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
Chapter 225Kyleigh came here this time just to ask for money. She did not want to meet Scarlett at all. That was just a pretext.After Scarlett's parents' accident, Kyleigh heard that Scarlett's parents had bought accident insurance and Scarlett got substantial compensation. She came to Scarlett and wanted to get some money, but Scarlett kicked her out directly with a broom. As a result, Kyleigh was laughed at by everyone in the village for more than ten years.If she had not heard Scarlett founded her own company and became rich, Kyleigh would never be willing to see Scarlett again for the rest of her life.Kyleigh was also older now. She had been so tired after waiting here all day. Yesterday, it took her a whole day to come to Juanton City by bus. And she had to pay eighty dollars every night for her hotel room!Kyleigh wanted to get the money and leave right now. She had been worried that it would take a long time, but Scarlett was so smart that she asked Kyleigh directly how
Chapter 226Scarlett took another look at Kyleigh, who was as mean and selfish as many years ago.Scarlett smiled sarcastically.How dared Kyleigh ask for four million dollars!Reilly just realized what Scarlett said and nodded, "I got it, Ms. Reed."Scarlett grunted and turned to leave.This sudden change made many people confused, including Kyleigh.Scarlett took out a check and asked how much they wanted just now. How could she suddenly chase them away? She didn't even give them a cent.No way!Kyleigh caught up with Scarlett. "Hey! Stop! Come back! Give me an explanation!"Scarlett's bag was dragged. She frowned and stopped, coldly looking back at Kyleigh. "It's a limited-edition bag worth 800,000 dollars. Can you afford to rip it?"When Scarlett said this, her face was stolid as if she was just talking about her dinner.She was calm and emotionless.Hearing this, Kyleigh was shocked. "You wicked girl! You had 800,000 dollars to buy a bag! But you don't even give a cen
Chapter 227Kyleigh snatched Scarlett's bag, dragged Rocco, who was still in a daze, and ran away.Seeing this, the hostess was shocked. None of them had thought things would come to this.The audience was discussing excitedly. Some said Scarlett was cold-blooded, who splashed out eight hundred thousand dollars on a designer bag but wasn't willing to give her grandmother money. Some said Kyleigh went too far. Others said Rocco was useless, encouraging his mother to come to his niece for money. Anyway, everyone held their views.Reilly just called the guards over, standing there at a loss for what to do. Things changed fast. She left for a moment, and Scarlett was robbed of her bag.Reilly glanced at Scarlett, who had always been smiling slightly but now stood still with a cold face.Reilly stiffened, not daring to say a word.Scarlett shook off Raymond's hand and walked out.Raymond followed behind her. "Where are you going?"Scarlett was going to the police station, but after
Chapter 228As Scarlett's all-around secretary, Katherine called her immediately after knowing what happened, asking Scarlett's opinion. Katherine would handle the matter properly."Ms. Reed, shall I do something to guide public opinion?"Scarlett glanced at the car in front of her. "No. Contact Dwayne. I'm on the way to the police station."Katherine was taken aback. This matter was different. After all, it involved Scarlett's grandmother and uncle.Katherine had thought that this matter was very tricky. In her opinion, Scarlett was beautiful and kind-hearted. Maybe that old woman could easily soften Scarlett up.Now it seemed that Katherine underestimated her goddess!"Okay, I got it, Ms. Reed."Scarlett grunted and hung up the phone.Her bag had been snatched away by Kyleigh. All she had with her was the phone in her hand.There was a police station nearby. Ten minutes later, the car stopped.Scarlett had just gotten out of the car when she saw Raymond following her.She
Chapter 229After coming out of the police station, they went straight to a nearby restaurant.Scarlett wasn't obsessive about cleanliness, but she preferred a quiet and clean dining environment.She couldn't make herself uncomfortable just to disgust Raymond.It was not worth it!Since they were well dressed and pretty, they attracted a lot of attention just after they entered the restaurant.The waiter guided them to a window table. Scarlett took a seat and briskly ordered food.Raymond came to eat hot pot for the first time. He couldn't stand the strong smells around him.He glanced at Scarlett across the table. She was looking down at the menu and ordering seriously. She seemed relaxed.He knew she was doing that on purpose, but he was pleased.Raymond opened the menu. Looking through it, he didn't want to eat anything here.Scarlett ordered what she liked. She checked and found that Raymond hadn't ordered anything. She looked up at him, raised her eyebrows, and called h
