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
Chapter 522Scarlett said indifferently and walked back from the balcony.The bodyguard was slightly relieved to see her walking back, "Ms. Reed, are you hungry?""Yes. I was just about to go for lunch when you brought me here."The bodyguard said guiltily, "I'll have someone prepare lunch for you."Scarlett glanced at him, "Good. It's hot, so I want to eat something light but not spicy."The bodyguard twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.'Ms. Reed adapts here so quickly.'"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it for you.""Well, thanks."Scarlett's phone and purse were taken away, so the two bodyguards were convinced that Scarlett couldn't get in touch with anyone. Since she had already started to order something to eat, they didn't continue keeping a close eye on her.Scarlett sat on the sofa and sneered lightly as she watched the door to the room being closed.Afterwards, she pressed the button on her watch.This watch had been modified by Future Technologies. There w
Chapter 523Katherine found out that Scarlett was missing at about two o'clock. Scarlett had a meeting at 3 pm, but she hadn't returned to Mornet Corporation at 2:30, which was very unusual.Katherine called Scarlett. The call went through, but no one picked up.Katherine made several phone calls and no one answered, so she guessed that something had happened to Scarlett.After being Scarlett's secretary for so many years, Katherine knew that this was a serious problem, but she calmed down quickly and immediately contacted Raymond.No one knew what happened to Scarlett. If she was taken away by the badass, it was not clear that his/her purpose was for money or sex. Besides, Scarlett was an adult and had only been out of contact for over two hours. If she called the police, the police might not accept it. Calling the police may put Scarlett in a bad situation.After weighing the pros and cons, Katherine decided to contact Raymond.Of course, she could investigate on her own, but
Chapter 524"I see."Scarlett was more at ease than Alexis and Raymond were. She was just thinking that this afternoon's meeting might have to be put off until tomorrow.She thought of these things and then felt a little discontent.'Mr. Livesey can kidnap me at any time. Why did he do it today? Can't he do it tomorrow? I'm free all day tomorrow.'While she was in a daze, the door was pushed open and the bodyguard, who had said he would prepare her lunch, came in with the food.The smell of food made Scarlett feel hungry, too. She got up and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She came out and watched the bodyguard helping her put the food on the table."Thank you."The bodyguard took one look at Scarlett and thought she didn't look like to be kidnapped by him to be here, but rather like she'd come here on a holiday.It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Scarlett had been starving for more than two hours, and her stomach was a little sick.But the bodyguard
