Chapter 83 Scarlett Strikes Back, Hits Alice
On the way back, Scarlett felt much more relaxed.
Because Scarlett not only passed Vivienne's interview, but also told Vivienne about her pregnancy and that she could only return to dancing after the baby was born next year.
Whether Vivienne would accept it was her choice, but Scarlett couldn't deceive or hide it.
Scarlett also told Vivienne that even if she was rejected, she would still go to Vesperia and apply again next year.
To Scarlett's surprise, after thinking it over, Vivienne decided to give Scarlett this opportunity.
Vivienne said she had a baby when she was young, but for dance, she chose to give it up, and now she regretted it.
As she got older, she changed her mind. She no longer believed that a good female dancer had to sacrifice being a mother to maintain her condition and figure.
She believed that a woman's life experience would make a dancer shine in extraordinary ways - you have to understand life to understand dance.
Scarlett asked Vivienne to keep her pregnancy a secret, and Vivienne agreed.
Ramon drove Scarlett back to the hotel. On the way, Scarlett reported it to the police.
When they arrived, the police were already there. They took a simple statement and took away the thermos and other items from the hotel room for investigation.
After the police left, Ramon's expression was heavy.
"The surveillance is broken, and the cup has probably already been wiped clean. Scarlett, don't get your hopes up too much."
Ramon guessed the police wouldn't make any progress - the other party had obviously made complete preparations.
The time it took Scarlett to rush to the airport was enough to hide the evidence.
Scarlett had thought of this too, and because she was afraid it would affect the baby, she drank a lot of water, so blood samples wouldn't show anything either.
Plus she was fine, just fell asleep for a while, so the police wouldn't take it too seriously.
But how could Scarlett just let this go?
"Scarlett, how are you? Was it that bitch Alice?"
Just then, Sarah rushed in anxiously. After hearing about Scarlett's situation, Sarah was so angry she kicked over a chair.
"What are the police doing? Such a big hotel and the surveillance just happens to be broken - something's obviously wrong! Damn it!"
"Alice must have arranged everything beforehand before she dared to make a move." Scarlett laughed coldly.
"So what do we do, just let it go?"
Scarlett shook her head and looked at Ramon. "Ramon, can I borrow a few of your people?"
Ramon's lips curved into a pleased smile. "Of course. I was just worried you wouldn't want to trouble me even now. Just a few people?"
An hour later.
At Elysium Lounge, a small wine tasting party was being held tonight.
In the club's largest private room, the lights were dazzling, the atmosphere lavish, and a beautiful cellist in a long dress was slowly playing.
"Tonight's wine tasting is also to celebrate Alice's first successful solo concert."
Juno stood up with her wine glass, and everyone congratulated her.
Alice stood up with her glass, but hers was filled with juice.
"The hardest thing isn't finding a good wine, but finding people to share it with. I can't drink wine because of my health, but my mood tonight is the same as everyone else's."
Alice's words were directed at everyone, but her eyes looked tenderly at a tall figure in the distance.
Everyone followed her gaze to see Daniel in a black suit, looking dignified and composed, drinking and talking business with Chris and Alton.
Alton had organized tonight's gathering. Daniel hadn't wanted to come, but Alton sat in Daniel's office and refused to leave.
Daniel only saw Alice was there after he arrived. Now, feeling everyone's eyes on him, he gave Alice a cold, warning look.
Alice's smile froze, but just as she sat down, someone asked tentatively.
"Why can't Alice drink all the time? Could it be..."
The words were suggestive, and everyone's eyes turned to Alice's stomach.
Alice lowered her head and touched her belly.
Juno was about to drop some hints, but before she could speak, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open forcefully.
Several men in black knocked down the servers blocking the way, causing a commotion.
Everyone looked over in surprise to see Scarlett wearing a dark green flowing shirt, casual wide-leg pants, her hair loosely pinned up with an ebony wood clip, draped in a coffee-colored long coat, looking cool and stylish as she walked in with two rows of black-clad bodyguards clearing the way.
Behind Scarlett was Sarah.
Sarah wore all black sportswear, a high ponytail, and looked like a college student, except she wore sunglasses and had a thin cigarette hanging from her mouth, clearly there to cause trouble.
The two of them just walked in with their people, and everyone in the room was stunned.
By the time they came to their senses, Scarlett was already at the table.
"Scarlett! Who let you in here? You want to—! Let go!"
Juno stood up, but before she could finish, Sarah grabbed her arm, yanked her aside, and threw her away.
Juno screamed as she fell to the ground. It didn't hurt, but it was so humiliating her face turned green.
"You woman who acts like a man!" Juno cursed at Sarah.
"Watch where you're standing!" Sarah gave her a look.
"Scarlett, what are you..."
Alice quickly stood up, and Scarlett raised her hand.
Without a word, Scarlett slapped Alice hard across the face.
"You're crazy! Daniel! Help...!"
Alice took two solid slaps from Scarlett, her ears ringing, her cheeks immediately swelling and turning red.
She screamed in panic for help, reaching out to scratch Scarlett's face.
But Sarah wouldn't give her a chance to fight back. Sarah didn't fight by pulling hair or tearing clothes.
Sarah went straight up, locked Alice's arms, and pressed Alice down onto the table.
Wine glasses fell to the ground with loud crashes, Alice's face was pressed flat, and she let out screams.
"Fuck! Daniel, aren't you going to do something?"
Alton snapped out of it and looked at Daniel.
Daniel's face was cold. He stood there, his eyes dark, watching over there, saying nothing.
Chris also looked at Daniel. The one causing trouble was Daniel's wife Scarlett, and the one getting beaten was Alice, whom Daniel protected.
If Daniel didn't take a stance, naturally they wouldn't interfere either.
However, Daniel just swirled his wine glass and took a sip, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Daniel, you're just going to watch?"
Chris also tilted his head back and took a sip of wine.
Daniel swirled his glass. "Women fighting - why should men get involved?"
Chris laughed. He'd be crazy to believe that.
Women fighting, men not getting involved - that's only when Scarlett isn't at a disadvantage.
When someone you care about is really losing, no man can just sit there.
Chris understood perfectly, but Alton got angry.
"Daniel, this is my place. Scarlett is wrecking my venue. If Daniel won't handle it, don't blame me for not being polite."
Alton frowned and started to go over, but Chris held him back, saying.
"Scarlett isn't impulsive or spoiled. Alice must have done something. And it's not that bad, is it?
Small scene. Daniel isn't worried, so why are you so anxious? You don't like Alice, do you?"
Alton shook him off. "I like you!"
"Really? Then let's get together."
"Get lost!"
As the two were pulling at each other, Daniel, who had just said he wouldn't interfere, suddenly darkened and put down his wine glass, striding toward the table.
Chris raised an eyebrow and looked over to see Sarah, who Scarlett had brought, kick away Juno who had run over to help.
Sarah had a sweet, cute round face, but her movements were simple and brutal.
She had both of Alice's hands locked behind her back with one hand, her elbow pressing hard on Alice's back, while her other hand grabbed Alice's hair and yanked her head back.
And Scarlett was holding a bottle of water, forcing it into Alice's mouth.
"Let me go! I won't drink it! Daniel!"
Alice struggled and screamed and cried.
