Chapter 1056Despite his bafflement, the host nodded, "Sure. Eh...sorry, Ms. Reed. I’m afraid I don’t follow you."Scarlett asked, "May I have a deck of cards?"The host was about to ask something, but he forbore from doing so when he got the hint from the supervisor that he would oblige her."Okay, just a minute."Whatever Scarlett asked for, they would meet her requirements. After all, nothing was more important than keeping her and Raymond on stage.The staff soon came with the cards, and the host handed them to Scarlett.Scarlett took out a pen from her bag, wrote "Suny" on a card, and showed it to the host, "I wrote something on this card. The audience that gets this card later will be awarded the prize."This proposal threw the audience into an uproar.The approach was more attractive than the mall organizers' idea of the audience competing for prizes by playing games.It was the luck of the draw. That was so exciting!Scarlett smiled and said to the host, "Would you pl
Chapter 1057Scarlett and Raymond gradually walked away from the crowd. Along the street, many stores had the Couple's Day promotion posters on the doors. Occasionally they came across vendors selling roses on the street. Scarlett and Raymond’s car was parked on Couple Street, so they had to go back to Couple Street to pick up their car. There was an event at Couple Street in the evening. It was even livelier than during the daytime. When they got to the corner, they found the street lit up with beautiful lights, and there were more couples than during the day. The two had already strolled the street during the day. Now they just casually walked down the street, their hands holding each other. Suddenly, a 16 or 17-year-old girl came up to them with a large basket of red roses. The girl had a rose in her right hand and held it up to Scarlett and asked Raymond, "Uncle, it's Couple's Day. Would you like to buy your girlfriend a rose?" Hearing the girl call h
Chapter 1058Scarlett was twenty-eight years old, and Raymond was seven years older than her.He was seven years older than her.It was the first time that Raymond had found that he could be addressed as “uncle” at this age.Realizing this, Raymond had an inexplicable sense of crisis for the first time.But he would not tell Scarlett about this.They walked through Couple Street and arrived at the parking lot within half an hour.It was getting late, and Scarlett couldn't help yawning as soon as she fastened her seat belt.Raymond turned his head and glanced at her. "Are you sleepy?"Scarlett nodded. "Yeah, a little bit."She hadn’t slept well last night.When Scarlett thought of what had happened last night, she felt her cheeks burning.Turning her head, she looked out of the car window to divert her attention.The car started slowly. As today was Couple's Day, there were more cars on the road than usual.When Raymond’s car was rear-ended, Scarlett was snoozing.With a
Chapter 1059Today was Couple's Day. Katherine hadn't expected that Scarlett would call her.Yesterday Katherine knew from Frank that Raymond had come back. Therefore, Katherine thought Scarlett and Raymond would go out together on Couple's Day.Katherine picked up the phone with surprise. "Ms. Reed?"Scarlett glanced at Griffin, smiled slightly, and answered, "Happy Couple's Day, Katherine.""Happy Couple's Day, Ms. Reed."Scarlett came straight to the point. "Newper's vice president is Willie Ramsey, right?"Mornet invested in Newper five years ago. Newper went public last year, and its share price rose quickly. Mornet made a fortune from it.Scarlett invested in Newper in the name of Mornet. Thus, she had never intervened in the important matters about Newper, but Mornet regularly sent people to attend Newper's meetings.Katherine never went to the meetings. Because Newper went public last year, she read the information about Newper's management group. Katherine remembered
Chapter 1060Sam said, "Secretary Lawrence, bye."Katherine didn't say anything else but hung up.Sam didn't waste time on polite commonplaces with Katherine. After Katherine hung up, he called Willie immediately.Willie was Sam's college classmate. They had a good relationship, so Sam appointed Willie as Newper Corporation's vice-president.Sam came straight to the point, "Willie, did Griffin go out tonight? Ms. Reed's secretary, Katherine, called me and said that Griffin had rear-ended Ms. Reed on her way home. Griffin told them that he was Newper Corporation's vice-president's son."Hearing that, Willie was shocked and asked, "Sam, what do you mean? I don't understand."Sam said, "Ms. Reed's secretary called me personally. Griffin is young. Understandably, he is impulsive sometimes, but he shouldn't have offended Ms. Reed!"Willie didn't believe what Sam had said. After all, Griffin was Willie's son, and he thought he knew his son well. Willie said, "Although Griffin is misc
Chapter 1061After the car accident was settled, Scarlett and Raymond were not home until 11 pm.The car slowly drove into the villa. After parking the car, Raymond looked sideways at Scarlett, who had fallen asleep. "Scarlett?"Scarlett had fallen asleep on the way back. Hearing Raymond call out to her, she moved slightly. Raymond pushed the car door open and got out. He went around to pull open the passenger door and picked Scarlett up.Scarlett woke up just as she was being picked up. The lights in the garage were a little bright, so she squinted slightly and looked at Raymond. "Are we home?""Yeah."Raymond answered and carried her straight upstairs.Scarlett was awake after coming back to the master bedroom. She reached for the warm water Raymond handed her and drank half of it. She then glanced at Raymond and said, "I'm going to take a shower.""Okay."Raymond took the cup from Scarlett's hand and stroked her head.Scarlett had long felt sleepy after going on a long str
Chapter 1062Looking at Raymond's face which was only inches away from hers, Scarlett blinked her eyes lightly.Raymond gave her a quick peck. "Doesn't this count?"Scarlett felt faintly embarrassed. She hadn't bargained for this."Let's go and have breakfast."Raymond was aware that Scarlett was shy, so he spared her from further awkwardness. He took the cup from her hand, turned around and went back into the kitchen.It was something after three o'clock in the afternoon that Scarlett spotted the succulent plants beside the fish pond which hadn't always been there. She went downstairs to feed the goldfish. It was fairly cool in the shade provided by the tree, so she placed a lounger beside the fish pond and leisurely reclined in it to sunbathe.But when she swiveled her head aside, she surprisedly saw many pergolas on the side, and she had no idea when those had been put there. The pergolas were laden with all descriptions of succulent plants. In the sunlight, they looked adora
Chapter 1063Looking at the plants, Scarlett got emotional.She hadn't expected that Raymond would keep the plants.She came out of her trance, looked at Raymond beside her, and smiled slightly. "Thank you."It was a big surprise.Raymond gazed at her, held her in his arms, and leaned his head on her shoulder. He looked at the colorful plants, asking, "What else do you want?"He paused and added before Scarlett could answer. "What about a baby?"Hearing this, Scarlett flushed. As she was about to say something, her phone rang.Raymond frowned, unhappy to be disturbed at such a romantic moment with Scarlett.Seeing Raymond's sullen face, Scarlett looked at him, curved her lips, and glanced at the caller's ID. Scarlett said, "It's Katherine."Having worked for Scarlett for many years, Katherine was a sensible secretary. Katherine had seldom contacted Scarlett when Scarlett was living in the Shaw Residence. Now Scarlett asked Katherine to manage Mornet. Katherine knew that Scarl
