She thought of someone else following them other than Mrs. Sinclair. She definitely did not have any ill intent; she was probably just concerned about them. However, the other party's intentions were unclear. They were probably after Jonathan or herself. Either way, she would not let them off easily. Since it was not a good idea to keep this from Jonathan, she decided to come clean with him and say, "Jonathan, you must've realized there were people following us, right?"

She believed Jonathan couldn't have missed it with his sharp senses. Indeed, Jonathan smiled and replied, "Of course I did. But it's okay. You don't have to worry; it's nothing major."

Scarlett paused momentarily before continuing, "Actually, I have a classmate working in the force, so I asked him to help me investigate this matter, and he told me that this might be related to you and the recent case you've been handling."

She hadn't intended to make things so clear, but she was compelled to tell the truth seei

    Scarlett was surprised that Jonathan would take the initiative and explain the situation to her. All her unhappiness immediately melted away, and her anger dissipated. How could she stay angry at him? She immediately said, "I understand. You don't have to explain this to me. I know it's about your work. Besides, I'm not an unreasonable person." He smiled reassuringly and hugged her. "Since we're already married, I should get to know your friends. Tomorrow is Sunday; why don't they join us for dinner?" Scarlett shook her head. She had already spoken to her friends about meeting Jonathan, but they all had plans for tomorrow. So she said, "I just met up with them earlier. We'll treat them to a good meal on our wedding day instead. It's okay. My friends understand you have a busy job."She wasn't angry at all as she knew him very well. He never had to explain himself to others, but today he took the initiative even though he didn't do anything wrong. She was overjoyed and even blamed

    Scarlett couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt as she listened, but there was also a tinge of happiness knowing that Jonathan cared so much about her. Her mood immediately lifted. "I didn't expect him to care so much about me. It scared me to think he didn't care about me at all yesterday night. I was so worried he would lecture me when I came home yesterday, but it turned out he already knew I was with my friends. No wonder he didn't even bother to ask." Just then, Scarlett suddenly heard her phone ringing from her room. She hurriedly entered the room to answer the call, "Hello?" "Hi, is this Miss Scarlett? I'm really sorry, we made an appointment to view the house tomorrow, but I'm sorry to inform you that the property is no longer available. The only options left are second-hand houses, and some of them are too large. I apologize, but we wanted to let you know that there's no need for you to come over tomorrow."Scarlett was utterly infuriated by their attitude. They had agree

    After Scarlett finally ended the call, she was surprised that she and Nancy had been chatting for over half an hour. It was quite dizzying as she had never talked on the phone for such a long time, not even with Jonathan. This was something rare, but it also indicated that her relationship with Nancy was turning for the better. At least, it seemed like a big step forward.Scarlett ran excitedly into the kitchen and said to Florence, "It seems I’m getting along pretty well with Jonathan's grandmother now. At least it's much better than before. Otherwise, she wouldn't have talked to me for so long. I think she has a good impression of me!"Florence couldn't help but laugh at Scarlett's triumphant look. "This girl may not be very talented, but she's exceptionally good at pleasing people," Florence thought as she playfully tapped Scarlett's head with a smile.“Don't hit my head! What if you make me dumb?” Scarlett laughed joyfully. She couldn't help but start imagining her wedding. T

    The door was unlocked. It seemed that Jonathan wasn’t lying when he said Scarlett was silly. Although there wasn't anything valuable at home, she still had to have some practical safety awareness. Tessa shook her head, thinking that impoverished people indeed lacked basic instincts. She poked her head in and looked around. “Who are you? Why are you in my house?” Tessa was startled by the voice and turned to see the boy from before. "It's you!" The young boy recognized her too and thought, " Wasn't this the crazy lady from the apartment lobby earlier? What was she doing lurking around my doorstep? Could she be a thief? But she didn't look like one!"She was puzzled for a moment, and then it suddenly clicked as she recalled him saying this was his home. This was indeed Florence's address, but she wasn't married. Lost in her thoughts, Tessa was brought back to reality when the young boy exclaimed, "What are you doing at my house?" "It's none of your business!" Tessa retorted. "

    Jonathan clenched his fists. If Tessa weren't a woman, he would have punched her. She insulted the woman he loved the most, Scarlett, who was his everything. He would never allow anyone to badmouth her this way! He gritted his teeth and uttered, "Get out!" Tessa seemed unfazed and continued, "Maybe that child is from that wild man!" Jonathan could no longer listen to her slanderous words. He grabbed Tessa and threw her out the door, saying, "I'll kill you if I ever hear you utter those words again."His eyes were cold and bloodshot, leaving Tessa too frightened to utter a word. She slumped on the ground helplessly. Jonathan turned to his secretary, who had rushed over during the commotion, and ordered, "If she comes here again, tell her to get lost!" Tessa was resentful as she thought of Jonathan's attitude toward her. What was so great about Scarlett? They seemed so deeply in love now that it would be impossible to break them apart, and she racked her brain for a way to te

    Tears of humiliation slid down Scarlett's cheeks as she endured the pain on her face and shouted, "Help! Someone, help!" One of the men feared her cries would attract attention, so he swiftly covered her mouth with tape. With her voice muffled, Scarlett watched helplessly as the demonic men continued to violate her body. Her thoughts turned to her upcoming wedding, her devoted partner at work, and her beloved son; at this moment, she wanted to die. In her heart, she silently apologized to Jonathan for what was about to happen. The men restrained her limbs, leaving Scarlett unable to move, and she couldn't say a word, only able to sob helplessly. Just before her blouse was torn by one of them, she closed her eyes in despair. Soon, she fainted as she was overwhelmed by shock. Before losing consciousness, she seemed to hear a familiar voice, and then everything went dark.When Jonathan rushed into the hospital room, his eyes were red with anger. He clenched his fists in fury, and Dyl

    Only then did Scarlett hear what Teresa was asking. She had been troubled by finding an internship all along. Although it wouldn't be difficult for her to find a suitable internship placement, given her qualifications, she felt caught between going for something too high or settling for something too low. Finding just any internship wouldn't suit Scarlett's preferences, as she knew that although it was not of utmost importance, it could greatly impact her future job prospects. If she could find a good internship and perform well, she might be able to become a permanent employee. Seeing Scarlett lost in thought, Teresa shook her head in utter surprise. She couldn't believe that Scarlett had yet to find an internship by now. "Scarlett, don't tell me you still haven't found one? Oh my ... You really are relaxed about this matter. You know, we're about to graduate soon. Don't spend all your time just focusing on your relationship. By the way, I heard your boyfriend, Jonathan, comes fro

    Scarlett felt that an internship at a piano store wasn't an ideal career path for her. Even though she majored in performing arts, she didn't plan to pursue a career in this field. She had chosen her major because she had no preference. Being a performing arts teacher was respectable and offered good pay. But Scarlett felt this wasn't what she wanted to do. Since she had to find an internship, Scarlett knew she had to take this opportunity to get a job in a different field. This way, she could gain valuable work experience. If she settles for a job as a music teacher now, it would be difficult to find a job after graduation. So, she had no other choice but to force herself to look for something she wanted to do. If that didn't work out, she could still consider a job related to her major. Moreover, her university didn't require her to find a job related to her major. Even if they had, it was her choice. She could sign up for the job she wanted even if they advised agains

    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.

    "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
