When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Chapter 1590

Chapter 1590

The more you learned, the more you hid, they say, and Summer had been very considerate ever sincewe reunited. Now, seeing her doing things quietly on her own gave me a bad feeling.

Coincidentally, Joseph brought the maid over to carry the things we bought and interrupted theconversation.

We did not bring it up after that, so I thought it was over. However, Emery actually kept it to heart. Nottwo hours after we got back, she appeared at our doorstep. She took out an entire stack of documentsand dumped it on the table, telling us that she wanted to groom Summer.

“We’re all family here, so I’ll cut to the chase. Summer is a diamond in the rough for business. Let hercome back and learn how to do business with me. She can take MBA courses too. I’ll fully supportwhatever project she comes up with in the future and will not intervene. There’s only one condition. I’mnot letting a talent like you get snatched away, so we need to sign a contract, so I don’t have to worry.”

Summer clearly did not think about that, so she did not respond and merely looked at Ashton and me.

Suddenly, a lazy voice grew louder from afar. “The Fullers has so many properties waiting to beinherited. It’s still uncertain whether the kids could do it, but how great of you to snatch an heir away tomake money for you. That’s quite a plan you got there.”

Holden walked down the stairs with his silk pajamas and messy hair. Anyone would know he just got ofbed from a glance.

He’s still here?

“This is family business. Keep out of it.” Emery could not care less about who he was. She was ruthlessif someone spoiled her mood. “You, however, are on all the covers of entertainment magazines after

just getting back, Mr. Taylor. It looks like you’re very popular no matter where you go. Are two kidneysenough for you?”

“Since when did you care?” Holden tied the drawstring at his waist while coming down. “Would you liketo try and see whether two is enough?”

After the incident with Hunter, Emery already detested people like Holden, that went around flirting withgirls. So, now that he triggered her, I had to interject immediately, “Things are getting out of hand, youtwo. Can we talk about something else in front of the kids, for my sake?”

Before he gave a response, Holden plopped himself down on the sofa and placed one leg on thearmrest. “It’s a taboo for people like me that work in the grey area of the law to make enemies. And ontop of that, I love women. I only replied because she did not sound very polite. I’m a victim here, youknow?”

Emery sneered after hearing that and said, “If that’s the case, there would be no more criminals left inthe world.”

Even though things were not friendly between them, at least they stopped arguing and decided toignore each other completely.

After a while, Holden spoke once again. “Summer, if you really want to come back, I have quite a fewgreat connections. Maybe you can think about it.”

At present, Emery just calmed herself down, but what Holden said immediately triggered her again. “Iknew something was off! So, you just wanted her for yourself! There’s an order for everything, Mr.Taylor. Don’t you dare think I, Emery Moore, am like those cheap girls you meet that gets pushedaround!”

“I’ve said nothing of the sort.” Holden shrugged nonchalantly. “I had that idea ever since Scarlett cameback and told me about the incident with flowers. You only got the chance because I overslept. I’m notsure you’d win if we really talked about the order.”

“You…” Emery was at a loss for words because of how mad she was. An eloquent person like her wasno match for someone as thick-skinned as Holden. All she ended up doing was gritting her teeth andcalling him a shameless bastard.

Holden smirked, unbothered.

“What are you guys talking about?” Ashton came back and asked while handing his coat to the maid.

“You better take good care of your kids. There’s already a devious man plotting to use them,” Emerysaid sarcastically.

Hearing what she said, Holden sat up straight and wanted to refute Emery’s claim. But before he coulddo that, Ashton approached and asked as though he heard a funny joke, “Oh? Who has that muchguts?”
