Chapter 840Later, more and more people came to Scarlett. Even the members of the billiards club came to her.Scarlett felt tired of the billiards and was afraid of disturbing her family. She was not short of money, so she played three games of billiards with Justin and lost all of them to him.After that, Justin stopped helping his classmates with their homework. After all, a half-hour of billiards could earn a hundred dollars. It was not worth spending more than three hours doing homework to earn fifty dollars.Later, Scarlett's reputation was overshadowed by Justin. Fewer and fewer people played billiards with her, and she finally got relieved from the busy schedule.Of course, Raymond didn’t know about these things.After all, he never asked about it.Half an hour later, Scarlett looked up at Raymond and said, "You win.""Hmm."Letting go of the cue, Raymond stepped up next to Scarlett and lowered his head to kiss her lips. "What do you want to eat tonight?"At the same tim
Chapter 841The hotel restaurant was really good. When Scarlett and Raymond finished their dinner, it was seven o'clock in the evening. It was dark and a bit cold at night. Scarlett wore a thin dress, so they went back to the room directly after the walk.There was a theater room in the hotel room. It was a good thing to watch a movie during the long night.At nine o'clock, Rowan called Scarlett and asked when she was going back. He would ask Larry to pick her up.Scarlett glanced at Raymond and said awkwardly, "Grandpa."Remembering about the afternoon ball game, she knew what she should do.However, she didn't know how to tell Rowan about it.After thinking for a moment, she said, "I won't go back tonight. Raymond and I will pick you up to go fishing tomorrow morning."Hearing her words, Rowan sneered, "Is Raymond beside you?"Scarlett turned her head to look at Raymond and smiled, "Yes.""Give him your phone. I have something to say to him.""Grandpa, I have something to
Chapter 842Scarlett turned to watch the movie and said, "You're so cunning."'He seizes the chance to show his consideration."She clicked her tongue.Rowan had called Scarlett. Of course, she couldn't stay overnight here.After they watched the movie, Raymond kept his words and drove Scarlett to the Tank family's villa personally.At 10:30 p.m., Raymond stopped his car in front of the door of the Tank family's villa.The lights on the second floor were still on. Scarlett looked outside through the car window and saw a person standing on the balcony.It was Larry.Scarlett felt embarrassed. She said to Raymond, "Be safe on the way. Have a good night. Bye."Raymond kept silent. He leaned forward, raised her chin and kissed her.Scarlett snorted. Raymond seized the chance and gave her a French kiss.His kiss was aggressive as if he would swallow her up. She could scarcely breathe.Scarlett loosened her grip on his chest. Then she felt the wind from outside and calmed down.
Chapter 843After a couple of seconds, Scarlett suddenly came to her senses. 'It might be a scam call!' 'That's right! It must be a scam call!'' Raymond had sent her a message last night when he returned to the hotel. How could he be at Lacott river? It was in the complete opposite direction of the hotel! Scarlett gradually calmed down. She turned on her phone again and clicked on WhatsApp. The truth was that her chat with Raymond stopped last night when she sent him good night. Raymond hadn't messaged her back since then. Usually, he would reply to her with a "Good night", not like this. After her good night, their conversation was over. He didn't reply to her after that. Scarlett looked at the blank at the bottom of the chat screen. She felt weak. After a long time, Scarlett regained her senses. She didn't know what had happened exactly. But she knew that panicking wouldn't help.
Chapter 844Scarlett looked at Officer Wyatt and frowned slightly, "Sorry, if I understand correctly, this should be a traffic accident. If it was a traffic accident, why was it reported to the criminal police?" Officer Wyatt was stunned for a moment. Then he came to his sense. He looked at Scarlett admiringly, "Ms. Reed, you are clever. That's what I'm talking about. When we checked the vehicle, we found that the brakes of the car had been tampered with, so we suspect that this is a premeditated homicide." Scarlett's hands clenched at the word "homicide". "Where's Raymond?" "We haven't found Mr. Shaw's body yet." Scarlett didn't like the word "body," but she knew that as Raymond's car had lost its brakes and plunged off the Lacott River Bridge into the river, Raymond had probably lost his life, which was Officer Wyatt's reasonable guess. Nevertheless, Scarlett couldn't accept it, "Officer Wyatt, Raymond wouldn't lose hi
Chapter 845 As Scarlett contacted Frank in the first place, except for the few people Scarlett informed personally, no one else knew that Raymond had an accident. Raymond had an accident, and Scarlett instantly thought of Ryker. Ryker was the most suspicious. However, Frank's investigation turned out that Ryker was still in custody, although the case of Ryker's kidnapping of Scarlett had not yet gone to trial. Scott and Harold were busy saving themselves. And Ryker was in custody. Not to mention dealing with Raymond, they could not get themselves out of their own troubles.So it was not Ryker or either of his sons. At the moment, Scarlett couldn't think of anyone else. Raymond had been in the business for so many years. He certainly had enemies, but who would dare to take on Raymond in such a desperate way? Scarlett had never been in such chaos. She could not think of anything, not a clue.
Chapter 846This was the last footage of Raymond before he disappeared. Scarlett watched it over and over, but she couldn't find any clues.Larry, who was sitting next to Scarlett, directly turned off the surveillance video. "Stop watching it."He glanced at Scarlett and then looked at the hotel manager next to him. "Is the woman inside the video a guest checking in the hotel?"The hotel manager was stunned for a moment. "Mr. Tank, I'm not really sure. I'll have someone check it out now."Larry replied, then glanced at Scarlett and asked the question Scarlett wanted to ask.Soon, the front desk staff gave feedback to the hotel manager. The woman who hit on Raymond and took him out of the hotel did not check into the hotel.That meant they still didn't know who the woman was.That woman was the key. However, she did not check into the Sapphire Hotel. Even if Scarlett remained at the hotel, she could not find out more information about the woman.Just then, Scarlett received a c
Chapter 847The weather today was not very good. Yesterday it was sunny, and the sun shone brightly. However, today it suddenly became cloudy.Scarlett was standing by the river. Looking at the rolling river, she just felt cold.Larry, beside her, took a spare blanket from the car and put it on Scarlett. Scarlett looked back at him. "Thank you, Larry.""Although I don't like Raymond, I'm sure it won't be that easy for him to have an accident."Larry's words seemed a little feeble against the sound of the river under the bridge in front of him.At this point, one always needed a miracle.Scarlett actually did not believe in miracles. She didn't even believe in ghosts and spirits. However, she now only hoped that God could hear her prayers and hoped that miracles could happen.Raymond was still very young."Ms. Reed."Katherine almost ran all the way over here. Katherine was slightly relieved to see that Scarlett was safe."There you are, Katherine."Scarlett looked back at K
