All She Needs Chapter 257 The Unexpected Conflict
A deep, magnetic voice queried above her, "Are you okay?"Scarlett remained unaffected by the man's voice, nor did she deign to respond. All she did was lift her head as she gazed steadily at the man, her eyes soulless and empty, the dark mist permeating those irises tugging at one's heartstrings. The man bent down to scoop her into his arms, his umbrella falling to the ground beside her. He carried her into the car in a moment and drove away as quickly as he'd appeared.When Scarlett finally awakened, she found herself overcome with bone-splintering pain, as if someone had run her over and over again until her joints ceased to belong to her. The soreness radiating through her body prevented her from standing. She could only open her eyes groggily, the unfamiliar surroundings startling her for a few seconds. She hadn't the slightest idea of where she was—the bedroom she was in was as foreign as it could be, even as she surveyed the area multiple times.The bedroom was large and spaciou
All She Needs Chapter 258 Starlight in Her Eyes, Gone Without a Trace
Meanwhile, in the sitting room, two equally handsome men sat alongside an elegant, beautiful woman. The three appeared deeply engrossed in conversation, a smatter of laughter ringing out occasionally. The atmosphere carried a sense of longing that was bound to entice anyone who bore witness to the magnetic sight, and a servant stood by patiently, refilling their glasses with champagne that must've cost an arm and a leg judging from the way it looked.The golden liquid glistened within delicate crystal glasses, the sight of it exceptionally gorgeous. The importance of their respective statuses filled the room effortlessly, their refinement an extraordinary sight."Come on, Jonathan, Aria, this toast is to our first joint success. Cheers!" Samuel Morrow's handsome face was adorned with a smile, his voice a rich, resounding baritone.Aria Zart was the current president of Zart Enterprise. As the eldest daughter of the Zart family, her disposition was infallible. Her wavy hair rippled down
All She Needs Chapter 259 Him Again
Aria was interested in seeing what kind of woman could attract Samuel's attention against all odds. Jonathan, too, wanted to see for himself the woman whom his cousin considered her rival. As for Samuel, he was entirely calm as he waited for the girl he had saved by the roadside to appear.In just a few seconds, a pair of long, slender legs appeared to descend the stairs slowly, followed by the sharp click of heels. Its rhythmic nature mesmerized the trio, who shifted their collective gazes to her appearance when she eventually appeared in front of them. Samuel's maid, Janice, guided her into the sitting room, but the sight of the two men and one woman flustered her to no end. Momentarily, Scarlett found herself unsure of what to do in situations as such.The woman who appeared in front of the trio was undeniably gorgeous, her looks conforming to conventional beauty standards, with a sharp chin, high cheekbones, and eyes even more beautiful than Aria's. Those fathomless depths seemed t
All She Needs Chapter 260 A Different Woman Every Day
Jonathan's gaze turned toward Scarlett, his eyes carrying the same indifference they always had. Yet, as his stare panned toward her, she felt an inexplicable chill that snaked its way down her body, making her tremble. A faint smile had his lips curling upward, reminiscent of gentleness and elegance, but Scarlett knew that it hardly meant anything beyond a superficial mask. Jonathan's eyes were still so cold, devoid of any form of life, no matter how closely she looked.Her instincts told her that he would only look at her like this because he had a plan in mind, but as for what it was exactly, she had no idea. All she knew was something bad was about to happen, something she wouldn't wish on her worst enemies, least of all herself. Regardless, no matter what it was, she would never allow herself to back down or show any sign of weakness. Who did Jonathan think he was? Did he really think he was invincible? Did he think she, Scarlett Langston, was so weak that he could walk all over h
All She Needs Chapter 261 A Moth Drawn to a Flame
Needless to say, Aria was pleasantly surprised by the turn of events that night. Jonathan, like Samuel, was a rare attractive man. While Samuel was undoubtedly outstanding, it was relatively easy to get close to him, for he was a man not short of passion. Any woman with a decent appearance could spend at least a day by his side, though the duration of their relationship would depend on said woman's subsequent capabilities.Truth be told, if it hadn't been for Aria's status that put her above most ordinary women vying for Samuel's attention, she would've made a move on Samuel long ago. She couldn't afford to compete with those mediocre women who called themselves avid fans, nor did she ever wish to sink that low for a man. Contrary to Samuel, Jonathan's demeanor was pure and noble, a kind of otherworldly unattainability separating him from the rest of the world. He was unapproachable at best, his iciness scalding anyone who dared get too close. It was simply his nature—a lone wolf whose
All She Needs Chapter 262 Don't Be Shy
Scarlett itched to dice him into a million pieces. Was he that addicted to toying with her? Not only did he take massive advantage of her just now, but he also had to say such embarrassing things in that infuriating, casual way he seemed to have perfected over the years. His mercurial unpredictability perplexed her—one moment, he was colder than ice, the next, he was breezy and affectionate like they'd known each other forever.It unsettled her, among other things.Scarlett was beginning to see how terrifying Jonathan was. He wasn't a man she could afford to cross—she knew that now. It was as if he harbored two different personalities in a single body, something she initially thought she would only witness in movies instead of in a man who had just had his hands all over her. His behavior had her suspect that perhaps those plots she had seen on screen weren't fabricated after all and that men as perverted as Jonathan really did exist in real life.Regardless of his true nature, Scarlet
All She Needs Chapter 263 I Guess I'll Accept It
Samuel continued courteously, "Since we're all friends now, I'll just be direct with you here. I'm the one who should be apologizing and begging for your forgiveness. You don't have to thank me, Ms. Langston. Quite the contrary, since I'm at fault here, I should also write you a check as compensation for putting your life on the line earlier. Here, take this as a small token of apology from me."Scarlett glanced at the check Samuel casually handed her in utter disbelief. The amount on it was two hundred thousand dollars. The sheer magnanimity dumbfounded her. It might not seem as significant to him, living under such wealthy conditions, but it was an amount she found hard to comprehend.The fact that he was giving this much money to someone who didn't need it when it could've been used for a better cause solidified her refusal. "Mr. Morrow, I really appreciate your kindness and generosity, but all I have are a few cuts and bruises that are practically healed by now. I don't need that m
All She Needs Chapter 264 It Had To Be Alcohol
Samuel never expected Jonathan to be so unruly, nor did he expect to be forced into this position. He really had underestimated the other man. However, that wasn't what puzzled him the most. Even though Jonathan belonged to the upper-class societies, he'd never been involved in any of the inner circle's gossip, unlike Samuel himself. Never once had he heard about Jonathan having any ambiguous relationships with a woman, so much so that the topic of Jonathan's sexual orientation had become a frequent topic of discussion in the circle. It surprised him that they would come to the point where he would be fighting with Jonathan, of all people, over a woman and that their fight would progress to this state.Samuel glanced at Aria, who was standing beside him. His family's business still depended on their long-term contract with the Zarts, and he couldn't afford to lose that long-standing collaboration between their families over something so trivial. No matter how unwilling he was, he could

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
