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

    This time, Jonathan heard her clearly. How could he not? He wasn't deaf after all. She'd clearly called him a 'fucking asshole,' and it fueled the anger in his heart. He was already in an exceedingly foul mood after nearly falling into Gracie's trap just now. He'd gone through hell and back just to rush to Scarlett's side, but not only was she unappreciative, she was even cussing him out right now.If it hadn't been for her, he wouldn't have had to rush so much, but she didn't seem to care. He was trying to be nice to her, but she just wasn't accepting his grace at all. Jonathan had always been a proud man; it was natural that he couldn't accept that Scarlett had cursed at him. Besides, he'd never been cussed at by a woman in his entire life, but Scarlett constantly did just that."Are you fucking sick? Do you really think I won't do anything to you just because you're like this right now?" he growled. However, before he could continue his tirade, she'd already slipped back into unco

    Seeing Scarlett finally awake made his initially frosty expression warm slightly. He held up the bowl of hot chicken soup that he'd brought and took a sip to test the temperature. The soup was quite good, and since it had been in the open for a while, it was just the right temperature for her to drink comfortably. Now that he was satisfied with it, he picked up a spoon and prepared to spoon-feed Scarlett, but her arm shot out to take the bowl from him. She coldly said, "There's no need for that. I can eat myself."Though the bowl of soup wasn't hot, she was also a patient who'd only just recovered from the effects of the drugs that Gracie had used on her. As such, her hand shook as she held the bowl of soup, making the soup slosh and the spoon rattle noisily as well. Seeing her own weak state irritated her, and she needed an outlet to release all her pent-up anger.She took a sip of the soup and then placed the bowl back on the table as she mildly said, "The soup is too hot for me."

    Jonathan struggled to suppress the anger in his heart, but it was proving to be difficult considering how close he was to completely losing control. If Scarlett kept on doing shit like this to provoke him, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't do anything bad to her."Are you done?" he asked coldly.Scarlett simply shook her head, and though she'd almost lost her voice by yelling at him, the fury and pain in her heart hadn't dissipated.The feeling of hopelessness was like a vice around her heart, and she didn't know how much longer she'd have to suffer like this. Perhaps this torture would never end, but she needed to vent her anger."Let me tell you that I will always fight you! I'll never stop fighting you! Everything that I'm doing to you now is nothing compared to what you've done to me! Why are you doing this to me? What did I ever do to you? Have you not had your fun already? Why did you have to promise me to another man? What gives you the right to do something like that t

  • All She Needs   Chapter 231 A Night in His Arms

    Seeing her fearful expression improved his mood immeasurably. The more afraid she was of him, the more he wanted to tease her. Though he thought that it was hilarious that she was so scared of him, his expression only became more thunderous as he coldly said, "Do it yourself and hurry up. If you wait for me to do it, I won't be gentle with you."However, despite his words, Jonathan immediately started working on removing her clothes after he'd finished talking. He didn't have the patience to play this game of cat and mouse with her. Scarlett, on the other hand, was terrified and struggled to stop him. She didn't think that he would be so animalistic as to do something like this to a patient in a hospital. Even on good days, Scarlett couldn't win against Jonathan when it came to physical strength. As such, it was unsurprising that she couldn't win against him while recovering from her wounds. It didn't take long before Jonathan completely took off her medical gown. Scarlett couldn't

    However, she couldn't find it in herself to be grateful to him when she recalled everything he'd done to her. There were times when he was just too cruel and heartless toward her.She didn't know how to face him, nor did she know what to say to him, making her feel awkward. She really hoped that she would wake up one day and never need to see him again. She really wished she could go back in time to her birthday and take back ever promising him anything. She really wished that she'd never met him because she was at a loss for how to deal with him. Scarlett's vision was getting blurrier, as if she were about to fall asleep. Perhaps it was the after-effects of the drugs from yesterday, but her head was still spinning, and all she wanted was to just go to sleep. Besides, if she was asleep, she wouldn't have to fret about how she was going to deal with Jonathan, and she could finally get away from the chatter of the world.Eventually, Scarlett fell asleep. She only woke up again at mid

    She didn't want him to see how scared she was. Her panic was steadily increasing, as she didn't know what he was planning to do to her.Suddenly, Jonathan grabbed her hands and forced them onto his pants. She was close to losing her mind, and her face flushed. Was he insane? How could he do this to her?She knew that her face must be as red as a tomato right now. She was thankful that the room was dark, so Jonathan couldn't see it. She was so embarrassed. Why did he like to torture her like this? If it weren't for the agreement binding the both of them stating that he could do whatever he wanted to her, she would've cussed him out already. As such, she couldn't say no to anything that he made her do within these 100 days.She'd prepared herself for the possibilities of such scenarios, but it didn't help. She didn't know what to do when things like this happened. She also knew how domineering and unreasonable Jonathan was, so she also knew that no amount of protesting could prevent

    Jonathan's face was incredibly angry as he spoke. "I did the right thing! He'd always accepted bribes throughout his career; I don't see how my accusations could be fabricated."It was nearly impossible for anyone to blame him for falsely accusing Brian. That jerk had always been underhanded and suffused with greed. If Brian had the guts to provoke him, then he deserved to suffer as well. Jonathan had no qualms about being rude, nor did he have the desire to ever keep his mouth shut.He didn't think he'd done anything wrong; to him, his actions were justified. He just hadn't expected his grandfather to catch wind of the incident so quickly. The Stantons must have played a role in reporting his interference to his grandfather. Otherwise, the old man would never have guessed that he was the one behind this!Besides, for the old man to know that Jonathan had only done all this for the sake of a woman was definitely more information than he could ever have gleaned from any of the news chan

  • All She Needs   Chapter 235 That Familiar Scent

    Truth be told, Scarlett didn't know how she was supposed to tell anyone that she was back, nor could she face the people who'd once been her life—her friends who'd once known her and would be able to see how much she'd changed for the worse. She couldn't face Dylan and Macy. Hell, she couldn't even look at Lucas because she knew she had become the most extreme version of herself.Sitting in the cab and watching the city's nightscape through the window, her heart was a bottomless abyss, as if the very essence of her being had been dug out. The five million dollars Jonathan had left her weighed her down even now; it was a burden she couldn't seem to bear. That kind of money wasn't something anyone could part with—it was the largest sum she'd ever gotten her hands on to date. She was certain that she'd never be able to earn it herself in this lifetime, even if she tried. And yet, to Jonathan, it was something he could casually leave on her bedside table without even batting an eye.It was

    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

    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. I remember how nice Jonathan trea

    "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
