Chapter 471The weekend passed in the blink of an eye. Scarlett had two days of heavy exercise. If she hadn't set her alarm clock last night before going to bed, she would almost have been late for Mornet's morning meeting today.At eleven o'clock, Scarlett came out of the conference room and Katherine followed her. "Ms. Reed."Scarlett smiled and glanced at her, "What's wrong? Has the Lancelot family taken any action?"Scarlett still remembered the bet she made with Raymond."Not yet." Katherine shook her head. "I received a call from Juanton University. They invited you to Juanton University's anniversary celebration this Wednesday."Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "Decline it."She didn't like to participate in such high-profile events."Okay, Ms. Reed."The assistant came over with an invitation. "Katherine, Ms. Reed, this is an invitation from Juanton University."Scarlett took it. The invitation was written by the principal of Juanton University.After reading it, Scarlett
Chapter 472Scarlett was flattered. It was the 70th-anniversary celebration of Juanton University. There had been a great deal of publicity for it. Scarlett was a hot topic lately. If she went back to Juanton University, the media would naturally chase after her.Yet now Jepson guaranteed that no media would harass her.It seemed that Jepson thought a lot about them, although he invited her back to help her juniors at Juanton University.Since Jepson said that, Scarlett couldn't refuse him. "You are so considerate. I'll be there no matter what happens."Jepson was satisfied. "Great. I won't bother you anymore."Scarlett was admitted to Juanton University with the highest scores in her province. Juanton University was very proud of that.Scarlett won first place in the examination. Before the results came out, two top-ranked schools contacted her.Even though Juanton University was nice, Jepson knew that their school couldn't attract a top scorer.However, he had never expected
Chapter 473"The anniversary of Juanton University?Scarlett had just fastened her seat belt when she heard Raymond's words. She involuntarily lifted her eyebrows. "Uh-huh. Is there a problem?"Raymond shook his head. "I seem to have been invited as well."Scarlett swiveled her head aside to look sidelong at him. "What do you mean by 'seem to'?""I've received too many invitations."Scarlett snorted, "So you are really somebody, Mr. Shaw."Raymond reached out his hand and held hers. "When will you send an invitation to me who is somebody, Ms. Reed?"Scarlett was amused by his mock seriousness. "I'm on my way to dine with you, aren't I?"Raymond looked at her. The expression in his dark eyes flickered. "I'm expecting you to invite me to visit the Register Office with you. Of course, I can invite you if you want.""Are you suggesting I don't have enough money for that?"The service charge was only twelve bucks. Anybody could afford it.Scarlett was only playing along. It was
Chapter 474Before Alexander could finish his sentence, Raymond flatly rejected his request.The car door was pulled shut with a hard slam and with that the vehicle drove away from him. Barely three seconds later, the black sedan disappeared into view, leaving Alexander standing amid a cloud of dust."Unbelievable! This is just unbelievable!"Unable to take it lying down, Alexander pulled out his cellphone and was just about to order an Uber car to take him home to get his own car when suddenly something occurred to him, and then he dialed someone else's number.After hanging up, Alexander hurriedly took a taxi back home."Can you please drive a bit faster, bro?""How am I supposed to do that?! It's rush hour, sir!"Alexander let out a sigh, wondering if he would miss the good show.There was a red light ahead, and Raymond's car slowly came to a halt.He turned to look at Scarlet and explained, "Hone Hill is a race track of Juanton City. There's barely any traffic in that pla
Chapter 475In the dark, Scarlett flushed.The hum of insects could be heard from all sides. Scarlett was just about to ask Raymond why he had brought her to this spot when he suddenly put his hand over her eyes and, drawing her along with his other hand, said, "Come with me."Then he added in a low voice with a chuckle, "I'm not going to sell you, babe."Color suffused Scarlett's face at the sound of the word "babe". She felt lucky that despite the bright moon, Raymond couldn't see her face clearly due to the darkness of night."Okay."She made a response and obediently let him draw her forward.After progressing for another two minutes or so, Scarlett felt that they had walked into a wood. Raymond who had been leading her along halted and removed his hand from her eyes.Having been blindfolded for a while, Scarlett needed some time to let her eyes adjust, but even so, she still saw the spots of light in mid-air.Soon Scarlett's vision returned to normal. Looking at the swarm
Chapter 476Alexander stiffened momentarily, having a sense of foreboding that this was going to be a rough night.Scarlett had been standing right beside Raymond. Though Raymond hadn't put Alexander on speaker, she had still overheard most parts of their conversation.After he hung up, she smiled, "Let's go back."Raymond lowered his head and looked at her for a while before he agreed reluctantly, "Okay."Just now the mood had been perfect. How romantic the moment would have been if he had kissed her!He cursed Alexander inwardly.Scarlett looked at him, lowered her eyes and snickered.After walking a few paces, Scarlett paused and gave his hand a pull. "Raymond.""What's the matter?"He turned to look at her.Scarlett smiled, "I think I got bitten by a mosquito."With that she held out her hand and rolled up her sleeve to reveal her fair-skinned arm.Suspecting nothing, Raymond lowered his head to scrutinize her arm, but there was no mosquito bite on her snow-white arm.
Chapter 477The two of them had just returned to the race track when Alexander walked over. "Scarlett, Ray, where have you guys been?""We went to see fireflies."Scarlett told him the truth. Alexander did a double take and stealthily gave Raymond the thumbs-up.He felt that Alexander was quite savvy.But Raymond's eyes were frosty when he looked at Alexander. Recalling the phone call just now, Alexander felt a chill creeping down his back.At that moment, a sudden female voice was heard. "Mr. Shaw, Mr. Smith, long time no see."The girl was heavily made up and wearing hot pants, but Scarlett could tell that the woman was sexy and pretty, for her ample bosom was difficult to ignore, and her long slender legs beneath her hot pants were even more conspicuous.The woman waved at them, and her smile fleetingly froze as her eyes rested on Scarlett. "You must be Ms. Reed."The woman held out her hand to Scarlett and introduced herself. "I'm Aggy Lea. I've heard a lot about you, Ms.
Chapter 478Alexander thought, 'These two are so scary. Why do they both like looking at people in such a creepy way?'Raymond ignored Aggy, lowered his head and asked Scarlett if she would like to give it a try."I don't think Ms. Reed has the guts to do that, Mr. Shaw. You're scaring her."Aggy, unreconciled to the situation, walked over and spoke again.But this time Raymond did not so much as glance at her.Scarlett smiled, "Okay."It had never crossed Aggy's mind that Scarlett would agree. Her face stiffened momentarily. She then snatched a helmet from the hand of the man beside her. "How about we have a race, Mr. Shaw? It's been quite a while since our last race, right?"Without even giving her a glance, Raymond kicked Alexander's leg and said, "Go and find Scarlett a helmet for me.""Oh, okay."Soon Alexander returned with a helmet, a pinkish one.Scarlett took the helmet and thanked him. She was just about to put it on when she observed that Aggy was eyeing her with
