Chapter 656She was afraid she would lose her temper and scold Dario. In that case, Dario would probably quit his job.Scarlett and Alexis hadn't dined out together for some time. It happened to be lunchtime when they finished the meeting. Alexis heard about a new restaurant specializing in seafood in the neighborhood.Scarlett did not drive today, so she and Alexis borrowed Rylie's car to go out.The restaurant was not far away, and it was easy to find it.The environment was particularly good and could match its high price.When they went in, they found a lot of customers here. But each table was separated. And there were even private booths, which was convenient for a big star like Alexis who needed some privacy.Alexis asked Rylie to make a reservation before she came in, so she and Scarlett were led directly to a quiet and secluded booth."It's been a long time since I last ate seafood!"Alexis flipped through the menu and wanted to order everything.Scarlett took a sip
Chapter 657Although Alexis was disgusted by Shaylee, she still enjoyed this meal. After all, this seafood meal was worth more than 4,000 dollars. She got the money's worth!Alexis felt it was so good to be friends with a rich woman like Scarlett!Before leaving, Alexis also took away fried rice with seafood. She said she brought Rylie it.Scarlett did not bother to expose Alexis's lie. It was just fried rice with seafood, and she could afford it.Just as they walked out of the restaurant after paying the bill, they were greeted by Shaylee, who was waiting for them. "Hello, Ms. Carter and Ms. Reed."Alexis didn't expect Shaylee to take the initiative to say hello. She looked at Shaylee and smiled. "I have not seen you in a while, Ms. Green. Your Twitter is quite eye-catching."Shaylee's face changed instantly, but she quickly calmed down. She didn't stay here and wait for them to quarrel. "Ms. Carter and Ms. Reed, I had dinner with my friend today, and I didn't expect to run int
Chapter 658Scarlett finished speaking and glanced at Alexis. "Let's go."Alexis could not help raising her hand to silently applaud. When she passed by Shaylee, she could not help but whisper, "Ms. Green, we actually don't know each other well. You don't need to say hello to us next time we meet."Shaylee was speechless. She did not want to say hello to them at all!Scarlett didn't care about Shaylee at all. She had a meeting this afternoon, so she went back to Mornet Corporation after sending Alexis back to Cloud Crain Vision Entertainment Co.After the meeting, she saw a few messages texted by Alexis."Ha-ha. Shaylee was the top trending topic on Twitter! She just tweeted and mentioned me, saying that she just had dinner with her friends.""Ha-ha. I replied, 'We are not friends. Ms. Green, please don't mention me.' Rylie said Shaylee's agent contacted her and asked me to send a tweet and say I made a joke.""Lettie, it is so funny. I'm looking forward to the day when Shay
Chapter 659Alexander didn't dare call Raymond to tell him about that. Thus, Scarlett didn't know that Shaylee had begged Alexander.When Scarlett and Raymond were eating, Alexis told Scarlett on WhatsApp that Shaylee's agent called Rylie many times, trying to soften Rylie up, but it didn't work. At last, Shaylee's agent threatened Rylie.Alexis recorded their conversation beside Rylie and sent it to Scarlett. Scarlett converted it into text. After reading it, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows.Shaylee's agent was a little too arrogant.Raymond cut up the steak and put it in front of her. Seeing that she was in a trance, Raymond asked, "What are you thinking?"Scarlett gave her phone to him. "When Alexis and I were having lunch today, we ran into an actress. We once participated in the same show. She happened to be under contract to Alexander's company.""Shaylee was eating with Adriel, the heir of New Island Real Estate. When we left, she reminded us not to spread it aroun
Chapter 660"It depends on what you want to do."Jean watched Raymond grow up, but she realized for the first time that he was so intimidating.Jean suddenly regretted that she had contacted Scarlett and came here today.She shouldn't have come or told Scarlett about that. She should have directly gone to Ryker!Now Raymond already knew it. He was prepared, so he was fearless.Thinking of this, Jean broke out in a cold sweat."You ... you still have to call me Mom!"Raymond didn't say anything. He stood there. His face was as cold as an ice sculpture.Jean gritted her teeth, took a look at Scarlett in the car, and left in her high heelsRaymond got back into the car and drove into the villa.After replying to Alexis' message, Scarlett looked up at his gloomy face. She raised her pretty eyebrows. "Did she threaten you?""Yes."It was the first time Raymond had been threatened.Scarlett thought for a moment. "Is she going to see Ryker?""Not necessarily.""Well, what did
Chapter 661When Scarlett opened her eyes, Raymond was answering the phone. His voice was not loud, but she was so thirsty that she woke up. She saw Raymond get out of bed with his phone and go out. The alarm clock next to her had been turned off by him.She propped herself up, asking Hilla to open the curtains.The sunlight beamed in. She raised her hand to protect her eyes, walking out in the slippers.Raymond was sitting on the sofa in the outer room. Hearing the sound, he gave her a look. "Did I wake you up?"Scarlett shook her head and said in a husky voice, "I want to drink water.""I'll pour it for you."He stood up and came up to her, rubbing her cheek.Scarlett watched him pull open the door and walk out. She couldn't help touching her face.Did Raymond think she was a child?He liked to pinch her cheek so much.The bright sunshine poured through the windows. The bedroom was lit up.Scarlett came out of her trance. She turned into the bathroom to wash up.When Sca
Chapter 662Sure enough, Raymond answered the phone a little faster than usual.Alexander proudly raised his eyebrows. "Raymond, I'm on a golf course with Stephen. Do you and Scarlett want to come over?"Raymond frowned disapprovingly. "We're at the stable.""I'll join you! I haven't gone riding for a long time. You didn't invite me!"Raymond snorted. "What for?"Alexander was speechless.So a single man didn't deserve to hang out with them, right?"Which stable? I'll come with Stephen!"It was so hot. Alexander didn't want to play golf anymore. It was great to go riding!Raymond looked at Scarlett beside him. "Alexander is coming over."Scarlett glanced up at him. "I'm not the owner of the stable. I can't stop Alexander from coming!""I can."Scarlett suddenly felt that Alexander was pitiful. "Never mind. It's fun to play with more people.""Okay."Raymond answered and then told Alexander their location on the phone.Alexander had thought since Raymond ignored him and
Chapter 663When Alexander and Stephen rode over, Scarlett and Raymond had ridden two laps.Scarlett glanced at the two of them. "Long time no see, Mr. Smith and Mr. James."Stephen nodded. "Long time no see.""It's been a long time! Scarlett, why do you look even more beautiful?"Just as Alexander said this, he felt a chill down his spine.He tilted his head, finding Raymond looking at him coldly.Alexander smiled awkwardly. "Raymond, don't misunderstand. I'm just complimenting Scarlett."Raymond didn't bother to pay attention to Alexander. Raymond glanced at Stephen with a nod.Alexander liked to join in the fun. Before Scarlett could say anything, he saw some people racing not far away and asked, "Scarlett, are you good at riding?"Alexander remembered what happened last night. He didn't know how to ask for Scarlett's mercy. Alexander suddenly had an idea. He thought if he could defeat Scarlett today, then Shaylee's matter would be solved easily.Alexander was proud of hi
