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
Chapter 124Breanna looked at the vase that was broken into two pieces, feeling upset, "Whatever."Scarlett glanced at Alexander, walked out of the courtyard, and answered the phone, "Any news?""Yes, Ms. Reed, our vase is the genuine article. There is a pair. The original owner sold them to different people. One was sold to Mr. Vang and then purchased by us. The other one was sold to the previous chairman of the Rodosen Corporation. It's still owned by him. There have been no transaction records."Katherine said after a pause, "The original owner told Mr. Vang how to examine this pair of vases. The number of stamens of the second flower is the same as that of the flowers drawn on the vase. I had an expert examine the photo you just sent over. It's fake and at most worth thirty thousand dollars.""Okay, I see."Hanging up the phone, Scarlett raised an eyebrow and looked back into the room. Tomas and Antony were downstairs.From Tomas' expression, it was clear that he was very fo
Chapter 125Breanna was instantly shocked. "Alexander, did you see it clearly?"Libby's face was white. "Alexander! Are you out of your mind? I'm your sister! How can you help an outsider and set me up?"Tomas looked at Scarlett, who always looked calm. She met his gaze. "Mr. Jones, it's late. I won't continue to bother you. I'll have the money for the vase sent over later."Scarlett glanced sideways at Antony. "Can we go now?"Antony did a double-take and nodded. "Okay."He then looked at Tomas and Breanna, said goodbye, and left the villa with Scarlett.From the beginning to the end, Scarlett didn't seem to be anxious.Tomas stared at Scarlett's back and suddenly thought of something. "Alexander, Antony's girlfriend is Raymond's ex-wife, right?"Alexander was puzzled but nodded. "Yes."Tomas frowned. "This woman is not simple."Alexander agreed with him.In Scarlett's eyes, Libby was just like a clown, who couldn't provoke Scarlett at all. Libby was so stupid.Tomas' fac
Chapter 126Alexander suddenly felt that Raymond was so annoying, but he himself was even more annoying. "Alright, I'll be damned if I talk about Scarlett to you again!"For the first time, Alexander was so furious that he hung up the phone. Raymond was just pretending. If he didn't care about Scarlett, why did he call him last night and tell him to send Antony away?Raymond looked at the darkening phone screen, his eyes gloomy.It has nothing to do with him.The car slowly stopped in front of Scarlett's villa. Antony inclined his head to look at her. "Scarlett, I'm sorry. I didn't know they would do that to you."Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "Maybe I'm the one who should say sorry. Your godmother must be in a bad mood tonight."Hearing her speak teasingly, Antony sighed in relief. "Perhaps. But that's something my godfather needs to worry about."Scarlett picked up her bag. "Well, Libby won't have a pleasant night either."Antony smiled. "Adults always have to pay for their mi
