Eve smiled and put one hand on Scarlett’s shoulder, “Well, it all depends on how much influence you can have on Francis, doesn’t it? He’s probably only going to listen to you. You’re the one with the most influence on him.” When she saw Scarlett didn’t answer her, she just brushed her hair and said, “Anyway, I don’t know anyone else who can do this for me, so I can only count on you.”
“Won’t Damon be mad at me?” Scarlett glanced at her.
“No, he won’t! He’s not like that.” Eve promised her.
But Scarlett was doubtful about the whole thing. Eve’s plans just seemed too fanciful to ever become a reality.
If Eve’s wild stories were to be trusted in the first place,
“All I can tell you is that all the speculations about this couple on the Internet are just rumors. As for the discussion about not holding the wedding and what that may have to do with their marriage, rest assured that their marriage is very much intact. The real fact is that Mrs. Sandler pays great attention to the details of the wedding. Mr. Sandler wants to take the time to plan the wedding out to match her specifications. It's in the works, everybody, please be calm.”“What’s the budget for the wedding?” asked the journalist.“Well, I have no idea about that! But I assure you that my boss will not care about how much money it may cost. All he cares about is making sure that his new wife is happy all the time!”However, because of Jimmy’s replies, the wedding becam
“What? Who are you? Is this really Francis I’m speaking to right now?”Francis laid down, and put his arm around Scarlett’s shoulders, and said, “Scarlett, we can’t keep running away from my parents like this. It just doesn’t make sense. As long as they are alive, Carlos should have the chance to form a meaningful relationship with them. He’s their grandson, after all! Blood is thicker than water, Scarlett. I know how you feel because of your rough childhood… and everything that happened with your dad… but family is family.”Scarlett looked back at him and said, “Do you know that I almost miscarried? Where were they when I was going through tough times? Why didn’t they care for my son back then or me?”“Scarlett, haven’
How considerate and tactful she was! It sounded as if she really cared about her, but that was definitely not the case.“Who sent them to you? Do you have the negatives?” She blurted out on the phone.“As I said, I don’t know who sent them to me. Do you know who it might have been?” Scarlett said, avoiding stating clearly what was going on. Vivian had understood the situation quickly: Scarlett was blackmailing her. There were no doubts about it in her mind.Vivian took a deep breath and said, “As long as you can give me the rest of the photos and the negatives as well, I will make sure that the Internet smear fest will end for you.”Scarlett bravely, “I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in that at all. On th
Francis just followed Scarlett to the door of the washroom.When Scarlett heard his footsteps, she instantly turned around and locked the door because she didn’t want him to see her vomit. She felt very embarrassed.“Scarlett, are you okay? Please open the door, okay?” Francis begged.But Scarlett was focused on rinsing out her mouth and getting cleaned up.“What matters is your health, it’s not the time to be mad at me! Please let me in.”‘Don’t come in, I’m fine!”“The doctor is on the way, just let him give you a general check,” Francis said.“I&rsqu
Scout tore a piece of black cloth to cover her eyes with, and the other man sitting next to her, who called himself Sam, took out a syringe and stuck it in her arm without wasting a second.Within moments Scarlett became dizzy and passed out.“Sam, will we get rich after the news that she’s been kidnapped gets out? How hefty is the payout gonna be on this one?“Don’t you see the news? Her husband is wealthy, and she still doesn’t have a bodyguard with her, so she is an easy target.” Sam laughed loudly.“Boss asked us not to touch her, but I really want to touch her.” another man suddenly said as he touched Scarlett’s cheek.“Don’t even think about that! All we
When they heard a noise outside, Vivian put on her hat and hastened to leave.Scout walked around Scarlett and then said, “Stop pretending you are not awake! You overheard what we said, didn’t you?”Scarlett moved her fingers and said, “I know who’s behind this.”“You want to die?” he said as he held the sharp knife against her neck. His eyes glittered with greed and blood lust.“I can’t survive this time because you have prepared to kill me, haven’t you?”“You are a smart woman!” he said as he moved the knife away from her neck. “If you want to blame someone, just blame yourself because it’s all your own fault. How dare you steal
“How ungrateful he is! You helped him get rid of those two annoying women, and now he blames you for not caring about his feelings? That’s nonsense. How dare he ask for a divorce?” Eve stomped around angrily. She couldn’t understand why Francis was behaving so strangely all of a sudden.Scarlett leaned back on the sofa and stared at the tray of fruit on the table, and said, “You don’t understand. What I’ve done has provoked his ego, and it’s not the first time. I guess no one can endure me. I’m going to die alone.”“But he is Francis Sandler, I thought he was going to be different… and mature.”Scarlett looked up at her and said calmly, “There is no difference! He is still a man. Men are all the same, aren’t they? It doesn&rsq
Scarlett knew he was lying because it was impossible to break a pen so easily– unless you were full of rage.He sat down in front of Scarlett and said, “I will ask the lawyer to handle the division of property, but I only have one condition, I want custody of Carlos.”“Okay,” Scarlett nodded in agreement and added, “Actually, I can do it without taking your money. After all, it’s your money, and I feel kind of guilty about taking your money for doing nothing, so I’d better not.”When he heard her, Francis was almost going crazy for being pissed off; one more word with her, and he might faint with anger and get taken to the hospital.“You don’t want custody of our son?” he asked again, trying to make
