Female Novel
Chapter 1198
Stunned, Cameron knitted her brows and gave Ashton a reproachful look. “How can you get Letty
involved when she’s now pregnant?”
Zachary patted her on the hand and consoled her, “Come on, forget it. Let’s think about how to solve it
first.”
Then, he turned to look at us and said earnestly, “The Ziegler family and Ezra want to have dinner with
us tomorrow.”
At this, Cameron was apprehensive and criticized Ashton, “What you did today was too impulsive. How
can you break the arms of the spoilt rich brat of the Ziegler family? He means everything to Mr. Ziegler.
It’s no wonder they want to have dinner with us to set us up!”
“Hah.” John mocked obstinately, “That was just a light punishment. If I know that he’s targeting Letty
again, I’ll snip his junk so that the Ziegler family won’t have an heir!”
“What…” Cameron did not know about my abduction, so she asked Ashton, looking concerned, “Did
Mitchell bully Letty?”
“Yeah.” Ashton nodded. “He abducted her and even wanted to do those things to her. I can’t help it and
maimed his arms.”
“Serves him right!” The look on Cameron’s face instantly changed as she commented angrily, “I thought
that Ashton was blinded by his hatred and acted impulsively seeing how angry the Ziegler family was. It
turns out that it was that b*stard who started it. Tsk. They can’t beat us in business, but they’re so good
at hurling false accusations!”
Enraged, she got up to sit next to me and squeezed my hand, frowning. “Letty, that b*stard didn’t injure
you, did he?
“No, he didn’t.” Shaking my head, I forced a smile to tell her that she did not need to worry.
Although Cameron was overprotective, it was not really a shortcoming too. If what happened previously
had not happened, she would have always been a good mother.
As men tend to be more rational than women were, Zachary was not too shocked and suggested,
“Ezra is very powerful. Even the businessmen in K City are at his mercy. We can’t turn down their
invitation to the dinner tomorrow, so let’s come up with a way to deal with it.”
“No way! We’re not going!” John suddenly turned into an idealist that valued family ties as he added
with a look of disdain, “Uncle Louis and Ezra aren’t the same kinds of people. Letty is a member of thenovelbin
Stovall family, so we don’t need to butter up to him. I don’t think he has the nerve to barge into the
Stovall residence to grab her!”
“Young people like you are too impulsive.” Zachary sighed. “When we help Ashton in his business in K
City, we and the Ziegler family are merely business rivals, and there’s no right or wrong in the world of
business competition. But now, the outsiders only know that Ashton has injured the son of the Ziegler
family, and no one knows what the latter did to Letty. If we don’t attend the dinner, it’ll prove that we’re
guilty and dare not to face the Ziegler family. Ezra will then praise the Ziegler family and criticize Fuller
Corporation in front of the business community, which will impose constraints on the future
development of Fuller Corporation.”
What he said was true, but John was still not convinced and replied agitatedly, “What do you mean no
one knows? Fine. I’ll make sure every single soul knows what this a**hole has done!”
After that, he rose to his feet and added while straightening his clothes, “Wait for me here, Letty. I’ll get
justice for you.”
Immediately afterward, he strode outside in a huff, without bothering if I was staying with the Fullers or
returning to the Stovall residence.
Worried, I hurriedly texted Emma on WhatsApp, telling her to inform Louis, trying to prevent any more
problems.
After John left, they did not manage to come to a conclusion whether to attend the dinner. As it was
getting late, Zachary went home with Cameron.
Ashton helped me upstairs. When we were in the bedroom, he helped me wash up and get changed.
He remained silent the entire time, but he did not show any sign of impatience. After he took off his suit
jacket, he looked like he had lost some weight.
“Why didn’t you eat well when I was not around?” My voice was breaking as it spoke of distress.
