Chapter 81Nylah couldn’t keep smiling. "Ms. Reed may have misunderstood me."Scarlett raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile. "Really?"Looking at Scarlett’s expression, Nylah didn't know what to say, so she could only smile reluctantly. "Excuse me. I’ll leave."Scarlett nodded and glanced sideways at the people watching them.There was a lot of media this evening. The Galaxy Awards had not started. Most of the people were still on the deck. Many people had heard Scarlett and Nylah talk. But none of them would take pictures of Scarlett and Nylah to post the pictures on Twitter, as they were not so stupid. After all, the organizer of the Galaxy Awards had a good relationship with the James family. And the person behind Nylah was Ralph.Scarlett's dress today was actually not eye-catching. Compared with others’ dresses, her dress was too simple. But it was precise because of the simpleness and she looked even more beautiful.There were many stars present tonight,
Chapter 82She had no choice but to withdraw her gaze and look at the name list in front of her, feeling very bored.The Smith family was particularly influential in the showbiz so tonight Alexander was an important guest.The moment Alexander entered the venue, he saw Scarlett sitting in the guest seat. Raising his eyebrows, he signaled a worker not far away.And the worker walked towards him immediately. "Mr. Smith, what can I do for you?"Alexander pointed to Scarlett not far away. "Is there something wrong with your arrangement? Don't you know who Scarlett is? You arranged her to sit there?"The worker's face became stiff, as he felt a little embarrassed. "Mr. Smith, sorry. I'm not responsible for the seating arrangement and…"Alexander didn't want to listen to his explanation and said, "Raymond will be here in a while. Change Scarlett’s seat quickly."From Alexander’s words, the worker knew what he should do.This seat was arranged according to the importance of guests. S
Chapter 83"Excuse me."It was Raymond.Scarlett did not expect that Raymond would come to such a boring awards show and his seat would be beside hers.She turned sideways and let him come over.Alexander was annoying enough and now there came Raymond.So, she was not in a good mood.Raymond took his seat, turned his head to look at Alexander and twitched the corner of his mouth. "Boring."Glancing at Scarlett, Alexander found that she was sitting there detachedly. She didn’t feel embarrassed at all at the sight of her ex-husband. For a while, Alexander didn't know whether to feel sorry or happy for Raymond.Alexander wanted to know Raymond’s feelings. "Ray, how do you feel now?"Raymond snorted coldly. "I want to find someone to fight with."Hearing this, Alexander became speechless. Raymond sat there for more than 20 minutes without turning his head. But he knew that Scarlett didn’t take a look at him.Raymond had mixed feelings. In the end, he couldn't hold back and turn
Chapter 84"Hahaha, how does the journalist feel? This young lady's personality is really cool! She just leaves and never looks back! Oh my god! If my best friend had been half as cool as the lady, she wouldn’t have been hurt by her ex-boyfriend so deeply!""Ha ha, I was in a good mood all day until I met my ex-husband! I felt the unhappiness of the young lady! It seems that the young lady really doesn't want to look at her ex-husband! I love her attitude!""Am I the only one who thinks that the young lady is so beautiful?""You're not alone! I beg this lady to enter the showbiz.""My confidants and I support the lady to enter the showbiz."…When Scarlett came to Alexis's side, she found that Alexis was making real-time comments with another person’s account."Be careful — don’t be found out."Alexis was secretly making real-time comments. When she heard these words suddenly, she was taken aback.Seeing that the person was Scarlett, Alexis breathed a sigh of relief. "I’m not
Chapter 85The black commercial car had already been driven away. Raymond was still standing there. Scarlett's words were repeated in his mind and his aura became very cold.When people saw him, they wanted to greet him. But at the sight of his cold face, no one dared to come forward and greet him.Seeing Raymond standing there with a cold face, Alexander gloated a little. "Scarlett has left. Why are you still standing here?"Raymond turned his head to shoot him a cold glance. Alexander raised his hand to touch his nose and looked away. "How about having a drink?""Leave me alone.""…"Cruel!Although it was rare for Alexander to see that Raymond got annoyed, he was still a little cowardly when he found that Raymond was in a real mood.He didn't want to annoy Raymond so he turned around and walked towards his car. After taking a few steps, Alexander stopped.Under the moonlight, Raymond was alone. He looked... Very pitiful.Alexander turned around and ran back. "To be honest
Chapter 86Hilla read the caller’s name for Scarlett. It was Zack. Hearing this name, Scarlett woke up.She reached for the phone to answer it. "Mr. Calton?""Ms. Reed, good morning. I hope I don't disturb you."Listening to his tone, Scarlett guessed that there was probably good news.Scarlett became happy. "No."Zack smiled. "That's good. Ms. Reed, I’ve already found out everything you want. If it is convenient for you, I can give it to you now.Scarlett was in a good mood. "Okay, see you at the café where we met last time at ten o'clock.""Okay."After hanging up, Scarlett got up and started to wash.While eating breakfast, she read the trending searches on Twitter.Several hot searches were about the Galaxy Awards. That Alexis was nominated for the best actress three times ranked first in the hot searches.Although Alexis didn't win the award, the hot research about her ranked higher than that about Nylah, as the hot research about Nylah was in second place. And many mo
Chapter 87Rylie glanced at Alexis. "Well, I'm not snitching."Alexis reached out and tried to hug Scarlett, trying to muddle through.Scarlett stopped her and looked at her askance with a faint smile. "Or would you prefer me to tell Justin about it?"Alexis was instantly frightened.Scarlett walked to the sofa and sat down. "Rylie?"Rylie hadn't wanted to hide it from Scarlett. Things like this had happened several times. Now that Scarlett asked, Rylie directly answered, "Alexis endorsed the skin care products of the Cocanel Corporation last year. Cocanel is very satisfied with Alexis. A few days ago, when the contract expired, they contacted us and wanted to talk about this year's endorsement contract. Yet their marketing manager called me this morning, saying that they're not going to renew Alexis' contract this year."Scarlett grunted and glanced at Alexis. "What happened?"Rylie, who had been an agent for so many years, couldn't help saying angrily, "Nylah! The head of Coc
Chapter 88Scarlett laughed and scolded, "You good-for-nothing!"She paused. "Last week I found a good movie project. Pick a role you like."Alexis thought, 'This is what her sister said! How wealthy, domineering, and kind she is!'There was no one else in the office. Alexis was so moved that she directly jumped over and hugged Scarlett. "Oh, how I wish to marry you!"Scarlett pushed her. "I don't want to compete with Justin."Alexis was embarrassed. "You don't need to compete with him. If you like me, I'll go with you immediately!"Scarlett was amused. "Can you just calm down? You've been in showbiz for ten years. What kind of movie didn't you act in?""That's different!"Alexis knew which project Scarlett was interested in. She heard that the Sunrigal Corporation was also planning to invest in it. Nylah was working for Sunrigal, and she was Ralph's woman, so if Nylah wanted to act in it, no one could compete with her!Since Scarlett said so, she must have tied up the deal.
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
