All She Needs Chapter 241 The Schemes of Women
Daphne hadn't expected to see Scarlett here, of all places. Her fury surged as soon as she caught sight of the other woman, her eyes rolling in mirth.At this point, many had gathered in the corridor, awaiting their chances to shine, but Daphne was the only prominently established public figure among the throngs of undergraduates and a few less renowned stars.Gossip pervaded the air, as it had the tendency to do every time groups of women came together. "Hey, do y'all know that someone important is coming today?" Someone spoke up amid the crowd. "I heard he's the sole heir and current president of LM Corporations. He just returned from studying abroad—my sources say that his looks are impeccable beyond belief.""I've heard of that too! Christ, if we could make a lasting impression on him, we'd be set for life, don't you think? Goodness, how I wish I could see him right now!"Someone else laughed. "You're delusional. Do you take him for an ordinary, rich, pretty boy? He's the president
All She Needs Chapter 242 The Reunion
After the makeup artist's touch, Daphne's already stunning face became even more captivating. Scarlett felt her own hopes diminishing as she gazed at the other woman's mesmerizing features.How could anyone not pick someone with a face like that? Despite her own delicate beauty, her inadequacy in front of Daphne's professional radiance taunted her at the back of her mind. If a plastic reconstruction could yield such breathtaking results, Scarlett supposed the surgery had been a massive success, a remarkable achievement attained by Daphne's beauticians.As she was lost in thought, the staff members prepared them all for the commencement of the audition. The fashion items released by LM Corporations had always been top-notch. A few people had already gone in before her. Sure enough, it was soon her turn.Scarlett exuded a youthful charm along with a unique kind of sensuality that was difficult to replicate. That, along with her well-proportioned bodice and impressive curves, made the ite
All She Needs Chapter 243 A Fellow Competitor's Resentment
The displeasure on the staff member's face intensified as he vented, "It's really infuriating. Everyone was just preparing to leave work when one of our higher-ups complained about the unfairness of our selection process. They even implied that something inappropriate had been going on within our team and demanded that we come clean. The president decided to thoroughly investigate this matter, but don't you worry; I'm sure he's a man of justice, and our selection process has never been fairer. One of your fellow competitors must have been feeling resentful after being rejected. Regardless, you have nothing to worry about. Our president is hardly unreasonable. As long as you answer his queries honestly, nothing bad will happen to you."Despite his attempts at reassuring her, Scarlett was still nervous about the imminent encounter with the company's president. She'd never imagined herself in a position where her integrity would be questioned by someone else. It was truly ironic.She'd be
All She Needs Chapter 244 We Meet Once More
Jonathan remained stoic, as if he hadn't even heard her speak at all. A brief pause followed before he turned to address the staff member in charge. "The performance of the candidate your team selected from the auditions is stellar. I have no objections. Leave us now."The staff member beamed before leaving the room, thankful that the president had no objections to their proceedings. Fortunately, Scarlett's performance had managed to awe Jonathan as well, for he seemed incredibly satisfied after watching the shots.After the staff member left the room, Daphne squeezed out a few more tears and lamented to Jonathan. "John John—" A sharp gaze from him had her changing her tone immediately. "Mr. Leonard, there's obviously something suspicious about this. Didn't you promise to do me justice earlier?" she amended.Daphne truly believed she should've been the chosen one. Among so many other budding talents, she was the only one good enough to represent LM Corporation's fashion line. For a nam
All She Needs Chapter 245 We Are Done
Every part of her body tensed as she spoke to him, her nerves already frayed. "You—you slick bastard! What the fuck do you want? You and I have nothing to do with each other now. You have no right to speak to me like that, so don't even start, alright?"Her voice trembled, as if declaring her inherent weakness, and she hated it. She hated how weak she sounded and how powerless she was to change that."So, just like that? You're—what? Going down a new path of goodness and philanthropy? Don't you miss what we once had? Have you forgotten about the joy we once shared, the love we had between us?" Jonathan's brazen words made her inadvertently flush. An arrogant finger slid beneath her chin and lifted it as his free hand gradually unbuttoned her coat, revealing her voluminous chest.His smile was equally bold and unrestrained. "Didn't I tell you before? Women should wear lingerie that's more expensive than what you have on right now. Don't tell me you've used up all the money I gave you la
All She Needs Chapter 246 You're Pathetic
So what if they both hired a lawyer? She herself had once been a world-renowned lawyer, and her rebuttal was brimming with disdain. "Go get one then! I'm not afraid of you, Jonathan. I'll fight my own legal battles, thank you very much. I'd love to see what kind of lawyer you can find in Catheden to face me off, though. I'm sure it'll be a great pleasure to meet them.""But of course, how could I ever forget? My darling Scar is a formidable lawyer herself. Since I can't threaten you with this, what do you say about your former lover?" Jonathan leaned closer to her, his voice tinged with danger.Scarlett found herself becoming nervous at his threat. "What do you mean?""It means that I haven't forgotten what Dylan did to me, nor have I completely let go of that incident yet. Since our contract wasn't completely fulfilled last time, I wish to continue it now. If you disagree, don't blame me for not showing any mercy when I take care of your ex-boyfriend." His voice was so frosty that she
All She Needs Chapter 247 A New Beginning
Scarlett had thoroughly made up her mind at this point, and she knew what she had to do. It would sting, no doubt, but she had to cross her heart and reject him either way. "Dylan, it's not that I don't want to meet your parents. I'd told you before that there are some things I can't talk about. But now, I don't think delaying it will help us both any further. I have to tell you, even if I'm not ready. How about we talk this through as we eat?"Even though she was reluctant to tell him the harsh truth, she knew it was time. Jonathan wouldn't let either of them go so easily, and she couldn't continue dragging Dylan down with her. Scarlett knew that her words would inevitably hurt him, but they were necessary. She'd run once, but she couldn't keep running now.As if he'd already guessed what she was about to say, Dylan's expression was grim. A thick silence shrouded the air between the two throughout the journey, even as they arrived at a casual diner. After ordering their entrées, Scarl
All She Needs Chapter 248 How Hard Can It Be To Seduce A Man?
"Scar, since you don't want to tell me about it, I won't force you to, but I want you to know that I'll always wait for you until you find your happily-ever-after one day. I will never leave until you do. I already consider Lucas my own son. I can't bear to simply leave without knowing that he'll be okay.""Dylan … You really don't have to do this. You'll only make me feel even more guilty." The pressure she felt from the expectations Dylan unconsciously piled on her was paramount. She didn't know how she could ever repay his kindness, nor did she wish for him to always treat her this benevolently.The kinder he was, the more stressed she became."Alright, don't talk like this anymore. I know you don't need me to take care of you, but Lucas does. He's still a kid. He needs a father figure around him, or else he'll grow up in a deficient environment. How about this? I won't disturb you as you find a better father for Lucas. I promise I'll disappear from your lives. You can count on me,

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
