When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 901

Linda frowned at Rachel’s words. She didn’t know anything about the underground warehouse.Wanting to defend the Murphy Corporation, Linda opened her mouth, but she couldn’t think of anythingto say because she witnessed all these before her eyes.

On the other hand, I remained silent before saying, “These are all larger-sized equipment. Are thosethat launched overseas smaller ones?”

Rachel rolled her eyes and pursed her lips while speaking in a disdainful manner. “Well, duh!”

Even so, I thought little about it and turned to Ashton. “What should we do now?”

The man scanned the items in the underground warehouse and made a decision. “Contact thereporters and lawyers. We’ll have to file a lawsuit against the Murphy Corporation.” Giving a cold look,he was emotionless when he said that.

Upon hearing his words, Linda started panicking. She stopped Ashton and tried to reason with him.“Mr. Fuller, aren’t you burning the bridge? Mr. Murphy is still locked up in Moranta. Shouldn’t you atleast give him a chance to explain? This is way too sudden, and I believe Mr. Murphy doesn’t knowabout this. The architects and engineers were in charge of the construction, while he never took part.Maybe he was in the dark all along.”

I pursed my lips. If I didn’t go through the life-and-death situation in Moranta, I wouldn’t even know thatArmond was a two-faced person or suspect that he was behind this. However, now that I knew whatkind of person he was, I believed he had planned this for a long time.

At that moment, I was wondering if he was also behind my participation in the Fuller Corporation’sbidding. It would make sense if he had probably planned everything from the start. After all, the MurphyCorporation had been dominating the AI technology field, and it wasn’t a desirable outcome for them ifFuller Corporation’s AI technology rose to fame.

The man wanted to use this chance to gain benefit from the Fuller Corporation’s downfall. He wasplaying the long game.

Recalling the time I almost got into trouble in A City, my trust toward Armond was broken. To delaytime, he even laid his hands on me and set Nora up. This man was way more scheming than wethought.

I said, “Linda, let’s leave that to the police, okay?” Everything that happened after I met Armondsurfaced in my mind, and instantly, I felt the temperature dropped a few degrees.

The woman looked at me and stayed silent for a while. “Let me call old Mr. Murphy. This matterinvolves the entire Murphy family, so I have to inform him about this. I’m sorry, Scarlett, but theMurphys mean a lot to me.”

I nodded. “Alright. Go ahead.”

At the same time, the Murphys were in a frenzy at the moment. Hence, when Robert picked up the call,he directly asked Linda to handle the situation on-site. “I’ll leave it to you. Just try to minimize MurphyCorporation’s loss.”

Upon hearing his commands, Linda was stunned. Then, she nodded and said, “Okay.”

After hanging up, Linda looked miserable. She then glanced at me with a troubled expression.“Scarlett, tell me. What happened to the Murphys?”

I figured she didn’t know about the incident in Moranta. It was a lot, so I collected my thoughts beforetelling her. “The gas released from the chemical factory under the Murphy family in Moranta wascarcinogenic, and Armond was involved in a murder case. That was why he couldn’t return to A City totake care of these matters. Furthermore, the police officers were now investigating the Murphys’property, so old Mr. Murphy had his hands full with that, and he could only leave this to you.”

Linda was rather intelligent, so she knew someone was behind this. “Is the Fuller Corporation involvedwith the incident in Moranta?”

I didn’t intend to hide it. “The Murphy family wanted the import and export trading rights, but the Taylorfamily had passed the rights to Ashton. Armond then kidnapped Ashton and forced him to give it up.However, he failed, and the police officers are running an investigation on him.”

Upon hearing my words, Linda’s face was as pale as a sheet. Knitting her brows, she was at a loss forwords.

Rachel glanced at Ashton with concern and turned to Linda. “It seems the Murphy Corporation doesn’thave boundaries as long as it makes them money.”

Hearing that, Linda stayed silent. After a long while, she looked at Ashton and said, “Mr. Fuller, I know Ican’t hinder your decision, but I’ll do my best to protect Murphy Corporation’s project in A City.”

Ashton glanced at her before turning to Rachel. “Contact the reporters and lawyers.”

With that, he led me out of the base, and we walked all the way to his car.

In the car, I kept quiet for a long time. However, I failed to suppress my curiosity and blurted out,“Ashton, did you know there was an underground warehouse before?”

Although Rachel said that the back wall was damaged by accident because of the malfunction of themachines. However, Armond had made the area behind the base off-limits to anyone else. No onewould drive the excavator to the back unless someone actually planned to enter from the back.

The man continued driving and kept his eyes on the road as he smiled. “I knew it ever since you toldme there was something wrong with the structure.”

I pursed my lips. “Then why did you only expose it now?”

Upon that, he glanced sideways at me and explained, “If I expose him back then, he’ll only change hisplans to oppose me. I needed time to replace his flaws, so I went along with it. With this, I’ll know what hewas going for.”
