All She Needs Chapter 197 On A Date
"Why are you so angry if you're not jealous? Okay, let me explain. I had a girlfriend once, but that was four years ago—we've long since broken up. The only person I love now is you, alright? Please don't be mad at me anymore." Jonathan had no intention of hiding his romantic history from Scarlett. He was a down-to-earth person and would never casually pursue other women besides the one he loved. After he'd broken up with his girlfriend four years ago, he'd only ever addressed his physical needs by being with Monica. Mingling around with other women and infidelity had never been and would never be part of his nature.He owed Scarlett for getting him where he was today. After she'd inadvertently taken advantage of him six years ago, he'd stopped frequenting nightclubs or bars in search of casual hookups. Moreover, now that he had her, his interest in entertaining other women was all the more nonexistent."Oh, so apart from your fiancée, you had a girlfriend before that too. How charming
All She Needs Chapter 198 That's So Disgusting
"By the way, this steak is really good as well. It's different from the one I had last time," Scarlett remarked. Having learned her lesson, she refrained from drinking too much and instead picked up her knife and fork to enjoy the steak placed in front of her. As she ate, she noticed the unique texture of the meat. It was unlike anything she'd ever tasted before. Although she couldn't exactly pinpoint what differentiated it from the other steaks she'd tried in the past, she recognized its distinct flavor and thought it to be exceptionally delicious."Is it? In that case, have some more." Jonathan watched the satiated expression on her face as she savored her meal indulgently. There was a bit of sauce at the corner of her lips, and he stood to wipe it away before licking it off his fingers."You—I—you—that's so disgusting!" Scarlett was appalled by the fact that he'd actually swallowed whatever remained on her lips with no regard whatsoever toward personal hygiene."Not bad." The infuri
All She Needs Chapter 199 A Little Anxious
"Dean Leonard, are you that keen on crossing me the minute you return to Catheden?" Jonathan glared at his cousin. Dean was evidently trying to sabotage his relationship with Scarlett. Their relationship was already unstable, and Dean was only adding fuel to the fire."Don't try to intimidate me now, Jonathan. I might have gone along with it when we were kids and you hit me to make me obey your commands, but I am a grown adult with a degree now. I'm not afraid of you. And I'll be honest with you here. I like Scarlie as well as you do, and I will compete with you fairly." Dean's expression was proud and unrelenting. Despite his cousin's infallible perfection in almost every aspect, Dean was still confident. After all, countless outstanding women had professed their undying love to him when he'd been in Anglia."Compete with me? The way you are now? Do you know that Scar has a son? Do you still wish to pursue her?" Jonathan's words were callous. So what if she was a single mother? Did th
All She Needs Chapter 200 You're Mistaken
"You should stop making things up. I told you I don't like him, and that's never going to change. Moreover, he said it himself—he doesn't like women with children." Scarlett's rage surged once more as she recalled Jonathan's words."If you really don't like him, why do you care? His words shouldn't and wouldn't affect you this much unless you like him." Dean believed that Scarlett must have some feelings toward Jonathan. If a woman was this affected by a man's words, it meant that she still had a place for him in her heart. Besides, Dean was well aware of his cousin's charisma. Forget women; even men had wanted to flirt with him in the past."Alright, whatever you say. Regardless, I don't want to see his face right now." Scarlett couldn't find the right words to express her feelings eloquently. She did have some feelings for Jonathan, but that didn't give him the right to just hurt her so callously.Dean stared at her cheeks, which were flushed with anger; those slender fingers of hers
All She Needs Chapter 201 By His Side
Jonathan knew, deep down, that all of their latest releases were strictly confidential until their respective launch dates. It was impossible for any employees to have leaked such top-secret information out, least of all to a competitor. The only suspect he could think of was Tristan. When he'd still been working for the company, Tristan had been the deputy manager of the product release department. Of course, his actual capabilities hardly did justice to the position he held, but his father had insisted that he hold a decent position in the company despite his incompetence since he was the second son of the family after all.Jonathan regretted allowing Tristan to participate in their release launch this time. When he'd made the decision to include Tristan in the launch, Jonathan had thought that, as the department's deputy manager, he should, at the very least, be involved in the most basic aspects of his department. Otherwise, he would just fool around at the office, his contribution
All She Needs Chapter 202 Stop Worrying
"Good," Jonathan replied softly. After a while, he released her from his grip, turning instead to the contracts and reports piled on his desk. As he read through them, a self-deprecating smile crept up on his face."What?" Scarlett asked, confused by his strange smile."Nothing. It's just—for the prestigious Leonard Corporations to come to the point where our integrity is questioned and people left and right are rushing to terminate their contracts with us and demanding compensation for it … I once thought of myself as invincible, someone worthy of the trust bestowed on me by the public, but now that we're in a crisis, the only people willing to stand by me are a mere handful. It's pathetic," he said self-mockingly."There are still people who believe in you," Scarlett attempted to soothe him. "I'm sure you know better than anyone that the biggest challenges a company could ever face are loss and profitability. It's not that they don't trust you anymore or didn't trust you in the firs
All She Needs Chapter 203 I'm Late
It was past 8.30 pm, but Tristan was still nowhere to be found. Deep down, Scarlett knew that he would come. This waiting game he was making her play was simply a way to test her sincerity.When the clock inched toward 9 pm, her phone rang. A glance at the caller ID had her answering the phone immediately."Hey, Ms. Langston. I'm here. Where are you?" Tristan's voice was annoyed, to say the least.Scarlett told him the number of her booth and patiently waited for him to approach her.When Tristan finally arrived, the sight that greeted him was of Scarlett, elegantly sitting in the booth, dressed in a blue camisole with a professional blazer covering her exposed shoulders. She was sipping a cup of coffee as she waited, her demeanor poised and graceful.The sight of her stirred the dormant jealousy in his gut. Jonathan was always the one who got the best things. His hatred for his stepbrother grew even more as he realized that this beautiful woman now belonged to him. Still, considering
All She Needs Chapter 204 Fuck Our Family Ties
Jonathan arrived just in time to witness Scarlett lose her balance and fall over. Hurriedly, he parked his car and rushed to her side.Just as he was helping her up from the ground, he was startled to see the bloodstains on the side of her head. Panicked, he quickly examined her head for any other wounds, only to discover numerous abrasions all over her scalp."Scar, what happened? How are you feeling?" he asked anxiously. When he'd first seen her on the ground earlier, his heart had almost stopped. Now that she was in his arms again, he forced down the swell of panic that threatened to engulf him."No—nothing. It was Tristan. He wanted to steal the evidence from me, but all he got was an empty flash drive. The voice recorder is here, in my pocket." Scarlett was panting slightly as she spoke. There were even hints of a smile that flitted past her face."He, what? How can you still smile at that? Do you know how fucking dangerous that was? Are you planning to throw your life away just f

All She Needs Chapter 393 Warmth
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
All She Needs Chapter 391 The First Night
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
All She Needs Chapter 390 Numb
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. I remember how nice Jonathan trea
All She Needs Chapter 389 Everything Has Changed
"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
All She Needs Chapter 388 Lingering Feelings
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
All She Needs Chapter 387 Threats
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
All She Needs Chapter 385 Broken-hearted
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
