Scarlett understood and nodded. “Thank you”
Her indifference made Dev a little uncomfortable.
However, Scarlett did not notice his abnormality. She looked up and asked him, “Mr. Gatsby, how will
the bidding result be
She didn’t go to the scene yesterday afternoon and didn’t know the final result.
Dev replied lightly, “Gatsby Group has won the bid.”
Scarlett was a little surprised to hear this result.
Sebastian actually didn’t give the development rights to Napier Group?
Wasn’t Miss Napier his dream girl?
She couldn’t figure it out, but she didn’t ask much. She only faintly said to Dev, “Congratulations.”
Dey did not like her polite and distant appearance. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something,
but he felt that he was not qualified.
He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and went forward to ask, “Are you hungry?”
Scarlett shook her head, but out of the corner of her eye, she found that her clothes had been
changed.
A suspicious and shocked gaze swept over Dev.
“It was the maid who changed it for you.”
Dev, upon receiving her misconstrued gaze, quickly explained.
Hearing that the maid helped her change it, Scarlett heaved a sigh of relief.
“I’m sorry.” She looked at Dey uncomfortably.
Dey waved his hand and softly uttered. “It’s understandable that
you
misconstrued.”
After he said this. Scarlett did not know how to respond.
She felt that she should get up and leave now, but her legs….
Just as she was thinking about how to ask Dev to send her back, she heard a voice.
“Auntie Li
A middle-aged woman who was about forty or fifty years old responded and walked in with a plate.
The woman was a little fat and had a gentle smile on her face. She looked very kind.
She placed the plate on the table and smiled at Scarlett, saying, “I’m not sure what you like to eat
either, Miss. I’ve made some breakfast for you according to your preference. Have something to fill
your stomach first. I’ll make something delicious for you at noon.”
Her kindness made Scarlett feel a little uncomfortable. “Thank you.”
Auntie Li waved her hand. “You’re welcome.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out. She even closed the door behind her.
Scarlett thought that Auntie Li must have misunderstood something, so she closed the door for them.
Thinking of this, she felt even more uncomfortable. She quickly propped herself up and sat up from the
bed.
She leaned against the bed and asked Dey with a little embarrassment, “Can you send me home?”
However, Dev did not respond. His brows were tightly furrowed. “Other than heart disease, do you
have any other illnesses?”
Seeing that he was suspicious of her, Scarlett’s expression darkened.
“I’m not sick.”
“Then why is it so hard for you to even sit up?” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Scarlett was stunned for a moment. No matter how well she pretended, it could not escape Dev’s
eyes.
“I just don’t have enough energy and blood. I don’t have any strength when I’m tired”
Just lack of energy and blood?”
Scarlett’s tone, laden with doubt, had a harshness to it.
with doubt, had a
She asked ictly. “Don’t tell me Mr. Gatsby needs to inquire about the terminal illness before you’ll
accept it
Dev quickly explained. “I don’t mean that. I just think…”
Scarlett icily cut him off. “Regardless of what Mr. Gatsby implies, there’s no need for me to give you a
rundown of my physical state, correct?”
Dev’s anger, which had been suppressed deep within, suddenly reignited after being halted by this
statement.
“Scarlett, can you not speak to me in this tone?”
“Then what tone does Mr. Gatsby want me to use when speaking to you? Should I be polite or
reverent?”
Scarlett stared at Dev without blinking.
She wanted to ascertain if he still retained any conscience.
He was clearly the one who broke her artificial heart and caused her heart to fail, yet he still blamed her
for speaking in this
tone
She refrained from retaliating, yet why did she couldn’t speak to him in such a harsh way?
