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
Chapter 230Scarlett withdrew her gaze. She looked up into Raymond's eyes.He was staring at her. "Not bad."Scarlett pushed the plate of the remaining beef to him. "Eat this."Raymond didn't move. "I can't cook."Scarlett was stunned. Looking at Raymond, she suddenly laughed. "Do you want me to cook it for you?"Was he dreaming?"My stomach hurts."She remembered that Raymond had a stomach problem, and it was serious.Yet what did this have to do with her?Scarlett grunted, showing no inclination to help him.She had never done that for anyone.Who did he think he was?A young woman suddenly came over and looked straight at Raymond. "Hi, can I be your WhatsApp friend?"The woman was good-looking but couldn't hold a candle to Scarlett.Raymond glanced at Scarlett and replied coldly, "No.""Are you afraid she will be unhappy? Miss, don't get me wrong. I just want to say thank you for giving us the dishes!"Raymond frowned, impatient with the insensitive woman. "Please d
Chapter 231Raymond just glanced at her without speaking.As she thought of that incident, Scarlett's spirits plummeted.She fell silent, sitting there looking at Raymond across the table.Raymond was particularly picky about food. When Scarlett had just married him, Jean took a stack of papers and asked her to memorize them.Those were all about Raymond's preferences. She was fond of him at that time. With her good memory, she bore all the information in mind after looking through the papers.Scarlett felt that she shouldn't have done that.She shouldn't have opened the papers. If she hadn't done that, she wouldn't have remembered what Raymond liked to eat and what he hated at the sight of him.While she was lost in thought, Raymond finished his dinner.He looked at Scarlett, pursing his thin lips slightly. "I'm done eating."Hearing this, she came out of her trance. She withdrew her gaze, got up with her phone, and went out.Raymond unhurriedly followed her on his long leg
Chapter 232He didn't answer her question and asked her a question unrelated to hers.Scarlett didn't want to talk to him, keeping silent.Just after they crossed the road, a cup of milk tea was pressed in Scarlett's hand."I don't want to drink it."She directly returned it to Raymond. She had little interest in milk tea. Moreover, it was given by Raymond. She wouldn't drink it."It can warm your hands."Raymond didn't take it. Scarlett stopped and held the milk tea out to Raymond. He still didn't take it.A couple walked past. Scarlett walked to the girl with a smile. "Hi, here's a cup of milk tea. You can use it to warm your hands."Scarlett was pretty. Her eyes crinkled while she was smiling. The couple was stunned. They wondered if the milk tea store hired this pretty lady to attract customers.Before leaving, Scarlett added, "The milk tea is unopened. You can drink it."After that, Scarlett gently nodded, glanced at Raymond, and passed by him.Raymond didn't care at
Chapter 233Scarlett also saw Raymond. She thought he had gone, but when she looked over, she saw him standing outside that window. It was so cold and he was just standing there. The traffic was busy. The human figures are full of the street. Only did he look pathetic. But Scarlett would never be touched by that. She withdrew her eyesight. Not waiting for Katherine to come in, she had got up and walked out.After hesitating a while,Katherine struggled to open her mouth to remind Scarlett that Raymond was there. But Scarlett had already left the restaurant without looking at her. When she passed by, Scarlett smiled and said, "Let's go to the police station." Time’s nearly up. Scarlett estimated the time correctly. She hadn't even crossed the street and walked to the police station door when the officer in charge had already called her. She glanced at the red light across the street, "Mr. Wade." "Ms. Reed, your lost bag has been recovered. The two suspects who
Chapter 234Kyleigh robbed Scarlett after she failed to get the money from Scarlett, which had been witnessed by millions of netizens on the live streaming. No matter how unreasonable she was, she couldn't deny it because the evidence was everywhere on the Internet."I am here to take back my bag, Mr. Wade."With an impressive start, Scarlett ignored Kyleigh since she walked into the room.Mr. Wade gave back Scarlett her bag before it was sold. Scarlett took out all stuff in the bag one by one before them.As expected, the cash and a necklace Scarlett had bought for Alexis were gone.Huh, her grandma was pretty fast.Scarlett shot a glance at Kyleigh and then put everything back in her bag. "Mr. Wade, I have told you all the stuff in my bag when I reported the case. I assume the record includes all the details, so you should know better than me about what is missing," said Scarlett.Because of this, Mr. Wade, who had planned to suggest a private settlement, became very embarrassed, and
Chapter 235When Scarlett just came to the lobby of the police station, she saw Dwayne, who had left for half an hour just now and had already returned."Ms. Reed. Secretary Lawrence."Scarlett nodded and smiled at Dwayne, "Thank you, Dwayne.""You're welcome."Scarlett glanced at Katherine, and then Katherine followed her out and said, "Ms. Reed.""Go ahead."They stood in the cloister. It was after nine o'clock. A few cars passed them on the road from time to time, but there were almost no pedestrians. They were not afraid of being overheard by others.Seven hours had passed. Katherine must have found out who messed with Scarlett.Katherine looked at Scarlett and said, "It's Julie. During the Hometown Day, Mr. Shaw was in Chatbury City. Julie asked someone to investigate you. After finding out something about you and your grandmother, she purposely sent someone to tell Kyleigh that you are doing well here. Rocco happened to gamble during this period and borrowed 50,000 dolla
Chapter 236She used to think Raymond was quite nice. However, since Scarlett divorced Raymond, Katherine felt that Raymond was not good enough for Scarlett.She knew that Raymond wanted to take the opportunity to send Scarlett back and ask for a cup of coffee by the way. If he softened up Scarlett, maybe he could even sleep with Scarlett tonight. As she drove, Katherine felt proud that she helped Scarlett.When the car suddenly stopped, Scarlett slowly opened her eyes. "What's wrong?"Katherine took a look at Scarlett and blushed. "Maybe it broke down. Ms. Reed, please stay in the car. I'll get out and take a look."It was late at night, and there were not many cars on the road.Scarlett could not bear to see her beautiful secretary get out of the car alone to check. She nodded, but she still unbuckled the seat belt and also got out of the car.Katherine saw Scarlett step out and felt a little guilty. "Ms. Reed, it's cold at night. You'd better get into the car.""It's okay."
