Semua Bab All She Needs: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Cedrick wasn't exaggerating when he said that. If Tristan and Phoebe really took over Leonard Corporations, the economy of Atville would be impacted, and as Atville's governor, Scarlett would have to deal with the mess that followed.Upon hearing the potential consequences, Scarlett also felt that, as governor, she had to step in to prevent a potential crisis at all costs. The panic in Cedrick's eyes was also genuine, but Dylan still had a hand on her, unwilling to let her go to Cedrick."I'll be fine! I'm just going to discuss something with him. I have the right to talk to anyone I want," she exclaimed frustratedly to Dylan.If it weren't for Scarlett bringing up her rights, Dylan probably wouldn't have let her go. Though he agreed that he was going overboard, he really didn't want her to go to Cedrick and Jonathan. However, the minute she got upset with him, he gave in and let her go.Scarlett walked toward Cedrick and asked, "What's going on?"Desperate times call for desperat

Jonathan didn’t even raise his head to look at who was causing the commotion. He was in a terrible mood and didn’t want to argue with anyone right now. All he wanted was to be alone.Scarlett, who'd gone through hell to rush here, wasn’t about to give up so easily. She studied the glass and deduced that it was probably shatterproof. Then she remembered that she kept a large wrench in her car, so she went back to retrieve it.Gripping the wrench, she walked back to Jonathan's car, ready to swing it against the glass. However, she remembered just in time that Jonathan was probably sitting in the driver’s seat. Thus, she hastily made her way to the passenger side before aggressively swinging the wrench against the window. The impact made the car alarm blare, but the window was practically unscathed, save for some light scratches. Scarlett’s eyes widened in disbelief; the quality of the glass was amazing! She tried again and swung the wrench repeatedly against the glass, but to no avai

More importantly, Jonathan seemed to have undergone a personality change when he started pouting. "Come on, what do you say?"Scarlett's self-restraint shattered upon hearing those words from him, but she forced herself to calm down anyway. She opened her mouth to speak, but all that came out was a single word. "You—"It was simply too much! Scarlett yearned for someone to physically remove her from her situation because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep her body in check for much longer. Her heart rate soared, and her face blushed crimson. Damn it, she wanted nothing more than to push him away, but Jonathan's fervent gaze prevented her from doing so for fear of breaking his heart."Scarlett, do you like me? Do you love me?" Jonathan asked tentatively."What the fuck is going on?" Scarlett mused frantically. She was rendered speechless, and she would've hardly believed her ears if not for the serious expression on his face."I'm engaged, Jonathan. Look, how about we both

And so, when Aunty Macy had hinted for him to console Uncle Dylan the night before, he'd done nothing and pretended to be oblivious. When it came to relationships, it had to be a mutual agreement, and that, precisely, was what made them so hurtful. Lucas was well aware that it would take more than a few words to properly console Dylan. Moreover, he couldn't control who his mother ultimately chose. Still, he could never bring himself to tell Uncle Dylan anything absurd to placate him or make empty promises, like to never talk to his mom again if she didn't marry him. Even if they were merely lies, he couldn't even imagine himself saying any of those things. As long as he was alive, he would never allow anyone to hurt his mother—lies or not. Not him, not anyone, not ever.As for his bias toward Jonathan, he could only occasionally offer the man suggestions and urge him to up his game before the opportunity slipped away. It wasn't like he could do anything concrete to influence his mom's

When Lucas turned back, he saw Aunty Macy looking at him. To have someone witness him in this state was simply unacceptable! If anyone else saw that picture, he would spend years being the laughingstock, and Lucas would never allow that to happen. For one, he was always the one who made fun of others, not the other way around. Now that the latter seemed imminent, it felt like the colossal joke of the century."What are you taking pictures of, Auntie Macy? Don't you know that filming me unauthorizedly is a direct violation of my rights to privacy? I could sue you anytime for this! But, whatever. Forget it. I'll let it slide this time, considering our relationship, on one condition—hand over your phone. How does that sound?" Lucas decided to try a diplomatic approach first. If reasoning with Aunty Macy failed, perhaps it was time for a tougher approach. Either way, under no circumstances would he allow that picture to be spread. How could he continue to live without shame if it did?"Luc
