She loved him to the core, and from the age of four, a name called Neil Davis took residence in her heart. For the sake of his precarious career, she even went so far as to bear children for the unfamiliar Wilson couple. Twenty years of silent devotion led to him kneeling before another woman, promising her a lifetime commitment. No one knew she was the other half on his marriage certificate, trapped in a marriage that existed only in name for many years. "Neil, you'll never know what I've sacrificed for loving you!" "Then never tell me." With that, he coldly walked away, leaving her to sit alone in the living room until dawn. It was her twenty-fourth birthday, and the divorce agreement and a five million dollar check were his gifts to her. * Married for six years, she never imagined that one day, while he indulged in passion with his "fiancée" in bed, she would be curled up in the wardrobe, losing her virginity beneath another man! She was completely naked, while the man was impeccably dressed in a suit. He forced her to peer through the crack to witness the frenzied scene on the bed. "Same position, same frequency. Guess, between him and me, who will climax first?" The man's tone was serious, and under her startled gaze, he thrust even harder, penetrating deeper. "I love you, Neil!" She bit her lip tightly, but the ecstatic cries of Neil's "fiancée" from outside the wardrobe blurred her vision. Life is so ironic— While he was making love to other women, she was hiding in the closet having an affair with that woman's uncle, Mr. Wilson. After the divorce, a child in a little suit, resembling herself and Mr. Wilson, barged into her peaceful life.

The door was forcefully pushed open by a drunken middle-aged man. He turned back anxiously, 'Darling...'
A young woman stood at the door, dressed in a fiery red deep V-neck off-shoulder dress that accentuated her graceful figure. Her long, black straight hair was casually tied up, and her delicate features adorned with light makeup exuded a playful charm in her laziness.
'Darling, come in quickly...' The man swallowed saliva and reached out to embrace the woman.
The woman skillfully evaded, leaning against the entrance. She threw a seductive glance at the man, 'Mr. Williams, why so impatient?'
The man known as ' Mr. Williams ' rubbed his hands together, approaching with a lustful gaze, 'Isn't it because Assistant Scarlett is too charming? You know very well... Little enchantress, you've been missed!'
The woman smiled at him and slowly retreated into the room, ' Mr. Williams, shouldn't you take a bath first?'
Mr. Williams realized, pointing at the woman with a smirk, 'You naughty thing!'
'So, Mr. Williams, are you going to take a bath or not?'
'Yes, of course!' Mr. Williams, afraid of her changing her mind, rushed into the bathroom.
Soon, sounds of water flowing and cheerful whistling echoed from the bathroom.
The smile on the woman's face immediately disappeared. She stared at the bathroom door, took out a miniature camera from her long wallet, quickly placed it between the seams of the ashtray and desk lamp, and then removed the clip from her hair, letting her waist-length hair cascade down.
In less than ten minutes, Mr. Williams dashed out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, 'Darling, I'm here!'
' Mr. Williams, if you don't go home tonight, will Mrs. Williams worry?' The woman sat on the edge of the bed, one hand supporting her head, the other shaking the wine glass in her hand. Her slender, fair legs were crossed beneath the hem of her skirt, and her ink-black hair gleamed in the soft light.
'She worries about what!' Mr. Williams disdainfully spat, then pleasingly approached, 'Little darling...'
The woman gave him a disdainful look, 'I heard that Mr. Williams went through a lot of trouble to win over Mrs. Williams back then!'
'Little darling, jealous?' Mr. Williams chuckled, 'If it weren't for the old man saying that only by becoming the son-in-law of their family could I take over the company, do you think I would fancy that old hag?'
'If one day I become that old hag, Mr. Williams probably won't want to look at me again.'
'Oh, come on, Granny Scarlett, don't you know you're the apple of my eye? Whatever you like, even if it's the stars in the sky, I, Mr. Williams, will pick them for you...'
"Is that so?" A teeth-gritting female voice suddenly echoed in the suite.
Mr. Williams shuddered, turned around, and indeed, the suite's door was wide open. A well-rounded middle-aged woman, holding a Pomeranian, walked in under the escort of two tall and imposing bodyguards, 'James Williams, you're in trouble!'
...
Ten minutes later, cries of begging echoed from the presidential suite.
In the corridor, Mrs. Williams handed a folder to Assistant Scarlett with a smiling face, 'Miss Scarlett White, this is the contract we agreed upon.'
The woman who was caught in the act with Mr. Williams in the suite took the contract, quickly flipped through it, and handed a miniature camera to Mrs. Williams after confirming, 'With this, divorce shouldn't be difficult.'
"Assistant Scarlett, you've thought this through, or else I really don't know how to deal with this scoundrel!"
"It's my duty." Scarlett White holding the documents, turned to leave.
However, Mrs. Williams stopped her, "Assistant Scarlett, there's something I'm not sure if I should say..."
Scarlett White turned around.
"You're just Mr. Neil Davis's assistant, is it worth making such a sacrifice?"
Scarlett White paused for a moment, then looked at Mrs. Williams, lips curving into a faint smile, "It's worth it."

Davis Mansion
'Miss White, you're back?'
Scarlett White had just pushed open the door when the maid from the Davis family greeted her.
'Miss White, wait a moment, let me get your cotton slippers!'
'No need for that...'
'Bang!'
Before Scarlett White could finish her sentence, there was a loud sound of a teacup being heavily placed on the table inside the room.
Sitting on the living room sofa was a dignified and cold-faced old lady. When Scarlett White looked over, the old lady was retracting her hand adorned with a golden bracelet. A few water stains splattered on the coffee table, and the maid immediately rushed over to clean up, 'Madam, is the tea too hot?'
Seeing the old lady stand up, Scarlett White called out softly, 'Grandmother.'
'Who is your grandmother?' The old lady gave her a cold glance and walked upstairs.
Scarlett White awkwardly stood there.
The maid couldn't bear it, stepped forward, and supported Davis's old lady, 'Madam, you were just saying that the laptop crashed and couldn't be opened. Since Miss White is here, why not let her take a look!'
'Is there a problem with the computer? I can help you...'
The old lady's cold voice interrupted Scarlett White, 'If you didn't come home, my computer might be fine.'
'Madam...'
'You shut up!' Davis's old lady glared fiercely at the maid, 'Do you think she hasn't caused enough trouble for our Davis family? If you find this job too leisurely, I don't mind hiring a new maid tomorrow.'
After speaking, Davis's old lady shook off the maid's hand, used a cane to go upstairs, murmuring in the stairwell.
'What prosperity and wealth, it's simply a reincarnation of disaster, destroying our Davis family...'
Scarlett White stood in the entrance, holding a folder. The night breeze blowing through the open door made her spine chill. She had gotten used to hearing such words over the past few years, but every time she heard them, it still made her uncomfortable.
The maid looked at her slender figure, feeling pity, and brought a pair of cotton slippers, 'Miss White, change into some shoes first. It's late, and wearing sandals, your toes must be freezing, right?'
'I'm fine.' Scarlett White smiled slightly at the housekeeper and looked into the room, 'Why haven't I seen Mom?'
'Mrs. Davis went to Mrs. Wilson's house to play mahjong. By the way, the young master came back from Germany this afternoon.'
'Neil is back?'
'But he just went out again. The luggage is still there!' The maid pointed to a corner of the living room.
Scarlett White turned her head, and a black suitcase lay quietly there, as if it had been turned over, the zipper was open, and a shirt and trousers were peeking out.
'Look at me, busy making supper and forgot to pack for the young master...'
However, Scarlett White stopped the maid who was about to tidy up the suitcase, 'I'll do it.'
The maid smiled and agreed, and Scarlett White's cheeks felt a little warm. She went to squat down next to the suitcase, opened it, and lifted a shirt to fold. Suddenly, with a "pop," a blue velvet box fell to the ground.
Scarlett White picked it up and opened it to reveal a diamond pendant sparkling with brilliance, round and hollow, in the shape of the sun.
When Scarlett White looks the most beautiful is undoubtedly the moment she lowers her eyelashes and smiles gently. Fifteen-year-old Scarlett White, in her school uniform, holding a violin, stands on the tree-lined path. Her slender and delicate body, jet-black long hair, and clean skin so fair it seems to have a pearl-like luster in the sunlight, with no visible pores. She looks at him from a distance, shyly and quietly smiling, with shallow dimples on her cheeks. Over the past five years, in countless midnight dreams, Neil Davis has awakened to find himself surrounded by naked women with heavy makeup in bed. He doesn't experience physical satisfaction; instead, there's only a sense of emptiness and a growing resentment. That innocent girl, Scarlett White, has long since become tainted, dirty to the point where he wishes he could strangle her with his own hands! Yet, he is unwilling to divorce. Yes, unwilling. Even though he despises touching her, he cannot let her go. If Scarle
Many lovers, after the tempering of the necessities of life, become resentful partners.Scarlett White believes that she and Neil Davis belong to the kind who have already despised each other before they even start to be affectionate. The years of their relationship feel like a tasteless chicken rib to her – neither enjoyable nor easy to give up."Finally got through the morning, Scarlett, let's have lunch together!"Cherry, another executive assistant, closed a folder and called out to Scarlett.Scarlett gathered her wandering thoughts, tidied up a bit, and went to the restaurant with Cherry.During lunchtime, many employees were dining in the restaurant.Just as Scarlett White and Cherry sat down in a corner, a small commotion occurred at the restaurant entrance."Who's the new employee from which department, so beautiful?"The surprised voices of nearby employees also made Scarlett White look up.When she saw Lily White standing at the entrance, she couldn't fake her astonishment,
Neil Davis was already a prominent figure in the school when he entered the ninth grade, surrounded by beautiful girls. Although he didn't like Scarlett White, every time he went out on a date with a girl, he would bring Scarlett White along as a shield to prevent his grandfather from becoming suspicious of his intentions.When Scarlett White entered the seventh grade, she attended the same middle school as Neil Davis.Upon entering school, Neil Davis became the most frequently heard name for her.Raised by her grandmother and living with her uncle's family since childhood, Scarlett White had a calm and quiet personality, perhaps mature beyond her years. As she grew older, her once innocent features gradually matured.Given Neil Davis's warning, she didn't disclose to any classmates that she was the adopted daughter of the Davis family and Neil Davis's future wife. With the grooming from Davis Grandfather and her involvement in various arts and studies, she became a renowned beauty an
The lady leaned against the car door and whistled, "Hey handsome, isn't it just five minutes? I've been waiting!"Scarlett White's fingertips embedded into her own palm, the pain making her temporarily forget the ache in her heart."Let go of me!" She reached out to push him away.However, Neil Davis grabbed her shoulder and forcefully dragged her to the corner."Who were you with last night?"Scarlett White met his cold and sharp gaze, self-mockingly smiling, "So, you still have time to care about me?""Someone saw you coming out of the police station this morning...""A man." Scarlett White interrupted him, her tone indifferent. "I was with a man last night."Neil Davis's face immediately darkened, and the grip on her shoulder gradually tightened, as if he wanted to crush it, "Who was it?""Anyway, you don't care, right?"Seeing his eyes turn crimson as he stared at her, Scarlett White finally felt a sense of relief from the discomfort. It was like a gratification after revenge. She
"What are you doing, fidgeting around? Slow down... Ouch!"Scarlett White dragged her aunt's arm and walked quite a distance away from the Davis Mansion's gate before letting go.Her uncle followed, grumbling as he chased after them.Over the years, Scarlett White had seen through the true colors of this couple. She turned away with a cold face, ready to leave.Aunt quickly blocked Scarlett White's path, "The matter hasn't been resolved yet. Where are you going?"The sharp voices clashed with the luxurious atmosphere of the community."I've told you many times not to come to Davis Mansion and disturb them.""Is this how you talk to your elders?" Uncle roared loudly, almost startling birds on the tree branches. He rolled up his sleeves, hands on his hips, pointing at Scarlett White's nose, "You ungrateful girl, now that you're successful, you forget where you came from?"Aunt raised her head, eyeing the grand gate of the Davis Mansion, unable to hide the envy and greed in her eyes. "Le
"Sometimes, certain misunderstandings become insurmountable obstacles in love."After summarizing her advice, Amy Bond left Scarlett White by the roadside.She claimed it was for Scarlett to make her own choice: to salvage this replationship or watch Neil Davis drift away?Standing at the bustling intersection, Scarlett White clutched her briefcase, emotions swirling within.After a while, her eyes, tired from staring at the traffic lights, shifted away. She took out her phone, dialed home, and the maid answered. Scarlett White remained silent for a moment before asking, "Is Neil at home?""The young master isn't with you, is he?" the maid replied.Recalling the lie she told Mrs. Davis earlier, Scarlett White hastily said, "Oh, we just went our separate ways.""Well, I haven't seen the young master since yesterday afternoon.""Alright, I'll try calling his phone."Scarlett White hung up without immediately calling Neil Davis. Instead, she stood in place for a while, then flagged down
