Chapter 61
Upon seeing that the woman lying on the bed was Scarlett, Lance was taken aback
As soon as James fell, she spun around and rushed to cling to Dev. Wasn't her haste a bit too much?
He had changed his opinion of her after Scarlett refused to ask for an umbrella, now feeling that she was very calculating
After giving it some thought, he sent the photo to his other brother.
How could Scarlett kiss up to Dey, who was hus sister's narriage partner?
He felt it inappropriate to teach the woman his second brother had raised, so he left it to his second brother to handle. Upon returning to the villa. Sebastian's expression sank upon seeing the photo. He quickly responded with a message: "When did you shoot it?"
Lance replied, "I took it just now. It goes trendy already"
Sebastian remained silent, his hand trembling as it held the phone,
Scarlett was unaware that the nepos were circulating rumors about her and Dev.
She had intended to rest for a little bit and then depart, yet she ended up dozing off without being aware of it. There was no indication whatsoever.
Dev pushed her, finding she was only asleep, and only then did he let out a sigh of relief, having thought she was
unconscious.
Frowning, he looked at her for a moment before covering her with a blanket and turning off the lights. Then, he left. After departing the presidential suite, he asked the assistant at the door with a frosty expression, "Is there truly no history between her and me
"Yes, didn't Director Gatsby bring you to the orphanage a few years back to confirm it?"
After being brought back to the Gatsby family from the hospital, Scarlett came to him.
He had just lost his memory and was completely unfamiliar with everything, feeling apprehensive about engaging with the
past.
No matter how much he tried, Scarlett would not be deterred and she continued to come and bother him daily, leaving him unable to get rid of her.
She went back and forth explaining to him why she wanted to sell herself, and nothing else.
It seemed so true, as if everything was done to save him.
He had no choice but to allow the Gatsby family to escort him back to the orphanage for investigation.
The dean said that since she was a child, Scarlett had been striving to climb up the social ladder. Upon seeing that he had become the young master of the Gatsby family, she seized the opportunity of his memory loss and attempted to deceive him into believing that she was his girlfriend.
He also stated that they had never met before, so where did the fabricated past come from? Scarlett had simply lied.
He went to other people in the yard to investigate clearly, verifying what the dean had said, except for Susan who insisted he was a heartless man.
Despite being young. Susan and Scarlett had a strong relationship, making it possible for them to collaborate in deceiving
him
Dev's doubts gradually faded away, yet his worries persisted.
He glanced back at Scarlett, who was slumbering peacefully on the bed, and scowled once more. "I can't help but think something must have happened between us. Otherwise, after all these years, I wouldn't feel so uneasy when I heard she had a heart condition..."
Phylo glanced at him and frowned. "Mr. Gatsby, I reckon she did this to get your attention again. Ain't she tried to fake a heart attack in front of you before? That didn't work out then, but now she's got another chance to get close to you. It's not out of the question that she'd try the same stunt again."
After Phylo finished speaking, he cautioned, "Mr. Gatsby, you ought to be wary. Women nowadays are very shrewd"
Five years ago, Scarlett had pretended to have a heart attack in front of Dev in order to jog his memory, and Phylo's words seemed more reliable than Yan's suspicions. How could she have prevented him from checking up on her? Unless she had feigned illness.
Dev felt a headache when he thought of the matter concerning Scarlett, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.
He was not willing to contemplate the cause of his headache. He gestured to Phylo and uttered, "Fetch me a room." Phylo nodded swiftly and requested the manager to set up another room.
