Besides, Justin had always had incredible self-discipline and restraint, so how could he possibly get as drunk as he was right now? Did you force him to drink?" Scarlett questioned. She knew Justin like the back of her hand. She knew that Justin wouldn't have gotten so drunk unless someone had egged him on. Hence, she was extremely suspicious of Jonathan. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Did Jonathan even have a shred of humanity in him? How could he do something like that to his own family?Jonathan's lips curled into a seductive smile at her accusation. Any woman would be hypnotized by such a smile, but to Scarlett, it only made him more detestable. Though they had spent a year apart, she'd spent a good amount of time with him before that, and she could immediately tell what that smile meant. It was a silent admission that he'd gotten Justin drunk just so he could send her home!Scarlett was no stranger to his cunning tricks. He sure was a force to be reckoned

Jonathan, who was still quite annoyed by their argument, couldn't help but laugh at her cautious tone. What was going on in this stupid woman's brain? How could she ask him such a dumb question? Did she think he was a fool? He wouldn't just randomly commit a crime.He didn't have the energy to deal with her and simply continued driving them around in circles. Scarlett was getting nauseous from all the spinning, which was only made worse by her anxiety about not knowing where he was taking them. She was about to lose her mind and wondered if she should say something to him. Eventually, he stopped the car in front of a 24-hour pharmacy that looked like it hadn't had customers in years."Go buy some condoms. Remember to get the extra large ones!" Jonathan commanded, making Scarlett flush. What the fuck was going on in this man's head? How could he say something like that with such a straight face? Besides, why did she have to be the one to do something so embarrassing? It's not like she

Jonathan's breathing hitched as he heard her desperate voice calling for him. Her voice was hoarse as if she'd just been crying, a stark difference from her usual melodic voice.He rushed towards her voice, and what he saw made him see red. Two large men were standing menacingly before Scarlett, and her shirt had been ripped to shreds. He'd never felt so angry in his life before, and he rushed forward to swing the stick that he'd found just now toward the two men. One of the men, who'd been ready to pounce on Scarlett, was immediately knocked down by the force of Jonathan's hit and crashed heavily onto the ground. His groans of pain filled the night sky, and he sounded like he was about to die."Jonathan!" Scarlett cried as she saw him. It was as if she'd forgotten how much she despised Jonathan and called his name gratefully. She was at her weakest, and all she needed was a pillar of safety, and right now, Jonathan was exactly that.All she knew was that Jonathan was the only one w

Scarlett admitted that she'd never been one to say no to money, but she'd never thought that it would give others such a bad impression of her. If she were completely honest with herself, she knew that Justin was out of her league, and she also knew that there was no way she could continue her relationship with him. However, even though she knew that their relationship was doomed from the start, she was still heartbroken at the thought of cutting him out of her life. Even if they couldn't be together, there had to be a way for her to still keep him in her life.She would be the one to break up with Justin, but she wasn't going to accept Jonathan's or anyone else's money to do so. If she had no other choice but to lose the one she loved because of the mistakes that she'd made in the past, she was determined to at least maintain her dignity. As such, she refused to take the money. Besides, she just wasn't that kind of woman, nor would she ever be someone like that. Jonathan was sorely m

Scarlett's matter-of-fact tone as well as her heartless words only served to anger Jonathan even more. She really didn't know how to appreciate anything he did for her, and he didn't understand why he had risked his life to save her just now. She didn't even care that he got hurt to save her, and he felt as if he had done everything for nothing. Jonathan had completely lost his patience with her and picked her up to toss her violently onto the bed. He didn't care if she got hurt anymore and pulled at her clothes aggressively, exposing her pale skin to his eyes. She was beautiful and unblemished, which would have made her the perfect woman. It was such a shame that she just didn't know how to win his heart and only liked to anger him. Jonathan suspected that there was no one in the world who could anger him better than Scarlett could.Jonathan was lost in his own thoughts as he took in her alluring body, and he was suddenly struck by a dreadful thought. Was Justin so hopelessly in lo
