Chapter 138"Why?"Scarlett raised her eyebrows and said softly, "Raymond, you should ask yourself instead of me. I remember I seemed to have asked you this question back then as well."When she had just married him, he moved out of the Shaw Residence and lived in his own apartment. At that time, she had asked him that question just like he did.Why?What did he say to her?He said, "Scarlett, are you worthy?"Tsk. She still remembered it after all these years.Scarlett got rid of his hand, "Raymond, are you worthy?"After saying that, she turned around and left.This time, Raymond didn't pull her back.Scarlett wore a pair of long boots. The five-centimeter heels rattled on the ground. Her long hair fell over her shoulders.After many years she could finally retort him with the same words. She felt so good!Raymond stood there, and his face was dark and stern like a dark cloud in the sky.Frank looked at him and thought that his boss was horrible and a bit pitiful.'Sur
Chapter 139After being knocked out by Raymond for the seventh time in the boxing gym, Alexander couldn’t take it anymore, so he was lying on the blanket and unwilling to move.Raymond practiced with Alexander for a while and he finally felt much better than he was in the afternoon.He did not want to stay in the boxing gym any longer.Glancing at Alexander, he got out of the boxing ring and was about to take a shower.Alexander looked at Raymond's back, stunned for a moment, and said, "Hey! Are you leaving?"Alexander didn’t get Raymond’s answer and only looked at his cold back.Alexander swore and then did a kip-up to stand up. After walking out of the boxing ring, he picked up a towel and a bottle of water and then walked towards the shower room while drinking the water.Alexander was afraid that Raymond would not wait for him, so he took a quick shower.As he expected, when he came out, Raymond had already put on his jacket and watch. If he had come out a second later, Raymond
Chapter 140"Come on. Don't deny it immediately! Look. Because you didn't like her, every time we held the gathering, she was the one being made fun of. Actually, Libby and your younger sister have bullied her a lot, not for her humble parentage but for your negligence and indifference. That's why the people around us view her as a joke.""We often think she sly and mammonish. Though we didn't hit or directly abuse her, we looked down on her every time. Try to think back to the days when you moved out after getting married, she, as your wife, totally had the right to ask you to live together with her, but what you replied was "Do you deserve it?" You feel terrible even when you hear the words right now, but do you know how terrible Scarlett felt at that time?"Previously, Alexander had said these out of fun, but now he took it seriously, "Raymond, we have to admit that we have a prejudice against her. Both of us owe Scarlett an apology, but of course, you are the one who should apologi
Chapter 141Scarlett had just come out of the shower when she saw the champagne roses inside the vase.Two days passed, but the roses were still very nice.If she hadn't met Raymond at noon today, she wouldn't have known that the flowers were from him. In that case, Scarlett could smile and enjoy them for a while.But she knew about it. Now seeing the roses, she felt a little sick.She wanted to throw them away. However, since she had stayed with them for two days, she would think that it was a waste to do that.But if she didn't throw them away, she would feel uncomfortable every time she saw them.'Forget it. When the maid comes to clean up tomorrow, I will let her throw them away.'Scarlett looked away and didn't want to think about it anymore.Time passed quickly. It would be Easter half a month later.Next Wednesday was the annual meeting. Scarlett wouldn't attend it in the previous years, but this year she had to do that.After all, others thought that she was free aft
Chapter 142Tomas stopped teasing him. "Now, tell me what you want to see me about."Since Alexander knew that the vase was fake, he was hesitating all night about whether to tell Tomas and the others about it.Alexander knew how much Tomas liked the vase. If Tomas knew it was fake, he wouldn't let things go.However, if the vase were genuine, Tomas and Breanna would be dissatisfied with Scarlett. Besides, Breanna originally had a prejudice against Scarlett.If it had nothing to do with Scarlett, Alexander wouldn't be so anxious.Since Raymond had asked him to apologize to Scarlett last night, Alexander couldn't let Libby bully her anyway.Alexander weighed up the pros and cons. Finally, he had a crisis of conscience and drove over early in the morning.Hearing Tomas' words, Alexander came to the point. "The vase that Scarlett accidentally broke is a fake."Immediately, Tomas' face turned cold. "I know you and Raymond are good friends, and I know Scarlett is his ex-wife, but y
Chapter 143Tomas left in anger. Libby was shocked and could only tug at Breanna’s sleeve. "Mom, is the vase a fake?"Breanna was not convinced. "Don't scare yourself! Do you think your father is a fool? Don't you know how many people your father went to before buying this vase?""Yeah, but Alexander..."Breanna was angry at the mention of Alexander. "He's not an appraiser. How can we believe him?"Libby breathed a sigh of relief. "So is Dad looking for someone to re-examine the vase?""Just to reassure himself! Don't worry about the authenticity of the vase. Tell Mom, did you bet with Scarlett?"Breanna didn't agree with her husband's opinion on the bet.She didn't like Scarlett. After the incident on the day Antony brought Scarlett over, Breanna disliked Scarlett even more than before. Moreover, Scarlett had someone bring 30,000 dollars to humiliate them!Libby's bet with Scarlett made Breanna feel relieved.Libby knew that Breanna was on her side, so she told Breanna about
Chapter 144After replying, Scarlett put Alexander's number on the blacklist."Ms. Reed, the results have come out."As soon as Scarlett put the phone away, Katherine, who had just hung up the phone, said so.Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "Yeah?""The vase is indeed a fake. The results should be sent to Tomas this afternoon."Hearing this, Scarlett couldn't help smiling. "Oh, I hope he doesn't have heart disease or high blood pressure."Otherwise, he might be angry to death.This was a bit like cursing, but Katherine couldn't fight back her laughter. "Libby should be able to know this news soon."Scarlett inclined her head and looked at Katherine with a smile. "I found that you're also very naughty sometimes."Katherine's heart thumped as she saw Scarlett's charming eyes. Since she had been a secretary for so many years, she managed to keep calm. "Occasionally."Scarlett curved her lips. "That's good."Katherine stared at Scarlett who was smiling, feeling that her heart was a
Chapter 145Scarlett received a call from Alexis.She didn't want to talk to Terrence anymore, so she hung up."What are you busy with?"Just after answering the phone, Scarlett heard Alexis complaining.Scarlett laughed. "I was answering the phone just now.""Who called you?"Scarlett took a sip of warm water. "Tomas' secretary."Alexis was speechless.She knew about the incident of the vase. Tomas' secretary contacted Scarlett. Alexis couldn't help guessing, "They have appraised the vase?""Yeah, they did that this morning.""Tsk tsk! They must feel ashamed, right?"Scarlett curved her lips but didn't answer. "What do you want to see me about?""Oh, I almost forgot! I bought a dress for you. Remember to try it on. If it doesn't fit, tell me!"Scarlett said resignedly, "It's just an annual meeting.""I don't agree! You're our big boss, the representative of Crain Vision! Can't you make yourself look better? Besides, a lot of people will come. When you run into a rival,
