He hung up the phone and casually tossed it onto the table. Smack! Scarlett flinched in surprise. She stood quietly to the side, not daring to make a sound. Getting tangled up with an ex-boyfriend is something no one would tolerate, let alone the arrogant Wayne! "Um..." she began softly, trying to speak. Wayne was fuming, and at that moment, even the sight of Scarlett irritated him. He couldn't calm down, pacing back and forth, his molars grinding audibly, his eyes blazing with uncontrollable anger. He knew deep down that his rage stemmed from the thought that the woman he desired had a disgraceful side! It shattered all the beautiful fantasies he had about that night! Just being here made him think of the disgraceful things he had just heard. He strode out of the room. Scarlett instinctively followed, "President Gray..." Wayne, consumed by fury, snapped "Get lost!" She stopped in her tracks. Even if Wayne had any intention of giving her a chance, after what
In the living room, Caroline sat seductively on the couch, dressed in silky pajamas. Seeing Scarlett, she arched her perfectly shaped eyebrow. "Well, if it isn't Scarlett." Scarlett clenched her fists tightly. During the time her mother had been sick, Carolina had already made herself at home. Her gaze fell on the expensive jade bracelet on Caroline's wrist. It seemed the money from the Gray Family had turned Andrew's fortunes around. Bitterness welled up inside her. "I'm here to see Andrew." Caroline flicked her wavy, chestnut-colored hair. "Your dad's not home." Scarlett turned to leave... "Wait." Caroline called out to her. "You're not here to ask for money, are you? You're already the Young Mistress of the Gray Family. How could you be short on cash? Let me tell you, we have no money to give you. Your mother is a bottomless pit." Scarlett pressed her lips together. This Mistress was now acting like she owned the place?"Andrew hasn't divorced my mom yet. If he refuses to
Wayne tugged irritably at his collar, a cold snort escaping from his chest.The memory of that night, the innocence of that woman, lingered deeply in his mind.Belinda had a boyfriend. The way she was so close to that man, it was obvious they had been intimate."The surveillance footage from that night was destroyed. Without concrete evidence, there could be a mistake. I'll go back and check if there's anything we missed. If only you had left some kind of token or something back then, it would have been better..." Christopher grumbled as he went about his tasks."Wait..."Wayne called him back, "Never mind."Thinking it over calmly, a woman who would engage in such an encounter in that situation—could she really be a reserved woman?Someone who would give herself away so easily—how could he expect her to be pure?His standards were too high.Now, it didn't matter to him at all.Whatever kind of woman she was, he no longer felt the initial excitement.Christopher couldn't understand Wa
Scarlett Norman was in a hotel room close to the hospital where she worked after leaving the bouquet venue . This night was supposed to be her first night of her marriage. Looking at her reflection in a mirror,she straightened her clothes and chuckled slightly thinking about what had happened earlier, No one cared where she was anyway. Suddenly the door was kicked violently from outside, sending it crashing against the wall, before Scarlett could make up what was happening the whole room went pitch ball. scared out of her wits,she trembled ,she could feel her standing. " who's there? .. is anyone.... Before she could finish her sentence, she was slammed against the wall and then onto the table.the items clattered around the floor, and a gun to her head. a voice threatened "Don't speak! if I hear a word I shoot . in the dim light , she could only make out a man with a pair of fierce eyes. she perceived a strong smell of blood and she knew he must be injured. perha
Belinda obediently followed them to the hospital director's office. Wayne was slouched on the sofa, his tall frame perfectly straight and imposing. Only a careful observer would notice the faint paleness of his thin lips. The hospital's antiseptic smell masked the faint scent of blood on him Dressed in a pure black suit, his face exuded a sharp, commanding aura forged through countless storms. Just one look from him was enough to make anyone tremble with fear! His assistant circled behind Wayne, leaned down, and whispered, "All the surveillance footage from last night was deliberately destroyed. It must have been done by those who were after you, to avoid leaving any evidence. This is the doctor who was on duty last night, Belinda Carl and so she must be the one who booked the hotel close by. The director confirmed it, and I checked the duty roster myself. She was indeed on duty last night." Wayne looked up. Belinda gasped sharply. Wasn't this the CEO of Gray's cooperation
The call was from her colleague, Bryan willow. They had graduated from the same medical school, and had gone abroad for further studies. Now, he was quite renowned back home. Bryan had always looked out for her, so they were good friends. "What's up? Tell me," she responded promptly. "I have a patient, but I have an emergency and can't make it. Can you go for me?" Scarlett glanced at the time. She didn't have any clinic appointments today. She had time in the morning, so she agreed, "Sure." "The address is Madonna villa, Area A, Unit 306. Just tell the guard you're looking for Mr. Christopher, and they'll notify him." "Got it." "And Scarlett, don't mention this to anyone, and don't ask too many questions. Just focus on doing your job and leave quickly," Bryan instructed. "I understand." After hanging up, Scarlett got into her car and headed to the location. The place was a high-end residential area with top-notch security and privacy. At the gate, the guard sto
She lowered her eyes as she walked over to pack up the medical kit, not forgetting her duties as a doctor. "The wound shouldn't get wet for now. Disinfect it once a day, and try to wear loose clothing to avoid irritating the wound." She placed the medications down. "This one is for oral use, and this one is for external application." Wayne didn't turn around, merely responding with a faint "Hmm." Scarlett didn't say much more either.picked up her medical kit and walked out. She entered her car and drove back to the hospital, and it was almost eleven o'clock by the time she arrived. She grabbed a bite to eat at the hospital cafeteria. Just as she returned to her department, the director called her into his office. "I've decided to send Belinda Carl to the training at the Second District Hospital," the director said, his expression serious, as if he had something difficult to say. Scarlett was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Wasn't I supposed to go?" "You know, all
Bryan came here looking for Scarlett , hitching a ride with wayne. When Belinda approached them, Bryan opened the car door and got out, saying, "I'm heading off." After he left, Belinda got into the car and sat across from Wayne, feeling a bit uneasy. She realized that wayne might have mistaken her for someone else. However, she also recognized the benefits of being close to him. The dean had always admired Scarlett, and suddenly, the opportunity to intern at the Second District Hospital was given to her, all because of wayne. Belinda decided to seize this man. Such a good thing, such an opportunity, was rare. She felt that fate was favoring her, and she had to grab it. "I won't lose this opportunity never," she said in her mind, lifting her gaze. Wayne seemed surprised that she had made a decision so quickly. He shifted slightly, appearing casual but actually curious about her answer. "I don't want anything." For him to promise marriage, there must have been a s
