On top of that, she could also tell that Scarlett was also an extraordinarily beautiful woman, and that made her feel slightly uncomfortable. She wasn't used to seeing someone more beautiful than her; it made her feel insecure, which manifested as anger toward Scarlett. To make matters worse, Scarlett clearly wasn't taking her seriously, pissing her off more.She stalked forward, pushed the waitress aside viciously, and raised her hand to slap Scarlett. Unfortunately for her, she hadn't expected Scarlett to react so quickly. Scarlett easily dodged her attack and even grabbed a nearby cup of water and splashed it all over her. Scarlett had already been hit once by Jonathan today, and she wasn't about to get hit a second time.Gracie had never had to ensure such humiliation in her life before. Not only had she failed in her attempt to teach this woman a lesson, but she'd also been completely drenched with water. Under the watchful gaze of all the onlookers, she felt as if she was abo
If Jonathan's throwing the glass at Gracie was anything to go by, it seemed as if she'd really pissed him off this time. Gracie was a smart woman. She knew that even if she stayed, things wouldn't end well for her. As such, she had no choice but to leave for now, despite her reluctance. After all, there was no point in insisting on staying and embarrassing herself further in front of all these people.She'd never been humiliated like this before in her life. She shot a furious glare at Scarlett before stalking away.This was entirely Scarlett's fault! Gracie couldn't wrap her head around how talented Scarlett must be for her to be able to effortlessly seduce someone as elusive as Jonathan. After all, Gracie was aware that Jonathan despised having meals with women, but somehow, Scarlett seemed to have miraculously been able to persuade him to eat with her. How Scarlett managed to accomplish such an impossible feat, Gracie would never know. She never would've guessed that someone who l
Scarlett's words made Jonathan's face fall. He'd never expected her to say something like that. She thought that he was disgusting? Did she really detest him that much? He slowly turned his attention back to the food on the table before him, hoping to distract himself, but found that he had completely lost his appetite. What the fuck was wrong with her? Was it her personal goal to piss him off at least once every single day? He redirected his gaze back to her and coldly asked, "Are you enjoying pissing me off? Let me remind you that everything that's happening to you right now is your own fault. If you hadn't seduced me that night at the bar, I would never have even noticed you."He was right; in the end, she had no one but herself to blame for the mess she was in right now. She'd had one too many drinks that night, which had clouded her judgment, and she'd chosen him to be the father of her child. If only she'd been more sober and thought it through, she probably wouldn't have met
Jonathan left hastily after that, and the weight in Scarlett's heart also dissipated along with his exit. She felt infinitely better as long as he wasn't around her. She really hoped that he would stay true to his word and not go to their room at all tonight. Little did she know that, though Jonathan had left, she was about to face someone who was worse than him.Scarlett's mood and appetite improved now that he'd left, and she studied the plates of delicious food that Jonathan had previously ordered. She hadn't had a decent meal today, and she was famished. Despite her hunger, she'd barely touched the food before because having to deal with Jonathan had completely diminished her appetite. With him gone, she happily dug into the food on the table and only returned to her room after she'd had her fill.The minute she exited the elevator to get to her room, she noticed that Gracie was waiting outside with her arms crossed. She had a menacing air about her, and Scarlett could tell almos
Although Scarlett's ears were ringing, she heard Gracie's words clearly. She finally came to the realization that this crazy bitch was actually related to that dickhead in glasses at the jacuzzi. Well, Scarlett couldn't say that she was surprised. After all, both of them were equally uncultured. She simply didn't understand. Did the Stanton family not value teaching their children morals, or were they all just genetically disposed to be a bunch of asshats? She couldn't help but feel sorry for the ancestors of the Stanton family. Imagine trying your best to continue your lineage only to end up with a bunch of uncultured swine as your descendants. However, it wasn't the time for Scarlett to feel sorry for anyone since she was currently in deep shit herself. She idly wondered if this was why Jonathan had dragged her to the restaurant to eat with him and even insisted that she order food that she liked. Perhaps he'd felt guilty for offering her to Brian, and dinner had been his way of ma
Jonathan quickly wrapped up discussing the details of their business with the crafty Brian and even graciously declined the two beautiful women that the latter had insisted on presenting him with. All Jonathan wanted to do was get back to Scarlett's side.However, even after Jonathan had waited in their room for a long time, Scarlett still hadn't shown up. He couldn't help but wonder if Scarlett had secretly left while he'd been gone. At first, he simply dismissed the thought as impossible. However, after searching their room, he realized that her bags and belongings were all missing, confirming his suspicions that she'd left. What a bitch! Did she forget all about her agreement with him?Jonathan angrily lit a cigarette and puffed a cloud of smoke into the air, shrouding his face and adding an air of mystery to him. He really couldn't understand what she was thinking at all. Did he not treat her well enough? Did she really expect him to treat her like a priceless piece of treasure?
"Do you know how fucked you are now that you've done that to me?" Jonathan growled at Gracie. Never in his life had he met such a foolishly bold woman who thought that drugging him was a good idea. It was an insult to his very existence! He'd never liked Gracie to begin with. Now he despised her very being, so he would never sleep with her, especially not under such circumstances.However, Gracie was persistent. She struggled to crawl back onto the bed and kept trying to seduce Jonathan with her body. She blew gusts of warm air onto the shell of his ears with her red lips, desperately trying to awaken the desire in the man before her. She'd already committed to the plan; she couldn't back out now. She had to make sure that they actually slept together tonight, or she might never get the opportunity again. Besides, if she didn't sleep with him tonight, he'd never just let the matter slide. It was now or never!"Damn it!" Jonathan cursed in his heart. He was so close to completely losi
Even when she was literally on the brink of death, Gracie still made sure to talk shit about Scarlett. However, Jonathan wasn't about to fall for her tricks anymore. He mustered all the strength he had left to give her another resounding slap.In the other room, Scarlett felt as if she were stuck in a never-ending loop of nightmares. In her nightmares, she was being assaulted by men. They were all using her as their object of desire to satisfy themselves, but she couldn't seem to fight back at all. She could no longer differentiate her dreams from reality. If this was a dream, why did it feel so real?Conversely, if this was happening in real life, then why was she completely unable to break free and escape? After a while, her nightmare finally changed. However, the new scene was equally terrifying as the last. In this nightmare, she was the only person left in the world. She was stuck in pitch-black nothingness, and despite pricking her ears to try and gauge if there was anyone with
