Chapter 69Scarlett didn't often go to the gym before because she didn't like being watched when she was exercising. Therefore, before she got divorced, she used to run at Raymond's private gym.She traveled around Epristan after her divorce and found that her physically weak. Alexis suggested she find a personal trainer and recommended a female one. Only then did she start going to the gym.She exercised three or four times a week for about two hours at a time.It was dark when Scarlett came out of the gym at six.She found several missed calls from Alexis on her phone, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.Then she chose a restaurant to have dinner. She didn't read Alexis' messages until she ordered and took her seat.Alexis sent more than ten messages and one video in a row.Scarlett didn't understand what Alexis was talking about until she watched the video.It turned out that the conversation between her and Julie was recorded and posted on Instagram.At first, some netiz
Chapter 70After taking an aromatic bath at night, Scarlett had a good sleep.The next day, Scarlett received a call from Katherine. She said, "The chairman of Centel wants to see you."Scarlett had just woken up. Hearing Katherine's words, she froze for several seconds before saying, "Ethen wants to see me?"Katherine said, "Yes, Miss Reed. Centel has been short of funds since last year. Maybe Ethen wants to talk about the acquisition with you or sell his shares to you."Scarlett pursed her lips and said, "Help me arrange it."She paused for a moment and continued, "But I don't want to meet him as Suny."If Ethen knew that she was Suny, Raymond and Alexander would also know about it.She didn't want to get into trouble."I got it. Miss Reed.""Okay."Hanging up the phone, Scarlett got out of bed and made a cup of coffee.At eleven o'clock, Katherine called her, "I have arranged for you to meet Ethen tomorrow at noon."Scarlett had nothing to do today, so she went to the b
Chapter 71Looking at the elevator that slowly closed, Stephen took out his cell phone and called Raymond.Raymond, who had just finished a meeting, saw the caller ID and frowned slightly. "What is it?"He had been ridiculed by Alexander and Stephen recently because he divorced Scarlett. To be honest, he didn't want to receive a call from either of them at all.That was because it was unlikely to be good.However, to his surprise, Stephen asked him, "Ray, do you know what your ex-wife really does?"Raymond was stunned. What did Scarlett do?She didn't seem to have a job, but she graduated from a renowned college and majored in finance. However, she seemed to have spent most of her time in the Shaw Residence throughout their three-year marriage."She doesn't have a job.""Are you sure?"Stephen asked back, but he then hung up.Raymond looked at his phone and couldn't help but frown.If he had not divorced Scarlett, he was sure that she did not have a job.Now, however, he w
Chapter 72At the time, Gale had apparently seen Scarlett, and he walked up to her car with the flowers, blocking her path. Scarlett raised her eyebrows. She lowered her window and asked, "Mr. Conway, Is there anything I can do for you?" "I was being rude yesterday. Today I came specifically to apologize to you." Whoops! She'd never seen anyone bring red roses to apologize before, and the man had come to her house. Scarlett smiled, "I don't feel offended. If you want nothing else, please step aside. I'm driving into the garage." The gate was already open and Scarlett's car stopped right in front of it. She was about to drive in, but Gale was in the way. Gale raised his hand and looked at his watch. "It's still early. Would you like to have a drink with me?" Scarlett recognized the watch. It was a classic mechanical watch from CV, worth over two million dollars, almost the price of her car. His move looked ridiculous in Scarlett’s eyes like a kid showin
Chapter 73Scarlett looked down at the rose bouquet in her hand and frowned. Because there was no dustbin, she had to put them in her arms."What do you want?"She looked at Raymond before her and raised her eyebrows.Raymond took a glance at the roses but only found them unpleasant. He looked up and just saw the coldness and alienation in her beautiful eyes.Raymond moved his Adam's apple and looked at her with an expression colder than hers. He replied, "Just one thing."Scarlett was kinda shocked by his answer. She opened the door of her car, put the rose bouquet on the front passenger seat, and closed the door. She asked, "What is it?""Shall we discuss it in your villa?"He said while moving to the side, signaling to her that he would follow her going inside.But Scarlett didn't move. She glanced over him and said, "I don't think it is necessary. We can discuss it right here."She paused and smiled, "Many people have been watching me recently. It is very likely that someone not fa
Chapter 74Inside the bar, Alexander raised his eyebrows and glanced at Julie, who was surrounded by several men not far away. He didn't intend to go forward to help her.Since even Raymond didn't help her, why should he do that?Julie was staring at Alexander. She deliberately greeted Alexander before these guys gathered around her, hoping that he could pull strings for her.Yesterday, Gale made it clear to her. She knew she couldn't count on him. Now she could only manage to get in with Raymond so that her company could get a loan.As she expected, Alexander called Raymond.Julie was slightly relieved, but soon after that, she saw Alexander hang up the phone, glance at her, and turn his eyes away from her.Julie's expression changed. She directly pushed the man in front of her away.Chap had stayed there for a long time, thinking that he could hook up with her. Being pushed by Julie, he was enraged.Seeing that she was leaving, Chap reached out and pulled her. "Where are you
Chapter 75 Scarlett woke up late. She had a good day yesterday. But when she came home after dinner, she ran into the insolent Gale, and she had a quarrel with Raymond, so her good mood was ruined. She stayed awake so late last night that she didn't hear the 6:00 a.m. alarm. It was after 7:00, almost 8:00. Scarlett took a glance at her phone, got out of bed, washed up, made herself a simple sandwich, and poured herself a glass of milk. She was eating her breakfast while scrolling through Twitter. There was nothing special, no news about her on Twitter. After drinking the milk, Scarlett got up and took her yoga mat out. Then she went downstairs to feed the goldfish. It was not particularly cold November in Juanton. It was close to nine o'clock. The sun was up. The wind was a little chilly, but not too cold.After feeding the fish, Scarlett went upstairs. She planned to do two hours of yoga. Suddenly, her cell phone rang.It was Zack.Scarlett raised her eyebrows.
Chapter 76"Mr. Woods arrived ten minutes ago." Scarlett smiled, "He's showed his sincerity." Katherine led her to walk to the private room. "Mr. Woods asked for three hundred million." "He's greedy to have asked for such a number!" Centel had been floated on the stock market five years ago, and today its market value was over two billion. But for five percent of the shares, Ethen asked for 300 million. It was unbelievable! Scarlett withdrew her smiles, put on a cold face, and followed Katherine to the private room. The two arrived at the door. Katherine pushed the door open. Immediately, Ethen stood up in the room, "Miss Suny!" However, when he saw that it was Scarlett, he changed his face. "How come it is you?" Scarlett chuckled, "Miss Suny is not available. I'm her new secretary." Then she paused and smiled faintly at Ethen, "Mr. Woods, it's nice to meet you! I don't think I need to introduce myself." The expression on Ethen's face was complic
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
