Chapter 125 Caught Alice Cheating
Ramon's eyes beneath his glasses turned cold.
"Scarlett didn't even know about the engagement between us before. After you two registered your divorce, when she and I were about to leave for Astoria, she found out about it. Mr. Wilson, dare you say it wasn't intentional?"
Daniel was absolutely intentional. He said coldly, "I haven't settled the score with you for what happened four years ago. You'd better stay away from her now!"
The gentle expression on Ramon's face had long disappeared. "The Meza family proposed the engagement with her openly and honestly. What's wrong with that? Four years ago, Scarlett wasn't your property."
"Openly and honestly? That sounds nice! You think I don't know about her situation in the Wilson family? My grandmother already refused, but you went to my parents instead. How is that different from forcing a marriage?"
In the Wilson family, only Magnolia and Daniel would protect Scarlett. The Meza family took advantage of Daniel's absence from Shadow City—after being refused by Magnolia, they approached Andrew and Blair.
How could the Meza family not know that Andrew and Blair would definitely use Scarlett to trade for benefits when faced with interests?
Ramon's handsome face turned pale, turning his head to avoid Daniel's sharp, blade-like gaze.
But Daniel still didn't let him off. A mocking smile crossed Daniel's lips.
"Scarlett wasn't even eighteen yet. You wanted her to go abroad to take care of a disabled person, and you called it discussing marriage. The Meza family really had some nerve. Your body was disabled, so just because her status wasn't as noble as yours, she deserved to sacrifice her own happiness for you?"
Ramon's fists suddenly clenched. How could he not know that what his mother Cecilia did back then was wrong? If not for that, he wouldn't have hidden his identity for these two years.
He felt guilty and was also afraid that Scarlett would resent him.
Daniel's narrow eyes narrowed slightly as he continued coldly, "But she's not some girl of low status. She's Scarlett of the Wilson family! She's Daniel's person. If the Meza family touched her, they had to bear the consequences!"
Never mind that Ramon was disabled then—even if he had been perfectly fine, the Meza family couldn't just take Scarlett away whenever they wanted.
Ramon also narrowed his eyes, picking up on something else in Daniel's words.
"So Mr. Wilson was the one behind the Meza family's withdrawal from the Vesperia market."
Three years ago, the Meza family was expanding into Vesperia's automotive market. It was a good opportunity, and everything was going smoothly at first, but then suddenly they hit obstacles everywhere.
The Meza family made two mistakes, then missed the best timing. Last year they completely withdrew from the Vesperia market, losing quite a bit of money.
Daniel didn't deny it. Ramon nodded, but said, "The Meza family has already paid the price, and I just got Scarlett's forgiveness. Scarlett is twenty-two now. She has the right to choose who she wants to be with in the future. I hope Mr. Wilson will choose to respect that and let go when the time comes."
Ramon nodded slightly and walked past Daniel.
Hearing his words, Daniel's handsome face darkened, his brow furrowing.
What did Ramon mean earlier when he told him to care about Scarlett's physical condition?
Damn it, Ramon changed the subject so he didn't get to ask clearly.
Daniel headed toward the garden to look for her.
Meanwhile, after parting with Ramon, Scarlett was wandering in the garden to clear her head.
She walked to a corner and heard a familiar woman's voice coming from behind a hedge nearby.
"Let go! Stop it, what if someone sees us!"
"Doesn't it feel good? If someone sees, let them see. I'll go to your house to discuss our marriage, and I'll fuck you openly every day until you can't get out of bed. Wouldn't that make you feel even better, you little slut?"
"Stop it! Get away, I need to go for my prenatal checkup. Take your hand out! Be gentle."
Scarlett was shocked!
She couldn't be wrong—that was Alice's voice.
The other man's voice was young, and she found it somewhat familiar too. He should be someone she knew.
But Scarlett couldn't remember who it was at the moment.
But whoever this man was, Alice was pregnant, and they were having an affair here?
She was cheating? And that man clearly knew Alice was pregnant too.
Didn't Alice almost have a miscarriage before? How could she still do such risky things?
Scarlett's worldview was shattered. She took out her phone, put it on silent, and carefully crouched down, moving toward the hedge.
"You're so annoying. Kissing and touching is enough. Do you really want to have sex with me now? I'm still pregnant, you bastard!"
"It's because you're pregnant that your body is so sensitive. Look how wet your pussy is, and you're still pretending with me? You're so unsatisfied. Daniel hasn't touched your body, has he?"
"Shut up!"
Alice's gasps and sounds of resistance came through. Scarlett's scalp tingled listening to it.
The two behind the hedge clearly weren't done yet and were still entangled.
"Why can't I mention him? The child in your belly isn't Daniel's anyway. Are you really fantasizing that he'll marry you? Dream on. Even if you drive Scarlett away, you still won't become the future mistress of the Wilson family. You might as well be with me—I love you more than he does."
Scarlett gripped her phone tightly, her heart shaking with shock.
So the child in Alice's belly really wasn't Daniel's!
But why did Daniel still care so much about Alice's child?
Could there be a misunderstanding? Could Alice have deceived Daniel, making him think the child was his?
Thinking of Alice's scheming nature and how easily lies came to her, Scarlett thought it was quite possible.
But Scarlett felt something wasn't right. Daniel didn't seem that easy to fool.
And Daniel had told Blair before that Alice's child wasn't his.
Scarlett's mind was in chaos.
Alice's mocking voice rang out.
"Be with you? Can you inject over a billion dollars into the Brown family to help us through this crisis? After my child is born, would you really not mind? Even if you didn't mind, your family would. Besides, if the Brown family goes bankrupt, what would I be worth? I'd only be your mistress then. I don't believe in the love that comes out of you men's mouths! I only believe in things I can hold in my hands."
"You really are a little slut, so wild, but I like your personality. Then let's grab the happiness we have now. Baby, don't move, my dick wants to rub against you some more..."
Scarlett felt like throwing up. Just as she thought she had enough and wanted to pull back her outstretched hand, a three or four-year-old child emerged from the bushes nearby, and they stared at each other wide-eyed.
Scarlett quickly put a finger to her lips, signaling the child to be quiet.
The child grinned and nodded vigorously. Scarlett had just breathed a sigh of relief when the child suddenly shouted loudly.
"Grandma, I'm going to play hide and seek with this pretty lady!"
Scarlett fell silent.
"Who's there? Come out!"
The two behind the hedge had clearly been startled. Scarlett was so scared she pulled back her hand, scrambled to her feet, and ran away clutching her phone.
She heard hurried footsteps behind her—clearly the person with Alice had discovered her and was chasing after her around the hedge.
Scarlett was somewhat panicked and running blindly. She didn't dare look back, just kept her head down watching the path beneath her feet as she ran faster and faster.
Until she crashed into someone's body.
She instinctively tried to turn and run to the side, but the person raised their hand and gripped her waist tightly.
The paths here were very winding. Scarlett thought she must have been caught up to.
Her face went pale, and she opened her mouth to shout for help, but the person seemed to predict her reaction and raised their hand to cover her mouth.
Without hesitation, Scarlett bit down hard.
