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's heart skipped a beat as she returned his intense gaze. She didn't like it when people studied her as if trying to read her mind. She despised the fact that Jonathan was doing it even more. She lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze.She replied, "It's nothing. What could go wrong? I didn't get enough sleep last night." Jonathan didn't believe a word she said. Even if she was telling the truth, nobody loses sleep for no reason. Scarlett didn't usually have trouble sleeping. Jonathan saw the faint bluish circles under her eyes and knew she was not lying. He was intent on finding out what was wrong. He lifted her chin and said, "Then tell me why you couldn't sleep."The intimacy of his actions slightly took Scarlett aback. People around them couldn't help but look. After all, Scarlett was the most beautiful girl in college. She was the most popular girl and a top-performing student. Meanwhile, Jonathan came from a wealthy family. He was the dream man of many girls.
She still remembered the look in Jonathan's eyes after she said those heartless words. They were cold and had no emotion. She had never seen that look on his face. It made her feel lost as she couldn't understand what he wanted. Every time he looked at her that way, she would feel uncomfortable. Scarlett returned to her room uneasily and found herself alone even though it was broad daylight. She found it strange since everyone usually hung around the dorms after class. But today, she returned to an empty room, which left her quite disappointed. However, she quickly realized the other students had also left the campus. Although they were from different departments, her dorm mates were also searching for internships. She might have forgotten the entire matter if Teresa hadn't reminded her about it. Recently, she was overwhelmed with her situation with Jonathan and neglected her studies. Now, other students had found internships while she had yet to start. If she didn't start
As she was about to hang up the phone, she heard a voice coming through the phone. "Hello, is this Scarlett?" The woman's voice was muffled, and Scarlett couldn't recognize the voice. Although Scarlett didn't know who she was, she already had a bad impression of her. She wondered why she had stayed silent. It was baffling that she only spoke up as Scarlett was about to hang up the phone. Scarlett would have hung up the phone if she wanted to be rude. However, she wasn't the type to be mean. So she continued the conversation. She thought the stranger might have something important to say. Scarlett asked in confusion, "This is she. Who is this?" She wondered why didn't she introduce herself. Why did she wait for Scarlett to speak up first? It was quite amusing, and she couldn't fathom her intentions. "I'm Melissa. I don't think you know me. Let me introduce myself. I am Jonathan's girlfriend. Maybe to you, I'm already Jonathan's ex-girlfriend. But that doesn't matter. I
At this moment, Melissa noticed Scarlett walking toward her. She stood up from her seat and smiled.Then, she said gently, “You’re here! You must be Miss Langston. Sorry for the trouble.” "Oh, it's no trouble at all. I wasn’t too busy today anyway," Scarlett replied. Melissa’s polite attitude surprised her. She couldn’t sense any hostility from Melissa.It seemed that Melissa didn’t mind her relationship with Jonathan. Scarlett couldn’t believe it. She was sure Melissa must be hiding her emotions.Birds chirped non-stop outside the window. The both of them squirmed in the coffee shop. Scarlett still hadn't said a word since she sat down. Melissa looked at her with a vague smile. Scarlett couldn't help but feel a little flustered under Melissa's gaze. Her throat felt dry, so she took a sip from the cup on the table. Scarlett asked, “Is there anything you want to talk about?”Melissa smiled faintly. Her dimples added to her charm. She replied, “Obviously, I invited yo
