All She Needs Chapter 23 So You’re the Bitch Messing Things Up
He was already in his 30s, but he still hadn't had a child. But the child in front of him looked just like him—strikingly similar to a photo of himself when he was much younger.If he had a son, he would probably look just like this little kid."Jonathan, what are you saying? Why are you admitting to this? He’s just a little liar.""Everyone heard him, right? He’s my dad." Lucas gleefully hugged Jonathan’s neck, and to further sell his story, he even called him "Daddy" and planted a kiss on his cheek. After that, he even struck a victorious pose toward a nearby hidden camera.Once the crowd had dispersed, Lucas placed the camera in his backpack."Where do you live? I’ll take you home."At the hotel doors, Jonathan looked at the little liar. His deception skills weren't bad; perhaps he could've even won an award for best performance."Forget it." The kid turned and left without even looking back."Lying is bad. You should consider yourself lucky that you met me today. You should
All She Needs Chapter 24 Did She Hit You?
"Wow! I can’t believe you have so many hooligans around you." The two of them were still in their pajamas and were living under the same roof. It was inevitable that Kate thought they were together.Dylan grabbed Kate’s hand and violently pushed her, making her fall painfully to the ground."You fucking adulterous couple! How dare you join hands to bully me?" Kate just sat on the floor and wept. "What did your dad ever do to you? Why are you doing this to him? How could you let your man set up a trap for your own father? I've seen ungrateful daughters, but I've never met one like you. God, please give her divine retribution.""Mommy, what's wrong?" Lucas came to the front door and rubbed his eyes sleepily. "Nothing’s wrong." Scarlett walked toward Lucas and held him in her arms. All the grievances in her heart seemed to melt away when she hugged him."Mommy, did she hit you?" Lucas looked at Scarlett’s red face, which had the clear imprint of a hand."Ignore her; let’s go back i
All She Needs Chaper 25 I Don’t Like That Woman
"That doesn't count as a master plan; it was just something small that I'd planned to give him a taste of his own medicine." Lucas crossed his arms and looked like he was counting the lines on his fingers."Do you think this is funny? How could you make a joke out of something like this?" Scarlett felt like the ground beneath her had collapsed as she managed to get the words out.Wasn’t this too much of a coincidence?How could Lucas somehow claim that Jonathan was his own father? And to make matters worse, now the whole world knew about it too. Was this really meant to be? After all, Lucas was Jonathan’s son, and they were destined to cross paths in their lifetimes.It was only then that Dylan understood that this was all Lucas’ prank and that he'd misunderstood Scarlett."To repent for my sins, I've prepared a present for you, Mommy." Lucas took out a stack of documents from his backpack. However, he suddenly took out a pen and crossed out words from certain pages. "What are the
All She Needs Chapter 26 Genetics Are Truly Amazing
All she wanted was to live a simple and peaceful life with Lucas and for Jonathan to never find out that Lucas was his son. To settle the matter with Theodore, Scarlett returned to her childhood home and told him about her plans.As long as Theodore used his current connections to support Scarlett's candidacy for governor, then she would find a way and use her new authority as governor to let Theodore enjoy his retirement days at Langston Mansion rather than in prison. At first, Theodore was skeptical, but after he saw Scarlett’s expressionless face, he understood that this was a huge compromise on her end and eventually agreed to her terms. After all, going against her would gain him nothing, and without her help, he would definitely end up in jail.However, Kate wasn't as indifferent as Theodore. She yelled at Scarlett like a madwoman, cussing at and scolding her, but Scarlett was unphased. Her reputation as a prestigious attorney wasn't just for show. All those years of being an
All She Needs Chapter 27 How Are We Related?
Lucas had even started swearing. No one would believe that Jonathan and Lucas weren't related to each other. Even if people ignored the fact that Lucas looked exactly like Jonathan, just their personalities alone would've been enough to prove their relationship. They both had a cold way with words that brought people to tears and rendered others speechless. This was enough of an indicator that they were father and son.Suddenly, Lucas’ youthful voice rang out from beside Scarlett. "Mommy, why do I think that I look so similar to Jonathan?"Scarlett’s heart skipped a beat, and she started to panic. Though she was panicking internally, she still had to keep her expression calm and collected. She could never let Lucas find out how he'd been conceived. If Lucas discovered that the romantic way she'd described it to him was a lie, he would be devastated. She couldn't bear for her son to be sad, so she would rather endure all the suffering by herself."Well…" Her tone was slightly frantic
All She Needs Chapter 28 Let’s Go to the Haunted House
Dylan, who was holding Lucas’s cartoon backpack, gave a brilliant smile. Scarlett had always thought that Dylan’s smile made him especially handsome. Dylan said, "We can go anywhere you want; we took the day off from work just to spend time with you."Lucas was over the moon when he heard this. "Awesome! Uncle Dylan is the best. Mommy is the worst."Scarlett was exasperated. He'd been in her belly for nine months! How could he say that? Scarlett started internally cursing Jonathan’s pervasive genes again.Coincidentally, Jonathan, who was sitting in the president’s office, had a feeling that someone was talking about him again. He was puzzled. Why were people constantly talking about him?The trio arrived at Atville’s largest amusement park. The amusement park was breathtaking, and they were constantly awed by the eye-catching scenery.The amusement park was Lucas’s idea. When he first suggested it, both Scarlett and Dylan were shocked. They couldn't believe that Lucas was interes
All She Needs Chapter 29 The Father of the Devilishly Handsome Child
Scarlett got slightly braver the further she ventured into the haunted house, but she was still terrified. She could only put on a calm and collected face while in the haunted house, but once they got out, she couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, I’m never going back in there. Lucas, don’t torture your mommy like that next time.""Unless Lucas thinks that he can live just fine without a mom," Scarlett secretly thought, but naturally, she didn't say that to Lucas.The president’s office, which was on the highest floor of Atville's largest building, was decorated with expensive but tasteful decorations. Brightly colored abstract art pieces by renowned artists from around the world hung on the walls.Jonathan was standing near the floor-to-ceiling windows, dressed in a black Gucci suit. The cut of the suit highlighted his amazing figure. Clothing by Gucci was always slightly smaller than usual, so it was suitable for men with great figures to show off their bodies. It was low-key, making
All She Needs Chapter 30 A Mad Person Willing to Die for a Cause
His voice was dripping with sarcasm, and Scarlett was stunned. He'd asked her out for dinner because of this? "Thank you; this was all thanks to you," Scarlett answered matter-of-factly.Jonathan’s expression darkened, and he stared coldly at Scarlett. However, Scarlett ignored him and kept casually eating her steak.Jonathan asked again, "Miss Langston, I heard you have a son named Lucas, and the only man that you are close to is Dylan Fairmont. So why is your son Lucas Langston and not Lucas Fairmont?"The sudden question made Scarlett panic. She couldn't stay calm when she heard him bring up Lucas. He had people investigate her, and he even knew about Dylan, so he must've found out everything about her. But it seemed like he mistook Lucas for Dylan’s son.How could this happen? Scarlett wasn't sure if she should be happy that he didn't know about Lucas being his son or if she should be upset that he couldn't even recognize his own son.However, she'd also spent years in the law

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
