Chapter 11
She’s Married, Sir! Novel Chapter 11
“Mr. Jackman, allow me to introduce you. This is my woman, Scarlett.”
Scarlett was momentarily stunned by James’s introduction.
She had not anticipated that the status she had desired would be bestowed upon her by a lecher.
The man she had yearned for had been toying with the wine ss and had not even nced her way.
Everything that urred here seemed to have no connection to him; he waspletely aloof.
Noticing Sebastian’sck of interest, James swiftly raised Scarlett’s chin.
“Mr. Jackman, look. Doesn’t she bear a striking resemnce to Scarlee?”
He went to the Napier Group today to discuss business and met Miss Napier, who bore a striking
resemnce to Scarlett.
He asked around and discovered that Miss Napier, who had recentlye back to the country, was
Sebastian’s partner.
He hastened to the Jackman Group and employed Scarlett to gain proximity to Sebastian, thereby
sessfully obtaining the opportunity to meet him.
Now that Sebastian had arrived, James was determined to seize this opportunity to win the west city
project.
Upon hearing James’s words, Sebastian slowly raised his cold gaze.
He nced at her from head to toe, as if she were a stranger.
His eyes were foggy, making it impossible to discern any emotion.
After gazing at her for a while, he remarked softly. “Scarlee is iparable.”
The words pierced Scarlett’s heart like a knife.
“Undoubtedly, she cannot rival Miss Napier.”
James grabbed her chin as if he was examining a lowly creature. He said scornfully, “She is an orphan
with no influence or pedigree. Miss Napier is the only daughter of the Napier Group and is highly
educated. How can this woman possibly measure up to her?”
Yes, how could shepare with her?
In Sebastian’s eyes, she was merely a substitute, unable to measure up to the real deal.
Scarlett tightly pursed her lips, not uttering a single word, yet her heart was aching with pain.
James said so much to demean Scarlett in order to ingratiate himself with Sebastian.
Sebastian, however, seemed oblivious; not even sparing her a nce, he kept his head down and
fiddled with his wine ss.
James knew his ce and stopped talking. He then pulled Scarlett to sit down opposite him.
Scarlett and the man had barely sat down when another man opened a bottle of wine and handed it to
her.
“Miss Sales, correct? Do you
drink?”
Scarlett had no idea who the man was and was too afraid to drink it.
If he ced something inside, who knows what James would do to herter.
As she was wavering, the man abruptly grinned. “Don’t fret, I didn’t put anything in there.”
Scarlett felt a little relieved when she saw the man’s gentle smile.
She took the ss, took a sip, yet still did not dare to swallow.
The woman sitting beside the man saw this and couldn’t help but sneer.
“Mr. Forrest, your taste in women is deteriorating. Lance graciously poured her wine, yet she treated
him as if he hadmitted a crime. She has no regard whatsoever.”
The woman spoke of Lance, who was Sebastian’s cousin. His name was Lance Jackman and he was a
yboy, but not as repulsive as James.
Since Scarlett had been trailing Sebastian, she had never encountered his family and friends until now,
when she finally saw
Lance.

She couldn’t help but steal a few more nces at him; he bore a resemnce to Sebastian, yet he
wasn’t as aloof. Quite the opposite, he was quite gentle.
Upon seeing that Scarlett had not even reacted to her words, the woman’s face instantly became
angry.

The meaning in her words was unmistakable. Had it been anyone else, they would surely have finished
the drink.
She needed only to apologize to Lance and drink the wine, and the matter was done.
However, she acted as if she had noprehension of this whatsoever!
Scarlett naturally understood everything. But since the words were directed at James, she saw no
reason not to y dumb.
The woman reminded James, “Mr. Forrest, it was only because of Lance’s rmendation that you
were able to meet Mr. Jackman today. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had the chance to see him, let
alone discuss the project. But your woman refused to even have a ss of wine. Is this how the
evening is going to go?”
