Chapter 10

Mark studied painting before his debut. He was also given an exception to be admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts at the age of 17, and he won third place at the Prada Award with the “Impression Sunrise” at the age of 19. Since then, he became famous overseas, and nobody else in the country was able to be selected for the Prada Award list.

Nonetheless, Mark only took painting as his hobby. He was headhunted by Alexis and debuted when he was 20 years old. Until last year when he graduated from university, he got selected for the Prada Award again with another work. This shocked the entire entertainment industry and art community.

Therefore, Mark’s remarks on Julie earlier were a fatal blow.

Julie had long wanted to collaborate with Mark. Not only did she want to benefit from his fan base and exposure, but she also wanted to use his popularity to boost hers. Even so, Mark rejected her, hence her plan failed.

Initially, the outside world speculated that Mark did not collaborate with Julie because his schedule was too full. Who knew, he said that it was because her paintings were not good enough. The audience that was watching the live broadcast was long in an uproar, especially Mark’s fans.

Scarlett was very satisfied with today’s result. She curled her lips and smiled when she looked at the comments on the live broadcast.

The car had unknowingly stopped. Mark turned to look at her from the side.

Scarlett raised her eyebrow. She sighed while unbuckling her seatbelt. “I’m such a bad woman.”

Mark curled his lips. “I like bad women.”

“Stop flirting with me.”

Scarlett got out of the car and thanked him. “Alright, you’re done with your mission today. Go back and report yourself!”

“Elder Sister Scarly, you’re not going to invite me to dinner?”

Scarlett did not look back at all. “I don’t know how to cook. Bye.”

Subsequently, she closed her villa’s door.

Mark watched for a while before driving away.

Julie had specially invited Raymond as a guest for her exhibition, and she had also bribed the media to make a live broadcast. She initially planned to hire internet ghostwriters after that to ship her and Raymond as a couple so that they could be bound together.

She also secretly wanted to stamp on Scarlett. Once she got married to Raymond, nobody would scold her for being a vixen. For all she knew, by then, she could also bribe the press to crush Scarlett for being so overconfident back then.

Nevertheless, the appearance of Scarlett and Mark messed up all of Julie’s plans. Before she could even get anyone to make public relations reactions, a bunch of people were already treading on her on the internet because of Mark’s comments about her.

That could be forgotten. The key was that some people even praised Scarlett, saying that she and Raymond actually did not look compatible together.

Furthermore, some people also said that Scarlett did not even look at Raymond, her ex-husband, in the live broadcast. On the other hand, he kept staring at her. Scarlett looked like she would never look back on her old love, which made her so cool that she was lovable.

Julie, who originally wanted to give Scarlett a blow. “???”

Mark’s review was stirring up particularly strongly. It was clear that someone was planning it behind the scenes.

The netizens’ speculations were limitless. In just a few hours, someone had brainstormed an absurd love triangle of wealthy families.

Of course, in this love triangle concluded by the netizens, Scarlett was the victim, whereas Raymond and Julie were the cheating couple.

At this moment, Scarlett had most likely divorced Raymond because she got hold of the evidence of him cheating. She then blackmailed him to get a large amount of compensation, then she left in style and completed her ex-husband and the mistress.

The person planning this behind the scenes was none other than Alexis.

Scarlett had a headache when she saw the trending topics. “Is this not too good?”

Alexis, who was on the couch, was unhappy when she heard that. “Why is this not too good? Tell me, throughout your three years of marriage with Raymond, how many times has he seen you and how many times has he seen Julie?”

Scarlett thought about it and felt her heart break a little.

She had been married to Raymond for three years, but they had met less than ten times in total, of which three of their meetings were during the Shaw family’s banquets.

According to the “reports” given by Tiffany about Raymond’s whereabouts, out of the 18 business trips he went on, he met with Julie eight times. Not to mention, the gatherings during the birthdays of the Woods family’s elders, company anniversaries, and so on.

Alexis knew she was right when she saw Scarlett looking down without saying a word. “Besides, before you divorced, they spent a night together at a hotel. You might be able to put up with it, but I can’t.

“If we hadn’t struck first this time, the people on the internet would be cursing at you now. Do you think that that evil Julie will let you off easily? We can’t show any mercy to our enemies!”

Seeing as Scarlett was still lowering her head, Alexis was exasperated. “Lettie, seriously? After hearing what I said, you’re still feeling guilty? Did I not kick them hard enough or are you not hurt enough?”

Scarlett twitched her eyebrows and looked at her. “I’m just looking for the photos of them checking in to the hotel.”

As she spoke, she pointed at Alexis’ phone that rang at that moment. “There, I sent them to you. Get someone to upload them during the crucial moment.”

“Nice!”

Alexis downloaded the photos. When she pressed on them and looked, she was instantly enraged. “When was this?”

“More than seven months ago.”

The photos were not that luscious, but they showed Julie and Raymond wearing bathrobes, which was enough to make people imagine things.

These photos were not sent to Scarlett by anyone else, but by Julie herself.

Scarlett believed that Raymond still had his bottom line but back then, Julie, the mistress who did not know if she had ascended to position, was already showing off. Now that she thought about it, it was indeed hard to swallow the insult.

‘Since she’s so eager to be the mistress, I’ll satisfy her.’

Alexis was simply infuriated. “I’ll get someone to arrange it right away! Raymond, that scum, has really cheated on you! This shit-stained money is too disgusting to be picked up. You mustn’t look back!”

“... I’m not short of money anyway.”

Alexis wanted to cry. “I am. Can you donate some to me?”

Scarlett turned to look at her. “You won’t be short of money if you sell those bags and shoes in your cabinet.”

“You’re a bad woman!”

Scarlett nodded. She lowered her head and smiled faintly while her peach blossom eyes curved. “Mm, I’m a bad woman. Don’t love me as you won’t get anything out of it.”

“...”

For some reason, Alexis felt that her divorced best friend was too evil. She seemed to be a little moved.

‘What should I do? Help, it’s urgent!’
