Darnell remembered that Linley was Scarlett's classmate, the woman who snitched on him to Scarlett when he tried to drug Scarlett at their graduation party.
Linley even pestered him like a mad dog about it, but what was the end of it?
Linley could only watch helplessly as he was acquitted.
After all these years, Darnell hadn't expected Scarlett to come to him over such a thing. He said unbelievably, "You want to ruin my life because of her?"
Although he hadn't been in Juanton City for years, he still heard about Scarlett.
Not long ago, Scarlett was invited to give a speech on the anniversary of Juanton University as an outstanding alumna.
Even if he hadn't made a point of enquiring about Scarlett's achievements over the years, he knew that she had accomplished a lot in her career.
Scarlett had disappeared from the scene since she graduated, and he hadn't heard from her. He had thought that he would show up in front of her when her career wasn't going well.
Women always had to suffer a lot in society before they gave in.
He chased Scarlett for two years at university, and she ignored him the whole time.
As a man, Darnell would never accept this.
When he was in high school, his family was compensated tens of millions of dollars for land expropriation, and then his family started a company. After graduating, he started his own cosmetics company. Although his company wasn’t floated on the stock market, his achievement was better than a lot of people's.
He thought he was worth tens of millions of dollars, and when he showed up in front of Scarlett, he felt sure she would ask to be in love with him.
But it was just Darnel’s idea two years ago, and when he learned that Scarlett was Raymond’s ex-wife, he knew it was a dream he would never be able to realize.
To his surprise, when he stopped thinking about Scarlett, she came to him.
Hearing this, Scarlett knew Darnell would never regret it for the rest of his life. She said with a smile, "Yes, what can you do to me, Darnell?"
If Darnell had heard such a provocative remark, he would have sent some people to deal with her.
But things today were very different than they had used to be, and he could do nothing to Scarlett.
