Chapter 242
The family was stunned and looked at the direction the voice came from.
Ann had an angry look, she stood up ready to lecture Scarlet but when she saw the men following closely behind, she sat down in fear.
She had seen them on news and also researched. As for Martin, she had seen him a few times when he came to meet Scarlet.
“You are here,” Mr Jenkins asked with a smile on his face, he just glanced at Scarlet before looking at the men who were standing behind her as if they were her bodyguard.
There was a glint on his face when he thought that just one of them had a net-worth ten times than him. He had already started scheming how he would get their help, connection to become the wealthiest man in the country if they couldn’t give him money.
Scarlet smirked, she could tell what the man was thinking, not just him but her brothers and Sophia too. The man didn’t care about her at all, he only cared about the money he could get.
“I see even after being locked up here for a week hasn’t helped you to control your bad behavior, mmh?” Scarlet asked as she looked at Ann who was looking at her with jealousy.
Why is she the one with such handsome brothers? Ann thought as she looked at Scarlet’s brothers. She couldn’t get enough of just looking at them.
In the past, she had always thought that her brother was one of the handsome men around, the most handsome in the city and was always so proud. Most of the girls even chased him, and cause she was the sister, they would do anything she wanted as long she connected them with her brother.
The man, John, had always been a playboy but a very picky one. He only gave the attractive girls attention, fuck them then after getting bored with them, move to the next.
Now seeing Scarlet’s brother, Ann thought that her brother wasn’t even worth of being their servant. The worse thing was that he was utterly defeated by them in every way.
When Ann didn’t reply her, Scarlet only smiled and said, “People you open your mouth calling people country pumpkin, I suggest you look at yourself in the mirror or maybe get your birth certificates out to see where your mother had given birth from.”
Her words made their faces turn ugly. How dare she.
“Scarlet,” Mr Jenkins shouted as he stood up. He regretted that the young girl wasn’t in front of him as he would have given her a hot slap.
What he hated most was being reminded of his ugly background which had always done his best to clean it. Also, her words reminded him that he had married her mother just to get his hands on his money, well, apart from the secret mission of course.
“Yes?” Scarlet asked as she looked at the man with seriousness. “I understand that you favor your precious bastard but you better remind her of her identity. Between her and I, who is really the country pumpkin? At least one of my parents were from the city and a powerful family, right? What right does she have to compare herself to me? Is she worth it?”
Her words were as sharp as a dagger that pierced the man in his chest countless times. He lifted his hand, pointed at her with trembling hands. He also opened his mouth to speak but he was so angry that no word came from his mouth.
