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 31 Asking for Compensation
The two did not speak for the rest of the dinner. The atmosphere between them was like a ticking time bomb; if either of them talked, they would definitely start arguing.The tense atmosphere continued even after they had left the restaurant, and the duo walked side by side in silence for almost five minutes, neither willing to speak first.Nights in Atville were cold, but the cold was still bearable on the streets due to the warmth radiating from the abundance of lights illuminating the city. However, Alice's was located further away from the hustle and bustle of the city, so it was much colder without the warmth from the lights.Scarlett rubbed her arms with her hands, trying to warm herself up. She cursed him internally. Why in the world did he want to meet in such a remote location? If she had known, she wouldn't have worn a dress.A scene from a drama she had watched the other day inexplicably flashed into her mind. In the drama, the male and female lead also walked outside
All She Needs Chapter 32 One-Million-Dollar Compensation
Scarlett was still cursing the rock. Her regret and frustration must've shown on her face because Jonathan added gleefully, "If you are thinking of fleeing the crime scene after hurting someone, then all those years you've spent building your reputation would be for nothing. I'll make sure to announce to the world that the renowned attorney, Scarlett Langston, intentionally hurt the President of Leonard Corporations and fled the crime scene when she was asked for compensation!""You only got hit in the butt by a rock. It's really not that serious," Scarlett mumbled under her breath.Yet, she could not deny that she did hurt him and that she wanted to escape. So, he was right to blame her. That didn't mean that he had to make such a big deal out of nothing, though.With no other way to settle the issue, she asked, "How much would you want as compensation then, Mr. Leonard?"Though she had developed a silver tongue from her years of being an attorney, she was still no match for the s
All She Needs Chapter 33 Forget the Money, I Want You
"One million dollars! Mr. Leonard, that is an exorbitant sum of money," she exclaimed in dismay.If this were a court case, she was confident she would win. Therefore, if he insisted that she pay him that ridiculous amount, she would bring this matter to court, where she could easily ensure that she would get away without paying him a single cent.However, she forgot that this was Jonathan Leonard she was dealing with. This was the same Jonathan Leonard that had spent years in this industry building Leonard Corporations into the dominating corporation it was now. So, he would never recklessly make deals with others unless he was confident that he would have the upper hand."I'm guessing you wouldn't want me to look into your son, right?" he asked, smirking.Scarlett's face turned pale. Did he know? Did he realize that something was off? She tried to calm herself down and instead asked, "Mr. Leonard, are you threatening me?""So what if I am? After all, I'm not beneath doing things
All She Needs Chapter 34 As You Wish
"How hilarious. There are so many women who want to sleep with you. Just pick one of them to bother with. Why do you keep pestering me instead?" Scarlett was so upset that she started rambling and suddenly burst out, "Don't tell me you're in love with me."The wind was stronger on the outskirt of the city, so Scarlett's words were quickly carried away by the wind. Jonathan didn't respond to her outburst. Did she guess it right? Yet, the way he treated her was clearly not that of a lover.After a long pause, he finally said, "Don't worry. I will never love you. I just like the way our bodies fit, and I want another taste. That's all."His words were like an arrow to her heart. With one reply, he had utterly torn up her heart and self-worth and trampled all over them heartlessly."Do as you wish," she said, resigned.After that exchange, they walked all the way to the parking lot in silence. Scarlett had gotten into Jonathan's car to leave, but her car was still at the restaurant's
All She Needs Chapter 35 A Night of Passion
Scarlett's mind went blank under his domineering kisses. Suddenly, her seat started reclining, shocking her, and she grabbed his waist instinctively in response.Her actions inadvertently pressed their bodies closer together, and Jonathan's hand, which was on her cheek, slowly made its way down to her chest. Her skin flushed pink with every brush of his hands, and she felt electric shocks when their skin touched, making her heat up and shudder uncontrollably. She couldn't stand his domineering and passionate actions, but strangely, her body yearned for more, and she was ashamed of her body's reaction to him. His hand boldly reached down her dress, but he wasn't in a rush to take her clothes off. Instead, he unclasped her bra. Her skin was smooth and soft, igniting a fire in his lower abdomen, and he desperately wanted to feel her skin on his. Yet, his movements were unhurried, prolonging her torture. Although she wanted to get it over with as soon as possible, he had other plans for

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
