Chapter 70After taking an aromatic bath at night, Scarlett had a good sleep.The next day, Scarlett received a call from Katherine. She said, "The chairman of Centel wants to see you."Scarlett had just woken up. Hearing Katherine's words, she froze for several seconds before saying, "Ethen wants to see me?"Katherine said, "Yes, Miss Reed. Centel has been short of funds since last year. Maybe Ethen wants to talk about the acquisition with you or sell his shares to you."Scarlett pursed her lips and said, "Help me arrange it."She paused for a moment and continued, "But I don't want to meet him as Suny."If Ethen knew that she was Suny, Raymond and Alexander would also know about it.She didn't want to get into trouble."I got it. Miss Reed.""Okay."Hanging up the phone, Scarlett got out of bed and made a cup of coffee.At eleven o'clock, Katherine called her, "I have arranged for you to meet Ethen tomorrow at noon."Scarlett had nothing to do today, so she went to the b
Chapter 71Looking at the elevator that slowly closed, Stephen took out his cell phone and called Raymond.Raymond, who had just finished a meeting, saw the caller ID and frowned slightly. "What is it?"He had been ridiculed by Alexander and Stephen recently because he divorced Scarlett. To be honest, he didn't want to receive a call from either of them at all.That was because it was unlikely to be good.However, to his surprise, Stephen asked him, "Ray, do you know what your ex-wife really does?"Raymond was stunned. What did Scarlett do?She didn't seem to have a job, but she graduated from a renowned college and majored in finance. However, she seemed to have spent most of her time in the Shaw Residence throughout their three-year marriage."She doesn't have a job.""Are you sure?"Stephen asked back, but he then hung up.Raymond looked at his phone and couldn't help but frown.If he had not divorced Scarlett, he was sure that she did not have a job.Now, however, he w
Chapter 72At the time, Gale had apparently seen Scarlett, and he walked up to her car with the flowers, blocking her path. Scarlett raised her eyebrows. She lowered her window and asked, "Mr. Conway, Is there anything I can do for you?" "I was being rude yesterday. Today I came specifically to apologize to you." Whoops! She'd never seen anyone bring red roses to apologize before, and the man had come to her house. Scarlett smiled, "I don't feel offended. If you want nothing else, please step aside. I'm driving into the garage." The gate was already open and Scarlett's car stopped right in front of it. She was about to drive in, but Gale was in the way. Gale raised his hand and looked at his watch. "It's still early. Would you like to have a drink with me?" Scarlett recognized the watch. It was a classic mechanical watch from CV, worth over two million dollars, almost the price of her car. His move looked ridiculous in Scarlett’s eyes like a kid showin
Chapter 73Scarlett looked down at the rose bouquet in her hand and frowned. Because there was no dustbin, she had to put them in her arms."What do you want?"She looked at Raymond before her and raised her eyebrows.Raymond took a glance at the roses but only found them unpleasant. He looked up and just saw the coldness and alienation in her beautiful eyes.Raymond moved his Adam's apple and looked at her with an expression colder than hers. He replied, "Just one thing."Scarlett was kinda shocked by his answer. She opened the door of her car, put the rose bouquet on the front passenger seat, and closed the door. She asked, "What is it?""Shall we discuss it in your villa?"He said while moving to the side, signaling to her that he would follow her going inside.But Scarlett didn't move. She glanced over him and said, "I don't think it is necessary. We can discuss it right here."She paused and smiled, "Many people have been watching me recently. It is very likely that someone not fa
Chapter 74Inside the bar, Alexander raised his eyebrows and glanced at Julie, who was surrounded by several men not far away. He didn't intend to go forward to help her.Since even Raymond didn't help her, why should he do that?Julie was staring at Alexander. She deliberately greeted Alexander before these guys gathered around her, hoping that he could pull strings for her.Yesterday, Gale made it clear to her. She knew she couldn't count on him. Now she could only manage to get in with Raymond so that her company could get a loan.As she expected, Alexander called Raymond.Julie was slightly relieved, but soon after that, she saw Alexander hang up the phone, glance at her, and turn his eyes away from her.Julie's expression changed. She directly pushed the man in front of her away.Chap had stayed there for a long time, thinking that he could hook up with her. Being pushed by Julie, he was enraged.Seeing that she was leaving, Chap reached out and pulled her. "Where are you
Chapter 75 Scarlett woke up late. She had a good day yesterday. But when she came home after dinner, she ran into the insolent Gale, and she had a quarrel with Raymond, so her good mood was ruined. She stayed awake so late last night that she didn't hear the 6:00 a.m. alarm. It was after 7:00, almost 8:00. Scarlett took a glance at her phone, got out of bed, washed up, made herself a simple sandwich, and poured herself a glass of milk. She was eating her breakfast while scrolling through Twitter. There was nothing special, no news about her on Twitter. After drinking the milk, Scarlett got up and took her yoga mat out. Then she went downstairs to feed the goldfish. It was not particularly cold November in Juanton. It was close to nine o'clock. The sun was up. The wind was a little chilly, but not too cold.After feeding the fish, Scarlett went upstairs. She planned to do two hours of yoga. Suddenly, her cell phone rang.It was Zack.Scarlett raised her eyebrows.
Chapter 76"Mr. Woods arrived ten minutes ago." Scarlett smiled, "He's showed his sincerity." Katherine led her to walk to the private room. "Mr. Woods asked for three hundred million." "He's greedy to have asked for such a number!" Centel had been floated on the stock market five years ago, and today its market value was over two billion. But for five percent of the shares, Ethen asked for 300 million. It was unbelievable! Scarlett withdrew her smiles, put on a cold face, and followed Katherine to the private room. The two arrived at the door. Katherine pushed the door open. Immediately, Ethen stood up in the room, "Miss Suny!" However, when he saw that it was Scarlett, he changed his face. "How come it is you?" Scarlett chuckled, "Miss Suny is not available. I'm her new secretary." Then she paused and smiled faintly at Ethen, "Mr. Woods, it's nice to meet you! I don't think I need to introduce myself." The expression on Ethen's face was complic
Chapter 77Scarlett took a glance at Raymond, and she quickly withdrew her gaze. She passed Raymond and walked away. Raymond didn't sleep well last night. Scarlett's sarcasm still bothered him. He stood there and watched Scarlett walking away. The look on his face was awful. After a while, after seeing Scarlett enter the elevator, he withdrew his eyes and glanced inside the private room. At that moment, Ethen came out of the room. Seeing Raymond, Ethen was stunned. "Mr. Shaw?" Raymond nodded his head, showing no interest in talking to him. He headed straight to the private room. Ethen opened his mouth and was about to say something. But before he spoke, Raymond already walked away. Before Raymond entered the room, he stopped abruptly. He looked back at Frank who was following him, "What is Ethen doing contacting her?" Frank obviously knew exactly who Raymond was referring to as "her". But Frank really didn't know why Scarlett was having lunch wit
