When There Is Nothing Left But Love -

Chapter 1226
Why would he ask when he knew the truth?
Instinctively, my hands clenched into fists. The sight of his hypocritical expression left me with aburning desire to slice him in half.
Yet, I had to exercise restraint.
There was a ninety percent chance that my child was under Ezra’s possession. If I angered him, mychild would be the one who suffers in this exchange.
Sensing my mood shift, John placed his hand over my fists in an attempt to deter any rash movement.
Gritting my teeth, I took a deep breath and painted a forceful smile across my face. “Thank you for yourconcern. My children are fine.”
Ezra nodded good-naturedly. “I heard that you gave birth to twins. Finally, the Fullers are blessed with ahealthy son. Though, I’m afraid that it may be hard to win custody of your child. If you’d like, I can helpyou smoothen things over at the court by pulling a few strings.”
The sight of his kind and gentle expression would have fooled me if I didn’t know about his mercilessinvolvement with Ashton’s parents.
I opened my mouth and prepared to reject his offer. Yet, John beat me to it. “It seems that the office hasnothing much going on. Seeing such a dignified person like you running around idly, it’s no wonder thatthey have nothing better to do. They even dared to launch an investigation against Uncle Louis. Theywill be doomed once I take action,” John said as an ominous aura seemed to surge from his body.
“Mr. Grant, you should remind them of their limits. If they continue to meddle with Uncle Louis, youshouldn’t blame me for taking things too far!” he laughed coldly. John’s manner of speech had taken adramatic turn.
Louis was an upright and righteous official; he was very proud of his achievements and held no fearwhen the investigations began. He even forbade John from using the connections within the Stovallfamily to help him. Due to his stubbornness, we have not received news about him in over a month.
Although it was a good trait to obey the rules, having such a stubborn mindset could invoke countlesstroubles. Such problems would even cause the loved ones to worry. Yet, these things paled incomparison to having to look Ezra in the face. He was a wicked man who held no shame for hisactions!
John was a man who grew up with strict principles and rules. It was no doubt that his impactful wordswere a form of warning to Ezra.
Ezra seemed to jolt in shock before he rose to his feet. Nonchalantly, he patted his jacket. “Anyway,I’ve tried to deliver my offer to help. Feel free to contact me if you have any problems. I’ll take my leavefirst. You do not need to trouble yourself by escorting me,” Ezra said calmly.
After he spoke, he strode out of the living room.
As Ezra’s figure vanished into the distance, I began to speculate about the situation.
I couldn’t believe that he made an effort to prove his innocence by paying us a visit. He must have seenthe power behind the Stovall and Moore family. If he wanted our support, he would not make a moveagainst my child.
Yet, who else would it be if it wasn’t him?
All of a sudden, my phone began to ring on the table. As I glanced towards the screen, it indicated thatan unregistered number was calling me.
Even if the call could put me in grave danger, I would have picked it up anyway. Without hesitation, Ipicked my phone and answered the call before lifting it to my ear. “Hello, who is this?”
A familiar voice drifted through the call. “Letty,” the voice called out.
The voice belonged to Marcus!
Unconsciously, I gripped the phone a little tighter. “Marcus, where are you?” my voice wavered with ahint of worry.
“Let’s save that for later. I saw them carrying a newborn child at the airport, is the baby yours…” he cutme off in a hurry.
His words caused my body to seize up. Instinctively, I inhaled deeply as my grasp on the phonetightened.
F*ck! How could I be so careless that I forgot about GW Group?
For the sake of the children, Fuller Corporation had canceled the alliance with GW Group. Before heleft, Sean brooded over the cancellation for a long time. If they were the ones who staged thekidnapping, it would make perfect sense!
“Marcus, where are you? Have you found Camelia and Toby? Where did the men bring them? Do youremember the location?” I rambled on in panic.
“No,” Marcus rasped, “I’ve been searching for a year but failed to discover any leads. This time,someone leaked the news on purpose. They revealed the locations where GW Group frequents.Coincidentally, I bumped into the child at one of those locations.”
