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
Chapter 262 After more than two hours of exercising and sweating, Scarlett was in a much better mood, "Let's stop talking. I wanna eat something now." "Oh, wait. Raymond's car accident has nothing to do with you, right?" "Right." Scarlett didn't even move her eyebrows. She was just giving back the words that she had heard before. And would this be too much for him? "I am done. You get lunch! I'm going to conclude filming in half a month. Wait for me to come back!" "Okay." Hanging up the phone, Scarlett picked up the jewelry box on the table and opened it. She looked at the bracelet inside and wanted to throw it away, but finally she closed the box. Why mustn't she throw it away? This was because she 'bought' it from him. Because of the photo which Alexander posted on his Status, news of Raymond's car accident was spread in their whole circle in less than a few hours. When Raymond was in the hospital these days, he received lots of flowers and fru
Chapter 263Alexander was kicked out directly by Raymond of his sick room. As for what Scarlett had said that day, nobody knew except Scarlett herself and Raymond.Raymond had been hospitalized for ten days, during which a lot of people had visited him, including those who were not supposed to pay a visit. Of course, all credits went to Alexander's updates on WhatsApp.However, the person Raymond wanted to see most hadn't come.It had been raining a lot in March in Juanton City. After being discharged from the hospital, the first thing Raymond did was to ask Frank about whether Centel had found investors or not.Frank was surprised about the question. Luckily, as a diligent and cautious secretary, he kept an eye on everything related to Raymond, no matter how small it was.Last month, Raymond asked him to make an appointment with Mr. Woods from Centel. Raymond hadn't said what it was about, but he had asked his assistant to pay attention to Centel just to play safe.When Raymond aske
