Chapter 238 Unpleasant Encounter (1)



Scarlett and the others started exploring the R Mall. As for Logan, he had been stealthily following them at a moderate distance to give them some privacy.

"I can\'t believe... I have this rare opportunity to shop with you!" Zara giggled as they entered one of the famous brand clothing outlets.

Zara wasn\'t the only one who felt that way because Scarlett also found it odd — she could easily troll in public places like this mall. This was indeed a rare event!

"I\'m just trying to help my husband increase sales revenue. That\'s why I\'m willing to go shopping with you..." Scarlett said casually. She started looking at the winter coat hanging in the corner after she dismissed a salesgirl who wanted to help her.

"Oh my! You are indeed suitable to be his wife. Your brain is full of profit!" Zara smiled and continued, "...young madam Riley, you really are a good wife!" She raised her two thumbs in praise of Scarlett.

Delighted by Zara\'s praise, Scarlett waved her hand and said, "Choose what you like! Today\'s bill is on me."

"Wow, really?" Zara\'s eyes lit up. Scarlett could only smile and leave Zara. She tried to find the clothes she liked.

"Zara, what\'s wrong? Why do you look so happy?" Cruz asked.

Earlier, he was sitting on the couch in the middle of the room. And he was looking through fashion magazines — he had no desire to shop — suddenly stood up and approached Zara when he heard her exclaim happily.

Zara brought her head closer to Cruz and whispered, "Boss said, she will pay the bill today!"

Immediately Cruz\'s eyes widened — happy to hear that. Then, he looked at Scarlett, who was busy in the corner.

"Zara, am I included too?" Actually, Cruz has no plans to buy anything. His wallet was empty after the last few weeks he had spent so much traveling around town with Zara. But, if her kind-hearted boss wants to pay their bill, he won\'t refuse.

"I don\'t know!! You ask her..." Zara ignored Cruz and continued to choose.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Cruz walked to Scarlett and whispered, "Boss...you said earlier you\'ll pay our bill today?"

Scarlett glanced at Cruz with a frown appearing on her forehead. "Huh!? Why do I have to do that?"

"Damn it! Zara lied to me? She says you will pay our bill?" Cruz\'s face reddened, feeling angry at Zara. How dare that woman prank him?

"I didn\'t tell her... that I will pay for you too. I just told her I will pay for her!" Scarlett said on her serious-looking face, but inside, she laughed out loud, seeing Cruz\'s expression gradually change; from happy to disappointed, he looked gloomy.

Feeling sorry to see him gloomy, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "I\'m just kidding! You can choose whatever you want. This lady will pay for you. Consider this your early Christmas present!"

"R-Really!?" The light in Cruz\'s eyes shone even brighter as he saw Scarlett. "...Thank you, boss! I\'ll go to the men\'s section!" He said and disappeared from Scarlett\'s sight.

Scarlett couldn\'t help but chuckle. She had never felt happiness like this, seeing her best friend\'s joy when she shopped with them.

\'I never imagined shopping like this would be so fun...\' She muttered to herself while looking for something for herself and Xander.

But later...

Scarlett heard two women talking behind her.

At first, she didn\'t pay attention but, after listening to what they were talking about, it made her face slowly turn red, like all her blood was rushing to her face — She felt like hitting someone!

...

"Tsk!! I can\'t believe this lowly woman has another man besides her husband!!" Her mocking voice sounded like a whisper, but Scarlett clearly heard it because she could feel it, they stood not far from her.

"What!? That woman already has a husband, and she\'s still keeping a man? Is she a sugar mommy for that man? I hated this kind of woman cheating on her husband. Gosh!" Said the bobbed-haired woman as her eyes narrowed at Scarlett.

"I know, right!? A woman like this is like trash in our society... She will never fit into our circle!" She said while pretending to try on some clothes in front of her.

"By the way, who is her husband? And, how do you know her?" The bobbed-haired woman asked her friend.

The woman motioned for the bobbed-haired woman to approach her before she said, "That woman who stole my fiancé, Xander Riley\'s wife!"

"W-H-A-T!!!" The bobbed-haired woman screamed in shock.

Just hearing the woman\'s voice, Scarlett could guess who she was.

Scarlett turned her head back to look at the woman as a cold smile slowly appeared on her lips. Her beautiful eyes stared intently at Ella Harris and the bobbed-haired woman.

Scarlett was strongly urged to slap Ella\'s head, but she resisted.

\'This woman is courting death! After what she did with Ocean Group, she still freely enjoys shopping. Did Xander forget to punish her?\' Scarlett could only wonder in her heart. She will talk to Xander later — she couldn\'t let this woman enjoy her freedom!

"Hi, Scarlett... I can\'t believe we met here." An awkward smile framed Ella Harris\' face. "...and you are so brave, Scarlett. How could you betray Brother Xander, cheat on him!?" Instantly, Ella\'s voice sounded harsh. And this somehow alerted the cautious Logan, who stood vigilantly in the corner.

Then, Logan moved quickly towards Scarlett, wanting to take care of Ella Harris, but when he was a few steps away from them, he saw Scarlett warn him to stop. Instantly and obediently, he stopped but still stood not far from them, afraid that Ella would hurt Scarlett.

"Gosh!! So this woman who stole your fiancé!? How can Xander be attracted to a woman like this?" The bobbed-haired woman said in a surprised tone. She narrowed her eyes, surveying Scarlett from head to toe.

\'What a bitch!\' The woman with bobbed hair cursed Scarlett inwardly.
