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
Chapter 1029"Devin, do you know that beauty?"It was the first time that Owen had seen someone refuse Devin. Devin was always popular. When he was in kindergarten, girls encircled him and gave him candy, toys, and pens. Later, he became a pupil. Girls clamored to be his deskmate and teammates. In junior middle school, a lot of girls chased him.Devin had many girlfriends. Most of them were Devin's admirers. He had only pursued several women. One was the prettiest girl in the foreign languages department of his college, and the other was that beautiful woman.Devin broke up with that girl after dating her for about three months.Owen hadn't seen Devin ask for a woman's phone number for many years. Moreover, the woman said she didn't remember Devin.Owen was shocked.Devin was very handsome. Few people could forget him.The other people present were also confused. Many of them were curious about the relationship between Scarlett and Devin.As soon as Owen asked Devin, those who
Chapter 1030They would return to Juanton City by plane at 3 p.m. Scarlett intended to eat at a restaurant and went to the airport in advance. Rowan's legs were bad, so they needed more time to check in and board the plane.After breakfast, Scarlett and Viviana began to pack up.Even though they had been here for only five days, they had brought a lot of things over.Scarlett's things had been sorted before coming here. These days, the servant had sent their clothes to the laundry regularly, folded the clothes, and taken the clothes back to their rooms in the afternoon. Therefore, Scarlett just needed to put her clothes in the bags.She put her cosmetics and skin care products in the suitcase and finished packing in 10 minutes.She walked out of her room with the suitcase and wanted to help Rowan.The next moment, the doorbell rang.Viviana also heard it. She came out of the room and exchanged a glance with Scarlett.Scarlett raised her eyebrows, saying, "I'll open the door. Y
Chapter 1031Kyleigh was always domineering but was scared by what Scarlett had said. Standing in the doorway, Kyleigh gripped the bag of gifts, not daring to knock on the door again.Kyleigh knew that Scarlett was different from Kenny. Scarlett had no feelings for Kyleigh. Otherwise, Rocco would have been imprisoned. Scarlett said that she would keep Rocco in prison forever. It was not a joke.However, Kyleigh didn't know who else could help them.She was over 70 years old. The villagers didn't dare to offend her, so she had been overbearing in the village for decades. She didn't want to move away. Although poor, she felt pleased living there.Yet they were not in the village. Kyleigh knew that she couldn't get her way by making a scene.Gormend stopped their cars and robbed them of almost 10,000 dollars. Besides, one of the victims was a veteran. The incident caused an uproar. The police officer told Kyleigh that even if she lay outside the police station every day, Gormend w
After all, Mornet Corporation had invested a lot of money in that company.Because Scarlett went to bed early last night, she got up early this morning. Then she arrived at Mornet Corporation at 8:45 a.m.Scarlett hadn't arrived yet, but Katherine had already thoughtfully put the papers in order of urgency on Scarlett's desk.Scarlett picked up a file and read it. She was halfway through the file when Katherine came in. "Ms. Reed, good morning."Scarlett looked up at Katherine and smiled slightly. "Good morning, Katherine."Scarlett said, with a slight pause. "That's a beautiful necklace."Katherine glanced down at the necklace on her chest and felt a little embarrassed. "Thank you, Ms. Reed."Seeing Katherine's reaction, Scarlett couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "You look so nervous. Did your boyfriend give you that?"Katherine was very considerate and capable and was thirty years old this year. She had been Scarlett's secretary for almost eight years. However, in the past
Chapter 1033The meeting lasted two hours because of the severe situation. Mornet Corporation was very bullish on the company, and it sunk a lot of money into it. But the founders caused a lot of trouble, which went viral on the Internet and damaged the company's image.It was dangerous for a new company to have many internal problems at the beginning of its development.Scarlett was not one to waste her time on such matters and, besides, she was an investor, so she valued profits.Although this was a personal affair for the founder, it was no small matter that personal issues involved the company's interests. Scarlett did not think a man could do something big if he could not take care of his own affairs.There was no doubt that Mornet Corporation would pull the plug. However, a director rejected the proposal because the founder of that company was his nephew.The other directors did not state their positions until Scarlett had made her opinion known.They all sided with Scarlet
