Ruka Glenn was full of resentment, but she didn't dare to cross Ethan Herd.
She had strived hard to become Ethan Herd's fiancee, she had struggled so much to reach this point. She couldn't allow Scarlett Glenn to mess it all up.
Ruka Glenn nodded: "You... then you rest well, I'll come see you tomorrow."
As she left the room, a hideous hatred flashed in Ruka Glenn's eyes. Her fist clenched tightly, with her fingernails digging deep into her flesh.
"Scarlett Glenn... I won't allow you any chance to cause trouble again."
A man named John River, Ethan's assistant, appeared, and Ruka Glenn immediately put on a pleasant face, "Mr. John..."
John passed right by her, knocked on the door, and entered the room.
The expression on Ruka Glenn's face darkened as if she'd been splashed with ink.
…
John asked softly, "Young Master, do you want to interfere with Miss Scarlett's affair?"
Ethan sneered, "Interfere? Has she asked you for it?"
"No... no, she hasn't..."
"Since she's so unyielding, why should I take unnecessary actions? Or she might think I'm kind."
John lowered his head even further. His young master was clearly waiting for Miss Scarlett to beg, but would someone like Miss Scarlett ever beg others?
Ethan cast a glance over the messy bed and the deep red stain on the pristine white sheet was an eyesore.
…
When Scarlett was arrested, everyone who knew her, relatives, friends, classmates, and even neighbors, breathed a sigh of relief.
Because everyone saw Scarlett as an atrocious person, so wicked that she offended both people and gods, and everyone thought she deserved punishment.
Her beautiful face resembled that of a vixen, adorned and flaunting all day long—a clear telltale of mischief. Like mother, like daughter, Scarlett was no exception. She seduced her elder sister's boyfriend, slept with her aunt's man, and even stole her best friend's boyfriend, making her a professional mistress. So, when she was arrested, everyone spat in disgust and rejoiced: she brought it on herself!
A bunch of people said they had predicted a day like this would come for the enchantress Scarlett Glenn.
They rejoiced that heaven finally took this demon away. Everyone was delighted and celebrated together.
On the fourth day of Scarlett's detention, her father—Arnold Glenn—finally came to visit.
While they were father and daughter bound by blood, at that moment, they looked like sworn enemies.
Arnold Glenn lowered his voice and growled, "Scarlett Glenn, what do you really want?"
Scarlett spread her hands wide, "What do I want? Given my current state, what do you think I could possibly want?"
In her prison uniform, her hair loosely tied up at the back of her head with a rubber band, her face bare of makeup, even her lips were chapped.
Still, she managed to appear alluring.
There exists a kind of woman in this world who exudes grace and charm no matter if she's in beautiful clothes or wrapped in torn fabric.
She may not be beautiful, but she possesses an irresistible charm that could be addictive...
You could resist such a woman if you've never been involved with her, but once you have, it's impossible to give her up.
Arnold Glenn stared into Scarlett's eyes. She was smiling, but her eyes were piercingly cold. It didn't take long for Arnold to become fidgety. He averted his gaze and said, "You're in deep trouble, Scarlett. The evidence against you is rock-solid, there's no way out."
Scarlett sneered, "Rock-solid? Dad, are you out of your mind? I won't waste words with you, I'll give you two days to get me out. If not, you'll have to join me in here."
The evidence against her was a deliberate plot by the Glenns.
The charge of embezzlement of public funds was orchestrated by her own father.
The charge of intentional harm was a ploy by her so-called 'elder sister'.
However, it didn't matter. She had dirt on Arnold Glenn. She had ways to leave this place.
