Chapter 116He had pressed the doorbell several times, but no one answered. Obviously, Scarlett hadn’t come back.He didn't know why he came here. He seemed to be here to question her relationship with Antony and Mark. But after calming down and thinking for a while, he was her ex-husband and seemed to be in no position to question her.Before Scarlett spoke, Raymond actually wanted to ask her why she came back so late.He was very upset and depressed all night. And such emotions became stronger after he saw Scarlett.“Did you drink?”After asking her this question, he knew that it was a silly question.Scarlett obviously had no intention of responding to him. She took out her phone and typed the police number. "If you don't leave, I’ll call the police. There is a surveillance camera over my gate, and it is not the first time that you have come to my villa. You’re the president of Tenton. You don't want tomorrow’s news to be about how you harassed your ex-wife, do you?"Her wor
Back to the Villa, Scarlett felt utterly exhausted.She could not explain her weariness, perhaps she was overwhelmed by those frequent and annoying encounters with Raymond recently. “Hilla, get the bath ready for me.”Scarlett felt that her head still spun a little because of the alcohol, and she sat down trying to get sober for a while before she asked Hilla to put the water into the bath.When she was about to close her eyes for a nap, the screen of her phone lit up. She turned her head slightly and saw from the corner of her eyes that there was a message from Antony.Raising her eyebrow, Scarlett read the message and answered, “Just got back.”Antony’s next message came very quickly, “Want any midnight snacks?”To be honest, Scarlett barely ate anything tonight because she felt fed up by the public display of affection she saw.“I’m a bit tired.”She was not refusing anything, but was just telling the fact. It was up to Antony what to think of it.“How about a free home d
Chapter 118Scarlett raised her eyebrow in surprise, “Rarely did I hear a man say that.”“It’s just a matter of personal preference.”“Yeah, and it’s a good thing,” Scarlett smiled.Then for a while, they both just concentrated on the food and chatted little, for they were both a bit hungry. After finishing up the barbecue, Scarlett cleaned her mouth, took another sip of the coffee, and then asked Antony with a meaningful look in her eyes, “Let me guess. You are here not just to eat some midnight snacks with me, right?”Scarlett was always this sharp, and Antony could only smile with embarrassment and reply, “Well, I do have a favor to ask.”“I’m all ears.”Scarlett was unexpectedly straightforward, which made Antony feel it hard to find the right words, “Here is the thing. I went out to answer a phone call earlier tonight, remember?”Scarlett nodded, and let him continue.“It was from my mother’s bestie, my godmother. Though my family has lived abroad for many years, we kept
Chapter 119It had been a long time since the last time Scarlett had stayed up until nearly 2 o'clock in the morning, and it was 10:30 a.m. that she woke up to find that it was full daylight outside.The curtains slid back automatically. The sky was rather cloudy.She felt somewhat groggy. It seemed that staying up late was really not a smart thing to do.Scarlett picked up her cellphone and found that Alexis had sent her a big shiny red heart-shaped emoji something after eight o'clock earlier this morning.She gave an involuntary smile and sent Alexis an emoji in return.She thought, "Well, it seems I got up on the right side of the bed."At noon Scarlett had a simple lunch. She cooked herself some spaghetti at home. After the meal, she went out to watch a movie.Antony sent her a text message something after 4 p.m., telling her that he would come and pick her up in two hours.Scarlett swiveled her head aside and glanced out of the window at the leaden sky before she rose to
Chapter 120When Scarlett entered the villa, she saw a very expensive vase. She glanced at it and followed Antony upstairs.Seeing Alexander, Scarlett subconsciously frowned.Seeing Scarlett, Alexander was very shocked.At this time, Antony's godmother came down from the third floor and said, "Hello, Antony. Is this your girlfriend? She's so pretty."Seeing Scarlett, Breanna's expression obviously changed.But since she had been a rich lady for decades, the unhappiness on her face immediately disappeared. She walked up to them kindly and said to Antony, "Don't you want to introduce her to me?" This wasn't the first time for them to meet, but Breanna pretended that she didn't know Scarlett at all.She was very good at acting.Scarlett hooked up her lips and waited for Antony to say something.Antony thought that Breanna really liked Scarlett and hurriedly said, "This is my girlfriend Scarlett!"Then he said to Scarlett, "Scarlett, this is my godmother."Scarlett nodded poli
Chapter 121"Hey..."Alexander tried to warn Libby, but she ran away before he could finish his words.Glancing at her as she ran away, he hesitated and finally took out his cell phone to call Raymond.'I have no choice. He's my good friend.'However, his good friend didn't accept his kindness and declined his call again and again.Alexander thought Raymond wouldn't answer his phone, so he sent a WhatsApp message and headed out to the dinner table.People at the table were calm. Alexander had expected nothing to happen tonight, but he never thought he would be the trigger for a war.It happened when Alexander was just sitting down, and Breanna introduced him to Scarlett, "Scarlett, this is Alexander, my nephew."As Breanna finished talking, Libby, sitting next to her, said, "Mom, why do you say that? Can she not have known Alexander's relationship to Raymond?"Libby said that in a weird way. Scarlett sat there, and her face was unchanged, "Miss Jones is right. I have known Al
Chapter 122Scarlett and he were both guests today, but he was also half a host, so he didn't want Scarlett to feel slighted.When they sat down for a while, Tomas came back. He was so happy to see Antony that he invited Antony to the study to chat.Once Antony left, Libby couldn't hold back any longer.Breanna was very unhappy and pretended not to see it."Ms. Reed, you didn't visit my house last time you came, right? Let me show you around, OK?"Scarlett just faintly glanced at her, as if she knew her evil intentions, "Miss Jones is so enthusiastic, then I'll be respectful."She looked at Libby with a faint smile.Libby felt a little guilty. But when she thought of what happened at dinner just now, she didn't feel guilty anymore: "Let's go?"Scarlett responded and got up after her.Alexander hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Wait, I want to go too."Libby glared at Alexander: "Don't you have to go to the company?""No, I'm not going."Scarlett looked at Alexander
Chapter 123"Boom!"The vase instantly fell on the floor and broke into two pieces.Scarlett hit the cabinet where the vase was placed, causing a sharp pain in her waist.Alexander didn't expect Libby to be so bold. Tomas spent a lot of effort to get this vase. However, Libby dared to do so.As soon as the vase fell on the ground, Libby shrieked, "Oh gosh! What are you doing? You're just taking pictures. Can't you be more careful?"She made a preemptive strike. There were only three people here, and Alexander was her cousin, so she believed that he would help her rather than an outsider.Scarlett knew what Libby wanted to do when Libby asked her to take pictures here. Scarlett just saw that there was a surveillance camera in front of her. Due to the angle of the camera, it could only see her stumbling into the vase but couldn't see Libby pushing her from behind.Libby was screaming and cursing. Alexander could no longer stand it, so he pulled her.Libby glared at Alexander. "W
