Sometimes, Scarlett really couldn't understand how such a heartless man like him could exist. Did he really want to torture her to death? Why did he have to keep forcing her into such situations?"I hope you keep my words in mind and never forget them. From now on, if you make a mistake like this again, don't blame me for being heartless for what I would do to you. I trust that, from the past few days that you've been by my side, you know exactly what I can do. But it's alright if you feel like you still don't know what I'm really capable of. After all, we have all the time in the world for you to get to know me." After his threat, Jonathan returned to his car and sped off without even looking back. Scarlett glared daggers at his car as he left, hoping that she could tear him apart limb from limb to satisfy her anger. How could there be such a shameless man? How could he blatantly bully a weak woman like her just because he had money? Did he really think there was any point in forci

Just then, she heard a young woman's melodious voice ring out from just outside the living room. "Aunty! It's been too long! You have no idea how much I've missed all of you. I didn't enjoy my time overseas at all, and I feel like I had more fun here with all of you. Your house is always so lively, and there's always so much good food to eat, and … Who's this?"The woman had trailed off when she'd entered the living room and seen Scarlett standing awkwardly beside Justin. Her sudden question made everyone except for Jonathan, who was still expressionless, chuckle. Justin flashed a good-natured grin at her before saying, "This is my girlfriend, Scarlett. I brought her home to meet everyone today!"He then turned to Scarlett. "Scar, this is my aunt … no wait," he corrected jokingly, "This is my future aunt, Celeste Sloan."Scarlett stared at Justin in shock. If she was going to be his aunt, then that meant that she was going to be Jonathan's wife. Scarlett studied the kind-looking wom

Nancy flashed a gentle smile at Scarlett before casting a glance at Celeste, who'd been sitting quietly in a corner. Then she said, "I think this arrangement sounds great. Whatever the case, it's true that Scarlett is still studying, so let's just let them get engaged first, and we can discuss wedding plans in the future. In fact, why don't we take this opportunity to set a date for Celeste and Jonathan to get married as well? Then, there would be two weddings, which would mean double the celebrations! Wouldn't that be nice?"Celeste had been silently watching the entire situation between Justin and Scarlett unfold and hadn't expected to be dragged into the mix as well. She bashfully lowered her head to mumble, "I have nothing to say about this arrangement."Jonathan was also suspiciously silent throughout the entire exchange, even though he was the one who was about to get married. He simply lit up a cigarette with an unreadable expression on his face while the entire family watched

As expected, Daphne, who'd arrived in good spirits, was almost immediately crestfallen at his words. She hadn't expected him to say anything like that at all and was understandably embarrassed. Regardless, she still plastered a smile on her face and whined, "Do you really have to say something like that, Mr. Leonard?"Jonathan's expression seemed to warm minutely afterward, so Daphne mustered up the courage to get closer to him again. Seeing as he didn't object to their close proximity, she boldly clung onto his arm as well.Jonathan looked at Scarlett knowingly before reaching out to pull Daphne into his embrace and letting his hands roam all over her thighs, painting a lewd sight.Scarlett turned her head away from them, unwilling to watch such a lewd scene.On second thought, she realized that she had no right to be disgusted by Daphne and Jonathan. After all, she'd also been in Daphne's position before and had also been felt up by Jonathan in front of a crowd. That explained wh

Before Scarlett could decide her next plan of action, she was already forcefully pulled into Justin's embrace and passionately kissed by him. Scarlett had never seen Justin so out of control like this before, and she struggled to catch her breath in between his relentless kisses. Justin, on the other hand, seemed to have completely forgotten that this was all just a game and refused to just let her escape. It was as if he'd forgotten that there was a crowd around them, watching them make out. Scarlett was surprised that the usually gentle Justin would have such a wild side. Eventually, after five minutes, Justin reluctantly let her go. Scarlett couldn't help but look at Jonathan after she was released. His expression had darkened immeasurably, which was completely at odds with the laughing faces of the others in the room.Scarlett was terrified and decided to just ignore him. The entire room was laughing except for her, Justin, and Jonathan, and their boisterous laughter made her
