Chapter 1021Viviana knitted her brows at Scarlett's words. Even Yair couldn't help but lower his voice and say to Scarlett, "Ms. Reed?"Scarlett glanced at Yair, gave a smile and then cast a look at Viviana.Viviana did not speak, but her face was very frigid as well.After saying that, Scarlett took two steps forward and pointed at Gormend in front of her. "I want to kiss him first."On hearing her words, someone snapped, "Why him? If someone is to get your kiss first, it should be Kenneth!"Scarlett flicked a glance at their leader. "Kenneth, do you know why I want to kiss him first?"Kenneth had been the headman of this band of people for years. What Scarlett just said struck him as faintly humiliating. He was baffled as to why she thought him inferior to Gormend."Why?"Scarlett's lips curved in a smile. "Not only am I going to kiss him first, but I'll also give him an extra kiss, because he strikes me as your chief.""Take a closer look. Which one of us looks more like
Chapter 1022Rowan brought up Yair and treated him as his own son.Although Yair retired from the army more than ten years ago, he never slacked off in his practice. These hooligans were no match for him at all.They bullied people just because they had numerical superiority, but they had never been in a war or anything serious.Yair easily beat them with an iron bar.The pain of being hit was inevitable, though the iron bar was not thick.Yair gave them only one blow each, and they screamed in pain, rubbing their legs.Yair snatched the bars from their hands and threw them into the distance. Without weapons, these hooligans begged for mercy in fear.Scarlett was displeased by their noises and gave Yair a taser, "Shut them up."Yair took it and stunned them one by one. Then, he tied them up with vimen and dragged them to the roadside.It was already dark, and the insects were buzzing everywhere. Mosquitoes were abundant in the countryside, and Viviana pulled Scarlett back to t
Chapter 1023Scarlett and her grandfather and the others had to wait in the car for the police. In about ten minutes, the police came. They were taken to the police station to take their statements. After everything was done, it was almost 8 p.m. Scarlett was worried that her grandfather might be hungry, so they went to a nearby restaurant for supper. After supper, Yair's cell phone rang. He answered the phone. After hanging up the phone, Yair turned to Rowan and smiled, "Mr. Buffe, Ron Buffe, is coming to pick us up and take us back to town." In a few minutes, a middle-aged man and a young man came into the restaurant. The middle-aged man was so excited to see Scarlett's grandfather, "Mr. Tank!" The serious expression on Rowan's face eased a bit. "Ron, long time no see." "Long time no see!" Ron Buffe was Scarlett's grandfather's soldier when the latter served his duty in Chatbury twenty year
Chapter 1024Viviana was a little tired today. When she got in the car, she closed her eyes and rested. Scarlett was not familiar with the driver, so she had to look out of the window. In another car, after listening to the story told by Assistant Yair, Ron gritted his teeth and scolded, "Son of bitch." Then he said, "Don't worry, Sir. I will deal with today’s matter, and I won't let them go so easily. They robbed a hundred thousand dollars. It’s very easy to sentence them to prison for three or five years." Rowan snorted, "Those people look like they often do bad things. How dare they stop the car and rob it!" "I have investigated those guys. They do often steal and rob things, but the longest they've ever been locked up is three months." Sometimes it was not that the police didn't want to deal with them stealing things, it was that these things were not easy to deal with. Most of the stolen money was only a few hundred, at most a few thousand, the police could not give them sev
Chapter 1025Gormend’s eyes saw the blinding light after he had just come to his senses.Everything around him was familiar because he had to come here several times a year.He also knew the police officer sitting across from him, so Gormend was immediately relieved, "Hey, Nick, long time no see!"Nick had been police for more than eight years and had arrested Gormend more than ten times.People in the village were very abhorrent to Gormend, Kenneth, and the group of hooligans, who often stole little money, stole small things to sell, ate without paying, or did some other bad things. Because of their shrewd thoughts, each time the amount of money involved was not enough to sentence them, so they were released after a few days of imprisonment.Last month, Nick just caught Gormend and locked him up for a few days, he did not expect Gormend to come back in this month.He was reluctant to take a statement from Gormend because Gormend was so familiar with the inquiry process that every time
Chapter 1026But Viviana worried about Scarlett and asked her to sleep. Scarlett didn’t know how to refuse, and she said, "I won't bother you. Go to bed early.""So do you.""Okay."Turning around, Scarlett saw Yair and poured a glass of water for him. "Mr. Bowen, thank you."Yair quickly shook his head. "Ms. Reed, it’s my pleasure.""Go to sleep early.""Okay."Scarlett drank a cup of water. When she washed up, it was already past midnight.She was really tired. After she took her phone and sent “Good night” to Raymond, she fell asleep.She didn’t wake up until past nine next morning. And it was very bright outside.Because of the unexpected incident yesterday, everyone got up a little late today, except Yair.After Scarlett washed up and went out of the room, Yair had already bought breakfast and come back.Rowan and Viviana hadn't got up yet, so Scarlett greeted Yair in a low voice. "Good morning.""Good morning."Yair pointed to the breakfast on the table. "Choose wh
Chapter 1027Ron hadn’t seen Scarlett's grandfather in years. Yair was also a comrade of Ron before he retired from the army. The three talked about the old days without knowing time flew by.Jacky came with his father this evening to meet Scarlett. He had always admired Scarlett. He wanted to know how Scarlett got such high grades on every exam. He asked Scarlett some questions and learned that Scarlett was born with a high IQ. And Scarlett was also a diligent student. Of course, she would get good grades. Jack's grades were good, too. It wasn't hard for him to get into a top-notch college. But he had ambition. With his current performance, he was still a distance from his dream college. Jacky was frustrated when he learned that Scarlett's good grades were mainly due to her talent. Seeing Jacky get silent, Scarlett realized that she might have just discouraged the boy. She took a sip of her tea. It smelt nice. Then she turned to Jac
Chapter 1028The room was booked by Ron. This restaurant was started the year before last. It was the first time Scarlett had come here. There was a fork at the end of the corridor outside the room. Scarlett didn't know where the restroom was.Luckily, she met a waiter and asked him the way.There were few people in the restroom, so Scarlett soon came out.It was past 8 p.m. Many customers had just finished dinner and went out of the private rooms. Scarlett ran into a bunch of people.She subconsciously moved aside to make way for them.Devin didn't see Scarlett until Owen pushed him and yelled, "Look over there! What a beautiful woman!"Devin was playing a game on the phone and was about to clear the stage. However, Owen made Devin lose his progress. Devin tutted with annoyance and looked up. He then saw Scarlett standing on the side. She was wearing a pink flowered dress.The squared neckline revealed her fair, long neck. She lowered her delicate face slightly. Her bright, ro
