Farewell To My Endless Love

Chapter 176 In Danger

Charles' POV:

I was in a foul mood as I watched Scarlett disappear from my sight, so I sullenly drove to Spencer's bar.

I drank one glass of wine after another, but I could not stop feeling so upset. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"Why are you and Nate so close these days?" Spencer asked, looking at me in confusion.

Glancing at him, I replied in a low voice, "It's all his fault that Scarlett divorced me."

"Really? How?" Spencer seemed to be really stunned.

Without saying anything, I just continued drinking.

"You've been drinking a lot lately. You should take care of yourself." With that, he took away my glass.

The room suddenly became depressing as I continued to stay silent.

Spencer put his arm around my shoulder and comforted me, "I don't think Scarlett is the kind of person to move on so quickly. You still have a chance, so don't be depressed yet. But if you really can't win her over at all, then I will pursue her. We are brothers, after all."

I punched his chest. "Do you have a death wish?"

Spencer groaned in pain before he let go of me, covered his chest and laughed. "Come on, don't be mad. It was just a joke." "Don't make such jokes about Scarlett again," I said, glaring at him as I continued to drink.

"All right, Cheer up, Charles! You are such a remarkable man, I am sure that Scarlett will love you again," Spencer comforted me with a smile. "Shut up!" I snapped at him.

"Okay, I'll shut up." With that, he placed his hand on his mouth.

All of a sudden, I got a call from Richard.

"Boss, I have sent the photos and videos to Rita." His firm voice came from the other end of the line.

"Okay," I replied briefly and hung up.

With a curious look in his eyes, Spencer approached me and asked, "What happened?"

I glanced at him and moved away, feeling disgusted to see how interested he was in gossip. "Drink with me," I said and clinked my glass with him.

He looked at me suspiciously before he picked up his glass to drink.

At around midnight, I left the bar and went back to my apartment. Looking at the empty living room, I could not help but recall the days I had spent with Scarlett here.

I finally realized that I was the one that had not been able to move on. I could not come to terms with the fact that she had disappeared from my life ever since our divorce, and I was not able to snap out of it.

I laughed at myself while I slowly fell asleep on the couch.

Rita's POV:

Anger surged through my body when I suddenly received intimate photos of my father and Lily.

I wanted to get an explanation from my dad, so I called him immediately.

"Hello..." Lily's raspy voice came through the phone.

"Why are you answering the phone?" I questioned.

"My dear, why are you calling me in the middle of the night?" Lily chuckled. And just when I was about to retort, she said, "Honey, your daughter is on the line. Come and talk to her."

"Why is she calling at such an odd hour? Hang up, honey." I heard my father's sleepy voice.

"She's waiting. Say something to her," Lily said to him.

I could hear their conversation over the phone. How could they be so shameless?

"What's the matter?" Nate asked in a hoarse voice.

Without answering, I hung up.

I did not hesitate to go and see what they were doing now.

By the time I arrived at my father's villa, it was one in the morning.

Soon after I pressed the bell, the door opened. Lily appeared in front of me dressed in a pair of sexy silk pajamas.

With a perfunctory smile, she said, "Rita, here you are! Come on in. You must be feeling cold outside." "Get out!" I roared and was about to pull her hair.

However, my father suddenly appeared in front of her, protecting her.

"Are you okay?" he asked Lily in a concerned voice.

Lily leaned weakly in his arms and squeezed some fake tears. "I'm okay. I didn't expect her to attack me, though."

"Drop the act and get out of here!" I glared at her and was about to make my move.

But my father scolded me coldly, "Stop it! Behave yourself and know your place!"

Pointing at my father's nose, I hissed, "You think that you have the right to scold me? You already have one foot in the grave, but you're still screwing a girl who's my age. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

All of a sudden, Lily retched and said to Nate sweetly, "Honey, I haven't been able to sleep well lately, and I am experiencing loss of appetite. Can you come to the hospital with me tomorrow?" "Okay," Nate replied tenderly.

"Are you pregnant?" I asked, looking at Lily in horror.

She nodded at me and smiled. "Yes, Rita. You're going to be a big sister soon. Are you happy?"

"No way! I won't let you give birth!" I scolded her.

"What are you saying?" My father roared.

Lily leaned on his chest, sobbing.

"Honey, didn't I tell you that she would be unhappy to know that I am pregnant? Even though the baby is still in my belly, Rita hates it so much..."

The more Lily talked, the more aggrieved she pretended to be.

Seeing that, I could not restrain my anger anymore, but just when I was about to slap her, my father stopped me.

"Get out! You are not welcome here!" he shouted at me angrily.

I glared at them, clenched my fists, turned around, and walked out of there.

The more I thought of it, the angrier I became. I took out my phone and dialed a number.

"Keep an eye on Lily, and kill her child when you find an opportunity!" I said coldly before tossing my phone aside.

Janet's POV:

I was sound asleep when I suddenly heard Scarlett's blood curdling scream, so I immediately rushed to her room.

Turning on the bedside lamp, I asked with concern, "What happened, Scarlett? Tell me."

Scarlett rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "I was having a nightmare."

She wiped away her tears, and hugged me, but I could feel that she was still trembling with fear. My body stiffened, but I patted on her back to comfort her. "It's all right. You'll be fine."

She let go of me, but she was still shaking.

"It's about time. You should get up and have some breakfast,"

I said before I walked to the kitchen to make breakfast.

After she ate, the Moore family driver came to pick up James.

"Mrs. Moore wants you to move back into the Moore family's house, so that you wouldn't have to be traveling back and forth," the driver said.

"Let's discuss it later," Scarlett answered perfunctorily.

The driver then took James away.

"I want you two to go with them to the Moore mansion," she added all of a sudden.

"Let Tracy go with them. I'll stay here with you," I said in a low voice.

"I want both of you to go with them. I am feeling a little uneasy today, and I am really worried about James," Scarlett said in a firm voice.

Hearing that, I had no choice but to go.

"You be careful, and call us immediately if something happens, okay?" Saying that, I got in the car and left with them.

On our way, some men suddenly stopped our car. They seemed to be well prepared.

"What should we do now?" Tracy asked flatly.

"Call Richard." I then turned to the driver and added, "You stay in the car and protect James."

With that, Tracy and I got off the car.

They all seemed to be experienced fighters. At first, Tracy and I were able to take them on, but soon we were outnumbered and were at a disadvantage.

Just when we were about to lose hope, Richard came with his men. After getting beaten up by us, those men fled in a hurry.
