When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Chapter 153

Breaking out in cold sweat, I almost dropped my phone. How did he find out? I hid it in my coat! 

Forcing out a calm front, I took out my phone and switched off the power right in his face. “Can we talk now?”

He sat up straight and replied, “Of course!’

“So, Mr. Tuffin, why did you kidnap me for no good reason?” Though that incident was kept hidden for a few months now, it was something difficult for me to get over without an explanation.

Mr. Tuffin lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. “About that… I was just acting on someone’s orders for the sake of money.”

I remained silent as I listened.

“AC Credit used to be in charge of Fuller Corporation’s audit. However, Mr. Fuller suddenly chose Harrison Credit to do it instead. AC Credit needed to take action, you know? And another thing, someone did want you to leave Mr. Fuller. Those are the reasons why I did what I did. I apologize if I caused you any trauma, Mrs. Fuller,” he continued.

I laughed bitterly, “You’re making all of it sound so normal and justified, aren’t you? What a joke. From what I know, you’re not related to AC Credit in any way. Are you seriously telling me that you risked your life and went through all the trouble of setting me up just for the sake of AC Credit?”

Mr. Tuffin snubbed out his cigarette and smirked, “How are you so sure that AC Credit’s survival is in no way related to me About your kidnapping, why don’t you go and ask Mr. Quinn instead? I bet he has a lot more to say.”

“Joe Quinn?”

He chuckled, “To be honest, threatening you to host the public tender was not a difficult matter, and I had thought about all the different ways I could achieve that. However, due to some external factors, I had to go for the more unpleasant method. Sorry about that!”
