Semua Bab All She Needs: Bab 21 - Bab 30

The sound of a child crying came from nearby.A boy who was around six years old was sitting at a table. He had a napkin tucked into his shirt like a bib and was dressed carelessly but also formally. It was obvious that he was from a rich family."What’s wrong?" A man walked towards the table and asked the waiter."This brat ordered all of the most expensive items on the menu and ate from each plate, but now he can't pay for it. If he hadn’t touched the food, we could’ve still found a way to return it to the kitchen, but now...""Kid, who brought you to the hotel? Where are your parents?" the hotel manager asked the boy."My mommy isn’t here, but my dad is right there." The boy raised his chubby little arm to point at the man seated near the window. The hotel manager followed his arm, looking toward the window, and felt the onslaught of a migraine.Jonathan Leonard was a regular here. Everyone knew that he was the president of Leonard Corporations and that he wasn't married. So h

"Wow! I can’t believe you have so many hooligans around you." The two of them were still in their pajamas and were living under the same roof. It was inevitable that Kate thought they were together.Dylan grabbed Kate’s hand and violently pushed her, making her fall painfully to the ground."You fucking adulterous couple! How dare you join hands to bully me?" Kate just sat on the floor and wept. "What did your dad ever do to you? Why are you doing this to him? How could you let your man set up a trap for your own father? I've seen ungrateful daughters, but I've never met one like you. God, please give her divine retribution.""Mommy, what's wrong?" Lucas came to the front door and rubbed his eyes sleepily. "Nothing’s wrong." Scarlett walked toward Lucas and held him in her arms. All the grievances in her heart seemed to melt away when she hugged him."Mommy, did she hit you?" Lucas looked at Scarlett’s red face, which had the clear imprint of a hand."Ignore her; let’s go back i

All she wanted was to live a simple and peaceful life with Lucas and for Jonathan to never find out that Lucas was his son. To settle the matter with Theodore, Scarlett returned to her childhood home and told him about her plans.As long as Theodore used his current connections to support Scarlett's candidacy for governor, then she would find a way and use her new authority as governor to let Theodore enjoy his retirement days at Langston Mansion rather than in prison. At first, Theodore was skeptical, but after he saw Scarlett’s expressionless face, he understood that this was a huge compromise on her end and eventually agreed to her terms. After all, going against her would gain him nothing, and without her help, he would definitely end up in jail.However, Kate wasn't as indifferent as Theodore. She yelled at Scarlett like a madwoman, cussing at and scolding her, but Scarlett was unphased. Her reputation as a prestigious attorney wasn't just for show. All those years of being an

Dylan, who was holding Lucas’s cartoon backpack, gave a brilliant smile. Scarlett had always thought that Dylan’s smile made him especially handsome. Dylan said, "We can go anywhere you want; we took the day off from work just to spend time with you."Lucas was over the moon when he heard this. "Awesome! Uncle Dylan is the best. Mommy is the worst."Scarlett was exasperated. He'd been in her belly for nine months! How could he say that? Scarlett started internally cursing Jonathan’s pervasive genes again.Coincidentally, Jonathan, who was sitting in the president’s office, had a feeling that someone was talking about him again. He was puzzled. Why were people constantly talking about him?The trio arrived at Atville’s largest amusement park. The amusement park was breathtaking, and they were constantly awed by the eye-catching scenery.The amusement park was Lucas’s idea. When he first suggested it, both Scarlett and Dylan were shocked. They couldn't believe that Lucas was interes

His voice was dripping with sarcasm, and Scarlett was stunned. He'd asked her out for dinner because of this? "Thank you; this was all thanks to you," Scarlett answered matter-of-factly.Jonathan’s expression darkened, and he stared coldly at Scarlett. However, Scarlett ignored him and kept casually eating her steak.Jonathan asked again, "Miss Langston, I heard you have a son named Lucas, and the only man that you are close to is Dylan Fairmont. So why is your son Lucas Langston and not Lucas Fairmont?"The sudden question made Scarlett panic. She couldn't stay calm when she heard him bring up Lucas. He had people investigate her, and he even knew about Dylan, so he must've found out everything about her. But it seemed like he mistook Lucas for Dylan’s son.How could this happen? Scarlett wasn't sure if she should be happy that he didn't know about Lucas being his son or if she should be upset that he couldn't even recognize his own son.However, she'd also spent years in the law
