aback. Looking dumbly at the pond, one of them cautiously asked, “Mr. Stovall, how should we deal with this?”

John’s brows knitted together in annoyance. “Deal with it as you see fit, of course. Send her to the hospital if she doesn’t die and if she does, call the funeral home to take her away. Make sure to make it a grand funeral. I think she’d like that very much.”

Without faltering in his steps, he directly got into my car.

The security guards and I were wearing similarly stunned expressions.
