Scarlett's POV:
"Trust me. You will get the results today." Saying that, Charles walked back to his bedroom.
He seemed to be exhausted.
I did not want to disturb him, so I went to the dining room to eat.
I sat in at the dining table in a daze even after I was done eating.
"Are you done?" I heard Charles' magnetic sexy voice coming from behind me.
I turned around and saw that he had just stepped out of the shower. His light-colored shirt was tucked in his dark gray suit pants, showing off his firm muscular body. Charles had wide shoulders and a slender waist, which made him look dashingly sexy.
"Have you found out the truth yet? Who was it that tried to kidnap James?" I asked before he sat down.
"It was Rita." Charles placed his hand on my shoulder and gently pressed it, as though he was trying to comfort me.
"Aren't you going to tell the police about it?" When I looked into his reluctant eyes, I felt as though a large pair of hands was squeezing my heart.
How could he go to the police? After all, Rita was special to him.
"Please wait for a few days."
Upon hearing that, I looked down in disappointment.
Just as I thought, Charles didn't want to hurt Rita. "You..." He ate quickly and was about to say something to me when the phone rang all of a sudden, interrupting him.
Seeing that, he frowned.
"Answer the phone first," I said, glancing at his vibrating phone.
It seemed like he really wanted to say something to me, but he was hesitant. In the end, he finally answered his phone, and after saying a few words, he took it, and walked out of the room.
After sitting at the table quietly for a while longer, I went upstairs to be with my lovely son.
The next morning, as soon as I woke up, I saw the news. It showed photos of Charles and Nate with two beautiful women by their sides.
My heart sank as I clicked on it and the photos appeared.
Charles was clinking glasses with Nate, and next to them were Lily and Rita.
Rita was the mastermind that tried to kidnap my son.
I clenched the phone in anger until my hands turned pale.
How could Charles talk and laugh with Rita and Nate after knowing that she tried to hurt our son?
How could he do such a thing?
Thinking of that, I began to treble with anger. It took a long time for me to calm down.
That whole morning, I was in a daze, unable to understand Charles' reason for doing such a thing.
I went to a cafe that afternoon to interview William.
"You are more beautiful than the last time we met." Saying that, William pulled out the chair for me like a gentleman.
"Thank you for the compliment." I smiled at him and got down to business. "Let's confirm the details of the interview. These are some questions that I have prepared for you. Please take a look at them first."
With that, I handed a document to him.
He looked at me with a helpless sigh before he took it from me and said, "Relax. We're in a cafe, not in front of cameras! It seems like you're more driven than most men I've met."
"Well... It is the only way for me to live up to people's expectations," I said with a smile.
William burst into laughter, and the room became more harmonious. Things went smoothly as we continued to discuss the details of the interview.
All of a sudden, I heard loud familiar voices coming from upstairs.
I immediately recognized that it was Nate and Rita.
They were now under Charles' protection, so why were they still quarrelling with each other? "Sorry, can you give me a second? I think I need to deal with something." I suppressed my emotions and gave William a pleasant smile.
"Of course, I'll wait for you." William was indeed graceful.
Just when I was about to go upstairs, a waitress walked to me.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. The entire second floor has already been booked by a customer." She seemed to be in a dilemma.
"It's Mr. Lively and his daughter, right? Don't worry, they invited me." With a serious expression, I lied to her.
She then stepped aside to make way for me.
The entire second floor was in chaos when I walked up. There were broken cups all over the floor, and drinks splashed everywhere, leaving almost no place for me to walk on.
Were they the ones that booked the entire floor? Thinking of that, I could not help but feel that they were just causing a scene.
Nate and Rita were in a stalemate while Lily was hiding behind him.
No one even seemed to notice that I was also there.
"Ahem!" I cleared my throat, which made them all turn to me with different expressions.
"Scarlett?" Nate seemed to be overjoyed to see me, but he stepped on a glass shard and almost tripped.
Lily held him just in time, and used the opportunity to hide herself in his arms to avoid eye contacts with me.
"What? Did you see Charles drinking with us on the news? Is that why you came here in panic? Unfortunately for you, he doesn't care about you at all," Rita sneered.
