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,
Chapter 146Winter made people lazy. Scarlett hadn't exercised for nearly ten days.Just after she returned to the villa, the custom-made dress bought by Alexis was sent over.Scarlett tried it on, finding that it was a little tight.She thought she might have gained weight. After all, she was lazy like an old cat these days and didn't want to move.The annual meeting was only a few days away. After thinking for a moment, Scarlett decided to ask Alexis to alter the dress.She took a picture and sent it to Alexis. Alexis was probably busy. She didn't reply to Scarlett's message until eight o'clock in the evening.Alexis was always talkative. Scarlett quickly browsed through her messages. Alexis said that the dress would be taken back tomorrow and someone would change the size of it.Scarlett blushed, wondering why she got fat. She thought she had done nothing.She waited several days and received the dress altered the day before the annual meeting.It became a little bigger. T
Chapter 147Raymond saw Scarlett as soon as he entered the venue. He couldn't ignore her.Many celebrities came today, which were all well dressed. Scarlett stood among the crowd, not inferior to anyone else.She wore a blue dress just like an ice queen.Scarlett indifferently glanced at Raymond. Alexis sent the invitations but couldn't decide who would get them.Though a little surprised to see Raymond here, she looked calm."What is he doing here?"Alexis' mouth twitched as she looked at Raymond with displeasure.Scarlett's eyebrows moved slightly. "He's our guest anyway.""I didn't invite him!"Alexis said, "Pooh! Libby is shameless, isn't she?"Scarlett laughed. "Who knows?"As they talked, a director came over to greet Scarlett, who raised her glass of red wine. Her response was neither warm nor cold.Alexis perceptively took the director away. Scarlett replaced the red wine with grape juice.As she turned around, she heard Libby call her, "Ms. Reed."Scarlett glanc
Chapter 148Yet that night she was watching Scarlett, and the surveillance cameras worked well. Scarlett didn't change the vase. It was indeed a fake.Real or fake, the Jones family didn't care much about a three-million-dollar vase.The most important thing was that Libby made a bet with Scarlett that day. Libby didn't forget it, and she believed that neither did Scarlett.Libby made the bet earnestly. Now the results were out, but she was unwilling to apologize in a live video.She couldn't afford to lose face and didn't want to!Thus, Libby could only come to Scarlett in private to apologize.Losing face in front of Scarlett was better than in front of millions of people.Libby grabbed her skirt. "Yes. I'm here to apologize to you. I'm sorry!"Hearing what she said, Scarlett couldn't help chuckling. She glanced at Libby's eyes. "The way you apologize is quite special!""Don't..."Libby was annoyed but she couldn't blow up. She wanted to curse Scarlett but didn't dare to.
Chapter 149"Did she bully you, Scarlett?"Mark asked as soon as Scarlett walked up to him.Scarlett glanced at him. "Do I look like a person to be bullied?"Mark raised an eyebrow. "Although you don't, I'm worried."Scarlett took a sip of grape juice. "Stop talking to me like this."She finished the juice and looked at Ryan. "Is the life of a star the same as you imagined?"Ryan had been training for more than three months. Rylie asked Mark and Juan to take him to show up recently.This young man wore a suit, looking even more childish. Scarlett just glanced at him, but his face turned red. "Almost the same.""Do you regret it?"Ryan shook his head. "No."Scarlett tutted. "It seems you have thought it through.""Do you think I'm just fooling around?"Scarlett was stumped. "No.""Is it because I don't look like someone who can endure hardship?"She smiled but didn't say anything. As Erika's only son, he was born with a silver spoon. It was normal that he couldn't endure
