Chapter 187It was not snowing that day but it was windy, so Scarlett did not stay long in the cemetery and drove away after she finished pizza.It was quiet in the street. Scarlett drove very slowly like a turtle moving tardily on the road.Once she parked the car, she got a call from Alexis.Looking up at the gloomy sky, Scarlett put the hand back, the one with which she was going to push the door open. "Don't you enjoy the lovers' world?" she said.Alexis had been calling her frequently, but wasn't she worried if Justin got jealous?Alexis sneered, "Lettie, don't you know that you are my only true love? I just worry about you for the weather is terrible. How about coming over and having hotpot with us?"Scarlett smiled, "Does it make me too ungrateful if I say no?""Uh, can you bear to see my heart broken?""Honestly, I can."But..."I don't know what I am going to have for dinner tonight, so I might stop by because of your hospitality.""Cool. I'll take my leave to prepare the food
Chapter 188"Miss. I can't accept it. Just keep it. I know young people have many friends. You can invite your friends to come to visit this beautiful city, Chatbury City. You can give this card to your friends!"Scarlett smiled and put it directly on the chair in front of the security guard. "I have a lot of this kind of card. They will go to waste if nobody uses them.""Well, then thank you."Scarlett said no more. She took the small gift and walked into the neighborhood.Building C was in the south of the neighborhood, so Scarlett needed to walk for a while. It was windy at sunset. Scarlett pulled her scarf to cover her mouth. Just as she turned a corner, an older woman suddenly asked her, "Are you Scarlett?"The woman in front of Scarlet was not a stranger. She was Mrs. Wilson, who had been Scarlett's neighbors for eighteen years. Although they had not met for almost ten years, Scarlett still recognized Mrs. Wilson immediately.Scarlett paused. "Happy Hometown Day, Mrs. W
Chapter 189Just as Scarlett rang the doorbell, the door was opened. Alexis pushed the door aside and walked up to give Scarlett a big hug.Scarlett stood in the doorway and looked down at Alexis with a smile, asking, "Are you celebrating Children's day instead of Hometown Day? Silly girl."Alexis snorted. "You are so heartless and cold!"Scarlett raised her eyebrows and handed the bag she was carrying to Alexis.Alexis, who complained about Scarlett just now, took the bag and spun around with excitement. "Oh my God, Burberry limited Cube Bag! I love you, Lettie! I love this gift! I'll give you a kiss."Scarlett raised her hand to shield her face. "Just save it for Justin."When hearing Justin's name, Alexis, who was crazy about the bag, finally calmed down a little bit. "What do you want to drink? Fruit juice or soy milk? The latter was freshly ground! It smells good and tastes delicious!"Scarlett sat down on the sofa. She then looked up at Alexis with a faint smile, but she
Chapter 190Scarlett was moved by the lovey-dovey couple. She drank two glasses of red wine.The three of them talked until eleven o'clock. Seeing Scarlett yawning, Alexis stopped talking to ask, "Do you want to sleep over here tonight?""No. I will be sleepless at your home.""Fine. We'll walk you downstairs.""No, you don't have to. You'd better wash up and go to bed now. Tomorrow is your last day of vacation. Have fun."Alexis signed. She had to start shooting a TV drama the day after tomorrow.Scarlett glanced at Justin. "Let's go."Justin and Alexis walked her to the elevator. It was deep at night, and there was no sign of anybody.Scarlett drank tonight, so she couldn't drive anymore.She took out her phone to call an Uber, but no one took her order.After all, it was a small city, and it was Hometown Day. Therefore, no Uber drivers were willing to make money tonight. Scarlett put away her phone and intended to walk to the nearby square to see if she could hail a tax
Chapter 191Raymond heard a sound from behind. He froze for a moment and turned around. To his surprise, Scarlett did not leave. Instead, she threw her bag to the bus stop sign and then flexed her hands."Scarlett?"The five men stepped closer. Raymond shielded Scarlett and took another step back, frowning in disbelief.Scarlett gave him a look. "Don't worry. I am just warming up. I haven't practiced wrestling for a long time."Just as she finished her words, those men swung their bats at them. Raymond said nervously, "Watch out!"He wanted to pull Scarlett away, but he found that Scarlett lifted her leg and kicked a man to the ground.When Raymond was stunned, he heard the whistle of a bat. He reacted quickly and tilted his head to avoid the attack of the man in front of him. He grabbed the bat with the other hand and pulled it hard. The man was off balance and fell to his side. Raymond raised his leg immediately and kicked the man on the ground.There were five men in total.
Chapter 192Hearing this, Raymond, who was also tall, frowned, "I'm 1.93 meters tall."It worked.Scarlett stunned and praised curtly, "Wow, how tall you've grown!"Then she walked to the roadside with the baseball bat and waited for the taxi.Raymond was displeased at her insincere praise and followed her, "Where are you going?"Scarlett turned to look at him, "Listen, I'm not in the mood, Raymond. Don't make me lose my temper with you."She had no idea if she would do something crazy if he kept bothering her.Raymond knew why Scarlett was in a bad mood. Scarlett's former neighbor poured out everything after accepting the money.The day of Scarlett's parents' accident was the second day of the Hometown Day. They went to visit Scarlett's grandma. On their way back, to avoid an old man running a red light, they were crushed by a truck and killed on the spot.Actually, Scarlett suffered a lot while she was fostered at her grandma's home because her grandma preferred boys to girl
Chapter 193It was hard to hail a taxi on holidays. Scarlett couldn't get a taxi after waiting for 5 minutes.Raymond looked at the baseball bat in her hand and asked her, "Are you going to the Hudson family?"Hearing that, Scarlett turned to look at him, "Ah-huh?"The people of the Hudson family had chosen the day when Scarlett was in a bad temper to provoke her.Since they dared to treat Scarlett like this, she would not be polite to them. Also, she wouldn't let them enjoy this holiday.Normally, Scarlett would have endured and plotted her vengeance when she faced this sort of thing.At that time, however, all she wanted was revenge at once, and no one could stop her.Before the divorce, Raymond thought Scarlett was a scheming, snobby, and greedy woman. But after they got divorced, he thought she was an authoritative and decisive woman.Scarlett could be multifaceted, such as gentle, quiet, aggressive, wayward, and cute, all of which he had seen.Before that night, Raymond l
Chapter 194It was just 12. The Hudson family's villa was lively, and everyone was playing poker.When they heard the doorbell, Jadon's second daughter said it must have been a drunk who rang the doorbell by mistake.But Jadon's third daughter said, "It might be that guy from Lancelot's family. He has feelings for our little sister. He's trying to win her heart!"Men and women were not in the same card room.Jadon had three sons and three daughters. Among them, two sons and two daughters already had their own families. Therefore, the Hudson family was naturally very lively during the festival.Women were gossiping, and men didn't take the doorbell seriously. The butler went to the gate immediately when he heard the doorbell.It was bitterly cold, so Scarlett reached up to tighten the scarf. Looking at the man who came out of the darkness, she raised her eyebrows slightly.The butler soon went to the gate and asked gently, "Your surname, please.""Shaw.""Reed."Scarlett said
