Chapter 12 Unreasonable

She hadn't expected Jonathan, who usually cared for her and doted on her in every possible way, to lose his temper with her to such an extent. "You don’t love me anymore. You're in love with another woman. Why are you yelling at me?" Monica started to cry like a baby.

Jonathan grabbed the magazine on the table and threw it straight at Monica’s head. If he was capable of cherishing this woman, he could also immediately get her out of his life. He only wanted an obedient woman, not one who would always oppose him and be a nuisance. If he could design a special wedding dress for her, he could also make another woman wear the same wedding dress. He could do whatever he wanted.

Jonathan didn’t have a one and only, and Monica was certainly not such a person for him. "You ceased to be a part of my life the moment you didn’t show up in my fashion show."

"Wait…are you kidding me, Jonathan? Please don’t…" She knew he was serious about this, but she didn’t want to accept it. "I know it’s my fault for not showing up, but how could you be so affectionate with the secretary? Did you even love me at all?" She sobbed in pain and rushed toward Jonathan to hug him, refusing to let go.

She hadn't shown up at the fashion show because she had seen Jonathan’s affectionate behavior toward his secretary in this very office with her own eyes two days ago.

As Jonathan’s girlfriend, how could she pretend as if everything was alright after seeing something like that? How could she still help him with his fashion show the next day? Besides, Monica didn’t know that Jonathan was going to give her such a big surprise and personally design that wedding dress, Dusk Skyline, for her. It was too late for her to regret it now.

"Please don’t be so cold to me. I just have a short fuse, but that’s because I love you…"

"Fredrick!" Jonathan yelled at the door and coldly pushed Monica away.

"Yes, Mr. Leonard?" Fredrick had been waiting outside because he knew Jonathan, and at a time like this, he knew he would be needed sooner or later.

"Send off our guest." Although Jonathan had only uttered four words, Frederick could no longer hear the tenderness Jonathan usually had with Monica. Only coldness and ruthlessness remained.

"Uh…You should leave for now, Miss Winters." Monica gave Fredrick a cold look, then left sadly.

"When will Mr. Locke arrive at the hotel?" Jonathan asked casually as he sorted out the documents in front of him.

"He called just now to say that he's already arrived," Fredrick answered immediately, proving his efficiency.

"Where’s the evidence? Do you have everything ready?" Jonathan looked up at him suddenly, his eyes full of questions.

"Uh…I’ll prepare them right away." Originally, Fredrick had hoped to receive some credit for his efforts, but Jonathan’s words made him feel incompetent instead.

At the Langston mansion.

"Who are you? How can you barge in here so casually? Don’t you know that this is the governor's house?" Mr. Murphy, the butler, opened the door to be greeted by the sight of a little boy running into the mansion without saying a word. Lucas looked around at every single inch of the place, and although it wasn’t too luxurious, he became increasingly curious. After all, it was his first time in his grandfather’s house.

"Who is it, Mr. Murphy?" A sharp female voice came from inside the mansion. For a moment, Lucas got excited and was about to rush in when he bumped into a middle-aged woman.

"Ow…" Kate Somerset held her stomach and yelled in pain. "Who is this brat?"

Kate's first words had already given Lucas a bad impression; he felt disgusted.

Judging by the woman’s appearance and her tone when she asked who it was, she must be the mistress of the house. So, was she the one who'd ruined the relationship between his mommy and Grandpa?

    Lucas immediately stood up straight and kicked Kate with his tiny foot. Then he ran inside without looking back. "Ah! Mr. Murphy, hurry up and grab that brat. How can you let some stranger in here?" She ordered loudly, but Mr. Murphy never moved. "What are you doing?""Miss Langston…" Mr. Murphy uttered the words after a pause. Realizing that that woman had returned, Kate hurriedly straightened her clothes and changed her expression. She absolutely couldn’t let that woman see her lose her composure."Hey! What do you think you’re doing? Where's the woman who'd been so determined to never return to this place ever again? Now, look who’s going back on her promise. If you have the guts, then follow through with your promise and don’t step foot in here again." Kate put her hands on her thick waist and tauntingly walked toward Scarlett at the door.Scarlett didn’t want to waste her breath with her, so she walked around Kate to go inside the mansion."Don’t come in here. You’re no long

    "It’s nothing…Mr. Murphy is just looking through some things.""Mommy, did Grandma use all these things when she was still alive?" Lucas’ delicate voice could be clearly heard from where Theodore stood. "Yeah." Scarlett walked down the stairs, only to find that her father, whom she hadn’t seen for the past six years, had returned home. "Let’s go." Staring at Theodore, she took Lucas’ hand and continued on her way."Scarlett, you’re back." Theodore was a little emotional. He'd missed her every second she'd been away. Lucas’ small figure caught his eye. "Who is this boy?" "You haven’t eaten anything, right, Theodore? I’ll ask Mr. Murphy to get some food prepared." Kate held Theodore’s hand, afraid the father and daughter would get too close. "Where are you going, Scarlett? Stay here at home." Theodore pushed Kate away to stop Scarlett and Lucas.Home, he said. Scarlett found that word laughable. "This is your home, not mine or Lucas.'""Lucas? This is Lucas? Is he your son?"S

    "You’re the governor of Atville, who is loved by thousands of people. Many people will kill to have a relationship with you. Don’t you think it’s funny that you’re telling me you’ll die without me?" Although Scarlett appeared calm on the outside, she was struggling to control her emotions and remain polite as she remembered what this man had done to her mother."I’m being framed. You have to help me.""How am I supposed to do that?""You’re a famous lawyer; I’m sure you’ll find a way. As long as you’re willing to give it a shot, you can save me." As soon as Theodore said this, Scarlett immediately understood why he was being so kind to her, even to the extent of hitting Kate just now. It seemed that he just wanted to take advantage of her status as a lawyer and have her represent him in court. "Six years ago, you were the one who wanted to cut ties with me! So, whatever happens to you now has nothing to do with me. You should ask somebody else."All of this was Theodore’s karma

    The man that she'd investigated was just a civil servant, so how had he been able to pay Theodore ten million dollars? He must have someone backing him up.She couldn't help but be impressed by her son. Even while asleep, he was still able to bring her inspiration.Today, Scarlett was dressed in white work attire. After actively searching for him, she eventually found the man who paid Theodore. The civil servant was no match for her silver tongue, and after a lengthy back and forth, he finally slipped up and unwittingly revealed details about the man behind the money.The man provided Scarlett with a name and told her to go to Leonard Corporations and ask for a person named Johnny. Then she would be able to find the culprit behind everything."Hello, I’m looking for an employee here called Johnny." Scarlett showed up at Leonard Corporations using her identity as a lawyer.The receptionist looked shocked upon hearing Scarlett use the name Johnny so casually because she knew exactly

    Scarlett violently turned towards him, losing her composure. Her bravado from just now had all dissipated, and she wore an embarrassed expression."What are you talking about?" Her gaze shifted guiltily, as if she were hiding something. To prevent herself from losing control of her emotions, she quickly picked up the documents from the table. "These documents contain all the information on Theodore Langston’s case, and it includes a ten million dollar check from you. I also have a witness, and he's already signed the witness papers." She had to settle Jonathan’s involvement in this case today.As Scarlett was explaining, Jonathan slowly got up and started closing the distance between them."Now you've become the main instigator of defamation in this case. If you stop now, I'll be able to plead for leniency in court."Jonathan was already directly in front of her, and Scarlett had no choice but to raise her head to look at the despicable man. "Based on my years of experience, I may

  • All She Needs   Chapter 18 The Room From Six Years Ago

    Six years ago, Jonathan had only been a patron of this establishment, but now he was the owner of the place. Thus, it was no surprise that their attitudes toward Jonathan were completely different.Jonathan forced Scarlett into the room where they'd spent the night together six years ago. The familiar scene made her heart race and her cheeks flush red. All she wanted to do was find a corner where she could hide."Sir, here is your room." The attendant shrewdly left after delivering the wine.Scarlett was rooted to the spot. She didn't understand what Jonathan had planned for her, but she had a faint inkling of what was about to happen.When in doubt about what to do, run away. This was what her son always said.Scarlett rushed to the door, but regardless of how much she banged on it, she couldn't get it to open.She knew this was all Jonathan's plan. The attendant from just now must’ve locked them both in the room.Turning around to face Jonathan, she saw that he was lounging le

    Jonathan kissed the woman passionately, getting past all of her defenses and dominatingly sucking on her skin.She was completely enveloped by the man’s breath, which was laced with the taste of red wine. It was like the lingering sweetness of wine after a tasting.Scarlett’s eyes were wide open as she stared at the dark ceiling. The fragmented memories in her head were no longer just fragments but had coalesced to form a scene.Everything was the same. The scenario. The location. The atmosphere. The only thing that changed was the timing.She wanted to resist, but her body felt weak. She was slowly losing her will to resist his kisses. Soon, her petite body started moving in sync with his under the influence of his passion.Her black tank top was slowly removed from her porcelain-white skin, revealing her breasts. A large hand caressed her waist and slowly moved toward her breasts.She exhaled lightly and furrowed her delicate eyebrows. She meant it as a sign of resistance towar

    It was as if she'd completely exposed herself. She hastily tidied up her hair and clothes, but quickly stopped again."Come clean or you’ll face the consequences. If you don't give me a good explanation today, then you can forget about going upstairs to rest." He gave the table a knock as if he were actually questioning her in court."I don't know what you’re talking about." She sat defensively back on the couch and fidgeted with her long fingers. Just this small action was enough to reinforce Lucas’ hunch that his mother was hiding something from him."Then I’ll lay out the facts for you. Number one, you left the office before 12 pm. Number two, you haven't been answering your phone since 1 pm. Number three, this was because you went to Leonard Corporations and were forcefully dragged away by Jonathan Leonard. As for where the two of you went afterward, that's for you to answer."Scarlett stared at her son, who sported a serious expression. His manipulativeness was comparable to t

    Scarlett knew there was no real solution to the problem between her and Jonathan. The both of them were just choosing to ignore what had happened between them.There was nothing left for them to do to fix what had been broken.Until now, she still felt as if she was in a dream. Was she really married to Jonathan? Was she really living with him in such a lavish house? She found it hard to wrap her mind around it because it was all so surreal.The warm water in the tub sloshed gently over her body, and she felt her eyelids droop. These few days have been tough, and she hadn't been able to sleep well. All she wanted to do was fall asleep in this tub. If she were any less rational than she was right now, she probably would've just fallen asleep in the tub.Scarlett changed into a simple set of pajamas after her bath, completely ignoring the sexy lingerie set that Jonathan had picked out for her. She could probably wear that lingerie set if she were alone but she couldn't possibly w

  • All She Needs   Chapter 392 Disbelief

    Jonathan's tone was loving and teasing, and she was immediately transported back to the carefree times she had spent with Jonathan at university. Back then, they didn't have much to worry about and could just enjoy dating each other without reality holding them back."Have you had breakfast? I'm making breakfast right now. Do you want some?" Scarlett asked."No, thank you. I don't like eating in the morning. You can go ahead and enjoy your breakfast," Jonathan replied. Jonathan never got into the habit of eating breakfast; after he went overseas, he had less reason to have breakfast. As such, he never ate breakfast anymore. After Scarlett had finished her food, Jonathan drove them to city hall to sign the necessary documents for their marriage.The entire time, Scarlett felt as if she were in a dream. Everything that was happening seemed so surrea. The absurdity of the events and the fact that she had not slept well in two days only made her more dazed. Scarlett hadn't realize

    Scarlett immediately understood what he was trying to say and bashfully lowered her gaze. Since when had he become so sleazy? Going overseas had done nothing to teach him to be a better man. Scarlett didn't know how to answer him, so she stared silently at the ground. Suddenly, she thought of something and raised her head to say, "Jonathan, I have to tell you something. I can marry you, but you must promise me one thing. We won't have a wedding ceremony."Jonathan was upset by that suggestion, and he huffed, "What? No ceremony? Are you planning on just getting married in secret? Is it that embarrassing to be married to me? Is that why you don't want a ceremony? If you don't want to marry me, just tell me! You don't have to do all this to show how reluctant you are to marry me!" Jonathan had no idea what was going on in her head. What woman would outright refuse to have a wedding ceremony? Any woman would love to have a grand ceremony to celebrate her marriage, but now that Sca

    Just then, Scarlett heard someone call her name from behind her, "Scarlett?"Scarlett turned in confusion and realized that it was the school counselor. She never expected to see him here, and her heart was filled with warmth at the sight of him. She hadn't seen him since graduating, so she didn't think he would still remember her. She hastily wiped the tears from her face before greeting him with a brilliant smile, "Mr. Brown! Why are you here?""I had nothing to do today, so I thought I would drop by to play basketball. How's work? Why aren't you here with Jonathan? I can't believe it's been a year already. Time really flies … I still remember when Jonathan would play basketball, and you would cheer for him from the sidelines. I miss all of you, so come by with Jonathan next time! By the way, don't forget to send me a wedding invitation when both of you get married. After all, I've got my eye on both of you, and I'm sure you will end up together.

    "Hey! What are you doing? Are you going home now?" Scarlett asked."Of course! Where else would I go? Didn't we just break up? Why are you calling me again? Don't tell me that you miss me already!" Teresa's voice which was filled with glee, came from the other end of the receiver. Hearing her voice made Scarlett feel much better than before, but Scarlett was worried that she would no longer be so happy after Scarlett tells her the truth. She didn't want her problems to affect the lives of those around her. Since she made a mistake, she would be the one to bear responsibility, and no one else should have to suffer because of her … especially not her best friend.Scarlett hesitated before asking, " Teresa, do you like your job?""What's not to like? I love it! Being a teacher is my dream! My students are obedient and understanding. My job also gives me a sense of accomplishment! Why are you asking me this now? I've told you before that my dream is to be one of the best teachers in

    As she spoke, Scarlett attempted to push Jonathan away, but he was too strong. She couldn't fight back at all. She felt like a fragile child in front of Jonathan, and he could crush her into pieces with just a little force. Jonathan leaned in and whispered coldly, "Do you think I’m still as compliant as before, allowing you to push me away repeatedly? Let me tell you, I’m not the same. How well do you think you know me? Let me make it clear, I will get what I want, including you!" Scarlett sensed the threat in Jonathan's words and looked at this unfamiliar man with some caution. She asked cautiously, "Jonathan, are you threatening me? What exactly do you mean? Why don't you just tell me instead of playing games? My time is not free, so let me go if you won't talk. I still have to work tomorrow." Scarlett was truly exhausted at this moment. Listening to her colleagues discuss Jonathan in the office had already put her on edge. After work, she spent so much time walking aroun

    Jonathan did not take her comments to heart and continued coldly, "You came home quite late, Scarlett. It seems like you've learned to enjoy life more now, huh? Weren't you just a bookworm before? Why are you so late today? You've changed a lot after starting work and made more friends, huh? Tell me, who were you out having dinner with just now? A colleague? Your boss? Or is it your boyfriend? Whoever it is, it seems like he takes good care of you, and since you were having so much fun with him, why bother coming back home in the evening?" Scarlett could hardly believe the cruel words that came from his mouth. When did Jonathan become so heartless? Although he could be a bit carefree before, he would never say such things to her. In Scarlett's eyes, Jonathan had always been gentle and caring, completely different from the person uttering these words now. Scarlett felt infuriated and couldn't help defending herself, "It's not what you think! I was just having a cup of coffee with

  • All She Needs   Chapter 386 It's Been Awhile

    The two best friends chatted, and before they knew it, time had passed as they enjoyed their coffee. Soon, night fell, and the sky that was once adorned with the setting sun was now full of twinkling stars. It was beautiful, but it also reminded Scarlett of the day she parted ways with Jonathan. That day was just like today, a beautiful night with bright stars. However, things had changed, and she could never sit here and talk with Jonathan as she did that day. Teressa noticed the shift in mood from across the table. After hesitating, Teresa couldn't help but speak up, "Scarlett, Jonathan ... He's coming back soon." Teresa didn’t know the details of Scarlett and Jonathan’s relationship, but she knew they went on a trip together during their final year while everyone was looking for internships. It was quite sudden since Scarlett barely hung out with Jonathan. Then, there were rumors that they were dating, but Jonathan went abroad to study soon after, and Scarlett never menti

    Scarlett sighed heavily at these words. “Yeah, there’s no way our small magazine can get an interview with the great Jonathan Leonard. Only those major news outlets have the qualifications for that. It’s his first time returning to the country after going abroad, so this is big news. The media would be busy with this, but it’s certainly not for us to handle.” Just then, the editor-in-chief of the office suddenly appeared. He must have overheard their discussions outside and sternly said, “Am I paying you to gossip around? You’re all good for nothing. You’re all itching to gossip now that I’ve eased up on you?” Once he roared, everyone fell silent. They either looked down at their computers or pretended to be busy with their work. No one responded to him. Who dared to oppose the editor? His words were final. However, Scarlett, who had always disliked this editor, felt grateful to him at this moment. She thanked him silently for saving her from her colleague’s gossiping. This wa
