Chapter 217Scarlett was almost done eating. She took one last sip of her wine. "I'm done, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Smith, I'll leave first." Then she lifted her hand and was about to ask the waiter for the bill. At that moment, Raymond reached out and clasped her wrist, "Wait." Scarlett looked at her wrist being clasped in his hand, and she raised her eyebrows, and the smile on her face faded. "Mr. Shaw?" Raymond let go of her hand. He gestured with his chin toward Alexander. "The meal is on him." Alexander was eating his udon noodles. When he heard Raymond's words, he looked up at Raymond. He almost spat out "What’s the f*ck!", but he was choked by Raymond's stern eyes.He couldn't fight Raymond. Scarlett glanced at Raymond, and then her eyes fell on Alexander. "Well, thank you, Mr. Smith." Since someone volunteered to pay the bill, she was glad to grand him the honor. "My pleasure." Alexander smiled. The corners of his mouth twitched when he met Raymond's eyes.
Chapter 218Scarlett didn't look at Raymond, "No." "I remember! Scarlett, I had saved you." The traffic light turned red. The car slowed to a stop. Scarlett tilted her head to look at him, "So Mr. Shaw, you want me to return the favor now?" "Now I know why you loved me." Most women would admire powerful men. And mostly, such admiration would develop into adoration. A handsome guy saving a pretty girl was a cliché. Teenage girls were naive and full of fantasies of romance. Scarlett stiffened. Raymond's words revealed her last secret. All she felt was embarrassment. She wanted to be as nonchalant as ever, but she couldn't be. Usually, when people see her, she looked calm, strong, and composed. However, she also had a soft and vulnerable part in her heart. There were things she cared about, like Raymond, like the very past event that she had been hiding from him. Her grip on the steering wheel tightened, and blue veins showed on the back of he
Chapter 219Scarlett watched Raymond getting smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror of her car, tension draining from her face gradually.Since he liked to trouble her by asking her to send him, she satisfied his demand.The suburb was fifteen kilometers from downtown, and Raymond's cell phone was taken away by her. It took her twenty minutes to take him here. Therefore, if he wanted to go back from the suburbs tonight, he had to walk for three or four hours.After returning downtown, Scarlett went straight to the police station with Raymond's cell phone.At 8 pm, the police officer on duty was stunned when he saw Scarlett. "Miss, are you coming to report a crime?"Scarlett smiled and took out Raymond's cell phone. "No. I found a cell phone on a road."The policeman took a look at the phone Scarlett was holding. It was not a common cell phone model, and it looked expensive."Oh, I see. Please keep a record."Scarlett raised her eyebrows and followed the policeman to keep a
Chapter 220Alexander could not laugh anymore. "No, I'm a little sleepy. Let's hurry back! I won't laugh at you!"Ten minutes later…"Ha-ha. Sorry, I still can't help laughing. You can hit me if you are angry!"Raymond was speechless.To be honest, he regretted asking Alexander to come and pick him up.Why did he not ask Stephen for help?He should not have called Alexander, the mean guy!"Wow! Scarlett is so amazing! I cannot believe she did such a cool thing! I am her big fan!""Stop the car."Alexander, who was still reveling in the joy of ridiculing Raymond, stopped the car in confusion. "What's wrong?""I'll drive."Alexander looked to Raymond. Seeing Raymond's angry face, Alexander stopped laughing and said, "Come on, bro!""Sit over there."Raymond got out and went straight to the driver's seat. Alexander had to move to the passenger seat.Fifteen minutes later, the car pulled up in front of a boxing gym.Alexander looked at the familiar signboard and was lost fo
Chapter 221Scarlet was reading several novels which would be turned into TV series when some people were making trouble downstairs. She planned to invest in web series this year. She just read the outline of the novels and prepared to skim through the detailed plot. At this moment, the phone started to ring. Scarlet raised her head to look at it and then picked up the receiver. "What's up?""Miss Reed, this is Reilly. There is an old woman downstairs wanting to see you. She says she is your grandma."'Grandma?'Scarlet almost forgot this title. Actually, she had families in this world. However, they didn't deserve to be her family. Ten years ago, they had lost contact with her. Now, they appeared again. Scarlet raised her eyebrows and said, "Stop her."Reilly got what Scarlet meant. "I see, Miss Reed."Hanging up, Reilly looked at the old woman and another middle-aged man and said, "Madam, you mistake Miss Reed. She doesn't have relatives."Kyleigh said, "What do you me
Chapter 222Scarlett finished most of the novel by noon. While feeling like her eyes were tired, she happened to see Reilly walk in with her lunch. She looked up at Reilly and said, "Ms. Cobb, how is it going, the thing we talked about this morning?"Ms. Cobb told the security guard to drive them away as Scarlett had requested. "I have told the security guard to pay attention, not allowing them to show up in the company," replied she.Scarlett smiled, "You cannot stop them if they insist on coming."More than 20 years had passed, but Scarlett still remembered clearly how unreasonable and overbearing Kyleigh was.Since she hadn't seen them for more than 20 years, their sudden arrival must for getting something.Thinking over, she grabbed her phone and called Katherine.Katherine had expected it would be something related to Nylah. Since Nylah had lost her patron, Scarlett didn't have to fix Nylah by herself because Nylah was going to suffer a lot from the people she used to offend.Kat
Chapter 223Scarlett had just opened the second novel when the phone beside her suddenly rang.She glanced at the screen and found that it was a call from the police station.Scarlett raised her eyebrows slightly and answered the phone, "Hello, this is Scarlett.""Hello, Ms. Reed. This is the police station in Wakiza District. Do you remember you found a cell phone and handed it over to us last night?""Hmm."She responded casually, waiting for her police to continue."Well, the thing is, the owner of the phone is now here to claim the phone. He said the phone is valuable and there is a lot of important information in it. The owner wants to thank you in person. Ms. Reed, is it convenient for you to come to the police station now?"Scarlett smiled and replied, "Sorry, I am busy now. No need to thank me."After saying that, Scarlett hung up the phone.Meanwhile, in the police station..."Mr. Shaw, Ms. Reed cannot come over now. She said no need to thank her. Raymond glanced do
Chapter 224Being looked at by Scarlett, Reilly was ashamed. If she could solve this matter, she wouldn't have hurried up to see if Scarlett was off work yet."Ms. Reed, I'm sorry."Scarlett smiled. "Why?""I didn't handle this matter well...""Then look how I handle it."Scarlett curved her lips and said unhurriedly. She didn't blame Reilly.Reilly was stunned and suddenly flushed.The elevator opened with a tinkle.Scarlett looked askance at Reilly, walking out of the elevator.She had just left the elevator when she heard the old woman's cries.The voice was so loud as if she was afraid that no one else could hear it. A woman with a microphone was persuading her, and Rocco was standing by her side staring at Scarlett.Scarlett raised an eyebrow and couldn't help tutting.She was right.Scarlett walked up to them. "I heard that you guys want to see me."Rocco looked at Scarlett with disbelief.When Scarlett was at their place, she was undernourished, looking pale and
