Chapter 877Scarlett curled her lips slightly, took the chips out of the basket, and placed them in front of her.Chris also took out his chips. Seeing this, Dewey smiled, "Your relationship is as good as ever."Scarlett looked at the hole cards and smiled lightly, "Mr. Shepard, thanks for your concern."Chris didn't join their conversation. He tapped on the table and told the dealer his decision.Dewey started talking about the things in the business circle, and Scarlett chatted casually with him.When Dewey tried to induce Chris into joining them, Chris always said, "Let's talk about it another day."When Dewey asked a question, if Scarlett answered, Chris would keep silent, and if Chris answered, Scarlett would keep silent.They were too stubborn, so Dewey felt bored and gradually stopped talking.After playing a few hands, Dewey felt it was dull, so after he answered a call, he said, "Would you please excuse me? Let’s play together next time. Mr. Shaw and Ms. Reed, please
Chapter 878After coming here, Scarlett did not sleep late either."Do you have any plan tomorrow?""I’m flying back to Liechtho tomorrow evening."Chris frowned, "What about we have breakfast together?""OK."After they two exchanged the chips for cash, they entered the elevator and were about to go back to their rooms.Chris escorted her to the door of her room. When Scarlett opened the door, Chris's phone rang.Scarlett pushed the door open, leaned slightly against it, and said "I'm going in. Good night."Chris took out his phone and smiled, "Good night."Scarlett glanced at him one last time, closed the door, took off her jacket, and went into the bathroom.Alexis was hanging out with Justin and had sent a lot of pictures to her.Scarlett turned on the faucet of the bathtub, sat on the couch in the living room, and skimmed through the messages from Alexis.Suddenly, Scarlett found Alexis had asked about Raymond.If Scarlett were a careless person, she would have misse
Chapter 879Early in the morning, Scarlett was awakened by Alexis' call.It was still dark. It was cloudy, as if it was going to rain.Picking up the phone that kept vibrating, Scarlett squinted at the caller ID, "What's up, Lexi?""Scarlett! Chris is Raymond, right?"Scarlett rubbed her temples and got out of bed. She couldn't help but smile, "Yes."Scarlett put on her slippers and went into the bathroom, "I'm going to wash up."After saying that, she directly hung up the phone.Hearing Scarlett's words, Alexis sat up directly from the bed, "Oh, my god!"She looked at Justin next to her in shock, "Raymond is not dead."Justin looked at her and raised his eyebrows, "The person you met yesterday was Raymond?""Yes, Scarlett said so. She admitted it just now!"Justin froze. After a moment, he held the excited Alexis into his arms, "You should not bother Scarlett."Alexis sneered but didn't say anything. Only the sound of their increasingly heavy breathing remained in the roo
Chapter 880Chris frowned, "Why did we divorce?"Scarlett looked at him, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and said, "Because you don't love me."He asked puzzledly, "Why did I marry you if I don't love you?""I threatened you."Chris snorted, "I can't imagine what you could use to threaten me."He paused for a while and continued, "But it's all over. I don't remember it anymore. I don’t think you should remember those things either."Looking at him, Scarlett smiled faintly.Looking at her smiling pretty eyes, Chris felt his heart skip a beat. He couldn't help lowering his head and kissing her on the lips.Scarlett blinked, bit his lips lightly, and backed away, saying, "The doorbell is ringing."The doorbell did ring, and their breakfast was delivered.Chris frowned, secretly complaining the hotel staff had come at bad timing.He glanced at Scarlett, who was smiling with her head down, and said, "Let’s have breakfast first."Scarlett froze for a moment. After she realized what
Chapter 881Justin didn't know much about Scarlett and Raymond's marriage, but Alexis knew a lot. Scarlett was their friend, so Alexis had often complained to him about Raymond treating Scarlett badly back thenWhen Justin remembered the old things, the look in his eyes turned a lot colder, and he said, "You did not treat Scarlett well."Chris frowned, "Did I cheat on her?"Justin glanced at him and replied, "You didn't cheat on her, but the things you did to her are as awful as cheating."Justin paused, thinking this was probably a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity that he could teach Raymond a lesson for Scarlett. As Scarlett's friend, Justin didn't know much about their three-year marriage, but he still felt sorry for Scarlett.Although it had been three years, and he didn’t hate Raymond that much, he would not miss this rare opportunity."Before your accident, most of the people around Scarlett didn't approve of you two getting back together," Justin said, and Chris's face bec
Chapter 882Scarlett's flight would take off at six o'clock. It was raining in Acatoca today, so it was a bit colder than usual.It was five o'clock when they arrived at the airport, and Scarlett directly went to check in with her suitcase.Standing at the security checkpoint, Scarlett asked hesitantly, "Will you go back to Jakesville?"Chris looked at her and answered firmly, "Yes, I will."Scarlett smiled, "I'll go in first. See you."Chris stood in situ and stared after her silently.Scarlett quickly passed the security checkpoint and entered the waiting room.When she disappeared from his sight, he turned around, left the airport, and headed back to the hotel.When encountering the red light, Chris took a cigar out of the iron box beside him. Just as he was about to light it, he spotted the ring on the passenger's seat. He paused for a moment, took the cigar out of his mouth, put it back in the box, and picked up the ring.Its design was simple and elegant, and it looked
Chapter 883After Katherine left, Chloe smiled at Scarlett, pointed to a cafe not far away, and said, "Let's go over there and take a seat, okay?""OK."Scarlett's impression of Chloe wasn't bad, but she didn’t like her.She hadn't visited Raymond for 30 years but had suddenly taken him abroad, which was not what a good mother would do."Don't worry. You will be aboard the plane in time," Chloe said with a smile after seeing Scarlett looking down at her watch.Scarlett smiled and followed her into the cafe.There were few people inside. Chloe chose a quiet table and ordered two lattes after they were seated."Ms. Wilson, what brought you here?"Chloe's attitude was not bad, and Scarlett remembered she had said that she didn't object to her and Chris being together.Of course, Scarlett didn’t know whether she had spoken her real thoughts or had pretended to be nice in front of Chris.Chloe raised her hand to brush her hair, took out a document from her bag, handed it to Scar
Chapter 884The smile on Scarlett's face faded. "Does Chris know about this?"Chloe took a sip of her coffee. "He'll know sooner or later."Chloe said, gesturing to the file Scarlett was holding. "Aren't you going to look at it?"Scarlett pursed her lips for a moment. She looked down and took the document out of the folder in her hand and found it to be a will.Scarlett was stunned for a moment. "Ms. Wilson?""My cousins don't care about family ties. It won't be the safest choice, whether it will be in my hands or Chris'. If you don't show up, I'll just have to give this will to Camille."Scarlett frowned for a moment. "Are you saying that I should take this will back home?""You're pretty smart."Looking at Scarlett, Chloe smiled. "Even if they were racking their brains, they wouldn't expect you to have this will."Chloe said, pausing for a moment. "Don't worry about it. I've had this will notarized by three lawyers at the same time. Unless I personally speak up and deny thi
