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
Chapter 479With a loud rumble, the two sport cars shot ahead in unison.Aggy kept accelerating as if she had a death wish.Scarlett glanced at Raymond sitting beside her. He showed no inclination to overtake Aggy.This was Scarlett's first time sitting in a car moving so fast. She felt thrilled, but she didn't say anything lest Raymond be distracted.Raymond was driving fast as well, following Aggy's car, maintaining a distance of twenty or thirty meters.Having noticed that Raymond's car was only twenty or thirty meters behind hers, Aggy couldn't help but put on another spurt.She did not believe that Raymond would admit defeat!However, she still underestimated how much Scarlett meant to Raymond. Merely seconds after picking up speed, Aggy found the car behind her disappearing from view.Scarlett, watching the car in front of them shrinking into the distance, couldn't help but lift her eyebrows.After hurtling along the winding mountainous road for almost ten minutes, they
Chapter 480Raymond didn't call her out on her lie. "It's getting late. Let's go back."They had meant for this to be a short outing, but now it was past nine o'clock.The black sedan slowly drove towards the heart of downtown. The traffic was much lighter than it had been during daytime. Their trip back to the downtown area was unimpeded, and it took them only twenty minutes or so.There was an intersection ahead, and the traffic light was red. Raymond stopped the car and turned to look at Scarlett. "Would you like some midnight snack?"Scarlett shook her head. "No."Then she added with a yawn, "I'm a bit sleepy."She had spent the whole day in Mornet Corporation without a midday snooze, and now it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, so Scarlett began to feel drowsy."I see."Raymond made a response and drove into another lane towards Scarlett's mansion.It was ten o'clock when they returned to the mansion. Scarlett nearly fell asleep in the car. After stopping the car at
Chapter 481Scarlett had originally intended to go to Juanton University with Justin on the day of the anniversary celebration, but Raymond was an alumnus and had been invited as well. He wanted her to go there with him, so eventually she had to go with Raymond.Jepson Wooden, the principal, when told that Raymond would attend this year's anniversary celebration of Juanton University, suspected that he was too old to hear people correctly.The Shaw family had made their fortune when Raymond's grandfather was the patriarch. After the Shaw family became rich, Raymond's grandfather had donated a lot of supplies and money to Juanton University.Afterward his grandfather had died, and Raymond had taken over Tenton and become the head of the Shaw family. Every year Raymond had his secretary wire five million dollars into the account of Juanton University as a donation.Therefore, every year Jepson had his subordinate send a digital invitation to Raymond's secretary's email box and a pap
Chapter 482But the two of them both pretended not to know each other and made each other's acquaintance once again with Jepson as their introducer.Scarlett, sitting on the side and watching, smiled and picked up the teapot from the table. "Mr. Wooden, would you please give this a try and see if my tea-making skill has improved?"After hearing her words, Vernon next to them had no choice but to withdraw his hand.Jepson glanced at Scarlett. "Sure, sure! It's been four or five years since your graduation, but you guys never came back to see me or my old buddies until this day. Merely sending us gifts hasn't done any good."Jepson feigned displeasure, but he had a beaming smile on his face. He shifted his gaze to Raymond. "Mr. Shaw, that's no way to treat your principal or teacher. Am I right?"Raymond swiveled his head aside to glance at Scarlett who was filtering tea leaves beside him. The look in his dark eyes flickered as he replied, "I think Scarlett has missed you guys, or s
