Chapter 1178 Dmned Sister


    Scarlette still had not emerged out of the car after Hadrian had waited for a long time. He went to her


    side, raised his hand, and rapped on the door, but she remained seated in the car.


    He opened the door and went in, staring at her. "Are youing out or not?"


    Scarlette pulled a long face as she stared at him. "We agreed to go home. Why would youe here?"


    Annoyance was written all over her face.


    "Then, I''ll carry you down." Hadrian bent over, intending to lift Scarlette into his arms. She dodged to


    the side, refusing to let him carry her.


    However, Hadrian seemed to have anticipated her reaction. He held her hand and pulled her over.


    When she was in his arms, he got out of the car and put her down. Subsequently, he held her wrist with


    one hand and closed the car door with the other. After that, he turned around and pulled her towards


    the restaurant.


    She didn''t want to go in. She stood outside and struggled, but she was weaker than him in terms of


    strength. The push-and-pull ended with her being pulled inside.


    After booking a private room, she was pushed into it by Hadrian.


    The waiters and waitresses were scared out of their wits, not knowing what was going on. Once they


    had entered the private room, Scarlette lifted her hand to smack Hadrian''s face, taking out her anger


    on him without holding back. He didn''t dodge it.


    Smack!


    All of a sudden, there was a moment of silence. Hadrian ran his tongue across his teeth, and his deep


    eyesnded on her. "Can we have our meal now?"


    She glowered at him, and her face instantly turned white as a sheet. "Don''t you ever think that the


    score has been settled with that one p. I''m telling you, they will never be settled in this lifetime."


    Turning around, she sat down and smacked the table with her palm. "Serve the dishes."


    The waiter trembled in fear and quickly went to pick up the dishes.


    Only then did Hadrian sit down and look at her, face-to-face. "You were too young back then. It was not


    that I disliked you, but it was more like I couldn''t bring myself toy my hands on a young girl. Besides,


    you took an inordinately proactive approach by getting into my bed even before I could do anything.


    What else was left for me to do to woo you?"


    Hadrian exined, to which Scarlette found it ludicrous andughed hysterically.


    Then, he just watched as sheughed.


    "Do you still think I''m an idiot? No, I''m not. Let me get this straight with you. Quit using your excuses to


    fool me. I''m well aware that you''ve never saved a spot for me in your heart, never. I have zero trust in


    you. I will find my Mr. Right, and he will be better than you."


    Scarlette snarled at him, and his face fell. "Better than me? How, pRhys tell, can he be better than


    me?"


    "He''ll outshine you in every aspect," growled Scarlette. Hadrian replied coldly, "I will kill any men aside


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    from me who dares toy a finger on you. We shall see who has the guts to do so!"


    Hearing his words, Scarlette gritted her teeth. "Says the guy who''s shameless."


    "Since you know that I''m shameless, then don''t even think about what you shouldn''t do. Whatever you


    want to eat and drink, I''ll provide them all for you. I''ll give you whatever you want, but you can''t rece


    me with another man. You''d better banish such thoughts from your head right away, or I''ll have all sorts


    of ways to show you who''s the boss."


    Hadrian shot a sinister nce at her. The waiters and waitresses had been eavesdropping outside, and


    his words sent chills down their spines. To them, such a man was too much like a gangster. Whoever


    ended up with him would only end in misery.


    For some reason, their hearts went out to Scarlette.


    However, little did they know that Scarlette''s earlier p was about to catalyze a war between men and


    women.


    A waiter entered the private room, cing the tes and cutlery orderly. He appeared to be a 20-year-


    old youth. He was not handsome, but he was definitely suave and well-trained. Even though it was a


    restaurant, its owner had hired a bunch of good-looking youngds and girls, so that it could offer a


    feast for the eyes, as well as cater to the pte of the customers. Unexpectedly, such a strategy had


    spelled disaster for this restaurant.


    Noticing how attractive the waiter was, Scarlette felt that the food had be tastier. She kept staring


    at him while having her meal. As a well-trained waiter, he politely gave her a smile in return.


    "How old are you?" asked Scarlette. He told her that he was twenty years old. Next, Scarlette asked


    him if he was still studying, and he answered that the financial conditions of his family weren''t very


    encouraging, and that his academic performances in school were bad too, so he had to start working.


    Scarlette took the initiative to tell him. "I''m neen." Finding that she was beautiful, he snuck a nce


    at her, and she just cracked a smile at him. And... all h*ll broke loose.


    Raeleigh was about to rest when she received the call. Following that, she ran down from upstairs.


    Santiago also came downstairs at the same time. He took a look at her and showed an unhappy face.


    "What''s with that nervousness? It''s not you who''s being imprisoned."


    Raeleigh put on her coat. "Scarlette said that a man had been beaten to death."


    "Death?" For Santiago, that was not what he heard.


    "He died just like that?" Santiago turned around and walked towards the door, wondering if he was


    never to have a day of peace.


    Cynthia asked from behind, "When will you guyse back?"


    "I don''t know. Go to bed Tristany. Remember to close the doors and windows." With that, Santiago left.


    In fact, there were not many doors and windows to be closed. He just wanted to let her know that she


    should be cautious at home.


    Getting into the car, Raeleigh followed Santiago to the police station. As soon as they entered through


    the door, the rest of the Cole family came into sight.


    Flynt was sitting aside. When he saw Raeleigh, he froze for a moment. Afterwards, his eyes were on


    Hadrian and Scarlette.


    Given that the two of them were involved in the fight, undoubtedly, he had to call them to ount for it.


    Raeleigh nced at Santiago. She had not expected to see Flynt here. If she had known in advance


    that he was here, then she would have brought Cynthia over.


    After all, they were siblings.


    Santiago shot daggers at Raeleigh before he walked over. When he reached her, his eyes stRhysed to


    Scarlette. "Are you injured?"


    Scarlette shook her head. "No, Mr. Santiago."


    "Well, did you fight?" Santiago asked. She shook her head again. "I tried to stop him."


    "And failed?" asked Santiago. That time, Scarlette nodded, and he then added, "Why am I not


    surprised at your ir for stirring up trouble."


    She lowered her head, astonished at the odds of Flynt showing up right after the guy had been


    thrashed.


    "Raeleigh, go through the formalities and bail Scarlette out." Santiago had no one by his side, so he


    had no option but to order Raeleigh.


    Raeleigh did as he said by turning around and looking for the police officer who was in charge of the


    bailing.


    Santiago cast a look at Hadrian, making sure he was alright. With his hand raised, he looked at


    Hadrian. "Did you kill him?"


    "I only threw a punch at him, and then he was out cold. Plus, their men refused to take him to the


    hospital." Hadrian was aware that he had been set up, so he had to make it clear. Otherwise, Santiago


    and the Harvey family would be implicated.


    Santiago nodded before he gazed at Flynt. "And what brings you here?"


    "Why can''t I be here? Is there a rule stating that only you, Mr. Santiago, cane here while I can''t?"


    Santiago snorted and said, "Despite being my brother-inw, you''ve been holding a grudge against me,


    and you evennded us all here in the police station. You have the nerve, I must say." After finishing


    his words, Santiago disregarded Flynt and turned to sweep his eyes over others. Meanwhile, Flynt was


    infuriated by Santiago''s sarcastic remark.


    "Bullsh*t! Cynthia..."


    Santiago turned around. "Bullsh*t, huh? Do we have to call Cynthia toe here for rification?"


    Upon hearing Santiago''s words, Flynt suddenly fell silent, thinking, "Cynthia again? God d*mn it! Is


    Santiago intending to use my d*mned sister to hold me down forever?"
