Joseph had been staying in the villa these few days. So, when he saw the luggage in my hand, he immediately called Ashton.
Then, he halted me in my tracks and gave me a perplexed look. “Mrs. Fuller, are you going somewhere? Why don’t I give you a ride?”
I shook my head. Smiling faintly, I said, “It’s alright. I’ve already called a cab. It’ll arrive soon.”
Indeed, the car arrived soon after.
Sally probably never expected me to leave so hastily. So, when she saw the car, she panicked and turned pale. Tugging on my hand, she hurriedly said, “Scarlett, no. You don’t need to leave so soon. I…”
“What Ms. Fuller said was true. I should have known better.” I cut her off. With that, I got into the cab.
Joseph was puzzled, but he could not stop me by force. In the end, he hopped into his car and followed me.
Previously, John had given me a house in K City. I thought I would never use it, so I had never gone there. Now that I was in need of a place to stay, I hailed a cab and headed there.
The house was located some distance away from the city center. The place was spacious with a stylish interior design. However, because it had been unoccupied for quite a number of years, it inevitably had a musty smell.
I did not expect the first person to visit my new place would be Marcus. When I saw him, my expression immediately turned cold.
I looked at him in disdain and spoke in an irritated tone. “Why are you here?”
He seemed to be happy to see me here. Glancing at the room behind me, he nodded approvingly. “Do you feel comfortable living here?”
I pursed my lips and ignored his question. “What do you want?”
He was completely unaffected by my unfriendliness. He grinned and asked, “May I come in?”
