Chapter 238"Are you available this weekend? Would you like to have dinner with me?" Scarlett smiled, "Sorry, I’ll be busy." Even if she was free, she wouldn't go to dinner with Raymond. Raymond's eyes darkened, and then he nodded, "Good night." "Good night." Scarlett got out of the car and walked into the house. She was wearing a white coat today. Raymond remembered when she was sleepy just now, she looked like a Persian cat he once saw, who was squinting and dozing in front of the fireplace. She looked elegant and beautiful. Soon Scarlett's back disappeared into the villa. The gate closed, and he couldn't see anything. Raymond withdrew his eyes. He glanced at the seat where Scarlett had been sitting in. She had left a perfume smell in the car, and the smell was very faint, but it lingered for a long time, just like the feelings Scarlett left to him. Scarlett was tired today. She replied to Alexis' message when she got in her room, and then she
Chapter 239After reading that tweet, Scarlett concluded, "It’s not a good story." On the other end of the line, Alexis laughed, "Lettie, are you going to teach them a lesson?" Scarlett replied lazily, "I don't want to waste my time with her." The story was obviously coming from a lame actress. Scarlett exited the page and asked, "Has Julie been to the company lately?" Alexis hadn't said anything about Julie in days, but Scarlett suddenly brought her up, and Alexis was a little surprised, "Yeah. What's up? Does this matter have anything to do with the bitch?" Scarlett smiled, "Great! You’re getting smarter after the holiday." Alexis again sensed that she wasn't keeping up with Scarlett. She grunted, "Didn't you say you would wait for her to climb high before you pushed her down? If this had nothing to do with her, why did you bring her up?" Alexis finished her analysis and asked Scarlett, "Lettie, how do you want to teach her a lesson this time?" Sca
Chapter 240 Changing her clothes, Scarlett hesitated whether to tie a scarf or not. It was a sunny day, but the wind was strong outside. When she turned around, the hem of her coat swept her handbag on the stool. The handbag fell to the floor, and a jewelry box rolled out of it. Scarlett froze for a moment. She remembered the jewelry box. It was the same jewelry box that she had put in her handbag yesterday. There was a bracelet in it. Scarlett bought the bracelet as a gift to Alexis. But Kyleigh had sold it. So Scarlett intended to buy a new one. However, the bracelet was found back in her handbag. Scarlett picked up the box. She opened it and found the bracelet inside. She raised her eyebrows and wondered, "It's so strange! How did the lost bracelet come back?" The lost bracelet could not come back itself. It was obvious that Raymond had gotten the bracelet back. As for how he got it back, probably only he knew. The bracelet was a global limited e
Chapter 241Scarlett didn't remember that she had a schoolmate named Reilly in high school and college. When she was in high school, her parents had an accident, and Alexis was busy preparing to apply for an art college. She didn't pay attention to anything else.Now when Reilly brought it up, Scarlett remembered a little bit. "When I graduated, you gave me a bouquet, didn't you?"Scarlett had a great memory. She never forgot a thing, as long as she kept it in her mind.In Scarlett's senior year in college, on the day that they had their graduation photoshoot, many students came to give her flowers. She remembered that she was about to leave after her class had finished taking the group photo. Suddenly, a girl with a ponytail ran over with a bunch of champagne roses.At that time, Reilly was wearing a pair of heavy black-framed glasses, jeans, and a shirt. She was quite ordinary in the crowd.Scarlett probably wouldn't have remembered Reilly if the girl hadn't fallen while runnin
Chapter 242Scarlett glanced at her car. "My car is right over there."Raymond knew it. He just wanted her to talk with him in his car, but Scarlett seemed to want to find a place to talk.This was a surprise. Raymond looked at her. "Where to?""My home. Do you mind?"She had a video conference in the afternoon, so she was afraid that she would miss it if she stayed outside.Of course, she didn't care what Raymond thought.Raymond's heart beat faster as he heard this, but he pretended to be calm. "Okay.""Then let's go."Scarlett closed the car door and walked to her car.Twenty minutes later, the two cars stopped in front of the villa.The gate opened slowly. Scarlett glanced at the rearview mirror.After the gate opened, she withdrew her eyes and steered the car into the garage.Raymond tactfully parked the car at the gate rather than driving in.Scarlett came out of the garage. Seeing Raymond standing at the door on the second floor, she went to the shoe cabinet, got a
Chapter 243Scarlett looked at Raymond. The smile on her face faded. "I don't need you to do this for me."She could do it herself without help from anyone else."I just want to help you."Raymond sensed Scarlett's indifference. He pursed his thin lips with resignation.She had tightly closed the door to her heart. It had been more than eight months since they were divorced, but he still couldn't melt her heart.She seemed to have no feelings for him anymore.Raymond felt as his heart was pricked. He was sad but didn't give up. He looked up at Scarlett stubbornly.He didn't know Scarlett well, but during the eight months after the divorce, he gradually found that she was not hard-hearted; she was just protecting herself. He needed some time to win her heart back.She spent three years trying to get closer to him. He wouldn't give up after pursing her for only eight months.What was more, he couldn't let her go."But I don't want you to help me."They were both stubborn. The
Chapter 244Since Raymond was so fond of meddling, she would give him a chance.They arranged to meet in a restaurant named Clear Waters at six-thirty.Scarlett came out after the meeting beginning at three o'clock. It was already five-thirty.Katherine reported Jared's recent work in YetLeague. It was already the end of February. The second round of financing would start soon.So far, Jared and his team seemed to have gotten back on track."Good. Thank you.""That's what I should do, Ms. Reed."Scarlett glanced at Katherine, "Is the James family going to take over Centel?"Scarlett heard that Ethen met with Stephen twice. Ethen was delighted these days, most likely because Stephen would help him deal with the matter of Centel, which was now an awful mess.Katherine pursed her lips. "I haven't received any news about this."Scarlett nodded. "I see. I'll go first.""Okay, Ms. Reed."Katherine watched Scarlett leave. Remembering the bullshit Frank said that night, she couldn
Chapter 245 Scarlett smiled lightly, "Didn't Mr. Shaw tell you, Mr. Woods? Your daughter's schedule is too full. I have some personal matters with her that need to be resolved, but I can't make an appointment with your daughter. So, I could only ask Mr. Shaw to make an appointment with you for me." Ethen had always felt that Scarlett was no match for his daughter Julie. When Scarlett said this, he thought it was because of Julie and Raymond that Scarlett was not happy. He gave a sarcastic laugh, "Ms. Reed, if I remember correctly, you divorced Ray last year. So, you have no right to be involved in Ray’s personal matters now! As Julie’s father, I have never interfered with her freedom of dating! You're just Ray's ex-wife. Who told you that you have the right to dissolve in this matter?" Raymond's face sank, "She has the right." He paused for a moment and looked at Ethen coldly, "What's more, there is nothing between Ms. Woods and me. I asked you to come here today to
