That man who kidnapped Skyler haunted Skyler and me like a nightmare, and he threatened our safety with every moment that he was alive. So I just couldn’t wait to end that nightmare myself…I’m sorry to cause you so much trouble…But I always trust you, I really do…” Scarlett was a little upset. She didn't want Francis to misunderstand the situation or her feelings either.“I promise there won’t be next time.” Scarlett looked up at him with watery eyes.“Never again.” Francis couldn’t help but hold her tight; he wanted Scarlett close to him, always.Scarlett’s heart was beating frantically, and her cheeks flushed red as if she had downed multiple shots of tequila. For this first time, she gazed deeply into Francis’s eyes without any

Her car never got out of control, even when her temper often ran against her will.The shoot went smoothly and ended within half a day. Stella invited Scarlett and all the staff to the Intercontinental Hotel for dinner. Everyone was so happy, and the whole team was full of joy.Stella had always been very generous. Since the Intercontinental Hotel is one of the most high-end hotels in Irving and its buffet is famous and popular among the rich, Scarlett couldn’t wait to enjoy a feast. She had rejected Stella’s money, but she wouldn’t reject this amazing banquet.Indeed, as expected, when everybody was drinking and playing games, Scarlett was the only one who buried herself in the delicate food. She was unfamiliar with the staff members and had no interest in their office gossip.

Stella was incredibly excited to see that Scarlett had shot to fame overnight. She and Andrew discussed the cover of the anniversary special edition and ideas for the shoot inexhaustibly.

This meant she would be able to borrow less money from Chuck and still help Skyler achieve his goals.Francis Francis also watched that video, not that he had much spare time to follow fashion and entertainment news. But Amanda, as a qualified assistant, knew exactly how to cater to her boss!In the beginning, Francis was not interested when Amanda told him it was a

I didn’t really mean it, Scarlett.”    “Do we have a plan B, Uncle Francis?” Scarlett felt the tension between them was eased, and she dared to ask such a question. “Scarlett!” Francis raised his voice to turn down her bold request. “Then… are you doing this because… because you really love me?” Scarlett lowered her voice and asked very cautiously.“It just can’t be more obvious, you little fool!” Francis was angry at this stupid, clueless girl but couldn’t help but hold her even more tightly.“If you really love

Scarlett had prepared stewed mutton with red wine and fresh vegetables, which was perfect for winter days, and a braised cod with tomato and thyme, grilled asparagus with butter and cheese as well as prawn salad.The color and the flavor of the food were almost Michelin level. Even though Francis was a very picky eater, he chewed away at the mutton and ate all the food on his plate.“Thank you for this amazing treat.
