last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
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

    "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

    "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

    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

    Scarlett wanted to protest, but she knew she would never win against him in an argument, which was how she ended up on top of him. She hesitantly leaned forward to kiss him and take off his clothes. As she was doing so, her fingertips lightly brushed against his skin, and each time that happened, his face flushed red as if he were desperately trying to hold back. His reaction gave Scarlett an odd sense of satisfaction. It was finally his turn to suffer! So, Scarlett deliberately ran her fingers across his skin, and Jonathan wanted to just take her then and there.Just looking at his defined muscles and massive member frightened her so much that she didn't want to continue, but the look Jonathan shot was clear, "Continue!"She thought about all the videos she had watched, and her small hands slid down his lower abdomen toward his member to give it a few teasing touches. "Here's a taste of your own medicine," Scarlett thought. It was as if Scarlett had lost her mind. She used all the

    Their night of passion in the car was more intense than the previous two times they slept together. He was undeniably experienced, as proven during the course of their night together. They had switched positions multiple times, each more shocking than the last. Scarlett lamented her decision to kick that stupid rock. How did things escalate so quickly?Though her heart was filled with regret, she did not have much time to ponder her decision before her body shuddered uncontrollably, and she was transported to paradise. Jonathan also ascended to heaven alongside her, but he still wanted more.Scarlett was knocked out cold from exhaustion at the end of the night. It was already 7 am when she finally woke up, feeling like her whole body was made of jelly, and the sun was already steadily rising over the horizon. She felt the steady breathing of another person beside her and raised her head to look at Jonathan's perfect and delicate face. He really looked just like an older version of

    She put on the clothes he had bought for her, which were simple and elegant and really suited her style. He had also bought her a new set of lingerie which made her ears burn. She couldn't believe that he had actually gotten her lingerie. Moreover, he was able to guess her bra size accurately as well.Sensing Scarlett's gaze on him, Jonathan could already guess her question. "I've touched you three times now, so, of course, I know your size," he answered straightforwardly before she could even ask.Her cheeks were pink, like her body last night when he had fucked her. She looked like a delectable piece of dessert, inviting him to have a bite. He was still aroused from last night's events and stared at her body hungrily. Scarlett took one look at his hungry expression and knew exactly what he wanted to do. The hairs on the back of her neck stood, and she unconsciously moved backward to increase the distance between them. She hastily threw on the rest of her clothes before he got any m

    "Lucas, why don't you wait for me to take a bath first," she said solemnly instead of explaining before suddenly exclaiming, "Wow! I'm so exhausted today!"Lucas pitied his mother, so he allowed her to leave, but he suddenly yelled at her, "Mom, when did you change your clothes? You weren't wearing this yesterday.""I'll explain later!" Her voice had trailed off, so she was probably in the bathroom already.Dylan would come over to Belleview Estate every morning, and he would definitely know what had happened once he saw the marks on her skin. So, she hastily drew a bath, hoping they would dissipate faster with warm water. She sunk into the warm bath and felt the stress from last night melt away.She felt much better after the bath. However, the love bites were still prominent on her skin, so she could only opt to put on clothes with a high collar and long sleeves. Atville was very hot during the day, so it didn't make sense for anyone to wear such clothing. Hence, to avoid judgmen

    There was no progress on the matter he had people investigate. However, Lucas had a strong suspicion that he was related to Jonathan.But Lucas decided it was better for Uncle Dylan not to find out about this yet. It would definitely complicate matters if he knew. "Lucas?" Dylan's voice brought him out of his thoughts.Lucas buried all of his doubts deep inside his heart, determined to hide this from Dylan. "What's wrong, Uncle Dylan?" he asked innocently."Did something happen? Didn't your mom just wake up? Why is she going back to sleep?" Dylan's immediate questioning made Lucas' mind spin."Oh, you know how busy she is. She must've pulled an all-nighter again last night," Lucas said and pouted, seeming as if he was really upset about Scarlett's working hours.Dylan frowned when he heard this. "Seriously, she just got back to Catheden, and she's already working herself to the bone. What's the point of moving from Amerstica back to Catheden then?"The two of them chatted happi

    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

    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
