Who Would Want a Faded Love? Chapter 21
Scarlett stayed in that town for three years. During that time, she developed many successful technological products and established her own company. However, it was placed under Vicky's name because it wasn't convenient for her to show her face.Joel occasionally sent her gifts. Sometimes, they were gems. Sometimes, it was just a fallen leaf. Sometimes, they were multi-colored feathers.He visited during the holidays, even though he knew Scarlett didn't welcome him. It was clear to everyone that he had feelings for her, including her.However, she wasn't interested in throwing herself into yet another relationship with an unknown outcome. She felt it was a pretty good idea to forge ahead in life alone. She didn't need anyone by her side.During the New Year's holiday of her third year in that town, she firmly turned Joel down. And as the fourth New Year's holiday approached, she heard news about someone she hadn't thought about in years—Joachim. He was dead.He'd gone out of his

Meanwhile, Joachim arrived on the rooftop of his company's building. He looked icily at Katrina, who stood on the other side of the railing. "How dare you still show yourself in front of me?"If not for her suddenly showing up abroad, things between him and Scarlett wouldn't be so tense.Katrina looked at him pleadingly. "Joachim, we still have two children together. Do you really not want me anymore?"To tell the truth, after going through all of this, she knew that men were heartless and couldn't be relied on. However, she'd grown up pampered and had later become Joachim's sugar baby. She only knew how to spend and splurge. She couldn't keep herself alive, let alone their two children.She was out of ideas, and begging Joachim was the only thing she could do. She could only hope that he would take her in because of their shared history.Joachim sneered. "Scarlett and I wouldn't have ended up like this if not for you driving a wedge between us! I want nothing more than for you to

Joachim left the manor and headed to the gates, where Joel waited. He smiled and said, "I heard from the butler that you've dropped by six times in the past two weeks, Uncle Joel. Did you need anything?"Joel looked into his eyes. "I came to visit Scarlett. Her phone has been turned off this whole time. Have you locked her up, Joachim? Even if you two are married, this is illegal."Joachim sneered. "So, you do remember that we're married, Uncle Joel? Don't you think your concern for your niece-in-law is a little too overreaching?"He stepped closer and said in a low voice, "Even if Scarlett kissed you, it means nothing. She only did it to get back at me. Don't tell me you actually thought she liked you."Joel stiffened. Joachim continued, "Don't come again if there's nothing urgent at hand, Uncle Joel. In fact, don't come even if something urgent does come up. You're not welcome here."On the way back to the bedroom, Joachim was consumed by one thought—that other men coveted Scarl

Darla passed away a few days later. Scarlett didn't shed a tear during the funeral, but she abruptly asked to stop the car on the way back. Then, she bolted out and stopped by the roadside as she burst into tears.Joel got out of the car. He was about to drape a coat over her shoulders when Joachim stopped him. He couldn't help thinking that Joel was a little too concerned about Scarlett.As her husband, it was perfectly normal for him to return to Chrona with her after learning that Darla was in critical condition. But Joel was just a relative who had nothing to do with Scarlett. Yet he'd given up on several major business deals to follow them back to Chrona.Naturally, Joachim started suspecting that Joel felt things for Scarlett that he shouldn't. He looked at Joel icily and with hostility as he said, "I'll care for my wife, Uncle Joel. You don't need to trouble yourself with this."He turned to hold Scarlett, but she shoved him away roughly."Get the hell away from me!" she sc

Katrina was ultimately taken away by the security guards after causing a drawn-out scene. She kept wailing while being dragged away.Joachim looked at Scarlett diffidently. "I—""Don't bother saying anything." She got up and made her way out of the room. "I'm nauseous just from hearing your voice."His expression turned into one of panic and despair, just like how Katrina had looked when being taken away.…That night, Scarlett didn't go home. Joachim finally managed to find her by a river. He said, "It's cold out here. Let's… Let's go home.""Home? We don't have anything like that." She stared at the moonlight reflecting off the surface of the water. "I'm begging you, Joachim. Have mercy on me and stop tormenting me, will you? I almost lost my life because of this relationship. What more do you want from me? Will you only let me go once I'm dead?"His eyes instantly reddened, and his lips trembled. "Scarlett…""Leave me with a way out of this, please. If I have no choice but t

Katrina and Joachim had turned on each other after he'd almost strangled her. He'd frozen her cards and taken back everything he'd given her—the 26 companies he'd set up for her, 5 estates, 6 villas, and many other properties. He'd also ordered her to return all the expensive jewelry he'd gotten her.In the course of a night, Katrina had gone from being a multi-millionaire to a broke woman who was heavily in debt. She couldn't accept the change, especially since she had two children with her.She went to James and Amanda and cried her heart out, begging them to help her. How could she and the children survive like that?James and Amanda hadn't wanted their grandchildren to suffer, so they'd immediately called Joachim, wanting to ease the tension between him and Katrina."Didn't you just say a few days ago that you would treat Katrina well? Why are you doing this to her now? Are you going to abandon your children for Scarlett when she's already dead? They're your flesh and blood!"
