Chapter 295Frank knew that Katherine disliked him, so he ran downstairs as soon as he received the phone call. He was afraid that she would be annoyed if she waited for too long.Within 5 minutes after she hung up, Frank showed up in front of Katherine and said, "Hi, Miss Lawrence."Katherine said indifferently, "Ms. Reed asks me to hand it to you. It's Mr. Shaw's watch."She left soon as Frank took the box.Frank opened the box. It was Raymond's watch indeed. Raymond asked Frank to buy it before.As for why the watch was in Scarlett's hand, Frank imagined a cheesy and torrid scene.Along the way, he felt excited involuntarily.To be honest, he liked Scarlett very much. If she could be reconciled with Raymond, Frank would be very happy.Scarlett was beautiful and smart. Frank hoped that she would be Raymond's wife again.Raymond didn't come to the company in the morning. Frank put the watch in the drawer and planned to give it to Raymond tomorrow. Unexpectedly, Raymond went
Chapter 296Scarlett would like to have a try.Henry said, "Get in the car."Henry put her suitcase in the car, opened the car door and let her get in.They went to the airport after lunch. After half an hour, they boarded the plane.The fight was about three hours. After the plane took off, Scarlett wore the earplugs and closed her eyes to take a rest. She didn't open her eyes until the plane landed.It was her third time to come to Adelpore City. Last time, she went there two years ago.She met Henry at that time.The plane landed at 6 p.m. It was dark outside.The Andersons had arranged a car to pick them up. She would live in a hotel of the Anderson family.As soon as the plane landed, many people called Henry. Most of them were Henry's friends who were gossipy.When Henry and Scarlett showed up at the airport, they were photographed. The photos were posted online. There was a rumor that they were going out with each other.Scarlett had just known the rumor. Alexis sent
Chapter 297The birthday party would start at 7:30 p.m. Scarlett made her entrance at 7 p.m.She hadn't met Clair for two years. As soon as she showed up, Clair's secretary, Hoyle, invited her to a place.She carried the gift and followed Hoyle to a lounge calmly.Hoyle said, "Ms. Reed, here the way."Scarlett said with a smile, "Thank you, Hoyle."Hoyle said, "You're welcome, Ms. Reed. It's my pleasure."Hoyle pushed open the door.Scarlett walked in. Today, she wore heels and a blue long dress with flowery embroidery that was not that grand.Clair said, "Ms. Reed, long time no see."Clair was making coffee when Scarlett walked in. He looked up at her.She smiled and handed the gift to him. She said, "Mr. Clair, long time no see. Happy birthday to you."Clair laughed and took the gift. He said, "Thank you, Ms. Reed."Scarlett smoothed her dress and sat opposite to him. She said, "Don't mention it, Mr. Clair. It's just a small gift."Clair burst into laughter, "Don't give
Chapter 298Scarlett sipped her coffee as she watched Clair unwrap the present leisurely, "I hope you like it, Mr. Anderson."Clair was surprised to see what was inside, slapping his thigh, "Golly, how did you know I had my eye on this jade pendant?""I love it! Thank you, Scarlett." Clair couldn't tear himself away from the jade pendant.Scarlett put her cup down and replied with a smile, "When we met two years ago, I happened to overhear what you said to Secretary Hoyle.She actually didn't take it seriously at that time. However, she had an excellent memory, which played a role in this situation.This jade pendant's original owner was a wealthy collector who cared little for money. Scarlett had no choice but to ask Katherine to trade a painting for that jade pendant with him.Scarlett thought it was hopeless, for Katherine had not mentioned this matter to her for a long time. To her surprise, the collector agreed.Clair had no other interests except collecting jade. A few yea
Chapter 299Clair invited Scarlett to accompany him to receive guests at such a momentous event. The wise people all could see what Clair meant. Coupled with the fact that Clair had expressed his appreciation for Scarlett in the last interview, no one believed Clair wasn't into Scarlett.But Clair hadn't had an affair with any woman for 20 years after his wife's death. Besides, he was old enough to be Scarlett's father, so even if he did take a fancy to Scarlett, it wasn't for himself but his son.Henry was thirty-two years old, and Clair treated Scarlett like his future daughter-in-law. Like other parents, the older Clair got, the more eager he was for Henry to marry as soon as possible.Alexander glanced at Raymond subconsciously when he saw Scarlett and Clair appear together, "Ray, did Clair really intend Scarlett to be his daughter-in-law?"Hardly had he finished than Raymond's face clouded over with anger.Scarlett and Henry's photos swept the Internet before they boarded the
Chapter 300Hearing that, Henry raised his eyebrows, "What if I mean it?"Scarlett looked at Henry in a daze and suddenly smiled, "I can't afford to compete with so many girls, Mr. Anderson!"Henry was known as a playboy.He chuckled, "How can wildflowers rival roses? They are no match for you, Scarlett!"Scarlett wondered what Henry’s ex-girlfriends would think if they heard him say that.Without denying it, she raised her eyebrows, "But there is no if."They went back to the original question.Frustrated by Scarlett's second refusal, Henry took a swig of wine and stared at her inquisitively, "In what way is he better than me?""You're great, Mr. Anderson."She just wasn't into him.Henry didn't believe that at all, "I know I'm a playboy in your eyes."Without replying to him, Scarlett smiled and took a sip of juice.Although she didn’t have spirit cleanliness, she couldn't manage herself to accept that her husband had so many ex-girlfriends.Knowing Scarlett's acquiescen
Chapter 301Facing this unfriendly woman, Scarlett gradually ceased her smile and stared at her in silence.But Quinta thought Scarlett was guilty of her words, and then she sneered ironically, "Humph! I've seen a lot of women like you! What you really want is money, don't you? Stop dreaming and face the facts! Anderson family is out of your league, mark my words. Haven't you learned that from all the years you've been badgering Raymond?"Though Scarlett really didn't know who she was, she could tell from this woman’s words. She mentioned Henry frequently.When they were in the hotel before, Alexis told Scarlett about Henry's interpersonal relationships, including those of Henry's child friends and Quinta, the youngest daughter of the Rodriguez family and Henry's childhood sweetheart!Everyone in this circle knew how much Quinta liked Henry. But she had an infernal temper. Henry wouldn't even consider her for a relationship, let alone marriage.Relying on her family pedigree, Quin
Chapter 302Raymond overstated it a little. Quinta wasn't from the Anderson family after all.Scarlett frowned because she didn't want to embarrass Clair. She had a lot of ways to deal with Quinta in private, and there was no need to settle with her on such occasions.As Scarlett was about to speak, Quinta said, "Wow, I have to admit you're really good, Scarlett. You're divorced, but your ex-husband still stuck up for you. You're really popular with men, aren’t you?"They were so loud that more and more guests were looking at them. Henry was notified as soon as someone realized it was Quinta.Clair happened to be with Henry. When he knew Scarlett was bullied, his face suddenly clouded.'I brought Scarlett in myself. Who on earth had the nerve to bully her? Is he out of his mind?' Clair wondered."You're a real catch!" Quinta said with heavy irony.Henry was unable to suppress his anger when he walked to Scarlett. As he approached them, he heard Quinta's words and was so angry th
