All Chapters of Carrying My Husband's Billionaire Uncle's Child (English): Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Even though it was already past eleven at night, Scarlett still left the hospital. She hailed a taxi to the police station where Tobias was being held and where Magdalene was waiting for her.What should have been a twenty-minute drive took nearly an hour because of the heavy traffic along the highway. By the time she walked into the lobby, Magdalene was practically red with anger."What took you so long? You said twenty minutes," her mother-in-law snapped as soon as she saw her. "Did you purposely make me wait here? Are you trying to annoy me, Scarlett?"Scarlett gave Magdalene an uninterested look. "Blame the traffic. It made you wait a long time," she replied sarcastically before quickly turning away. She left her in the lobby and walked straight down the hallway toward the interrogation room.Tobias and Vernice were there, sitting beside each other, along with two other women Scarlett didn't recognize. Judging by the way Vernice was practically glaring holes through them, Scarlett

Darius's irritation immediately showed on his face. He took the cellphone back from Devine's hand. "Not bad," he replied, clearly not caring much.Devine put the dress back on the rack, trying to be patient. "I want your honest opinion. I've already tried on so many outfits today, but you keep saying the same things over and over. It's either 'it's okay' or 'not bad.'" Her voice held a playful whine, but the smile at the corners of her lips was starting to fade.Darius's cellphone rang, and he stood up, smoothing out the wrinkles in his suit. "I have a meeting. I need to leave. If you're not done picking out your clothes, I'll leave the driver here to take you home."Darius pulled his wallet from his pocket, took out a gold card, and handed it to Devine.Devine clenched her teeth as she took the gold card, forcing a smile before nodding. She was left there watching Darius's back as he walked away.The dazzling display of gowns around her suddenly looked less glamorous. Her earlier exc

Hilda tightened her grip on her bag in anger, as if she were ready to swing it at Scarlett’s head.But Scarlett was faster. Her hand struck Hilda’s face with a sharp, painful slap, hard enough to snap Hilda’s head to the side. Several people nearby flinched at the loud crack.In an instant, both Hilda and Devine had bright red cheeks. Devine’s breath caught as shock and anger rushed up her throat.“Scarlett, you’ve gone too far!” Devine shouted, still clutching her cheek.Scarlett let out a sarcastic laugh and pointed at herself. “I’m the one who’s gone too far, Devine? You started this! You and your mother! You couldn’t handle me fighting back? Fine, call Darius! Go tell him I slapped you. Let him see you two act like playground bullies!”More and more people began gathering around them. Some whispered among themselves while others pulled out their phones to record, all of them focused on the heated confrontation. Devine was practically burning with embarrassment. She squeezed her ey

“Stay away from Darius if you don’t want to regret it—”Scarlett rolled her eyes. She didn’t let Devine finish and simply walked away, leaving her sister behind.“Scarlett!” Devine shouted, stomping her feet. “Scarlett, I’m talking to you!”Scarlett acted as if she were deaf. She walked inside and immediately looked around for Angeline and their other coworkers.Devine’s shoulders rose and fell with anger, looking ready to explode. She looked down at her gown and brushed it off as if that could somehow ease her irritation with Scarlett. She had spent hours choosing it because she wanted Darius to notice her. But tonight, it felt as though she barely existed to him. He hadn’t even told her she looked beautiful. After picking her up from her house, he had either stayed silent or given brief answers whenever she tried to talk to him.When Devine lifted her gaze, she spotted Vernice walking toward her. Vernice looked completely at ease, her new gown hugging her in all the right places.De

“How much did he drink?” Scarlett asked Greg as she watched Darius, unable to hide the concern on her face.Darius turned when he heard Scarlett’s voice, but his vision suddenly spun. He nearly lost his balance and would have fallen if Greg hadn’t caught him.“It wasn’t that much, but he says he’s extremely dizzy and having trouble breathing,” Greg answered. “I’m going to take him downstairs so he can get some fresh air.”Scarlett looked at Darius again. He looked completely drained now. The dark circles beneath his eyes looked deeper under the harsh lights, and there was a faint scent of alcohol mixed with something stale, as if he hadn’t slept properly in days.Greg’s phone rang, and he immediately answered it. His voice rose slightly in surprise, as though something urgent had happened on the other end. As soon as he ended the call, he turned to Scarlett.“Could you watch him for a moment?”Scarlett immediately hesitated and even pointed at herself. “W-Why?”“Mr. Aldama left his ph
