Chapter 514“Eight months later, the film Alexis starred in turned out to be a dark horse, emerging from crowded blockbusters and earning $1.4 billion at the box office. And I was the biggest investor. I became the biggest winner. I got $300 million with a $3 million investment." With so much money in her account, Scarlett found it boring to keep the money in the bank earning interest, so she founded Mornet Corporation that year, and she invested in several companies that year as well. A few years later, all the companies Scarlett invested in went public. In just a few years, Mornet Corporation grew rapidly. In her senior year in college, one of Scarlett's friends, who also was Alexis' boyfriend, Justin, had his business project suspended by the college. Justin's project was about to produce a product. He was reluctant to give it up. He went around for investment, but no one gave him any. Scarlett believed in Justin and, given their friendship ov
Chapter 515Scarlett said, yawning as she looked at her phone. "It's almost 10. p.m."An hour had passed before she knew it."Sleepy?"Scarlett had a routine. She usually finished bathing before 10. p.m."Well, a little."Raymond shook her hand. "Go and have a bath."Scarlett didn't move, smiling at him. "What about you?""I'll deal with the watermelon."They cut up a watermelon but just ate a quarter of it.Since Raymond was willing to clean up the mess, Scarlett didn't have to do it herself. "I'm going to take a bath.""Okay."Raymond answered, watching her step up to the third floor. He then got up and took the remaining watermelon from the table to the kitchen.As Scarlett came out of the bathroom, she saw Raymond hold a glass of watermelon juice.She was stunned for a moment. "Did you make it yourself?"The watermelon wouldn't taste so good tomorrow. Juicing it was not wasteful.Raymond nodded. "Would you like to drink it?"He drank a glass of juice before coming
Chapter 516Scarlett gave a wry smile. "You're so cheeky!"She pushed him away and lost her desire to sleep after being annoyed by Raymond.As soon as she ordered, the curtains slowly opened. The sun shone brightly in the sky.Frank sent clothes to Raymond and thoughtfully bought them breakfast. Scarlett saw the smile on Frank's face. She couldn't help raising her eyebrows. "Mr. Lewis, you seem in a good mood."When Frank heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Raymond and tried to keep a straight face. "The weather is very good today, Ms. Reed.""Oh, I thought there was a happy event."Frank was lost for words, so he had to say goodbye.Of course, he wanted to say, "There is indeed a happy event!"His boss finally succeeded in chasing his true love. Raymond even stayed overnight at her house. Thus, Frank thought Raymond must be delighted these days.Frank didn't dare to say to Scarlett. He knew Scarlett had a sharp tongue. He couldn't afford to provoke her.Scarlett watche
Chapter 517Katherine led the two men to Kendrick's office as Scarlett asked.Coincidentally, Kendrick, who rarely came to Mornet, was in his office today.As soon as the two men saw Kendrick, they immediately walked over. "Mr. Hopkins, it's been a long time.""Mr. Marquez, long time no see. How is your father?"Maurice took his seat, thinking of what had just happened. His face was sullen. "Mr. Hopkins, who is Ms. Reed?"Kendrick's expression changed slightly. "Ms. Reed is Suny's confidant. She is quite nice. If she offended you, I apologize to you for her."Maurice and Noel looked at each other. Scarlett had a pretty face and a lovely figure.Yet they came over today to talk about business. Kendrick had promised to invest in their company. They were just going through the motions.Maurice knew that Kendrick was doing his father a favor. Maurice decided to let it pass. "In that case, forget it. Noel and I came today for the project that we talked about last time..."As Mauri
Chapter 518Kendrick immediately panicked. "Ms. Reed, you are right. Then we don't need to invest in Glaysford."Scarlett smiled. "You're intelligent."Kendrick nodded. Although he was calculating, he would get more money if Mornet did well. Therefore, why did he have to go against Scarlett's wishes?Kendrick was a smart man. He quickly weighed up the pros and cons after Scarlett said that.Scarlett looked at his back, curving her lips.When Katherine came in, Scarlett had just finished reading a contract. Scarlett closed the contract, looking up at Katherine. "What's wrong?""Ms. Reed, the hospital just called me. Something happened to Mrs. Tucker. Do you want to go there?"Hearing Katherine's words, Scarlett directly took her bag. "What happened?""I don't know either. It seems to have something to do with Linley's husband."Roland?Scarlett frowned slightly, picking up her phone. "Is Mrs. Tucker in the hospital?"Katherine shook her head. She had intended to tell Scarle
Chapter 519Mrs. Tucker sighed. "Half a year after Linley married Roland, she found him having an affair with another woman. Later, someone told Roland what happened to Linley at university. Roland became even more reckless. He brought back that pregnant woman. Six months ago, Linley filed for divorce, but the Holden family didn't agree. They didn't want to give Linley a cent!"Mrs. Tucker wiped her tears. "They are heartless! Linley has been married for more than two years. She worked every day like their maid. Roland cheated on her, but they said that Linley has been coveting their property from the beginning. They also said that if Linley wanted anything from Roland, they would tell everyone in the town about that incident!"My husband and I are old. We are not afraid of being cursed. For Linley's sake, we would have compromised, but Linley said we couldn't do so and that she earned a lot of money over the years but spent it on her family. Now the Holden family doesn't want to g
Chapter 520Although sometimes she woke up from nightmares about that incident, she became hopeful and no longer lived in despair.Scarlett didn't come over these days, but Katherine had been paying attention to Linley.Even though Linley had just been in the hospital for about ten days, the psychiatrist said the initial treatment worked well.Now Linley was painting every day. Probably it became her spiritual sustenance. Linley was in a good state in the daytime, but she couldn't sleep well at night and occasionally felt unwell, so they still had the caregiver stay with her."Scarlett, I'll get better."Half a month ago, Linley said to Scarlett, "I'm sick." Now she told Scarlett she would get better.Scarlett looked at her. Linley looked much better than a dozen days ago.Linley was only twenty-six years old. She could live a happy life.Scarlett smiled. "Yes."She left the hospital at about 1 p.m. Scarlett had a meeting at 3 p.m., so she intended to eat something near the h
Chapter 521Scarlett looked at Julie with a slight smile.Julie hated seeing Scarlett like this. Now Scarlett was at their mercy, but Scarlett was not afraid at all."Oh, you may not know that Samir's wife is very tough. Samir picked a woman before. His wife cut off that woman's hands. What if she knows that you seduced Samir? Will she cut off your hands or feet?"Hearing Julie's words, Scarlett couldn't help laughing. "Since you're fine, how will I get hurt?"Julie heard the sarcasm in Scarlett's voice. Julie's expression changed slightly. "Samir will come tonight. I'll see how long you can be complacent!"Julie glanced back at the two men. "What are you waiting for? Aren't you going to send Ms. Reed to the room?"She emphasized the word "send" as if she wanted to tear Scarlett into pieces and swallow her.Scarlett glanced at the two men walking toward her. "Since I'm the woman chosen by Samir, you'd better not touch me."She slightly crinkled her dazzling eyes.The two men
