The waiter smoothly pushed the dining cart over, relieving Dev of any embarrassment.
Pretending nothing had occurred, he picked up his knife and fork and began to cut the steak slowly.
He cut the steak and placed it on Scarlett’s plate.
“Miss Sales, you are too slender. You should consume more.”
Scarlett had lost a considerable amount of weight compared to five years ago.
In the past, she had a bit of baby fat and appeared full of energy.
She had become so thin that she had only half her weight left. Her weak body and bones made it no
surprise that she was easily falling asleep.
Scarlett picked a few vegetable leaves and, with her chopsticks, ate them.
She refrained from touching the steak that Dev had picked up.
Dev felt that she didn’t like him, so she refused to eat the food he had gotten. His face showed a forlorn
expression. After the meal, Dey wanted to take Scarlett back home, but she refused coldly.
Once her warmheartedness had been denied by him, she vowed never to come near him again.
Knowing she had to safeguard her life, she kept her distance from him.
After rejecting Dev, she went to the hotel garage, retrieved the key to the business car from her bag,
and planned to drive it home, just as she had done the day before.
However, she discovered her bag was vibrating from her phone.
She glanced at her phone and saw that it was still Mr. Yea calling.
He was crazily searching for her, likely wanting to sleep with her once more.
Given her frail body and bones, she could no longer endure the torment,
She pondered it and still responded to his WhatsApp message, “I’m completely exhausted. Let me take
a break first. Can we discuss it in a few days, alright?”
She had no alternative but to capitulate, as Mr. Yea possessed the proof that she had intended to
murder James.
When James awoke, he was faced with a barrage of questions from the Forrest Group, so he didn’t
have the time to deal with her at the moment.
If Mr. Yea was unhappy and exposed her directly, James would take care of her first.
Even though she was unwilling to be tormented by Mr. Yea, she could only offer comforting words to
James so as not to
offend him.
She sent the message, then switched off her phone, grabbed the car key and opened the door.
Just as she was about to get into the car, a Bugatti abruptly pulled up in front of her.
The car window descended slowly, its three-dimensional side profile illuminated by the dim light,
exquisitely revealed. Scarlett’s heart trembled when she saw the side profile of the person.
Not knowing if Sebastian was searching for her, she hesitated to linger. Gripping the car door, she
prepared to enter The man’s frigid voice emanated from behind her. “Hop in the car.”
Scarlett froze in place.
Didn’t he instruct her never to show up in his presence?
He allowed her to get into the car. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Scarlett coldly gazed at the man in the car, locking with his cold stare.
He seemed ready to strangle her if she didn’t obey him.
Scarlett hesitated momentarily, yet still marched resolutely towards the Bugatti.
After she had opened the passenger door, sat in the car, and fastened her seat belt, Sebastian started
the car.
This was the first time Scarlett had been in his car; in fact, since she had started following him, he had
never taken her anywhere.
They lay in bed, not speaking much, their memories of the night just passed still fresh in their minds
It was peculiar that he would take the initiative to seek her out even though their relationship had
already ended.
Scarlett had no idea where Sebastian was taking her, and she was too timid to inquire. She simply sat
in the car, silent and compliant.
Sebastian drove her to the undeveloped seaside.
The car was parked at the intersection of the dark, wintery road, with not even a street lamp in sight.
Scarlett’s heart instantly tensed upon seeing this environment and recalling the news of people being
killed and corpses being thrown about.
Sebastian stayed in the car, opening the window to let the sea breeze in.
Lowering his eyes, he fiddled with his cigarette in one hand, not uttering a single word.
Scarlett couldn’t help but feel a bit of strangeness and found herself stealing glances at him.
At a glance, she noticed his eyes were a deep, scarlet red, as if he was struggling to contain his
emotions.
Scarlett’s heart trembled as she sensed something was amiss with him.
She grasped the safety belt firmly, mustered her courage, and inquired in a timid voice, “Mr. Jackman,
what occurred to you?”
Upon hearing her gentle voice, Sebastian’s face fell.
