I have connections and resources…” He said as he held her shoulder tightly and went on, “It’s my responsibility to deal with Vivian. Can’t you just have some faith in me? I’ll handle it, Scarlett. I’ll make it all better.”
Looking up, Scarlett stared into his serious eyes and said, “Francis, you don’t have to keep acting as if you have the answers all the time. This is a difficult situation, and I’m allowed to have a say or try to fix things in whichever way I see it. Could you just let me handle her this time? Is that so unacceptable to you?”
“Come on, babe, sometimes you are so naïve…these aren’t simple matters. The world of business

Eve smiled and put one hand on Scarlett’s shoulder, “Well, it all depends on how much influence you can have on Francis, doesn’t it? He’s probably only going to listen to you. You’re the one with the most influence on him.” When she saw Scarlett didn’t answer her, she just brushed her hair and said, “Anyway, I don’t know anyone else who can do this for me, so I can only count on you.”“Won’t Damon be mad at me?” Scarlett glanced at her.“No, he won’t! He’s not like that.” Eve promised her.But Scarlett was doubtful about the whole thing. Eve’s plans just seemed too fanciful to ever become a reality.If Eve’s wild stories were to be trusted in the first place,

“All I can tell you is that all the speculations about this couple on the Internet are just rumors. As for the discussion about not holding the wedding and what that may have to do with their marriage, rest assured that their marriage is very much intact. The real fact is that Mrs. Sandler pays great attention to the details of the wedding. Mr. Sandler wants to take the time to plan the wedding out to match her specifications. It's in the works, everybody, please be calm.”“What’s the budget for the wedding?” asked the journalist.“Well, I have no idea about that!

“What? Who are you? Is this really Francis I’m speaking to right now?”Francis laid down, and put his arm around Scarlett’s shoulders, and said, “Scarlett, we can’t keep running away from my parents like this. It just doesn’t make sense. As long as they are alive, Carlos should have the chance to form a meaningful relationship with them. He’s their grandson, after all! Blood is thicker than water, Scarlett. I know how you feel because of your rough childhood… and everything that happened with your dad… but family is family.”Scarlett looked back at him and said, “Do you know that I almost miscarried? Where were they when I was going through tough times? Why didn’t they care for my son back then or me?”“Scarlett, haven’

How considerate and tactful she was! It sounded as if she really cared about her, but that was definitely not the case.“Who sent them to you? Do you have the negatives?” She blurted out on the phone.“As I said, I don’t know who sent them to me. Do you know who it might have been?” Scarlett said, avoiding stating clearly what was going on. Vivian had understood the situation quickly: Scarlett was blackmailing her. There were no doubts about it in her mind.Vivian took a deep breath and said, “As long as you can give me the rest of the photos and the negatives as well, I will make sure that the Internet smear fest will end for you.”Scarlett bravely, “I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in that at all.

Francis just followed Scarlett to the door of the washroom.When Scarlett heard his footsteps, she instantly turned around and locked the door because she didn’t want him to see her vomit. She felt very embarrassed.“Scarlett, are you okay? Please open the door, okay?” Francis begged.But Scarlett was focused on rinsing out her mouth and getting cleaned up.“What matters is your health, it’s not the time to be mad at me! Please let me in.”‘Don’t come in, I’m fine!”“The doctor is on the way, just let him give you a general check,” Francis said.“I&rsqu

Scout tore a piece of black cloth to cover her eyes with, and the other man sitting next to her, who called himself Sam, took out a syringe and stuck it in her arm without wasting a second.Within moments Scarlett became dizzy and passed out.“Sam, will we get rich after the news that she’s been kidnapped gets out? How hefty is the payout gonna be on this one?“Don’t you see the news? Her husband is wealthy, and she still doesn’t have a bodyguard with her, so she is an easy target.” Sam laughed loudly.“Boss asked us not to touch her, but I really want to touch her.” another man suddenly said as he touched Scarlett’s cheek.“Don’t even think about that! All we

When they heard a noise outside, Vivian put on her hat and hastened to leave.Scout walked around Scarlett and then said, “Stop pretending you are not awake! You overheard what we said, didn’t you?”Scarlett moved her fingers and said, “I know who’s behind this.”“You want to die?” he said as he held the sharp knife against her neck. His eyes glittered with greed and blood lust.“I can’t survive this time because you have prepared to kill me, haven’t you?”“You are a smart woman!” he said as he moved the knife away from her neck. “If you want to blame someone, just blame yourself because it’s all your own fault.

“How ungrateful he is! You helped him get rid of those two annoying women, and now he blames you for not caring about his feelings? That’s nonsense. How dare he ask for a divorce?” Eve stomped around angrily. She couldn’t understand why Francis was behaving so strangely all of a sudden.Scarlett leaned back on the sofa and stared at the tray of fruit on the table, and said, “You don’t understand. What I’ve done has provoked his ego, and it’s not the first time. I guess no one can endure me. I’m going to die alone.”“But he is Francis Sandler, I thought he was going to be different… and mature.”Scarlett looked up at her and said calmly, “There is no difference! He is still a man. Men are all the same, aren’t they? It doesn&rsq

When Scarlett woke up, it was eight o’clock in the morning. She rolled around in bed for a few moments before sitting up. Her head felt heavy.“You’re awake!” Francis said as he walked into the bedroom from the balcony. He smiled at her. “I thought you’d be out for hours. Aren’t you jetlagged? How long was the flight from Lisbon to Irving anyway? And didn’t you have a stopover in Dallas?”Scarlett rested her head on Francis’s shoulder and said, “Well, I wanted to go to bed early last night. No thanks to you, we ended up staying up so late! I barely got enough sleep. You’re exhausting me, Francis!”“Oh? Am I? I’m so sorry, Scarlett.” Francis teased. He kissed her neck and tousled her hair.

She looked as pretty as ever.“Of course I miss you, but I can’t do anything about it, right? I can’t cry on daddy’s shoulder as Brittany did.” Francis said. He came to the balcony and lit up a cigarette and felt a little relaxed.“Brittany cried?” Scarlett asked in surprise.“Yep, she cried for over an hour,” he said as he breathed out a plume of thick smoke.Upon hearing that, Scarlett felt kind of guilty. Was she selfish? Was she a bad mother, a bad wife?“Francis, do you resent me?” Scarlett asked as she Skyped with

I’ll be gone for a month,” Scarlett said one evening.“Why do you have to be gone for such a long time? Can’t you just get one of your associates to go instead? What’s going to happen to us while you’re gone? At least try to see if you can come back sooner….” Francis moaned unhappily. He hated being away from his wife.“Carlos will take care of his sisters, and besides, Brittany and Shannon are very good kids.” Scarlett comforted gently. “You don’t have to worry about anything.”“I’m not talking about them.

There was a minute of silence over the phone– Francis and Scarlett said nothing to one another. Scarlett pouted and asked, “Wait a minute… are you laughing at me? You’re making fun of me, aren’t you?”“No, I’m the same as you. I feel nervous,” he said in a low voice.“What?” Scarlett asked curiously.Francis was standing in front of the window of his study room with his hands in his pocket, looking out at the vast, blue sea outside.He took a deep breath and smiled, “I said, I’m much more nervous than you are.

At this moment, Carlos took Shannon by the hand and walked in slowly, and said, “Brittany, mommy is tired. Please go play by yourself.”But Brittany just ignored him and took Scarlett to jump on the balcony. She was excited about the big blue swimming pool in front of them and said, “Mommy, I want to swim. Mommy, please go swimming with me.”The setting sun shone on the swimming pool; it was very quiet.“My sweetheart, could you ask daddy to go swimming with you a while later?” Scarlett said as she touched her head.Though Brittany was unhappy about this, she was not a stubborn kid; after that, she turned around to go look for Francis.
