Chapter 254Ever since learning that Raymond fell in love with Scarlett, Alexander had seen Raymond eat his words many times. Alexander was almost used to it.Stephen smiled. "Scarlett was awesome."Alexander echoed, "Indeed."Who would have thought that she would turn the table in just half a year?Scarlett taught Cindy patiently and gently. Stephen had taught Cindy to play golf several times but failed. However, Scarlett made it.Cindy even hit the ball into the hole twice.Cindy was so happy that she ran to her brother to show off. "Stephen! I hit two holes within half an hour! I've learned how to play it! Look! It's not my problem at all. You didn't teach me well! Scarlett is different. As soon as she taught me, I learned it!"Cindy was attracted to Scarlett's beauty. After getting along with her, Cindy found that Scarlett was friendly. She was fascinated by Scarlett.While showing off, Cindy couldn't help praising Scarlett.Stephen looked at Scarlett. "Thank you."As Ci
Chapter 255The menu was filled with delicacies, which were all sold for thousands of dollars. It could be seen that people who came to this restaurant were either wealthy or powerful.Scarlett had been in Juanton City for so long. If not for Alexander, she wouldn't have known such a place.A dish was sold for thousands of dollars. To be honest, even if she was rich, Scarlett was unwilling to pay for it.Yet this was Alexander's treat.The name of every dish was as graceful as that of the restaurant. And there were detailed descriptions of the dishes so that the customers wouldn't be puzzled.Although the dishes were expensive, the ingredients were worth it.They were a group of five. Six dishes and one soup were enough.Since Scarlett and Raymond were divorced, she didn't look like a material woman anymore. Alexander and the others were friendlier to her than before. Cindy had been charmed by her face for many years. Now she was able to get close to Scarlett. Naturally, she wa
Chapter 256Just after turning a corner, they ran into a few acquaintances.Of course, they were Raymond's acquaintances, not Scarlett's.Scarlett subconsciously slowed down her pace, trying to distance herself from Raymond.To be honest, she didn't want to meet this person.Yvonne greeted Stephen and Alexander.After that, she looked at Raymond. "Raymond, long time no see."Raymond glanced at Yvonne, grunted nonchalantly, and inclined his head to look at Scarlett who was deliberately lagging behind them. "What's wrong?"He frowned slightly. His cold eyes were instantly filled with concern.Yvonne looked over. When she saw Scarlett, the smile on her face became meaningful. "Mrs. Shaw. Oops, I forgot it. You're already divorced, Ms. Reed. Long time no see."Although Yvonne was smiling, everyone present could hear the sarcasm in her voice.Of course, she was taunting Scarlett. Yvonne had chased Raymond for so many years, but he married Scarlett, a poor woman.This made Yvonne
Chapter 257"Yvonne!"People in the same circle would never embarrass each other, let alone say something horrible like that.Yvonne only said that because she thought that Scarlett was of inferior birth and that there was no need for her to be agreeable to Scarlett.Raymond's gruff voice calmed Yvonne down, but she couldn't let it go, "Did I say something wrong? If she had wanted to leave you then, she would have left Juanton City and married a man she deserved! But in reality, she appears by your side from time to time. Can't you tell she's playing hard to get with you?""Hard to get?" Scarlett chuckled and glanced at Yvonne.Then she stared at Raymond and said word by word, "Do you remember what I asked Secretary Lewis to tell you the day we got divorced, Raymond?""It doesn't matter if you have forgotten. I'll refresh your memory."Scarlett then repeated her exact words, "Since we are divorced, it's better to pretend we don't know each other in the future.""I have always f
Chapter 258Alexander was one of those people, and he felt ashamed after knowing the truth.Scarlett kept quiet about several things, presumably because she didn't think it was necessary.Alexander, as a bystander, felt injustice for her."You've got it wrong, Yvonne. It was Ray who had been pestering Scarlett and wanted to remarry. You're mistaken about Scarlett. She didn’t play hard-to-get or pester Ray!""Bear in mind, judge yourself before you judge others. Who do you think you are? How dare you call Scarlett that?"Alexander was always polite to women. But this time he really felt unfair to Scarlett and that was why he said such harsh words to Yvonne.Yvonne went rigid with shock, thinking Scarlett's words, "You don't deserve me."She was so embarrassed by Alexander's words that she could not speak. When her friend defended her, Alexander snapped back.Afraid of the Smith family's clout, her friends finally dared not say anything and pulled her to leave.Only then did Cin
Chapter 259Slowly his hand relaxed its grip. Scarlet got his hand off and then walked to the parking lot. Ten months had passed by. She thought she had let it go. Actually she hadn't. And the emotions were stirred up by a few words of Yvonne. She found that she did blame him. If he had helped her once in those three years, she wouldn't have had a hard time.He never once did that. People should look ahead. Those who looked back went down. Therefore, she didn't want to look back. She got in the car but did not go immediately. From other people's eyes, she was calm and self-controlled. Only she knew that she felt terribly sad. Alexis made a voice call to her, but she didn't want to pick up. She was afraid that her bad mood would be smelled by Alexis. It was so quiet in her narrow car that she couldn't help recalling what she said to Raymond just now. She had a brilliant memory and remembered every word. She didn't think he was not good enough for her. She
Chapter 260'How could he get into a car accident?'"Okay. I'll be there in fifteen minutes!"Alexander didn't expect Raymond to get into a car accident. Hearing the other party's words, he thought that the car accident seemed to be quite serious.He hurriedly put on the shoes that he had just taken off. Mrs. Seward said to him with the dessert, "Mr. Smith, why are you in such a hurry? Would you like some dessert first?""Mrs. Seward. You can go to bed! Something has happened to my friend. I'm going to the hospital now!"As soon as he finished speaking, he drove out of the garage slowly.Alexander drove to the entrance of the hospital quickly. It was late at night, and the hospital was very silent.Getting out of the car, he ran straight to the operating room. A man stood outside the operating room, holding Raymond's phone. Seeing Alexander, he said, "Hello, Mr. Smith. I'm Kevin March. Mr. Shaw is having surgery."Alexander felt a little confused, "How is he?""The doctor sai
Chapter 261Scarlett didn't sleep well all night. When she woke up the next day, the phone on her nightstand kept ringing.Scarlett had a headache and was in a bad mood.She reached out to pick up her phone. There were already more than 100 messages in WhatsApp. She tapped in and found that many of them were from Alexis, while a few of them were from Cindy.Scarlett sent a message to Cindy, "It's okay". Then she opened the chat box with Alexis.Some of the messages were sent last night. The latest message was sent twenty minutes ago. Unlike those gloating words, it seemed to be sent carefully, "Are you okay?"After a quick browse, Scarlett learned that Raymond had a car accident last night. Alexander posted it on the Status. Everyone in the circle knew about it. Now people in the Juanton City who knew Raymond had knew that he was in a car accident last night.A car accident was an ordinary thing. But the person who was in the accident was Raymond. What's more, Alexander explaine
