\'Relax, Scarlett! All you need to do is to explain to him, and he will understand.\' Scarlett tried to keep herself calm. She began to string honest words in her mind to explain to Rex about her contract marriage with Xander.

She could hide this matter from everyone, but she couldn\'t do that to this man. She couldn\'t lie to him. Because, no matter how, if this man wants to know the truth, nothing will stop him from finding the answer.

Scarlett has known Rex for a long time. Almost half of her life, and she knew Rex\'s character. This man had purposely come here to hear a confession from her — Even though he could get the information he wanted without coming here.

After several minutes, they just stared at each other in silence. Scarlett finally decided to talk to him. But before that, she wanted to confirm something.

"Brother, do you believe me?" She looked at him sincerely.

"Why are you still asking like that? Have you forgotten how many years we have known each other?" He looked displeased with her question, but a smile still appeared at the corners of his lips.

Scarlett also smiled when she saw him much more gentle than before.

"Okay, I will tell you the truth. My marriage is not the marriage you imagined. We got married because we help each other…."

Rex raised his eyebrows, surprised to hear, "Don\'t tell me!? Do you have a contract marriage with him?"

"Hmm! You\'re Right..." Scarlett smiled, but then her smile disappeared when she met his eyes. Those eyes. He\'s angry again!

Rex couldn\'t contain his anger. This little girl! Why would she decide on something this big without a second thought? Or, at least, she had to discuss it with him first.

"Did you leave your brains in New York!? So you can\'t properly think when you come back to this country?"

Scarlett, "..."

"Why did you do that, Scarlett? Even if this marriage is only a one-year contractual, it is still a marriage. Your name will be recorded in the civil registry. That man\'s name will forever tarnish your identity, even if you divorce!"

Rex massaged his forehead. With great difficulty, he buried his rage, unable to bear the sight of her innocent face and beaming eyes staring at him.

"Y-You…" He couldn\'t say anything else, afraid that the words escaping his lips would hurt her feelings.

"Could you give me a chance to explain what really happened?" Scarlett held onto his suit sleeve. "Brother, you should hear my reason why I decided to do that..." she continued.

Rex took a deep breath. His anger slowly faded, and his gentle eyes stared at her again. He was willing to listen to her reasons, hoping a good reason would make him understand.

"I would never do that if I wasn\'t cornered. That night, my father\'s wife tricked me. She drugged me and wanted to sell me to that old man..." Scarlett recounted everything that had happened at the Beachfront Hotel a few days ago.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Thanks to the medicine you always asked me to bring… in that situation, I could escape the catastrophe. And I finally met that man when I was trying to escape."

Rex silently listened while trying to suppress his anger.

"That man offered me a marriage contract to escape from that damn woman and my father\'s evil plot. So, this marriage is not based on feelings... We married because we helped each other. He helps me, and I help him too... That\'s all." Scarlett took another deep breath. "So, please don\'t be mad at me, okay?"

Even though Rex remained silent, every word he heard was like a steel blade that scorched him from head to toe. He was so fucking mad at this moment. How dare her parents do that to her!?

This wasn\'t the first time they had hurt Scarlett. They had hurt her too many times, and it made him mad. If this girl had allowed him, he would have already flown to Island B to punish them. But her pacified soul never let him do that.

"Why didn\'t you call me? Scarlett, you know I would come to the island to help you if you called me, right?"

Rex clenched his fists. He was aware her marriage was fake, but still, he couldn\'t picture this girl living with another man under the same roof — a man she had just met.

He continues, "And you have money, why don\'t you pay their debts? Why did you decide to marry him!?" His heart felt hot like there was lava erupting inside.

"I don\'t have much time. That evil woman prepared the marriage registration form. She already got the old man\'s signature. I\'m afraid she will fake my signature and process the form. At that time, I had no other choice, and most likely, I couldn\'t think straight..."

"That damn woman looks like she can\'t wait to die!? She dares to do that?" Rex cursed Lauren Piers. He could feel like there was a beast in his heart. He wanted to kill that damn woman.

"Yeah! That\'s why when the man offered this marriage proposal, I immediately accepted it because he said he would take care of everything, including that matter..."

No words left Rex\'s lips. He was utterly speechless. Too upset with what happened to this innocent little girl.

He asked after a long moment passed, "What\'s the old man\'s name?"

"I don\'t know his last name, but I heard that woman calling him Mr. Frans. And he is probably a rich man on the island. Ah, he has five children too..." Scarlett paused. She felt strange. Why did Rex suddenly ask about that old man!?

"Brother, what are you going to do to him?"

Rex didn\'t reply right away, but he patted her head gently.

"Of course, I will punish him. How dare he have a fantasy about marrying you!? Such a bastard deserves to be punished!" Rex calmly said, but Scarlett shivered when she saw his sinister smile. She could only pity the old man\'s fate in the hand of the angry Rex.

After being honest with Rex, Scarlett was a little relieved. She could feel his cold aura fading to be replaced by the gentle smile that always made her feel at ease.

However, her relief vanished when she heard Rex\'s next question.

"The man you married, who is he!?" Rex\'s voice was calm, but Scarlett could see the devil\'s shadow in his eyes.

She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
