Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 160

Scarlett's POV:

I took a step forward and played the recording on my phone.

Hearing that, Rita blushed with embarrassment. "What? Didn't you say that you want to reconcile with me?" I asked, looking down on her.

Rita cleared her throat and said, "I probably mixed up the time by mistake. Anyway, now that you're here, let's talk."

She then poured me a glass of water and handed it to me. "Here, have some water. We'll bury the hatchet and become friends again, okay?"

"I don't feel like drinking water now. My stomach doesn't feel too good," I replied with a smile.

The next second, the crowd began to grumble. "You're such a narrow-minded woman! Rita has taken the initiative to make peace with you, and yet, you're being unreasonably mean to her." "Well, that's just how I am. What can you do about it?" I admitted frankly.

All of a sudden, I heard a voice dripping with sarcasm. "Scarlett is not as simple-minded as we thought her to be. She seduced Charles, got pregnant with his child, and forced him to hold a wedding ceremony. She is really..."

"Vicious?" I interrupted him, and finished his sentence.

Subconsciously, I touched the diamond ring on my finger with a smile.

"Is that your wedding ring? It looks so plain. Do you remember the ring that Charles bought for Rita? That ring was worth millions of dollars, but still he did not take it back from her even after they broke up," someone in the crowd sneered.

"Well, that is true. The diamond in Scarlett's ring is indeed smaller than the one in mine, and it lacks in luster," Rita chimed in.

"Oh, yes. This simple ring is just like its vicious owner. It looks like Charles did not put so much thoughts when he selected your ring..." a group cried out, and Rita's words were also becoming harsher and harsher as she continued to chime with them.

"What a group of bitches!" Nina muttered, standing beside me.

"What did you just say? Who is the bitch here?" a red-haired woman asked.

"The one who's talking to me right now," Nina said, showing her middle finger at the woman.

"Damn you! You're courting death!" The red-haired woman stood up angrily, but a person next to her pulled her back.

"Stop arguing. Charles might have just randomly picked that ring because he was busy with something else, something more important of course." Rita was trying to act like she was being kind.

"Even though you two have broken up, you're still wearing the ring that he gave you. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Nina asked sarcastically.

"I just wanted to wear it because whenever I look at it, I am reminded of the time that Charles and I spent together," Rita said in an aggrieved tone, lowering her head.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it anymore," I said with a smile.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd questioned, "Do you want to take the ring back, then?"

"Anything that Charles has given Rita has become our common property since I am married to him now," I said calmly.

"Do you still want to take away their common property even though you were just a mistress? But if you're still not convinced, then we can take this to the court. I am sure that Scarlett will win the case," Nina sneered.

"A mistress?" Everyone looked at Rita inquisitively.

"I was not a mistress! Even Scarlett knew that Charles wanted to marry me!" Rita explained at once.

"You tried to destroy their relationship even though you knew that Charles was a married man. What do you think that makes you, if not a mistress?" Nina hissed.

"What does this mean, Scarlett? I came here to make peace with you, but you brought your friend along to humiliate me?" Rita asked angrily. "She was only stating the fact, right?" I asked casually.

"I've recorded our conversation, and if you don't return the ring like I advised you to, then I will post the recording online and expose you as the mistress," Nina warned with a smile.

"How dare you!" Rita stomped her foot furiously.

"You leave me with no choice, then."

Just when we were about to leave, someone rushed over to us and stopped me. "Hand over the recording!"

"That's right. Hand over the recording. Don't take this too far!" Everyone was glaring at me.

Nina and I were completely unmoved as we exchanged glances.

Seeing that, everyone rushed towards us to snatch the phone from us.

The red-haired woman grabbed my arm and yanked me back. Nina stepped in front of me to protect me before she slapped the woman hard across her face.

The woman let out a scream before she took a step back, covering her cheek.

"Scarlett is pregnant, and if you still value your life, then you'd better not lay a finger on her!" Nina warned the woman, biting her lip with a scarily cold look in her eyes.

Rita forced a smile and said, "Scarlett, hand over the recording."

"And why would I do that?" I asked sarcastically.

Upon hearing that, Rita's expression darkened.

"Go get her!" The moment she gave the order, her friends gathered around me.

Nina protected me as we carefully retreated to a corner. She then grabbed the bottle on the table and smashed it on the ground. "If you dare to take another step, then I will end you all!"
