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
Scarlett had her head against his shoulder and just smiled, “Won’t you blame me for being too impulsive?”“Of course not. It would be best if you always did what feels right to you, Scarlett. I trust you. I’m here for you, no matter what. You know that, don’t you?” Scarlett tightened his arm on her shoulder. Scarlett said, “Everyone will make mistakes in this life. If we don’t have the opportunity to make our own mistakes and learn from them, then what’s the point of living life anyway? We might as well have done. Besides, getting a divorce isn’t the worst thing in the world. I can recover from this, move on, and still live a full life. I’m still young, after all.”Skyler smiled as the breeze outside the cab caressed his hair, “That’s right. We would never have survived wi
Skyler just said, “Just give it a try and leave here for a while. By the way, your absence will help get this matter out of the limelight that much quicker, don’t you think?”Scarlett took a lighter and a cigarette out from nowhere, and then she lit it up and took a small puff of her cigarette. She stared at the spark between her finger and said, “I haven’t smoked for a long time because of Carlos. I’m about to quit smoking...”“It doesn’t matter if you want one now,” Skyler said.Scarlett smiled helplessly and puffed a smoke ring, and said, “Sometimes, I think we need to change ourselves a lot to cater to someone else. When I woke up on that huge bed at midnight, I had this deep, unsettling feeling that I’m not even me anymore.”
“So, what’s going on between you and my uncle anyway? I want to know exactly what’s been going on these days,” he said, “Don’t you think that the two of you made a major decision way too hastily? What’s wrong with you? You’re parents to a baby boy now! You have to be more responsible, don’t you think?”Scarlett turned her head towards him and said dryly, “You should talk to your uncle about that. He is the one who asked for a divorce. Why are you coming out here interrogating me? The one you want to be asking all these questions is Francis.”“Well, I really want to ask him about it. But considering the good relationship I have with you, I wanted to talk to you first. Just tell me, what exactly is going on? My poor young cousin has been crying all these days, don’t you feel sorry
