Chapter 56
"What are you doing?"
Scarlet was stunned.
"I really love him, Miss Brown. I can't live without him. Now that you have divorced, can you please stop
pestering him? I hope that you really sever all ties with Lenny after three months.
I believe in Lenny. He is my man. I know what kind of person he is. But as a woman, I really can't trust
you completely. If you really want to destroy other people's relationship, then I... I will die with my baby
in front of you."
On the surface, Rosaline was talking to Scarlet. But in truth, Rosaline's words were intended for Lenny.
If she couldn't be his wife, then she would just commit suicide and die with the child in her womb. It was
all up to Lenny.
In this way, he would know what he should do while he lived with Scarlet for three months.
Scarlet and Lenny didn't have any interaction during the year they were married. Rosaline didn't expect
that they would see each other often after their divorce, which made her feel ill at ease.
"Rosaline."
Lenny helped her up.
"You don't have to kneel down in front of me and beg me, Miss Marshall. You treat Lenny like a piece of
treasure, but that doesn't mean that everyone else sees him the same way. Besides, if there's anyone
here who has destroyed other people's relationship, it's you. Don't forget that I was Lenny's wife before
you showed up. If you hadn't seduced him and slept with him while he was still married to me, we all
wouldn't be in this situation."
Scarlet didn't want to be called the mistress anymore.
What did Rosaline mean by saying that she wanted to destroy other people's relationship?
Rosaline was the home wrecker here, not her. Scarlet was Lenny's wife first.
Hearing this, Rosaline was rendered speechless. She was so angry that her face turned red.
Scarlet's words were irrefutable.
"Scarlet."
Lenny frowned.
"What? I was only telling the truth. Am I wrong?" It was the first time that Scarlet straightened her back
and looked at Lenny with bright, fearless eyes.
The truth was, she was very nervous. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.
If she didn't fight back now, Rosaline would think that she was a pushover.
Rosaline was weak and innocent when she was alone with Lenny, but she was aggressive and hostile
toward Scarlet.
Did Lenny know that she was a two-faced woman?
"I'm sorry, Miss Brown. I didn't mean to hurt you. In fact, when Lenny brought me home, I also thought
of you. But you two didn't love each other at all. You had been separated for one year and had no
feelings for each other..."
"If I were you, I would stop playing the victim card right now, Miss Marshall. No matter your thoughts,
facts are still facts. We might have been apart while we were married, but it didn't change the fact that I
was Lenny's wife and he was my husband. If you really were a respectful, considerate woman, you
wouldn't have messed with a married man. Do you need me to show you the papers that once made
me Lenny's legal wife?"
"Enough, Scarlet! Stop it right now!" Lenny interrupted Scarlet before she could go on. He was really
angry this time.
Scarlet bit her lip as a lump lodged itself in her throat. She felt extremely aggrieved and bitter, but she
still endured it stubbornly. Her eyes were red, but there were no tears. She just looked at Lenny with
disdain.
"Come on, Rosaline. Let's go."
Then, Lenny wrapped his arm around Rosaline's shoulder and led her out of the villa.
He didn't come home that night.
Scarlet stayed in one of the villa's guest bedrooms, plagued with mixed feelings.
She didn't know why, but every time she closed her eyes, she thought about what happened between
her and Lenny that night.
And she couldn't help wondering... Were Lenny and Rosaline making love now?
Scarlet tossed and turned in bed all night, barely getting any sleep. The next day, she went to school
with dark circles under her eyes.
"Are you and Lenny living together again?" Yasmin asked, frowning.
"Yes. It's so annoying."
"What are you afraid of? You don't love him anyway."
"I..."
Scarlet felt guilty.
"Are you hiding something from me, Scarlet? You've been acting weird since I came back."
"No!" NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"Look into my eyes."
"Stop it, Yasmin."
Scarlet didn't dare to look into Yasmin's eyes and kept dodging, which made Yasmin more suspicious.
"Scarlet, do you or do you not really take me as your friend?" Yasmin asked with a serious expression
on her face, as if she would sever all ties with Scarlet if she still refused to tell her the truth.
Scarlet swallowed and lowered her head.
