Awakened Housewife Ignore Betrayer's Begs (Scarlett) novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197 A Dangerous Confrontation

Finished

Before the words had fully left her mouth, Elias’ hand shot out and clamped around Scarlett’s throat.

Rage contorted his face. His expression turned icy, his voice dropping to a low, threatening growl. “Take me to her, or I’ll kill you.”

Scarlett clawed at his hand, struggling to break free. When she couldn’t and felt her oxygen dwindling, she quickly reached for the car horn.

In the quiet of the night, even with the light green, the sound of a stationary car blaring its horn failed to draw any attention.

Seeing Scarlett’s refusal to yield, Elias tightened his grip. “Are you taking me or not?” he roared.

Scarlett’s face turned a deep shade of red, veins bulging at her temples. The blood rush made her feel as if her eyes were about to burst.

The sensation of impending death washed over her, yet even then, she refused to reveal Claire’s whereabouts.

Just seconds before she lost consciousness, she heard the car door being wrenched open.

Someone had arrived, pulled Elias off her, and a scuffle broke out.

A few minutes later, as her awareness gradually returned, she heard an angry shout cut through the night. “Get lost!”

She recognized that voice-it was Damian’s.

Elias must have gotten the worst end of the fight. Before fleeing, he shouted defiantly, “Scarlett, just you

wait!”

Damian’s voice carried an innate authority. He let out a low, dangerous growl. “Lay a finger on my woman again, I dare you.”

Elias’ voice didn’t return-only the fading roar of a car engine remained.

Scarlett leaned back in her seat, turning her head to see Damian standing by the passenger side door. He held his right hand behind his back, his eyes fixed intently on her.

Perhaps still upset with her, Damian remained silent.

Seeing his silence, Scarlett finally pressed her lips together and offered a faint smile. “Thank you.”

The palm of Damian’s hidden hand was covered in blood. He was afraid Scarlett would see it, afraid it might trigger bad memories for her.

But seeing her strained smile only irritated him further. “Scarlett, if you really want to thank me, just fulfill your promise sooner rather than later.”

Scarlett looked utterly confused, her brow furrowing slightly. “What promise?”

This made Damian even angrier. He turned away with a frustrated scoff. “Figure it out yourself!”

With that, he left without hesitation and got into his own car.

Through her rearview mirror, Scarlett noticed a woman sitting in the passenger seat of Damian’s car. She was stunningly beautiful, with long, cascading curls over her shoulders and a purple dress that hugged her slender waist. In both looks and aura, she was a rare beauty.

As Damian got into the car, the woman took his hand, their intimacy evident.

As his car drove past, Scarlett could see Damian’s hand resting on the woman’s thigh.

Only after the car had completely disappeared did Scarlett let out a faint, wry smile.

From the very beginning, no matter what Damian said or did, she knew perfectly well that his interest in her was either a fleeting whim or because he saw some advantage.

Him calling her “baby”, preparing birthday gifts for her-it was all just part of his game. Damian had a well-known reputation as a playboy; how could he ever settle for just one woman?

Pulling herself together, Scarlett locked her car doors and drove straight to Theron Manor without stopping.

Once home, she immediately called Claire.

“Claire, has Elias been bothering you lately?”

Claire replied, “Yes, he has. He even threatened suicide to get me to see him. Not just that—he wrote an electronic suicide note.”

Scarlett grew more worried hearing this and recounted the night’s events to Claire.

Claire was horrified. “He actually attacked you? Scarlett, are you okay?”

Assuring her she was fine, Scarlett suggested, “Why don’t you move in with me for a while?” Given Elias’ temperament, there was no telling what he might do next.

After a moment’s thought, Claire declined. “Scarlett, I’m doing fine like this. Living alone, making my videos occasionally… life feels quite fulfilling now.”

Claire was a food blogger. She only needed to film herself cooking at home, edit the videos, and upload them online to earn a living. She cherished her freedom, which had been constrained by Elias for eight long years.

Scarlett didn’t push, simply urging Claire to be careful.

As their conversation was winding down, Claire suddenly said, “There’s an event tomorrow. Will you come with me?”

Worried for her friend’s safety, Scarlett agreed. “Okay.”

“See you tomorrow then,” Claire said.

The next day, Scarlett got off work early.

Claire picked her up and took her to get styled. Pressed for time, the makeup artist went for a relatively simple look.

Claire picked out a white, strapless, body-hugging gown for Scarlett. The dress was long, covering her legs, but the top half was revealing in just the right way.

Even after giving birth, Scarlett’s figure was still excellent-curvaceous in all the right places, with a waist so slim it looked like one could circle it with their hands.
