Chapter 195Scarlett paused and looked at Jadon with a smile, "Ha! I'm coming to thank you for your gorgeous gift, Mr. Hudson. That's the best present I've ever received! Of course, I have to give you a present in return.""I suppose you should have a lot of antiques in your study, right?"After a short pause, she chuckled, "I'll get rid of them all for you today. I don't think these items were good enough for you."At the same time, the rest of the Hudson family who had been in the card rooms also came out. Seeing the debris on the floor, Hudson's third daughter squawked, "Gosh! What happened? That's dad's favorite vase!"Hearing that, Scarlett glanced at that girl, and her smile broadened, "Seriously? It seems that I have a good eye."After that, she went upstairs with that bat.Hudson was a local despot in his early years. Later, he tried to whitewash what he had done. But he was just a cowardly bully all these years.At first, he thought Scarlett was a pushover. But he didn'
Chapter 196Jadon asked someone to make trouble for her. Did he pick a good day?Scarlett let out a laugh. "It's good to call the police. Then let the police handle this matter."Since she dared to come here, she knew the consequences.She would only lose some money, but Jadon was different. Scarlett had a lot of evidence to put Jadon behind bars.Jadon, who had calmed down, came forward. "Ms. Reed, I don't understand what you mean. I think there must be some misunderstanding between us!""Make tea for Ms. Reed and Mr. Shaw."Jadon walked towards Raymond with a smile. "Mr. Shaw, I think there must be some misunderstanding between me and Ms. Reed! I won't blame anyone for what happened tonight. We can sit down and clear the air.""Dad! How could there be any misunderstanding! She ruined our house! Look at your pipe and your vase!"Jadon glared at his youngest daughter and turned to look at Scarlett. "Ms. Reed, what do you think?"Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "There's no misunde
Chapter 197Jadon's daughters tried to stop Scarlett, but they were all scared after being glared at by Jadon.Scarlett only stayed here for half an hour but made a mess of the place.Jadon watched Scarlett's back as she went down the stairs. His eyes narrowed slightly.He finally realized Scarlett was not a meek lamb.The sound of the car's engine soon came from outside. Scarlett and Raymond had already left.Jadon looked back at his study, gritting his teeth. He could only swallow his anger.Except for Raymond, Scarlett had the evidence that could send Jadon to prison and ruin the Hudson family.Jadon was fifty-eight. He was not young. He had six children. He had to think for them.The older people got, the less courageous they were. They became cowards and afraid of death.Jadon's third daughter came running back from the balcony. "Dad! Who the hell is that woman? Is she crazy? Why don't you allow me to call the police?"Jadon glanced at his children and their spouses. "D
Chapter 198Although she wanted to keep away from him, he gave her his blessing. It would be impolite if she ignored him.After saying that, Scarlett pushed open the door and got out of the car.Raymond also got out of the car and handed the box to her again. "It's not expensive. Even if I'm a stranger to you, I can give it to you, right?"Scarlett looked down at the box with a faint smile. "Yes, but I can refuse it."She swiped the key card and stepped in her boots into the hall.Raymond stood in the doorway without following her. He watched her through the door.Before entering the elevator, Scarlett glanced out the door.Raymond was still standing there. The dim street light beamed down on his face. His cold eyes were profound like an ocean.Scarlett was stunned. The elevator slowly opened in front of her. She withdrew her gaze and walked in.Her heart lurched.Watching Scarlett enter the elevator, Raymond looked down at the box in his hand.He didn't lie to Scarlett. It
Chapter 199Scarlett slept until eleven o'clock the next day. She opened her eyes. Sunlight came in through a chink in the curtains.She squinted and subconsciously said, "Hilla, open the window". Sitting for a moment, Scarlett remembered that she was now in Chatbury City, not Juanton City.She was a little uncomfortable with this.It was colder in Chatbury City than in Juanton City. It was a rare sunny day. The sun was shining brightly.Scarlett ate a bowl of noodles and took a book, sitting in the rocking chair on the balcony while reading.It was quite pleasant.The day passed quickly. Alexis had to start acting in a TV drama tomorrow. Before boarding the plane, she said a lot to Scarlett on the phone.Finally, Alexis, who was always carefree, asked, "How come you replied to my message so late last night?"Scarlett was flipping through a book. She paused. "I was looking for a taxi.""You didn't find a taxi in more than half an hour? Do you have another sweetie? Otherwise,
Chapter 200Scarlett glanced at her phone and arched her eyebrows slightly. She thought about it and called Katherine.She would like to return to Juanton City in two days.The day before she returned to Juanton City, she drove around Chatbury City.Her house had been pulled down. She hadn't gotten much compensation. It was about 200,000 dollars in total. That place had become a business district. The apartments nearby were about 7000 to 8000 dollars per square meter.It was sunny in Chatbury City recently. She parked the shared car and wanted to have lunch in a historic shop.After Hometown Day, several shops were opened along the street. Scarlett chose one and walked in.The shop was run by an old couple. There were no other customers inside.Scarlett ate lunch and walked back along the river.It was windy. When she was a middle school student, her father took her home by bike every week. They didn't have much money at that time. After they bought the house, they couldn’t af
Chapter 201The loudspeaker reminded passengers to fasten their seat belts. The plane would take off soon.Scarlett wore a patch and earplugs. She closed her eyes and kept silent.Raymond looked at her and became gentler. When the flight attendants passed, he became cold as usual.The flight was about two hours. After the plane took off for half an hour, the flight attendants started to distribute food.Scarlett had fallen asleep. When a flight attendant pushed the cart towards them, Raymond beckoned to the flight attendant. The flight attendant felt confused at first. Then she reacted, nodded awkwardly and skipped Scarlett.The plane landed at 1 p.m. Scarlett put away her patch and earplugs. She walked off the plane.The airport was bustling with people. Scarlett looked at Raymond who was in front and arched her eyebrows subconsciously.'I didn't expect Raymond to be so idle. He stayed in Chatbury City with me for so many days.''Didn't he even have no time to come home to ha
Chapter 202Alexander cared about his appearance very much from childhood. Hearing what Raymond had said, he lost his interest in teasing Raymond and asked, "Do you also think that I have put on weight?"He felt confused and said, "I haven't put on much weight. Why do all of you ask me that question?"Raymond sneered, "If you knew it, you wouldn't ask me like that."Alexander was stuck for words. He said, "So what? Even if I have put on weight, it won't influence my appearance."Raymond said, "You're right. It won't make any difference. You're as ugly as before. At least it will reduce the pain if someone beats you since you have put on weight."Alexander reacted and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Tell me how Scarlett refused you."'I will be happy to hear that.'Of course, Alexander didn't have the guts to say so in front of Raymond. Otherwise, his destination would be the hospital, not his home.Raymond kept silent and looked at him coldly.Alexander wussed out and looked out
