Ever since that day at the casino, Ms. Scarlett has considered the smart little girl Natasha as family. Ms. Scarlett could somehow relate to the little girl's situation; at some point in Ms. Scarlett's life, it was f*cked up. Regardless, Ms. Scarlett wouldn't want others' lives messed up as well, especially a young child.Although the little girl Natasha was somewhat afraid of the outside world, particularly when she was abducted, that changed after meeting Ms. Scarlett, who was kind to her. Natasha was willing to open up her heart once again. Also, she was an obedient little girl, which was a plus!At this moment, Ms. Scarlett was narrowing her eyes at the individual that was suspiciously walking at a fast pace toward Sheila. At first, Ms. Scarlett was contemplating whether she should act or not. But when she looked at the screen of her phone, she then lifted her head toward the clueless Sheila, who seemed to be waiting for someone. Ms. Scarlett's face turned sour for a moment befo
Glenn hadn't foreseen something like this would occur. He was boiling with resentment! Who the f*ck threw a freaking door right in his face? He slowly stood up while staring hard at the emergency exit's doorway. To his astonishment, a lady's silhouette could be seen. A woman? Why would women come out of the emergency exit? At the very least it should be a man; after all, it wasn't logical for a woman to toss a heavy door! Glenn was having a hard time processing his thoughts; in any case, it was an eye-opener for him. Not long after, Ms. Scarlett emerged out of the emergency exit with her usual calm and collected expression. Oh c'mon! This lady wants to fight with him and his men? Glenn scoffed; there was just no way that was possible. Although he didn't believe it, he wouldn't be foolish enough to confront a woman of an unknown origin. With that, Glenn moved his chin slightly as a signal for his men to surround Ms. Scarlett. "Who would have thought that a woman would come for th
Yesterday's event made Sett decide that he would use the law against the Ratherfords, as he couldn't slide what happened.Just because he wasn't actively fighting the Ratherfords doesn't mean he wouldn't retaliate if he were attacked. Those Ratherford scumbags were really pushing their luck! Also, Sett had a hunch that Glenn scum and his men wouldn't easily let go of their victim. Presently, the problem was... "You want to file a complaint against the Ratherfords?" The pot-bellied police officer on the disk glanced at Sett with a dismissive look in his eyes.Sett was in disbelief at the police officer's plain lies. He was frowning while mulling over the fact that the police officer was acting unreasonably."My apologies, but today, you see, we were quite busy with all the complaints, and I can tell that it isn't urgent. You can file a report and you can leave." While picking at his ears, the pot-bellied police officer casually stated.When Sett saw the police officer's skeptical att
Soon, Sett reached the Prosecutor's Office, where an old man in his glasses could be seen reading important documents. "You want to file a complaint over a student fight or something?" The eccentric old man slightly adjusted his glasses as he stared at Sett. At first glance, he could immediately tell that Sett was a college student, and there was no doubt in his mind about his judgment. But then, he shook his head. 'Is this another student wanting to complain about their school's management? This isn't a kindergarten playground, you know.' "Pardon?" Sett was confused; he had no idea what he was trying to say. "Kid, you should file a report to the police station first. You can leave." The eccentric old man said as he returned to what he was doing earlier, arranging the files. 'I already did it, and it didn't go well...' Sett said in his mind, with an awkward smile. Fortunately, he had already come prepared, and if one wanted to make a case, one should be prepared to arrange all ne
Early in the morning, Sett could be seen dragging his bare-naked body toward the bathroom while feeling sourness all over. Looking at the mirror, he could see bruises on his side."It’s been two days… My injuries still hadn’t fully recovered yet." Sett uttered that, then he let out a groan. The pinkish bruise on his side was where Glenn had punched him. That dude's strength was terrifying. On top of that, he had to deal with that retard, Joel Laker, at the police station, which was really an annoying encounter. "I have to get stronger, strong enough to defend myself..."In truth, Sett had suffered humiliation after humiliation since he was young. However, once he had learned his identity as the sole heir of the Crow family, then no one would be able to stand in his path. He had the wealth and the backing of the Crow family, not to mention he had become stronger physically!But after being beaten black and blue by Glenn and his men, it was like cold water was poured on top of his hea
"I made sure she didn't suspect me... You fucker, you sold me out! That's why Elena found out!" Joel Laker begrudgingly said.What's this rabid dog bubbling about? Sett thought."Sold you out? Excuse me, you don't have that much value." Sett sarcastically said while picking up the tea that the maid served them.'That's hot...' Sett felt the tip of his tongue burn. He glanced at Joel Laker, who was getting ready to bite him. Sett didn't mind as he continued to roast him verbally. "Additionally, I'm her brother-in-law and it's within my responsibility to tell her the "truth". Too bad you got caught in the act."It was precisely at this moment that the young master, Patrick, appeared. As the young master, Patrick, passes by, the numerous servants and maids bow.As a highly educated man, young master Patrick approaches the table with a gentleman's smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you in my humble place, Madam Claire.""Likewise, young master Patrick, I thought your father was merely boasti
'It's all my fault. If I hadn't argued with my son, things wouldn't have escalated, our relationship wouldn't have been jeopardized.' Clifford thought in his mind while his eyes were filled with sorrow, but when he looked at his granddaughter trying her best to help him, a smile formed in his lips. He still has his beloved granddaughter. At this time, young master Patrick appeared, and instantly his brows shot up. He barked angryly. "Who allowed you to enter?" The young master, Patrick, didn't disguise his hatred toward his grandfather. To him and his father, this old man was a hindrance to their plan. There was also his younger sibling, Nessie Laker, who was like a sour thumb to him. The commotion had attracted the attention of the family servant and even the guards outside. There was bound to be gossiping when people gathered. Not to mention that their hushed voices were clear as day toward Sett. "Haven't you heard the news?" The guard asked. "Oh, the one that went viral?" The t
It was time to leave, Sett stood up and bid farewell to the old man, Clifford, and his granddaughter, Nessie, who was dazzlingly watching him, and when Sett had shaken hands with her, she would yelp and her face would go red.As Sett was leaving, he suddenly heard the forlorn voice of the old man, Clifford, behind him."Are you not afraid? that you're facing a family that is second to none, and an unknown entity from overseas is backing it up? that even my stubborn son had no choice but to give way to them in selling half of our properties?" The old man, Clifford, reminded him. Also, he didn't want to witness a promising young man being devoured whole by the tyrannical Ratherford family.And from old man Clifford's short meeting with Sett. He could tell that Sett was hinting at dark memories of the past. Merely gazing into Sett's eyes tells him so. He understands him, as he had gone on the same path of getting his revenge."Young man, as a piece of advice, it's not too late to give u
