Chapter 189Just as Scarlett rang the doorbell, the door was opened. Alexis pushed the door aside and walked up to give Scarlett a big hug.Scarlett stood in the doorway and looked down at Alexis with a smile, asking, "Are you celebrating Children's day instead of Hometown Day? Silly girl."Alexis snorted. "You are so heartless and cold!"Scarlett raised her eyebrows and handed the bag she was carrying to Alexis.Alexis, who complained about Scarlett just now, took the bag and spun around with excitement. "Oh my God, Burberry limited Cube Bag! I love you, Lettie! I love this gift! I'll give you a kiss."Scarlett raised her hand to shield her face. "Just save it for Justin."When hearing Justin's name, Alexis, who was crazy about the bag, finally calmed down a little bit. "What do you want to drink? Fruit juice or soy milk? The latter was freshly ground! It smells good and tastes delicious!"Scarlett sat down on the sofa. She then looked up at Alexis with a faint smile, but she
Chapter 190Scarlett was moved by the lovey-dovey couple. She drank two glasses of red wine.The three of them talked until eleven o'clock. Seeing Scarlett yawning, Alexis stopped talking to ask, "Do you want to sleep over here tonight?""No. I will be sleepless at your home.""Fine. We'll walk you downstairs.""No, you don't have to. You'd better wash up and go to bed now. Tomorrow is your last day of vacation. Have fun."Alexis signed. She had to start shooting a TV drama the day after tomorrow.Scarlett glanced at Justin. "Let's go."Justin and Alexis walked her to the elevator. It was deep at night, and there was no sign of anybody.Scarlett drank tonight, so she couldn't drive anymore.She took out her phone to call an Uber, but no one took her order.After all, it was a small city, and it was Hometown Day. Therefore, no Uber drivers were willing to make money tonight. Scarlett put away her phone and intended to walk to the nearby square to see if she could hail a tax
Chapter 191Raymond heard a sound from behind. He froze for a moment and turned around. To his surprise, Scarlett did not leave. Instead, she threw her bag to the bus stop sign and then flexed her hands."Scarlett?"The five men stepped closer. Raymond shielded Scarlett and took another step back, frowning in disbelief.Scarlett gave him a look. "Don't worry. I am just warming up. I haven't practiced wrestling for a long time."Just as she finished her words, those men swung their bats at them. Raymond said nervously, "Watch out!"He wanted to pull Scarlett away, but he found that Scarlett lifted her leg and kicked a man to the ground.When Raymond was stunned, he heard the whistle of a bat. He reacted quickly and tilted his head to avoid the attack of the man in front of him. He grabbed the bat with the other hand and pulled it hard. The man was off balance and fell to his side. Raymond raised his leg immediately and kicked the man on the ground.There were five men in total.
Chapter 192Hearing this, Raymond, who was also tall, frowned, "I'm 1.93 meters tall."It worked.Scarlett stunned and praised curtly, "Wow, how tall you've grown!"Then she walked to the roadside with the baseball bat and waited for the taxi.Raymond was displeased at her insincere praise and followed her, "Where are you going?"Scarlett turned to look at him, "Listen, I'm not in the mood, Raymond. Don't make me lose my temper with you."She had no idea if she would do something crazy if he kept bothering her.Raymond knew why Scarlett was in a bad mood. Scarlett's former neighbor poured out everything after accepting the money.The day of Scarlett's parents' accident was the second day of the Hometown Day. They went to visit Scarlett's grandma. On their way back, to avoid an old man running a red light, they were crushed by a truck and killed on the spot.Actually, Scarlett suffered a lot while she was fostered at her grandma's home because her grandma preferred boys to girl
Chapter 193It was hard to hail a taxi on holidays. Scarlett couldn't get a taxi after waiting for 5 minutes.Raymond looked at the baseball bat in her hand and asked her, "Are you going to the Hudson family?"Hearing that, Scarlett turned to look at him, "Ah-huh?"The people of the Hudson family had chosen the day when Scarlett was in a bad temper to provoke her.Since they dared to treat Scarlett like this, she would not be polite to them. Also, she wouldn't let them enjoy this holiday.Normally, Scarlett would have endured and plotted her vengeance when she faced this sort of thing.At that time, however, all she wanted was revenge at once, and no one could stop her.Before the divorce, Raymond thought Scarlett was a scheming, snobby, and greedy woman. But after they got divorced, he thought she was an authoritative and decisive woman.Scarlett could be multifaceted, such as gentle, quiet, aggressive, wayward, and cute, all of which he had seen.Before that night, Raymond l
Chapter 194It was just 12. The Hudson family's villa was lively, and everyone was playing poker.When they heard the doorbell, Jadon's second daughter said it must have been a drunk who rang the doorbell by mistake.But Jadon's third daughter said, "It might be that guy from Lancelot's family. He has feelings for our little sister. He's trying to win her heart!"Men and women were not in the same card room.Jadon had three sons and three daughters. Among them, two sons and two daughters already had their own families. Therefore, the Hudson family was naturally very lively during the festival.Women were gossiping, and men didn't take the doorbell seriously. The butler went to the gate immediately when he heard the doorbell.It was bitterly cold, so Scarlett reached up to tighten the scarf. Looking at the man who came out of the darkness, she raised her eyebrows slightly.The butler soon went to the gate and asked gently, "Your surname, please.""Shaw.""Reed."Scarlett said
Chapter 195Scarlett paused and looked at Jadon with a smile, "Ha! I'm coming to thank you for your gorgeous gift, Mr. Hudson. That's the best present I've ever received! Of course, I have to give you a present in return.""I suppose you should have a lot of antiques in your study, right?"After a short pause, she chuckled, "I'll get rid of them all for you today. I don't think these items were good enough for you."At the same time, the rest of the Hudson family who had been in the card rooms also came out. Seeing the debris on the floor, Hudson's third daughter squawked, "Gosh! What happened? That's dad's favorite vase!"Hearing that, Scarlett glanced at that girl, and her smile broadened, "Seriously? It seems that I have a good eye."After that, she went upstairs with that bat.Hudson was a local despot in his early years. Later, he tried to whitewash what he had done. But he was just a cowardly bully all these years.At first, he thought Scarlett was a pushover. But he didn'
Chapter 196Jadon asked someone to make trouble for her. Did he pick a good day?Scarlett let out a laugh. "It's good to call the police. Then let the police handle this matter."Since she dared to come here, she knew the consequences.She would only lose some money, but Jadon was different. Scarlett had a lot of evidence to put Jadon behind bars.Jadon, who had calmed down, came forward. "Ms. Reed, I don't understand what you mean. I think there must be some misunderstanding between us!""Make tea for Ms. Reed and Mr. Shaw."Jadon walked towards Raymond with a smile. "Mr. Shaw, I think there must be some misunderstanding between me and Ms. Reed! I won't blame anyone for what happened tonight. We can sit down and clear the air.""Dad! How could there be any misunderstanding! She ruined our house! Look at your pipe and your vase!"Jadon glared at his youngest daughter and turned to look at Scarlett. "Ms. Reed, what do you think?"Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "There's no misunde
