Scarlett's POV:
A few days had passed since that incident, and while I was enjoying the short span of peace, something happened again.
Charles was involved in a scandal again.
According to the news reports, Lily would star in a new film, and Charles' company was the investor of the film. And people were becoming more curious about the relationship between them because of what happened before.
While I was watching the news, the doorbell rang all of a sudden.
When I opened the door, I saw Rita standing outside.
"What's up?" I asked coldly.
"I already warned you that you will also be facing Charles' ruthlessness one day. How does it feel to know that your husband is involved with another woman?" Rita said with a smug smile.
"Not bad at all," I replied with an indifferent shrug.
"Lily slept with Charles," Rita said with a smile, staring at me.
"Were you there when it happened?" I asked with a smile.
Hearing that, she handed me a photo of Lily and Charles entering a hotel. "If you don't believe me, then you should take a look at this."
I casually glanced at it and commented, "It's a great photo, very high-definition, but I am afraid Charles is not as photogenic as you'd expect him to be."
"Crazy bitch!" Rita spat in anger before she turned around and walked out of there.
Looking at her receding figure, I frowned. Although I believed my husband, I would be lying if I said that I was not concerned.
As the thought lingered in my mind, I decided to book a flight back.
Charles' POV:
That afternoon, while David, Spencer, and I were playing tennis, we bumped into Lily.
"Would you like to play tennis with me?" she asked with a smile.
"No, let's go." I tossed my racket away and walked out of there at once.
But later that evening when we went to a bar for some drinks, we ran into her again.
She was so annoying!
"Would you like to have a drink with me?" Asking me with a smile, she was about to sit down next to me.
"Fuck off!" I said irritably, looking down at the wine in my glass.
However, Lily continued to smile at me as she said awkwardly, "I'm really bored all alone. Can't you let me have one drink with you?"
"If you feel that lonely, then you should go and find yourself a gigolo. Stop pestering me," I retorted coldly before I finished my wine.
Stunned by my words, Lily left, holding her wineglass.
"Did you have sex with her or not?" David asked in a curious tone as soon as she walked away.
"What do you think?" I asked him flatly, glancing at him.
"Well, aren't you worried that Scarlett might misunderstand you?"
"A clean hand wants no washing. Besides, Scarlett is not that narrow-minded."
That evening, I had a lot to drink, so I felt quite dizzy on my way home.
I wanted to talk to my wife over a video call, but she did not answer.
I could not help but frown when my call was ignored.
I figured that she must be busy with her classes as it was daytime in her place.
But I felt a little upset when I thought that she must really consider her training program to be more important than me.
And the longer I dwelled on that thought, the more upset it made me feel. I tossed my phone on the table casually and fell asleep on the couch.
