The person blocking the way was Caroline.

Andrew had come to see Scarlett to plead on behalf of Adrian, but Scarlett didn't help. Now, her son was going to jail.

Although it wasn't for a long time, he would still have a criminal record.

Even if he completed his studies, many future opportunities would be limited.

Caroline was both furious and resentful.

She held a grudge against Scarlett for not helping.

She thought Scarlett was cold-hearted and unfeeling.

Today, she was here to embarrass her.

She even brought reporters.

She knelt down in public!

Yes, she wanted to create a scandal, making everyone believe that Scarlett was an ungrateful girl who wouldn't lift a finger to save her own brother.

Crying and accusing, she said, "Adrian is your brother! How can you just watch him suffer? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? He's your only brother..."

Her tears and cries were so convincing that anyone who didn't know the situation would think she was deeply wronged.

    Mrs. Robert was usually a calm and composed person. So why was she so flustered now? Scarlett put down what she was doing and asked, "Mrs. Robert, what's wrong?" Mrs. Robert handed her the phone. "Look at this." Scarlett's eyes fell on the phone screen. It was a post about the incident that happened earlier that morning. The post had been edited to make her look like a terrible person. She didn't need to think hard to know who was behind this! Caroline's antics that morning were all for this moment, weren’t they? With the internet being so advanced, it was easy to start an online smear campaign. All it took was some money to buy traffic, and people would believe anything they saw without questioning the truth. Some people, with their twisted views, could even drive a good person to despair. She remembered a news story she had read recently. A girl had asked a delivery guy to bring groceries to her father. The girl was grateful for the delivery guy's help and tried to give him

    Wayne hadn't been interested at first, but after Carlos's nudge, he glanced up at the stage. Under the spotlight sat a stunning figure at the piano. He raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised. Surprised to see Scarlett at this event. Surprised she could play the piano. Carlos said, "Miss Norman is quite talented. My wife told me she’s also an excellent dancer." Wayne's gaze remained fixed on the stage. Scarlett placed her slender fingers gently on the piano keys. Her body relaxed, and with a slight press of her fingertips, the first note rang out. The rhythm followed, smoothly and orderly, creating a beautiful melody... Carlos, who knew nothing about piano, was eager to share his excitement with Wayne. "I put so much effort into developing this drug. Without your significant investment, we couldn't have developed it so quickly." Wayne was here today because he was an investor. He had equity and a say in decisions. "Later, we need to discuss the pricing strategy. Do you have t

    Wayne knew her skin was fair, but only by touching it did he realize how delicate and smooth it was.It felt like a feather brushing against his heart.He craved this sensation, a feeling that utterly captivated him.Scarlett's eyes widened in shock, her pupils trembling.What was he doing? No. This couldn't happen.Given her current physical condition, she absolutely couldn't engage in such activities with a man. However, today Wayne was being even more audacious!She couldn't break free from his grasp, so she steeled herself and bit down on his lips that were causing chaos on hers!Wayne winced in pain, loosening his grip slightly, giving Scarlett the chance to push him away.She glared at him, her eyes blazing with anger, and demanded, "Wayne, what do you mean by this? Do you think I'm some woman who casually sleeps with men?"Wayne looked at her, his expression tinged with a hint of confusion. "Aren't you?" Scarlett almost raised her hand to slap him, but she held back.She could

    Wait, isn't that Wayne?! What on earth is he doing here?! Scarlett felt like she had seen a ghost. She quickly pulled her hand back, rolled up the car window, and armed herself with sunglasses, a hat, and a mask. She was convinced that her escape plan was foolproof and that Wayne hadn't yet realized she had run away. Wayne being here had to be a coincidence. He must have other business to attend to. With that thought, Scarlett felt slightly less anxious. She hunched down, burying her face in the steering wheel, praying he hadn't seen her. Knock, knock— The car window was suddenly tapped. Scarlett, like a quail, refused to open the window no matter what. Meanwhile, the car in front of her wasn't moving either. Growing anxious, Scarlett honked the horn a few times. Wayne stood beside the car, his gaze cold and menacing. At this point, she was still stubbornly resisting? Not getting out of the car? Fine. Very well. He wanted to see just how long Scarlett could stay inside the c

    Before she could finish her sentence, Wayne's grip tightened around her neck! At that moment, Watne truly wanted to strangle her! This woman only disgusted him! She wasn't worth his affection! She didn't deserve it!! Scarlett felt an intense pain. She couldn't breathe. Her chest heaved with difficulty. She had said such shameless words just to make Wayne hate her, to loathe her, and then let her go. But when she met Wayne's wounded gaze, she couldn't bear to face it. She slowly closed her eyes. Her mind was clear. Wayne had been kind to her only because she had lost her child. If he knew she was still carrying another child, he would never accept it. Or worse, he might force her to get rid of it. After all, when she lost the previous baby, Wayne had said that even if there hadn't been an accident, he wouldn't have allowed her to keep it. She couldn't give up her own flesh and blood for a man as unpredictable as Wayne. She wouldn't let herself be swayed by the small kindness he

    Wayne narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Belinda. "About the child?" Belinda tried to maintain her composure. "Yes, the embryo tissue I gave you is indeed mine. The blood you saw was from my miscarriage, not my period as that doctor claimed. How many women have you been with? How many of them could possibly carry your child? You should know the answer. I could lie, but can the embryo tissue lie?" Wayne's face remained impassive. But inside, he was already contemplating. He had only been with one woman. The only one who could have conceived his child was the woman from that night. Belinda could lie. but the DNA test on the embryo couldn't. He hadn't pursued the matter further because he didn't want any more entanglements with Belinda. Belinda continued, "That doctor lied. He was bribed to falsely accuse me." "Is that so?" Wayne raised an eyebrow, his gaze icy. "The doctor is downstairs. You can question him anytime," Belinda said confidently, having come prepared. She wasn't afra

    The window! Yes, the window. If the door was a no-go, maybe the window would work! Scarlett immediately stood up and walked towards the window. She tried to push it open to check the height, but the window wouldn't budge. She twisted the handle and shook it forcefully. The window didn't move an inch. Her brows furrowed in frustration... Just then, Mrs. Robert's voice came from outside the door, "Young Mistress, did you upset the Master? He seemed very angry when he left and ordered the room to be sealed. Without his permission, you can't get out. I think you should apologize to him and ask for his forgiveness..." "His temper is so foul. Will apologizing really get me out?" Scarlett doubted seriously. She angrily slapped the window. Wayne, you jerk! She cursed him in her mind. Mrs. Robert asked, "Do you have any other ideas?" Scarlett hadn't thought of any feasible plan yet. She lay down on the bed to conserve her energy. Her brain kept working, trying to come up with a sol

    Wayne winced in pain, his brows furrowing deeply. But he didn't push her away. This woman was now pressed entirely against him. Her soft, boneless body seemed to easily stir his desires, making Wayne feel like a pervert. Having such thoughts about a sick woman. He struggled to suppress his agitation. Maintaining an outward appearance of calm and composure. Yet his body was relishing the sensations she brought him. Soon, her grip on his hand began to loosen… Wayne also noticed that her initial bite, which had hurt a lot, was now losing its force. Scarlett's hand slowly slid from his collar, and as she began to slump down, Wayne quickly caught her by the waist, holding her close. "Scarlett..." His voice carried a hint of panic. Scarlett didn't respond. She had fainted. Wayne scooped her up in his arms and began striding out of the room, calling for the driver to prepare the car as he walked. Bryan said, "Take my car. I'll get it ready right now." He ran out to start the car pa

    Wayne glanced out the window, his stern face devoid of any expression. Only when he thought of someone did a hint of warmth appear. "To the Norman Family." " yes sir, he replied and headed towards the Norman Family residence. In no time, they arrived at the residence. Wayne got out of the car. "Leave the keys. You can go back." "Yes, sir." The driver parked the car and handed over the keys. Wayne took them and walked towards the house. The living room was empty and quiet; Scarlett was nowhere to be seen. He frowned slightly. Could she be out? No, that didn’t make sense. She wouldn’t take the baby out after just finding him. He began searching room by room, starting downstairs and then moving upstairs. Finally, when he pushed open one of the doors, he saw Scarlett.She was lying on her side on the bed, gently patting the baby, trying to lull him to sleep. He walked in quietly, his movements as light as possible, yet Scarlett still noticed someone entering. She turned her he

    Before the lawyer could even begin reading the contents, Caroline couldn't wait any longer. She snatched the document from him, eagerly opening it to browse through the contents. Her heart was filled with joy and anticipation, dreaming of inheriting all the Norman Family's assets. However... The more she read, the paler her face became. By the end, her face was completely drained of color. "No, this can't be. Andrew would never do this to me. This must be fake. It has to be fake!" She screamed in madness, tearing the document to shreds. The lawyer didn't stop her because it was just a copy, not the original. It didn't matter if she tore it up. "You must have all conspired against me!" She glared at the lawyer and then turned her gaze to Scarlett and Beatrice. "You two! It must be you two behind this!" Scarlett couldn't be bothered to waste words with her. She signaled the lawyer to read the will. Caroline wasn't about to give up easily, but Adrian held her back and said, "Mom,

    As she spoke, she noticed Scarlett holding a tiny baby in her arms. She quickly walked over and asked, "Where did this baby come from?" Before she could answer, she guessed, "Is it your friend's?" "It's mine," Scarlett said. Mrs. Robert's eyes widened. "Young Mistress... what did you say? Whose child is this?" Quickly, she thought of something. "Could it be the Master's?" Scarlett shook her head. "No." "What?!" Mrs. Robert was flabbergasted. "If it's not the Master's, then whose is it? Did you have a child with another man?" Scarlett didn't deny it. "Yes." "Scarlett," a deep, anger-laden voice sounded from behind her. Scarlett turned around to see Old Master Gray standing on the steps at the doorway, leaning on his cane. From his expression, it was clear he had heard Mrs. Robert's words. His face was ashen, and he spoke in a steady, yet stern voice, "Come with me." After speaking, she walked inside and headed towards Wayne's study. Butler Ronald glanced at Scarle

    It was Adrian! "Adrian!" Caroline rushed over in a panic, terrified that something terrible had happened to her son. She lifted the metal frame and cradled her unconscious son, patting his cheeks. "Adrian, wake up! Please don't scare me like this, please..." Caroline was genuinely crying. Adrian was her only son, and all her hopes were pinned on him. If anything happened to him, she wouldn't be able to live on. Everything she did was for her son! "Are you stupid? Why did you save that woman who's fighting you for the inheritance?Scarlett's knee was bleeding heavily from the impact, but she ignored her own injury and took out her phone to call 911. She limped over, wanting to check Adrian's condition. Caroline, thinking Scarlett meant harm, pushed her away. "Don't touch my son!"Scarlett stumbled from the push. "If you don't want your son to be in danger, let me take a look. I'm a doctor; I won't hurt him," she said coldly. Caroline, still holding her son and crying, accused

    "It's not up to you to decide who gets the Norman family's inheritance, Caroline. I will find out how my dad really died, and if you had anything to do with it, I won't let you off," Scarlett said coldly. Caroline had just returned, "If you dare to fight my son for the inheritance, I won't let you off either!" "Mom..." Adrian tried to persuade her. Andrew had just passed away, and here they were, arguing heatedly in front of his body. How could the deceased rest in peace? "Adrian, I'm telling you, don't let your father brainwash you. I'm the one closest to you. What does Scarlett have to do with you?" Caroline snapped. Adrian always sided with Scarlett, which made her very unhappy. She believed that Adrian's behavior was all Andrew's fault. He had instilled the wrong ideas in their son! Half-siblings, what kind of bond could they have? Given her own conflicts with Scarlett, it was destined that Adrian could never see Scarlett as family! And now, with the inheritance dispute,

    Scarlett explained in a soft voice.Wayne only had a rough idea of what happened. After all, Caroline had chosen a remote location, and Wayne was clueless about what transpired in between. Hearing Scarlett say that Caroline had tried to harm her, Wayne's nerves tightened. "Are you hurt?" he asked. Scarlett shook her head. Thinking about Julian's injury, Wayne felt reassured. She was skilled with a scalpel; it wasn't easy to harm or capture her. However, she was still a girl, and no matter how smart, her physical strength had its limits. "Be careful from now on," he advised. "If anything happens, contact me immediately." "Okay," Scarlett replied, her clear, bright eyes blinking. "Wayne, I..." She wanted to tell him that she had given birth to a child. But as the words reached her lips, she hesitated, unsure of how to begin. "What's wrong?" Wayne asked. she lowered her head, trying to find the right words in her mind. "It's about last time. I had something important

    Andrew had it all figured out. Once Scarlett vented her anger, he could ask her to take care of Adrian, and she wouldn't be able to refuse him. He had already planned everything. The distribution of the Norman Family's assets was settled in his will. No matter how hard Caroline tried, it would be futile. Caroline knew Andrew didn't have much love for her, but she never expected him to be so cold-hearted as to use the inheritance to threaten her into confessing for Scarlett. "I've been with you for almost twenty years. Don't you have any trust in me? I've told you, I didn't..." "Just tell me, are you going to confess or not?" Andrew cut her off, having no patience for her excuses. Caroline stood there, trembling all over. Though their relationship had never been particularly loving, they had always been seen together, and he had been gentle and considerate towards her. How could he be so heartless now? "I gave you a son!" she shouted, her voice breaking. Andrew remained

    At this moment, his gaze at Scarlett was so intense it felt like it could tear her apart. If looks could kill, she would undoubtedly be dead by now! "I was just..." Scarlett began to explain. But Wayne abruptly stood up, clearly unwilling to hear any of her words or excuses, and stormed out of the dining room. Scarlett tightly pressed her lips together and didn't follow him. Wayne was furious right now; if she approached him, he wouldn't listen to her calmly. It was better to let him cool down first. She would explain once he had calmed down. "Achoo—" Scarlett covered her mouth as she sneezed! Mrs. Robert noticed and asked, "Are you catching a cold?" Scarlett nodded. Mrs. Robert went to get her some cold medicine. "Thank you," Scarlett said. Mrs. Robert smiled warmly, "You're Mr. Gray's wife. Taking care of you is part of my job." At the mention of Wayne, Scarlett lowered her eyes. She put the pill in her mouth and washed it down with water. After eating, she changed i

    Scarlett knew that someone like Julian, a pampered rich kid, was terrified of death. "Let me go," she said calmly, her tone direct. Julian refused to budge. "I don't believe you'd dare to kill me." He thought Scarlett, just a girl, wouldn't have the guts to do it! But what he didn't know was that as a doctor, someone who dared to use a scalpel, she was anything but timid. Scarlett pressed the sharp edge of the broken glass into his skin. Julian felt the pain and touched the warm, sticky blood, his face turning pale with fear "You... you really dare?" He was so nervous he could barely speak! "You wanted to ruin me, and if I don't have the guts to fight back, then I deserve it, don't I?" Scarlett, with the precision of a surgeon, applied just the right amount of pressure. Julian felt intense pain and saw a lot of blood, making it look severe, but it wasn't life-threatening. This was all about her choice of location! As a doctor, she knew the human body well! She kn
