Chapter 43Scarlett didn't expect that she would be admired by Alexander and the others. She had just arrived at the entrance of Night Party with Alexis. The neon lights in front of the entrance were flashing. Scarlett was dazzled.Mark and Juan were already inside. They booked a large room on the second floor. The cake was waist high. As soon as Scarlett came in, Rylie and the others brought the cake out.The people who came today were all working for Crain Vision Entertainment. Even Michael, who had just been signed, was here.Scarlett was not familiar with them. After the divorce, at the request of Alexis, these people and Scarlett once became a trending topic. Scarlett added them on WhatsApp but seldom chatted with them.When Rylie said that Mark and the others wanted to celebrate her birthday, Scarlett was a little surprised. She had wanted to refuse, but Alexis persuaded her.There were only eleven people in the room, including Scarlett, Alexis, and Justin. Although there w
Chapter 44She took out her phone to order a taxi. Mark came over. "I'll take you back, Scarlett."Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "No. Our houses are in different directions."Mark looked at her and slightly inclined his head toward the pile of gifts on the sofa. "It's not easy to take a taxi at midnight. Besides, you have so many gifts. It difficult for you to take them back alone, right?"Only then did Scarlett remember that she still had a heap of gifts.She stared at Mark for a moment. "Then it seems I can only trouble you.""My pleasure."Mark curved his lips, leaned down, and picked up the bag of gifts on the sofa. He then walked to the door and pulled open it. "Let's go."Scarlett smiled at him, walking out of the room.Mark drove the same Maserati that he drove before, and it was not the first time that Scarlett sat in it.She drank a lot today. Now, she felt drowsy.Mark didn't disturb her, the car was very quiet. If there wasn't a car accident, Scarlett would fall asl
Chapter 45Mark raised his eyebrows, "Since then, I'll call the police." Then he took out his cell phone and was about to call the traffic police. Raymond, who was standing aside, looked at him coldly. "If you're not afraid to make headlines on the entertainment page tomorrow, I will wait for the police." Mark's expression stiffened. He had been in negotiation about a leading role for a movie recently. If this negative news broke at this time, it would jeopardize his work and he might miss out on the role. Mark certainly did not want to call the traffic police, but neither did he want to be blackmailed by Raymond. However, Raymond now had a hold on him. Mark could only pay for the accident. "OK, fine. I will give you $100,000." However, suddenly, Raymond didn't want $100,000 anymore. "Tell the woman in the car to come out and apologize to me. I don't need your money." Mark was exasperated. "Mr. Shaw, I know you're rich, but I can afford to pay you $100,000."
Chapter 46Raymond was still standing there. His face looked freezing cold in the moonlight. Scarlett had turned back and got in the car. She glanced at Raymond through the windshield. But after just one glance, she withdrew her eyes. Then she looked down and fastened the seat belt. "Raymond didn't give you a hard time, did he?" Although it was no more than a minute, and sitting in the car, he saw Raymond did nothing, still, Mark felt a little worried. Hearing Mark's concern, Scarlett laughed softly, "How could he give me a hard time?" Looking at Scarlett and the bright smile in her eyes, Mark was fascinated by her. He felt a little tightness in his throat, "That's good." Damn it! This woman who was his boss, was so beautiful. What if he was too obsessed with her? "It's getting late. Let's go." Mark nodded and withdrew his eyes. He didn't dare to look at Scarlett anymore. Just now, it was because he glanced at Scarlett that he accidentally rear-ended th
Chapter 47Scarlett slept until after 10:00 the next morning. There was no alarm and she slept soundly. She drank a lot last night. She felt shit this morning. She was in an awful mood when she woke up. No wonder Katherine was Scarlett's most effective secretary. Somehow she figured out that Scarlett was awake at this hour, and just as Scarlett finished washing up, the secretary called her. "What's up?" Scarlett was not in a good mood, but she never lashed out with her staff. Her tone was mild. Nevertheless, Katherine said carefully, "Ms. Reed, the people from Sunrigal Corporation would like to meet you." "They wish." Immediately, Katherine sensed that Scarlett was not in a good mood. She was very sensible. "Okay, then I won't bother you." "Hmm." Then Scarlett hung up the phone and went downstairs for breakfast. Meanwhile, in the Sunrigal Corporation president's office… Alexander had seen Raymond pissed off yesterday, and he was happy abo
Chapter 48 Scarlett asked rhetorically, "Oh, Mr. Smith, don't you know what Mornet Corporation does?" Alexander sensed Scarlett's contempt. "You mean… You came to Mornet Corporation to get their investment?" Scarlett raised her eyebrows, "Can't I?" "… Of course! You can." What the hell! He had made himself such a big fool. Alexander felt embarrassed. He tried to make it up. "Ahem, have you seen Suny?" Scarlett nodded. "Yes, Mr. Smith, do you want to see Suny too?" Alexander gritted his teeth. "Yes, I want to see who this Suny really is. I've asked to meet her several times, but she refused me everytime." Scarlett thought for a moment. Then she looked at Alexander with a serious look. "Suny is a beautiful woman, and she is very nice. But she has a thing. I heard that she would only see handsome men." Scarlett paused for a moment. Then she nodded her head deliberately. "She rejected you every time. Maybe you're not her type..." Scarlett
Chapter 49Alexander waited for Suny in front of the Mornet Corporation for the whole day, but he didn't see her. He thought that she was a very cunning woman.After he left the Mornet Corporation, he didn't go to his corporation. He went to Tenton to look for Raymond directly.Raymond was invited to attend an auction. Originally, he was reluctant to attend it, but he was interested in the item in the auction. Unexpectedly, he met Alexander when he walked out of the corporation.Alexander said, "Ray, it's rare for you to get off work on time!"Raymond didn't reply but asked, "Have you met Suny?"Alexander was stuck for words. He said, "Suny is like a ghost. I waited for her in front of the Mornet Corporation for the whole day, but I didn't see her!"Raymond asked, "Have you seen her before?"Alexander said, "I haven't seen her before, so I want to see her!"Raymond thought that Alexander was an idiot. He sneered, "You haven't seen her before. Even if you see her, how do know t
Chapter 50Scarlett wanted to buy her stocks, but many people were interested in her stocks at the same time. To show her sincerity, Scarlett needed to get the piano "the Eternal Love".Scarlett's aim was clear. The piano was the most valuable item in this auction, so it would be demonstrated in the end.The others items were jewels and antiques. Scarlett neither knew how to appreciate them nor was interested in collecting them. Thus, she even didn't bother to pay any attention to them but played a game all the time."The Eternal Love" wasn't demonstrated until 9 p.m.Scarlett exited the game, looked at the black piano on the stage and twirled the bidding paddle in her hand.The starting price of "the Eternal Love" was 1,000,000 dollars. The bidders needed to add 100,000 dollars each time.Hearing that, Raymond opened his eyes slowly and looked at the piano.He was reluctant to waste any time and wanted to get the piano as soon as possible. He took a bidding paddle and planned
Chapter 100Scarlett had to say that Justin really loved Alexis. He knew well what Alexis liked and disliked.Scarlett thought Justin was actually trying to show her how much he loved Alexis instead of asking for her advice today…Scarlett was taken by Justin to see three houses. To be honest, Alexis must like any of them. They just differed in size and location."Which house do you think is the best?"Hearing his words, Scarlett lifted her leg and took two steps forward to the balcony. "I think Riverland Garden is the best."Justin gave a rare smile. "Me too."Scarlett raised her eyebrows. "So you are going to buy it?"Justin nodded his head, so they went back to the sales office of Riverland Garden.Justin paid over 36 million dollars for the house outright in cash and wrote only Alexis' name on the deed of the house.The estate agent thought Scarlett was Alexis and kept praising Justin for loving her so much.Scarlett smiled. "I'm just his friend. I am not Alexis. She is
Chapter 99As the New Year was drawing near, everyone was very busy. And Scarlett was not as leisurely as before.Documents were sent in batches to the villa for her to review. She usually showed up at Mornet Corporation once or twice a month. However, during this period, she had to go to the corporation two or three times a week. The number of the meetings that Scarlett attended this month was more than that of all the meetings that she had attended in the past eleven months.As soon as the meeting ended, Scarlett greeted Katherine and left.She had clearly expressed her opinion at the meeting, so it was unnecessary for her to stay at the corporation.The moment she left Mornet Corporation, Scarlett answered a call from Justin.Future Technologies had only been on the market for more than four months. At the end of this year, Justin was busier than her.Therefore, upon answering Justin's call, Scarlett thought that something bad had happened to Alexis. "What happened to Alexis?
Chapter 98He couldn't guess what Raymond's ex-wife was thinking about.Hearing Alexander's words, Scarlett suddenly laughed, "Mr. Smith, do you have some misunderstanding about me?""What do you mean?"Alexander froze.In the next second, he heard a soft female voice come, "Do you think I lack money?""You're not short of money."Saying that, Alexander paused.He suddenly remembered that Scarlett didn't take any property with her when she divorced Raymond, which was what Raymond told them."What?"The green light was on. Scarlett restarted the car. She put the phone on speakerphone and waited for Alexander to answer her question."Nothing. I want to share the pressure for you."Scarlett laughed lightly, "Tens of millions of dollars is nothing stressful to me. Only people who covet my project every day make me stressed."Alexander understood that Scarlett minced her words to warn him that he shouldn't do that.He sneered, "Okay. I'm not short of that money. Since you have
Chapter 97Scarlett was in a good mood today, but she didn't expect to meet Raymond when she was about to leave. What’s more, it was unexpected that he would say such narcissistic words.It had been more than seven months since she divorced Raymond. After the divorce, her life was very comfortable. When she sometimes thought of Raymond, she was more annoyed at the mistakes she had made 3 years ago.She never thought that she would remarry him."Hilla, help me turn on the tub tap."She was in a bad mood, so she had to take a scented bath to relax herself.Scarlett didn't sleep well that night, probably because she met Raymond at the door of the clubhouse.She dreamed of many things which happened after getting married.As soon as the alarm went off, she opened her eyes.She didn’t sleep well, so Scarlett was in a bad mood.It was still dark outside, and the dawn broke very late in the winter of Juanton City.Scarlett put a coat on, and then went to wash up.While she was mak
Chapter 96Hearing Raymond was calling her, Scarlett froze. Holding the car door, she stood there and looked at Raymond who came over, "Whom is Mr. Shaw going to plead for this time?"After Raymond heard her words, his expression hardened. How come he had never found her so sarcastic?"You don't have to be so hostile to me. In fact, I don't hate you as much as you think I do."Looking at him, Scarlett suddenly laughed, "You mean that you don't hate me that much. On the contrary, you still have a crush on me?"After saying that, Scarlett narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Standing up straight, she looked into Raymond's dark eyes, "But sorry, Raymond, whether you hate me or not means nothing to me. I’ve told you that after the divorce, we are strangers. So..."She paused and gave a cold smile, "I just treat you as a stranger now."Raymond's face stiffened. His cold gaze fell on her.Scarlett's repetition of "A stranger" annoyed him. He raised his hand a
Chapter 95"My goddess is Taylor Swift."As soon as Scarlett pushed away Alexis, who was holding her, Antony came over and said this to her.Raising her eyebrows, she looked at him and said, "Alexis' goddess is Taylor Swift, too."Antony glanced at Justin aside, and then looked at Scarlett again, "Justin looks sullen."Scarlett glanced sideways at Justin, who was next to Alexis, and really felt that he looked sullen.She said with a smile, "I didn't mean anything."As she spoke, Scarlett looked down at the time and said, "Happy birthday. I've got to go."Alexis was a night owl. She wouldn't end this party until the wee hours.Although Alexis wanted Scarlett to stay longer, she knew Scarlett didn't like to stay up late.Hugging her, Alexis said a few words, and then reluctantly let go of her, "Well, text me when you get home."She talked like a mother talked to her daughter.Scarlett glanced at her and said, "Got it."As she spoke, she waved her hand.Antony, who was chatti
Chapter 94Justin turned on the lights again, and Alexis divided the cake for everyone at the party.Scarlett nibbled at the cake while some songs were playing on the big screen.Getting a microphone and going up to the small stage in front, someone sang a song to Alexis. The atmosphere was quite convivial.Scarlett was halfway through her cake when Alexis suddenly came over and said, "Lettie, can you sing me a song?"Scarlett set the remaining half of the cake aside on the bar, "What song do you want to hear?""As long as you sing it for me, any song will be okay."Scarlett raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Okay, it's your birthday today. It's up to you."Alexis whistled like a hooligan. Getting another microphone and following Scarlett to the stage, she said, "Come on, everybody. My versatile best friend Scarlett is going to sing me a song. Let's all put down our cakes and enjoy her beautiful song."Scarlett felt she blushed when Alexis said this.She raised her e
Chapter 93Being aware of saying something wrong, Alexis took to her heels, leaving Scarlett to face Antony alone.Antony didn't care and said, "Our family has been abroad all the time, and we have hired someone to take care of the villa regularly. Maybe that person thought we wouldn't come back, so she was careless."Scarlett nodded understandingly. "No wonder you had no Internet connection that day."As he spoke, Antony suddenly smiled, "You thought I was a bad man that day?"Scarlett looked at him, sipped her juice and shook her head, "No."She just didn't like strangers coming into her space. Even though Antony was her neighbor, she didn't like it.Antony didn't ask her any more questions. Scarlett didn't really like to talk to others. Her personality was the opposite of Alexis. She didn't like socializing and making friends very much."I'll go sit over there."As she spoke, Scarlett walked over to the sofa with her juice and sat down.Alexis had a lot of good friends. Th
Chapter 92A male voice suddenly came over. Scarlett unhurriedly put the head on the snowman's body before looking at the gate.A man dressed in gray stood in the snow. His features were strongly defined. His nose was high, and his dark brown eyes crinkled in a smile. He was holding a black umbrella, standing in the doorway staring at her.Scarlett raised an eyebrow and patted the snow on her gloves before walking over slowly. "Are you calling me?""Sorry, Miss, I'm your neighbor, Antony Vang. The Wi-Fi in my villa is down, but I have some urgent matters. Can I come in and use yours?"The man looked at her, his voice mellow and pronunciation excellent.Scarlett curved her lips slightly. "There is a cafe in the mall 3 miles away. You can drive there."Well, the man was handsome, but she still politely refused.Antony was stunned for a moment and then smiled. "Sorry, it's presumptuous of me."Scarlett didn't say anything, just smilingly watching him turn to leave.This matter w
