Farewell To My Endless Love

Chapter 155 I Will Destroy Everything You Love

Scarlett's POV:

After I got off work, I had dinner with Nina. Then, Charles called me.

"I have an important meeting tonight. Make sure not to go to the bar alone, you hear me? Otherwise, I'm going to be worried about you. Once I'm done with work, I'll go with you."

"Don't worry about it. I can handle Rita's devious little trickeries," I said. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"I'll ask Spencer to look after you," said Charles.

"Relax, I can protect myself. But I did notice this one guy following me around," I replied, sounding curious.

"Are you okay?" Charles asked worriedly.

"I am. He was just staring at me in the distance, but I could sense that he's up to no good." What happened this morning flashed through my mind again.

"Alright. I'll have someone look into it. Don't go out alone for the next few days. I'll pick you up after work," Charles reminded.

"Got it," I answered.

Afterwards, Charles gave me a few more reminders before hanging up.

Rita's POV:

I arrived at the place that Scarlett and I had agreed upon. I waited for nearly an hour, but she still hadn't shown up.

Meanwhile, sitting on the sofa across me was Liam. "If something happens to Scarlett, you're likely to lose everything," he said.

I sneered, picked up the glass on the table and swiveled it around. "Just watch the show, Liam. You'll enjoy it."

"I hope so,"

Liam remarked before gulping down his glass of wine.

Then, I noticed Spencer and smiled at him. "Spencer! Come over here and have a drink with me."

Upon hearing my voice, he said something to the people around him, and then walked towards me. Spencer frowned and took the glass in my hand. "You shouldn't drink too much. Otherwise, you might wreck my place because of inebriation."

I pointed at the bottles of wine on the table and suggested, "If you drink all of them, I promise not to drink anymore."

Spencer stared at me, seemingly in thought. And sure enough, he gulped down all the liquor on the table.

"I'll ask someone to escort you home." Having said that, Spencer glanced at Liam as the latter sat beside me.

"Don't bother. I'm waiting for Scarlett. I'll leave after my chat with her," I said, politely refusing his kindness.

Spencer stared at me in silence for a time before he stood up and sighed. Before he left, he turned around and said, "Don't cause any trouble."

With that, he shook his head, supported himself up using the wall, and staggered away.

"What was in that wine?" Liam asked curiously.

"Nothing you should worry about. I just wanted to get him out of the way," I answered.

"Damn! You're a bold woman, aren't you? You even drugged Spencer for this plan." Liam chuckled.

At this moment, I heard a noise coming from outside.

Liam stood up and walked to the door, intending to see what was happening.

However, I stopped him. "Don't move, Liam. Just sit down and enjoy the show."

Confused, Liam looked at me, but then he sat back and obliged.

Soon, the noise outside had stopped. I stood up and went out. There was a woman lying in a pool of blood. Based on her figure, I believed it to be Scarlett. My heart was filled with excitement at the thought of seeing her lifeless husk.

'Is she finally dead!

Is this man-stealer finally dead for real?' I wondered.

I elbowed my way through the crowd and rushed to the woman lying motionless on the ground. Pretending to be worried, I called out Scarlett's name.

"Miss, is she your friend?" asked the medical staff.

When I took a closer look, I was disappointed to know that it wasn't Scarlett.

"No," I answered coldly.

Thus, I got up and looked around. It was then that I noticed Scarlett standing amidst the crowd and greeting me with a smile.

"Are you looking for me, Rita?" she asked.

Seeing Scarlett's annoying smile quickly got on my nerves. I felt a nagging feeling at the back of my head and it gave me a headache.

'This... is impossible! This can't be happening!' I cursed inwardly. 'I arranged so many people to ambush her here just to teach this damn woman a lesson! Why on earth is she still standing in front of me, safe and sound? Argh! Fuck! Those fucking pathetic imbeciles! They can't even deal with a woman!'

"When did you get here?" I asked, casting her a cold glance.

"Probably before you got here. Thanks to you, I watched something interesting. I'm curious. You seem concerned about that girl who just got beaten up," Scarlett remarked with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to enjoy watching stuff like that," I answered indirectly.

There were police cars arriving not far away. I couldn't let anyone know that I had arranged those mercenaries, so I quickly turned around and went back into the bar.

Scarlett followed me in and stood in front of me. "Give me my mother's earring."

"What earring? Oh, I remember! Sorry, Scarlett, It's gone." I flashed her a grin.

Upon seeing how pale Scarlett's face was, I was over the moon.

"By the way, did I ever tell you that I found your mother's earring in my father's study? Isn't that strange? Do you think they were hiding a secret? Is it possible that we're actually half-sister?" I

broke into a gaudy laughter.

Scarlett picked up the glass of wine on the table and splashed it onto my face. "You'd better watch your mouth, you piece of shit!"

I couldn't avoid it in time, so the wine was splashed all over my face.

'This bitch! How dare she splash wine on me?' I exclaimed inwardly.

I wanted to fight back, but I knew it wasn't the right time.

Thus, I just wiped away the liquid on my face and cast her a glare.

I could tell that Scarlett was furious. And seeing her this angry made me a little happy.

"What? Why did you get angry so easily? Did I guess it right? Your mother is a whore! And you deserve to be a whore's daughter. Your entire family revels in seducing men everywhere!"

The more I spoke, the more delight I felt. All of a sudden, I felt a burning sensation on my cheek. Scarlett actually slapped me across the face!

"Hand over the earring. God damn it!" Scarlett growled at me.

"I already threw it away. And I'll have you know that I'm going to destroy everything you want and love!"

I picked up a piece of tissue on the table and used it to wipe my face. As I stared at Scarlett's furious face distorted by anger, I was even happier.

"You're the one who hired someone to kill me, weren't you? That car accident?" Scarlett asked tentatively.

I raised an eyebrow at her and didn't answer the question.

"Did you also hire someone to sneak into my apartment and have me killed?" she asked again. Despite her insistence, I still didn't answer.

"So, you asked me out tonight just to kill me, didn't you? Those people who were lurking out there were supposed to kill me, but they mistook that girl for me. If I hadn't arrived earlier than you did, I would've been sent to the hospital on an ambulance right now!"

'Scarlett is telling the truth. But even if she knows about the truth, what can she even do to me?'

"Alas, you have the devil's luck. Those useless pricks can't even handle one simple task. I wasted so much money on those imbeciles! But, since you're already here, I'm not going to let you walk away safely!"

Step by step, I approached Scarlett. She was pregnant right now, so all I had to do was to shove her hard enough, and it would make her lose that baby. And once that stupid baby was gone, Charles would never be with her again!

Suddenly, Scarlett grabbed something from her pocket. The next moment, I saw her holding a knife to my throat.

The edge of the knife was so close to my skin that I could feel the coldness of its steel, and it rendered me frozen in fear.

"Hand over the God damn earring or I'm going to cut your neck open with this knife!" From the sound of Scarlett's voice, I could tell that she wasn't joking. Fear quickly consumed me.

"Liam, I..." I looked to Liam, pleading for help in a trembling voice.

However, he just looked at Scarlett with agitation. And out of the blue, the door opened up at that moment.
