Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 399

Process______

Scarlett's POV:

During the afternoon, I sat in my office reading some documents when Elena knocked on the door and came in.

"Caroline, someone is willing to invest in our project on the west coast. Here's all the related information regarding said company."

She handed me a stack of documents.

I read through each document carefully. The company was going to invest in the project was named KD Group, and its CEO was someone called Corey Stanton.

'Corey Stanton? I've never heard this name before. Why did a stranger from a lesser known company suddenly want to invest in one of the Wilson Group's projects?'

After a moment of contemplation, I looked at Elena and said, "Can you set up an appointment with Mr. Stanton for me?"

"Actually, he's also asking to meet with you. He's trying to schedule an appointment with you at May Cafe at ten tomorrow morning," she replied.

Surprised, I raised my eyebrows. 'It seems that he's well prepared,' I thought.

I nodded in response and said, "I see. Help me set up the appointment. I'll meet with him personally."

Around seven in the evening, I finally finished all my work and got off duty.

The second I walked out of the building, I noticed a limited edition black Maybach parked by the entrance. Charles got out of the car dressed in casual clothes, followed by Janet.

Upon seeing me, Janet's eyes lit up. She waved at me, visibly excited.

It had been a year since we last saw each other, but she hadn't changed at all. She was still as childlike as ever.

It was hard to resist the urge to smile when seeing her.

But when I looked at Charles standing beside her, the smile on my face disappeared.

He had been haunting me this whole time.

Calmly, I turned around and walked towards my red Bentley.

The following second, someone blocked my way. "What? Are you seriously going to pretend like you didn't see me?" asked Charles.

I looked up at him, flashed him a smile, and distanced myself from me. "How could that be? Who would ignore the famous, infallible Mr. Charles Moore?"

"Miss Wilson, will you then do me the honor of allowing me to participate for the auction with you?" said Charles.

"Sorry, but I've already accepted someone else's invitation. If you have nothing else to say, I'll be on my way," I replied, ready to leave.

However, Charles reached out his arm to stop me. "Have you received the dress I sent you?"

Annoyed and restless, I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth. Each time that I ran into him, I'd become impatient and I'd easily get affected by him.

"Oh, that cheap dress you bought me? No offence, but it's not even worth a second look."

I pushed Charles' hand away and strode towards my car without hesitation.

"James, Jerry, and Jason are all waiting for you at home. Scarlett, are you really not coming back?" Janet shouted from behind me.

Upon hearing her say that, I stopped in my tracks. The bottled up emotions in my heart were about to burst. Because of how much I longed for my children, I couldn't walk on.

"It's time to go, Caroline." Elena got out of the car, gesturing at me.

I closed my eyes, holding back my tears.

Someday, I would get my children back. But that day was not today.

With every bit of willpower I had, I forced myself to move forward and get in the car. This time, nobody stopped me.

Once I was in my car, I was left dazed.

"Caroline, Charles' car has been following ours. What do you want us to do?" Elena asked, turning her head towards me.

In the rearview mirror, I saw the black Maybach following us like a silent, loyal knight.

Everything that happened in the past suddenly flashed through my mind like scenes out of the movie. Back then, that same black Maybach would be parked by the entrance of the TV station countless of times just to drive me back to our once warm home each night.

Those were the good times Charles and I shared.

This sudden moment of weakness made me panic.

'Scarlett, you're Caroline now. You can't be softhearted anymore!'

While closing my eyes, I urged myself to calm down.

"Ignore it. Let's just get home as soon as we can."

The Maybach followed our car all the way to my villa.

During the evening, I had a video chat with my dad. We discussed the project on the west coast. "Dad, do you know anything about the KD Group? Why did they want to invest in our project? Something's fishy about this."

There were too many factors that made me doubt them, and they'd been clouding my mind ever since I heard their proposal to invest.
