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
Chapter 1034Alexis always posted pictures when she ate cakes. Of course Scarlett knew Alexis had eaten one before.Alexis did a double-take and patted the back of her head regretfully. "I made a mistake. I should have blocked you.""What?" Scarlett asked with a smile while looking through the menu.Alexis was scared. "Nothing. I'm just talking nonsense."Scarlett laughed. "Coward."Alexis made a face to express her dissatisfaction. "I don't want to have another child. I can't even eat what I like when I'm pregnant."Scarlett looked up at her and said bluntly, "Is that so? Who bought you the cake the day before yesterday?""Well... I can eat only one cake a week. That's not enough at all!""So you want two cakes. That's not a problem. Just ask Justin to cut the cake into two pieces next time."Alexis felt insulted. "Lettie, do you think I'm a fool?""No. Don't get me wrong. People are usually not as clever as they think."Alexis was speechless.Scarlett changed the subject
Chapter 1035Hardly had Devin left, Alexis asked eagerly, "Who's he?"Scarlett said, "I told you I don't know him."Alexis snorted, "Come on. You expect me to believe that shit?"Alexis knew that if Scarlett didn't know a man, she would ignore him.Alexis then rested her chin in her hands and stared at Scarlett with a smile.Scarlett knew that if she didn't tell Alexis the truth, she would stare at her all day.She took a sip of her lemonade and said, "I really don't know him. We just met the other day in Chatbury City.""How did he know your name?"Scarlett thought Alexis was quick-witted at times and said, "Maybe he overheard my name when Rowan and Viviana called me."Alexis nodded at Scarlett's sincere answer, "He has feelings for you, I suppose."Scarlett put the glass down and wore a half-smile, "Do you have a thing for him? How about I contact Justin now?"On hearing that, Alexis became flustered, "Nope. I just... eh made that up."And then she added, "Honestly, he lo
Chapter 1036The incident came to Scarlett's mind when she came back to the school. She usually didn't remember such trivial things. Seeing that Alexis got worried, Scarlett smiled and asked, with a deliberately slow tone, "Didn't you say that after you got married, you would tell your husband about your history at school to let him know how popular you were among guys then? Now that you're married and pregnant, I think it's time to tell Justin the stories." "No, no. I was silly. Forget about it! I’m begging you." A few days ago, a guy who used to chase Alexis called and asked Alexis to shoot a promotional ad for his company. Right after Alexis hung up the phone, Justin leaned over on the couch and asked her if it was that guy. Alexis admitted it. Then Justin sneered, "You have a good memory." Alexis had nothing to say. If she hadn't been pregnant, she thought she probably wouldn't have been able to get out of bed that day. If Justin knew that Alexis stil
Chapter 1037On the birthday of Darrell’s grandma, Scarlett arrived at the restaurant at 7:30 pm where the party was held. She brought a gift that Katherine had prepared.It was Libby and Darrell who greeted guests at the entrance.Seeing Scarlett, Libby felt a little surprised. When Libby sent the invitations, Scarlett happened to be away. Libby originally planned to personally give the invitation to Scarlett, but Katherine told her that she was not sure when Scarlett would come back. So, Libby could only give the invitation to Katherine.Now Scarlett was Raymond’s wife. Even if she didn’t participate in the party tonight, no one dared to criticize her. But she came, which was the honor of the Lancelot family."Hello, Mrs. Shaw.""Hello, Mrs. Lancelot."Seeing Libby, Scarlett smiled slightly and handed the gift to her.Libby quickly took it. "Thank you.""It’s my pleasure."The two had buried the hatchet. All the unpleasant things were in the past. Libby was happy that Scarl
Chapter 1038Devin wore a white suit today and looked quite handsome.But Scarlett's good friends such as Alexis and Justin were good-looking, so Devin's face was not attractive to her at all."I'm sorry. I don't know you well."Scarlett was indifferent to Devin. Obviously, she did not want to continue talking with Devin.However, Devin ignored her indifference. He shook the glass of red wine in his hand and asked, "You avoid me every time you see me as if I am a monster. Am I that scary?"Hearing his words, Scarlett smiled lightly. "Mr. Roach, you are not scary, but my husband is."Scarlett said and raised her hand. The ring on her ring finger glistened in the light of crystal chandeliers.Devin was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Scarlett to be married.Within just a second, Scarlett walked away.When Devin came to his senses, Scarlett had already walked into the crowd.Just after Scarlett got rid of Devin, she saw Alexander approaching her."Scarlett."From a di
