Scott couldn't help but smirk a bit and then said, "I came here because of that. Aboli and I can sign the divorce papers right now. Would that satisfy you?"
After saying that, he glanced at Mrs. Campbell and Brando standing at a distance.
In an instant, Mrs. Campbell's face showed anger. Aboli bit her lip slightly, bowed her head, and Brando furrowed his brow, feeling that what Scott said was not entirely wrong.
It's best for the two of them to divorce so that he can marry Aboli quickly.
Aboli tightened her lips due to the difficulty, then suddenly felt a bit of pain.
She looked at Scott, seemingly somewhat sad, and said, "Scott, you've changed. You weren't like this before. You feel so distant now..."
Indeed, Scott used to truly love her, always pampering her.
How could he say such hurtful words now?
Scott rolled his eyes at Aboli, his dark eyes devoid of any emotion, and without paying much attention, he said, "Anyway, we're about to divorce. Do you still think we have something called a relationship? Should I still pamper you as I did before I was kicked out of this house? When I was kicked out, you didn't even speak up."
In fact, Scott didn't care much about being kicked out of the Campbell house.
What he cared about was Aboli's attitude.
From that day on, the fragile relationship built on Scott's trust in Aboli, thanks to Mr. Brian's efforts for her, began to crumble.
He would help her, but he wouldn't love her anymore.
Feeling Scott's indifference, Aboli couldn't help but frown, though there was a slight pain in her heart.
Suddenly, she pursed her lips and said, "But have you harassed my younger sister? Do you still feel you're in the right?"
Hearing that, Scott couldn't help but furrow his brows.
This was truly the most absurd incident in his life.
That's why people often say that love can make you blind.
Aboli's younger sister, Elly, had falsely accused him, and despite Scott's restraint and lack of evidence against him, Aboli, influenced by Elly's appearance and Mrs. Campbell's words, refused to listen to his explanation.
She even supported others in kicking him out of the house.
In reality, Scott knew that Aboli probably wasn't unwilling to think but rather just lazy to think.
Perhaps at that time, she desperately needed a reason to push him away.
At this moment, Aboli spoke again with a tone of sorrow, "I had to do a lot to compensate for Elly so that she didn't sue you and you wouldn't be sent to jail! Do you still feel like you're innocent?"
Scott's deep gaze looked at Aboli.
At this moment, he deeply doubted Mr. Brian's judgment in choosing Aboli as the heir.
A girl with capability but too naive and placing too much emphasis on family relationships to the point of being deceived.
Was she really suitable for the position of the heir?
No wonder, after more than a year, she still couldn't fully take control of her position as the heir, and even James had suppressed her.
The Campbell conglomerate was on the verge of collapse in the market.
Scott remained silent for a moment.
Finally, he nodded and said, "Alright, I will help you with this, just once. After everything is settled, I hope Aboli can sign the divorce papers."
Pausing for a moment, as if thinking of something, he spoke in a low voice, "I also hope that Aboli can return the engagement necklace I gave her as a pre-divorce agreement before we sign the papers."
Aboli startled for a moment and hastily replied, "I will find it."
Clearly, she didn't attach much importance to that necklace and probably didn't even remember where she had left it.
Scott looked deeply at Aboli for a moment and said nothing more. He just stood up, showing no intention to stay longer.
Everything and everyone here made him uncomfortable.
James and Mrs. Campbell achieved their goal, so they didn't pay attention to Scott leaving.
Aboli, seeing Scott decisively leaving, couldn't help but furrow her brows, her eyes fixed on his departing figure, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"Send someone to pick me up at the gate of Aboli Campbell's house right now," Scott said.
On the other end, Walter quickly responded and sent someone to pick up Scott.
It seemed like Scott wasn't in a good mood when listening to the sound.
Walter didn't want any delay that might make Scott uncomfortable.
Scott walked out of the gate, and at this point, Aboli, Mrs. Campbell, James, and even Brando had also come out.
James was preparing to return to his mansion and, at the same time, seeing Brando off.
Brando was the grandson of one of the three leading families in the city.
Pursuing Aboli having James accompany him, was a clear demonstration.
Mrs. Campbell and Aboli were naturally preparing to have lunch with Brando, as they had mentioned earlier.
Brando slowly walked towards his BMW, opened the car door, and smiled, saying, "Uncle James, if you don't mind, I can give you a ride."
Upon hearing this, James immediately smiled.
Just as the four of them were chatting happily and subtly teasing Scott with a few words, suddenly, a brand-new limited edition Maybach, which had just been released a few days ago, rolled up in front of their gate.
The group couldn't help but be astonished at this sight.
With the wealth of those present, they surely could never own a car like this!
Brando remembered vividly that his cousin, the son of his uncle, had cried to have this car, but his uncle didn't allow it.
Brando knew it wasn't because his uncle didn't want to buy it.
It was simply that, with their status, they couldn't splurge to the extent of bidding for a globally limited edition car!
Moreover, some things required not just money but also power and reputation.
Under the admiring, envious, or astonished gazes of everyone, a security guard in black descended to open the car door for Scott.
Scott didn't even glance at them and went straight into the car.
The door closed in front of the onlookers, and the car smoothly rolled away, leaving an atmosphere of strange silence behind.
At this moment, Brando's forced laughter suddenly broke the awkward atmosphere, "Ha ha ha, surely Scott secretly used his boss's car, trying to show off in front of us? It's really amusing, ha ha ha."
To be honest, his laughter sounded quite forced.
The mood of the others became even more complicated.
They sincerely hoped that Scott was just secretly using his boss's car at ProTrade Capital and not someone with a special identity within the company.
At this moment, Brando suddenly spoke again, "Come to think of it, my uncle is about to collaborate with ProTrade Capital. By then, I can ask my uncle to confirm Scott's position. Surely, Scott is just a small fry at ProTrade Capital."
Hearing this, the others suddenly woke up, quickly smiling and flattering, hoping to seize this opportunity to enhance their chances of cooperation with ProTrade Capital.
Brando enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded.
He glanced at Aboli on the side, a glint of light in his eyes, confidently holding everything in his hands.
Meanwhile, Scott sat in the back of the car, holding his phone. Walter's voice came through the phone, "Chairman, the mayor is organizing a small gathering among the most powerful figures in the city A. They really hope you can attend. Can you make it?"Scott always took his work seriously. Private gatherings among the city's most influential figures were an excellent opportunity to discuss business rather than attending glamorous parties with people with diverse opinions.Scott replied in a calm tone, "Tell them I will be there.".Brando led Mrs. Campbell, Aboli, and Elly into the A.J. hotel, which happened to be the venue for the reception organized by the mayor to welcome ProTrade Capital's representatives. Elly had come based on Mrs. Campbell's words, though Brando hadn't actually invited her. Elly discreetly cast glances at Brando, but unfortunately, he paid no attention to her. Aboli, on the other hand, remained oblivious to these details.The four of them headed towards th
Scott smirked slightly and said, "Alright, continue talking about your project."Jane couldn't figure out whether Scott had overlooked this matter or not. However, he wanted to hear about the project, and that was a good thing. He silently took a breath, preparing to talk about the company's most promising new project."Boom!"Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted Jane's words just as he was about to speak. He couldn't help but furrow his brows, and at that very moment, the sound of chaos erupted from outside, "Do you dare to hinder me? My uncle is sitting in this room; I just want to expel the unwanted presence!"Almost as soon as this voice rang out, Jane immediately stood up from his seat, and the others couldn't help but wear serious expressions. They didn't want a fool to ruin their meeting with Scott.At this point, the door had been forcefully pushed open, and the person entering was none other than Brando. Behind him was a servant with a horrified expression.Brando, upon en
Scott decisively shifted the conversation, "Give me your flight details; I'll have someone pick you up."Jennifer laughed, "That works."Before ending the call, she didn't forget to say, "I'm about to meet my dear friend after more than two months apart; I really miss you, Scott. See you tomorrow, love you, muah muah!"Scott felt a shiver run down his spine; he startled for a moment, then decisively turned off the phone. On the other side, Jennifer looked at the dark screen of her phone, laughed heartily without any embarrassment, and murmured, "Scott is quite adorable, indeed."That's right, Scott, the business genius, the president of ProTrade Capital, with his eccentric personality, was, in Jennifer's eyes, just a lovable friend.If others were to hear Jennifer's words, they might reveal an indescribable expression. On this side, as Scott hung up, the heads of the other two major families in City A approached him.Smiling, one of them said, "Scott, would you like to enjoy a cigar
Scott led the way out, and Walter quickly followed. In truth, Jennifer was quite a big nuisance. She was intelligent and excelled at her work, but she also loved to play. Moreover, she lacked restraint and truly embodied the image of a vilian. Fortunately, she didn't have any antisocial tendencies, just a penchant for pranks on others.Sometimes, she brought a lot of trouble, but Scott deliberately didn't take any measures against her. He disliked nuisances but valued Jennifer. She had remained a friend to him even when she was abroad. She and Walter had contributed a lot to ProTrade Capital before he took on the position of chairman.They were the only ones who received the greatest tolerance from Scott, a person often considered eccentric and difficult to please.Walter drove at a fast and steady pace, and they quickly arrived at the airport. Upon entering, Scott and Walter saw a crowd gathered in one place, and there were even cheering sounds coming from that area.Scott su
Jennifer was unaware of Walter's thoughts, and perhaps even if she knew, she wouldn't have cared. She glanced at Scott, sounding bored as she asked, "Seriously, why did you come back to this city?"Scott sat on the chair near the window, close to the transparent floor. From this floor, he could see the cityscape below.He paid no attention and said, "As I mentioned before, I came back here only to commemorate Brian on his anniversary and to eliminate all the Arnold family's henchmen before investing in this city. This city will serve as a conduit for me to take over the capital's economy."Everything was just beginning. Jennifer could sense the resentment emanating from Scott; he genuinely sought revenge, but it wasn't an entirely positive state, especially considering his current mental state.Jennifer couldn't help but sigh inwardly, expressing dissatisfaction. "I don't believe you at all. I heard your wife is beautiful. Are you really back to divorce her or reconcile with her?"
Elly saw that Jennifer's smile remained unchanged and couldn't help but frown, speaking in a low voice, "Let me tell you, Scott once harassed me."Upon hearing this, Jennifer couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, the disdain in her eyes impossible to conceal. Elly, noticing this, couldn't help but tighten her grip on her fists, feeling a bit uncomfortable.Jennifer looked at Elly with a cold and scornful gaze. She suddenly burst into laughter, a mocking smile flooding her face. She spoke without a hint of pity, "This girl, do you think Scott would degrade himself to harass you when he has a wife like your sister and a girl like me by his side?"With a contemplative gaze, she continued, "Your face... isn't worthy of him lowering himself to harassment."Elly widened her eyes, seemingly surprised by Jennifer's words. She clenched her teeth, anger reaching the point where she couldn't control her words.Jennifer then turned her gaze to Aboli, mocking, "You don't seem like a brainless wo
Scott looked at Jennifer's back, his eyes narrowing slightly. He wouldn't fall for Jennifer's angry act. Because he didn't lie, he no longer loved Aboli.He had loved her before, but not anymore.His feelings had dried up, leaving only respect for Brian and affection and gratitude for Jennifer and Walter, the ones who had always fought for him.He was clear that he had struggled to survive until today only for revenge, revenge against the one who had caused him pain.Jennifer seemed to sense something and hastily turned back. Indeed, she saw Scott's eyes moistening, deep, and dangerous like a bottomless pit, emitting a dangerous aura.He was sinking back into hatred.Jennifer quickly walked up and grabbed Scott's hand, her face showing no sign of any unhappiness. She slightly pouted and said, "Anyway, since you said you'd go shopping with me, I'll forgive you. But we haven't bought anything yet; let's go in here."She finished speaking and immediately pulled Scott into a nearby je
Scott paid no attention to the two people in front of him but discreetly kicked Jennifer's leg, signaling her to pay up. With their close relationship, this action seemed harmless. However, something unexpected happened. Jennifer suddenly tilted her head, smiled at him for a moment, then grimaced in pain without any warning. She screamed and started crying. She looked at Scott with eyes filled with sadness and anger. "You're always deceiving my money and feelings! You can't even buy me a necklace, making me lose face in front of so many people. Do you think you deserve me?" she exclaimed. Scott: "..." Okay, he didn't deserve her, and he didn't dare to. But could she give him a little warning before acting next time? Feeling a need to bring Jennifer back to reality, Scott tried to remind her. However, Jennifer didn't stop. "Fine, let's break up. I can't stand you anymore," she said in a sorrowful tone. Scott: "..." He remained silent, letting Jennifer continue her per
