Chapter 38 Obsessed with Her
Spencer didn’t care.
Jasper’s mother Evelyn did not answer the phone.
His father Ashley Howard shrugged it off straight away, “I always don’t care about his affairs. If Mr. Doyle thinks there’s a problem, he can talk to him.”
Mr. Doyle’s face was ashen and Scarlet was crying, but Hendrix called at that moment: “Dylan, how do you think this matter should be handled? If Helena had not deliberately retaliated against him, Elias would not have been involved. Miss Scarlet is a girl after all, her reputation and fame are more important.”
Scarlet cried out, “I won’t let Helena go, I want her dead.”
Mr. Doyle’s eyes were impotent: “Would Zack let Helena go? Would Spencer let Helena go? The moment Helena and Reeva grabbed a man, her fate was destined to be perilous, so why do you need to do anything?”
Scarlet was angry: Reeva was treated as a group favourite, but she didn’t even have a proper name and status. If she had a proper name and status, would she work with Martin? Would she risk screwing Jasper?
“Scarlet, you should never, ever have made a move to Jasper.”
“……”
“I can’t give you the title of Missy of the Doyle family, but I can keep you clothed and fed for the rest of your life. Even if you are the Doyle family’s adopted daughter by name, they wouldn’t dare to underestimate you. That old woman loathes you so much, she must still be polite to you on the surface.”
“……”
“Scarlet, you can’t be wrong twice. Instead of hating Helena, why don’t you think about what you’re going to do?”
“……” Scarlet shooed Mr. Doyle out of the bedroom: what did she need him for? He couldn’t solve the problem, he only blamed her! She called for help from Martin: “Martin, help me, I don’t want to marry Elias. I’m disgusted with him.”
“Scarlet.” Martin’s tone was calm: “I owe you a favor, but as far as the current situation is concerned, your engagement to Elias is the best way to appease Jasper’s anger on the one hand, and to preserve your reputation on the other.”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“……”
“After the engagement, I will then find a chance to set up Elias, so that the outside world will know that he is the one who has wronged you. At that time, you and he will withdraw from the marriage, which is reasonable and fair and will not damage your reputation. In future, if you remarry, no one will dare to mock at you.”
“……” Scarlet finally calmed down: her illegitimate daughter’s name had already made her unbearable, and if her reputation was further tarnished, that old woman would definitely make a move on her, and she would not be able to live well in first-class circles in the future. Martin was right, it was important to keep her reputation well first.
She called Mr. Doyle.
Mr. Doyle called Hendrix.
That evening, Mr. Doyle took Scarlet and Hendrix took Elias and met for dinner at a restaurant. The whole time Scarlet did not look good, but Elias was like an attentive bee, taking care of Scarlet in every way.
The two sides made mutual terms and conditions and finally reluctantly agreed.
The next morning, they held a press conference and Scarlet attended holding Elias’ arm, putting on a public show of flirting and love, and finally announced, “The 15th of next month is a good day, they will be engaged on that day, and the media will be invited to attend the engagement party.”
Another reporter asked, “The Riley family and the Yip family are married, and Mr. Elias and Ms. Rebecca are engaged to each other. May I ask what will happen to the Yip family’s side after Mr. Elias and Miss Jane Scarlet are engaged?”
Elias smiled: “Yesterday I have officially informed the Yip family to cancel the marriage and officially break up with Rebecca. If everyone presents later sees me and Rebecca together, it must be because Rebecca still has a lingering love for me, and it has nothing to do with me. I only have Scarlet in my heart, obsessed with her and crazy about her.”
Jasper snapped his fingers in satisfaction across the screen: Well done, Daniel.
He asked Joey: “What’s the movement of the Yip family? Is Lyla still winning big? Can Rebecca still be happy and smug?”
