Semua Bab All She Needs: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Cassandra had also been young once, so of course she knew how Dylan felt. When she'd been younger, she'd also placed a tremendous amount of importance on love. However, now that she was older and had more experience, she understood that there were more important things in life than love, such as living a peaceful life. Cassandra had rushed to Catheden to attend Dylan's wedding, and she'd also planned to transfer all her shares at Fairmont Corporations to him. However, after witnessing such a catastrophic scene, she decided that she didn't want to add to his burdens and didn't mention it. Someday, when the dust had settled, she would share her plan to retire with him and hand over Fairmont Corporation to him.She hoped that once he became the new owner of Fairmont Corporation, he would finally be able to leave this city that had brought him nothing but pain. Perhaps he would also put down some roots in Amerstica, marry a nice woman, and live the rest of his life in bliss. Cassandra w

Eventually, he gave up on trying to do work and went back to the room where he'd left Scarlett, only to find her fast asleep on the couch. He moved soundlessly toward her sleeping form to get a closer look. Even in her sleep, she was perfect. Although she was so close to him, she'd always be just out of his reach, and he'd never be able to have her. He sighed desolately at that thought before planting an affectionate kiss on her forehead and pulling the blanket over her body.Scarlett cracked her eyes open groggily bright and early the next morning. She'd only meant to rest her tired eyes for a while last night and hadn't expected to fall asleep. Looking down at her body, she saw that she was still in her wedding dress. The memories from yesterday came rushing back to her, making her shoot up from the couch. However, she immediately felt lightheaded and almost fell backward as soon as she sat up.On the other hand, Jonathan hadn't gotten a wink of sleep last night. There had just bee

Lucas watched Scarlett's lonely silhouette disappear into the bathroom and felt tears prick his eyes. How had things ended up like this? All he'd wanted was for his mother to be happy with Jonathan.Lucas pulled out his phone and immediately sent out a few text messages to Jonathan."Uncle Jonathan, how could you go back on your word? I only told you about Mommy's wedding because I wanted you to court my mother properly. But my mommy looks so sad right now, and you're not even by her side!" Lucas was still fuming after he sent that message, so he quickly typed another one. "Asshole!" Cursing Jonathan seemed to appease Lucas slightly. He turned off his phone after sending it.In the bathroom, Scarlett felt close to bursting into tears. She turned on the faucet before slumping onto the floor with her head between her hands and bawling. She'd never felt heartbreak like this before, and she couldn't stop her tears from streaming down her face. Thankfully, the sound of rushing water fr

"I already told you that she isn't with me. I'm not so despicable as to hold someone here against their will. If you keep causing a ruckus, I won't hesitate to call security on your ass. Scar probably went off somewhere to clear her head, so you can go ahead and look for her or even call her."Jonathan didn't want to get into another fight with Dylan. The scene at the wedding was causing a media storm; if he got caught in another argument with Dylan right now … he didn't even want to think about what the consequences would be."You really don't know where Scar is?" Dylan asked uncertainly after he saw how resolutely Jonathan answered him. He knew that if Jonathan had really hidden Scarlett, he wouldn't be afraid to admit it because he didn't care about what others thought about him. After all, he was the same man who'd forcefully dragged Scarlett away from her own wedding in front of so many wedding guests. "I don't," Jonathan replied as his phone buzzed noisily on his desk. When Jon

"No, she's lying. I just saw my dad today, and I bet my mommy was only staring at the menu for so long because she misses him," Lucas told Alicia, calling out Scarlett's bluff. He knew that his mom was definitely thinking about Jonathan. Why else would she look so glum? There was just one thing he couldn't figure out—if his mom liked Uncle Jonathan, why couldn't she just be with him? They were adults, but they all seemed to make life more complicated for themselves, and it frustrated Lucas to no end. Although Lucas knew that the simple solution to Jonathan and Scarlett's problems was to just tell Jonathan where they were, he decided against it. If he did that, his mother would never forgive him. "Is that true, Scarlett? Is your husband here?" Alicia asked, intrigued. She had a feeling that even though Scarlett was alone with her son in a foreign place right now, her husband mustn't be too far behind looking for them."Of course not. Don't listen to this child spout such nonsense,"
