Chapter 298
“You’ve all bashed Scarlet from the start, but did any of you blame Johnson for what he did? When a woman and a married man has an affair, should the woman be the only one to shoulder all the blame while the man can return to his family and be forgiven, completely scot-free?”
Charmine’s powerful and well-articulated words were like a slap in the face for everyone.
Netizens on the live-streaming platform gushed with praises for her.
[Boss Jordan is right, Johnson is the one at fault! The douche deserves to be dead!
[Scarlet is too unlucky! Not only did the jerk lie to her for seven years, but he even took advantage of her. Now, she’s ridiculed and called the third-wheeler!
[Douchebag Johnson Spencer! Let’s attack his Twitter! Bombard him!)
Everyone went on a verbal rampage.
Meanwhile, Scarlet’s assistant helped her out of the company. Scarlet had a thick layer of bandages on her wrist, her face pale and weak. As she gazed at the scene outside the company building, tears rolled down her cheeks unceasingly. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Scarlet never thought that the truth would reveal itself; she had long accepted that no one would believe her even when she died. She was ready to die an unjust death, yet she never thought Charmine would successfully prove her innocence… 1
Scarlet had talked about marriage with Johnson on the phone only once in all those years. She could not believe that Charmine could find the recording!
She bowed a ninety-degree bow toward Charmine as she tearfully and hoarsely spoke,
“Thank you… Thank you, Ms. Jordan. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be standing here, still alive. Thank you s o much! Also…”
Scarlet straightened herself and turned toward the live-streaming man’s phone.
“From the start of all this, I didn’t come out with any statement, but that’s because I don’t even know what to say. I’ve never thought that the man that I loved so dearly would be a married man.
“Before this incident was exposed, I still wanted to give it another shot to propose to him. I reserved an engagement ring, and I even bought us a wedding house…”
Her eyes turned redder as she spoke, and after pausing a moment to sob, Scarlet continued, “I’m not trying to gain sympathy here… I just want to remind all the girls out there to not be like me. Remember: If a man is unwilling to officiate your relationship with him, he’s hiding something.
“Finally, I want to take this opportunity to show my sincere apologies to Gigi. Even though I was cheated o nas well, I did cause damage to your family. I feel guilty at the thought of you and your child. I don’t even have the courage to say this to you upfront, so I can only say this through this live: No matter what you ask for, please get in touch with me. I’ll do my best to make up to you.” 1
With that, Scarlet made another ninety-degree bow at the camera, a display of her genuine sincerity.
Scarlet was a victim herself. She was the vulnerable one with her swollen and reddened eyes, but she did not mind nor care. All Scarlet wanted was to apologize sincerely.
Her assistant, Amy gazed at Scarlet with her aching heart. “I’m Scarlet’s manager and assistant,” said Amy to the live-streaming phone, “and I’ve been with her for six years! I can swear to God that Scarlet
really had no idea of all these things! She didn’t know that Johnson was married, and as a matter of fact,
none of the people in and outside the industry knew he was married.
“I’ll have you know that Johnson had taken a lot of Scarlet’s money! He’d always tell her that his companies weren’t doing well before asking her for almost a hundred million bucks! 1
“These companies can’t be tracked down, and his reasoning was that these companies of his were still in their infancy and were low-profile. Thinking back at it now, that’s rather peculiar!
“I hope that with the immense manpower of the internet, everyone can help find out what these companies are and what they do!”
The viewers stormed with fury. Almost a hundred million bucks? It was bad enough that Johnson lied and cheated on Scarlet, but he also took so much of her money! One hundred million was no small amount! Had that jerk Johnson really taken all that money?
