Scott couldn’t understand what was going through Lisa’s mind, why she kept sending him texts as if she were trying to terrorize him.In her latest message, Lisa told Scott there was no point in him going to Ravenshire because, as she had said before, in a few days Scott would be forced to leave Mildenbrough for good."What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?" asked Luisa, noticing the change in Scott’s expression."Ah, it’s nothing," Scott said quickly, putting his phone on airplane mode and shoving it back into his pocket.Luisa gave him an irritated look, likely upset that Scott had lied again by saying “it’s nothing,” but she soon leaned her head back against the seat and closed her eyes.Scott tried to do the same, leaning his head back, but he didn’t close his eyes. Instead, he stared at the luggage compartment above, wondering what his ex-fiancée was planning.…At Grandier Corp, inside Lisa’s office."What?! Scott escaped your brother’s trap?" Lisa demanded from Denis.[Yeah,
In the city hall, in the mayor's aides' office...Denis had just opened his laptop when his phone vibrated. He checked it. There was an incoming chat message from Lisa.He opened the message. Denis immediately made a sour face, finding the chat message so long.In essence, in her message, Lisa complained at length about how her days had become so bad in the last few days, and it was all because of that bastard Scott.Lisa also explained the latest situation at her family's company, Grandier Corp., where she was now threatened with losing her position. And not only that, her family who worked there could also be affected.Lisa ended her long message by asking Denis to really punish Scott as she had planned. She also asked Denis to help her gain privileged access to Dominion Group later.After reading it, Denis sighed. Lisa was a real demanding person. No wonder she was always changing boyfriends in college; no rich or popular guy on campus lasted long in a romantic relationship with he
Scott's hands continued to move down until they finally touched Luisa's boobs. Reflexively, Luisa sighed. It made Scott's desire increase drastically. Scott finally squeezed his wife's boobs while taking a deep breath.This time Luisa didn't just sigh, but screamed. But it wasn't a positive response. Suddenly Luisa removed Scott's hands from her boobs, then stood up and turned around, moving slightly away from Scott."What's wrong?" Scott asked, surprised and anxious.Luisa looked at Scott intensely. Her chest rose and fell with her rough breathing.Then she looked down, slightly to the right. There was a kind of guilt visible on her face.Scott was even more worried about Luisa. Luisa's reaction reminded him of the night of their wedding, when Scott and Luisa were about to sleep together—in the same room—for the first time."You okay?" Scott asked."I'm so sorry, Scott," Luisa replied, shaking her head. "I don't think I'm ready for this."Scott sighed. His guess was right. His wife s
Everyone in the bar turned their gaze to Scott, including the bearded man and the woman who was the victim of his slap."Who the fuck are you? Did you even know what you just did to me?!" the bearded man glared at Scott."Yeah, I did. I threw an empty glass at someone who deserved it," Scott said, smirking while raising his chin."You fucking bastard! You're going to regret this stupidity, pal!""Will I? I'm not sure about that."Scott's facial expression and tone clearly showed that he was belittling the bearded man. Of course, this made the bearded man unhappy. He lowered his hand holding his head and found the blood there. He looked back at Scott and grinned."Come here, you son of a bitch! Let's duel like men!" the bearded man challenged."Okay," Scott replied, his hands still in his pants pockets.The bearded man took off his sleeveless vest. Now his large body with a broad, hard chest was visible under his black tank top.The people near the door started to move away. They knew
Scott knew he was in trouble. He had to get away from Evelyn, and fast.“You don’t owe me anything. I just did what I thought I had to do. That’s it,” Scott said, letting go of Evelyn’s hand.Evelyn looked at him, confused, but Scott didn’t care. He brushed past her, leaving her there. Meanwhile, Luisa was making her way back to their table, glancing occasionally in his direction.Evelyn watched Scott’s retreat with a puzzled expression, unable to understand why he had said that. But something else bothered her more: Scott had walked away, refusing her offer to treat him to a drink and stay with her for a while.She felt slighted, especially since she’d put effort into her appearance to work at that bar—to chat with customers, share drinks, and earn good tips.Scott must’ve had a pretty strong reason to turn down an offer like that.Right now, though, Scott wasn’t thinking about Evelyn’s reaction at all. His focus was on Luisa. He quickened his pace, ignoring a few patrons who tried t
Scott was shocked by what the blue-haired man did. He threw Evelyn like he was throwing a plastic bag into a river. Now Evelyn was flying in front of Scott, towards him. He really wanted to catch Evelyn, but he was still holding Luisa.So what Scott did was put his wife's weight on one hand, while he extended the other; he caught Evelyn with his outstretched hand.Luckily, he managed to catch Evelyn, although he had to bend over a bit and that made Luisa's legs touch the sidewalk. At least he didn't have to sacrifice one of them. He also breathed a sigh of relief.But it was too early to be truly relieved. Because, taking advantage of the situation where both of Scott's hands were holding Luisa and Evelyn, the blue-haired man attacked him, launching a straight kick to his chest.Scott didn't have time to dodge. It was also impossible for him to block the attack because both of his hands were unusable.The hard kick hit his chest. However, luckily, he managed to raise his inner strengt
The Blue Devil was stunned by the black flames that engulfed Scott's body. He'd never seen anything like it, and for some reason, he felt his own death was imminent.As his body was pulled down by gravity, Scott braced himself for a strike. The Blue Devil knew he wouldn't have time to dodge. Scott's deadly attack would hit him, inflicting a deep, grievous wound.Pow!Boom!Two blows landed in a split second. The Blue Devil shot back up, higher and higher, then plummeted down, crashing onto the pavement.The impact was so hard, a small crack appeared in the concrete. He vomited blood, staining his pristine white face.At that moment, a taxi emerged from the right side of the road. Scott saw it and immediately stopped it.The taxi pulled over. Scott approached the front door, and the window rolled down."Can you wait a minute? I need you to take me to the Royal Starlight Hotel," Scott said, looking at the taxi driver.The driver nodded, but he looked confused. He glanced at the sidewalk
Evelyn looked at Scott with a questioning gaze."Your wife? The woman with you at the bar, she's your wife?" she asked.Scott nodded. Without hesitation, he moved closer to Evelyn and took her hand."Hurry up. It's a woman thing that I don't really understand," Scott said, pulling Evelyn towards the door."Wait, wait!" Evelyn protested, trying to pull her hand away, but to no avail.Finally, they both left the room. Evelyn didn't have time to grab her phone from the nightstand. She didn't even have time to put on her high heels.Shortly after, they arrived at the hotel room occupied by Scott and Luisa. Using his key card, Scott opened the door and ushered Evelyn inside. Upon entering the room, Evelyn saw a woman lying on her back on a wide, large bed. From her facial expression, she seemed to be in pain.'So, she is Scott's wife?' Evelyn said to herself.Scott closed the door and locked it. He quickly approached the bed and checked his wife's temperature by placing his hand on her for
