Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 152

Scarlett's POV:

After a vigorous and wild sex, we lay in bed, enjoying the intimate moment.

"Did Rita bribe the person who conducted the test?" I nestled in Charles' embrace and fiddled with his fingers.

"She did," he replied nonchalantly as he twirled my hair with his fingers.

"What a cheater!" I grunted. "But, how did you know that the laboratory staff had been bought off?" I asked.

"Well, just to be sure, I divided the water test into two parts at the beginning and sent them to different testing agents," Charles explained.

Upon hearing his explanation, my eyes lit up as I looked at him with excitement. But shortly afterwards, I felt upset. "That's a big thing! How could you keep that from me?"

After I said that, I was about to get up, but Charles held me tightly within his arms.

"I do regret that I didn't tell you about it sooner, and it caused you to overthink." Having said that, Charles glanced at my belly, seemingly annoyed. "If you dare hide something this big from me again, don't ever expect me to forgive you!"

"Charles Moore, I'll have you know that men and women are equal. If you want me to be honest with you, you have to do the same."

"Deal!"

At the moment, my heart was filled with happiness.

The following morning, I met Rita as soon as I arrived at the company.

"You're really something, Scarlett. You managed to force me out of the entertainment industry. And now, I have to settle for the second best option and be your colleague in the TV station." Rita eyed me up and down, casting hateful words at me with sarcasm.

"I'm not as capable as you are. Killing isn't even hard for you," I countered, scoffing at her.

"The stock price of the Lively Group has been plummeting for the entire week," Rita grunted, clenching her fists.

"Is that so? Well, congratulations!" I grinned at her just to infuriate her even more.

And I could tell by the look on Rita's face that it worked.

Ignoring her, I checked my phone while waiting for the elevator to arrive.

"Good morning, Scarlett." I heard Nina's voice coming from behind.

Thus, I turned around and replied, "Well, good morning to you, too, beautiful!"

"Ding!" The elevator door finally opened. I held onto Nina's arm and entered the elevator with her. Rita followed behind us.

Once we were inside, Nina looked at Rita from head to toe, cleared her throat and asked, "Have you finally gotten the test result from that glass of water?"

"Oh, yes!" I nodded at once. "The results showed that the water was indeed spiked with abortients." "Scarlett, don't spout nonsense. Show me a concrete evidence to prove your claims. Otherwise, I'm going to sue you for slander!" Rita cast me a disdainful glance.

"Go ahead. Sue me. It'll save me some energy," I said, not giving a damn about what she said.

Based on the look in Rita's eyes, I could tell that she was panicking.

"Do you really think you could fool me with that stupid lie?" Gathering her composure, Rita sneered at me.

"Well, you're a master of lies and deceit. Of course, you'd know about it!" I said, smirking at her.

"I've already told you time and time again; I didn't put drugs in the water!" Rita clenched her fists once more. But her explanation was futile.

"Ding!"

The elevator door opened again. I took Nina's arm and walked out with her, completely ignoring Rita.

"I'd say we spread the news and make a big deal of it. By then, those who actually committed a crime will be punished," Nina suggested in a loud voice.

I smiled at her and said nothing.

Rita's BOV:

After getting out of the elevator, I hurried to my office and dialed a number.
