Chapter 73


    When Mia heard the two words “sulfuric acid”, she was so frightened that her whole body shook. Even


    the words she wanted to respond with were lodged in her throat.


    Scarlett averted her eyes and nced at Linn, who was shrinking bark, not uttering a word. “Is that


    thing useful? You’ve been around so many elderly people Don’t you know? Why are you still


    badmouthing me?”


    Linn was taken aback that Scarlett would divulge her privacy in public. She instantly became incensed.


    “What do you mean?” she yelled.


    “Mia has already informed everyone about your capability. You don’t require me to exin its


    significance, do you?” Scarlett gazed at her sternly.


    Linn spun her head around to face Mia, her expression one of shock. “I thought of you as a friend! How


    could you do this to


    Mia was taken aback when Scarlett, who usually kept her struggles to herself, unexpectedly divulged


    information about Linn in front of a crowd.


    She was so angry that she wanted to go forward and p Scarlett, but Scarlett preemptively grabbed


    her wrist.


    She looked at Mia and said icily. “If youy a hand on me, I’ll make you pay for every penny!”


    Mia was so enraged that her face was contorted, “It’s just a p, how could you make me lose all my


    money?” “Didn’t you say I have a lot of potential customers? Any of them could squeeze you to

    oblivion.”


    After Scarlett finished speaking, she paid no heed to her appearance and pushed away her worries,


    turning away.


    Mia red at Scarlett’s back and gritted her teeth in rage. “You won’t get away with this, Scarlett!”


    Scarlett, feigning deafness, went straight to the bathroom.


    Today, all the humiliation she had endured in the past was released.


    She couldn’t identify her emotions, yet she sensed she should have done this a while back.


    As she was about to wash her face, Zoey walked in and she turned on the tap.


    On her way to buy milk tea for the president, she ran into Mia scolding Scarlett, so she quickly made


    her way to the bathroom.


    “Scarlett, are you okay?”


    Seeing Scarlett’s face not looking good, she guessed that Mia must have said something bad and that


    the two of them had had a dispute. Knowing that Scarlett had a weak personality, she feared that Mia


    might have bullied her.


    Upon seeing Zory’s round and adorable face, Scarlett felt an instant sense offort. Her troubled


    heart gradually eased.


    “Im fine.”


    “Really?”


    Zoey had a face of disbelief; she understood Scarlett best, yet said nothing when wronged and silently


    endured it.


    “Im doing great. Don’t fret over me. Get back to work. If Mia can’t locate youter, you only have


    yourself to me for being idle.”


    Before Zoey had a falling out with Mia, they could still get along harmoniously on the surface; however,


    now that things had be strained, if Mia saw that Zoey was still so close to her, she would likely


    take some kind of retaliatory action against her. As an intern, Zory was under Mia’smand, so she


    had to be careful.


    Zoey had taken great efforts entering YII. She wanted to be an official employee with the help of


    Mia, so she definitely couldn’t afford to implicate her.


    Zory seemed to have picked up on this too. She was a bit hesitant, but eventually she nodded. “Okay,


    I’ll go to work first


    then”


    Scarlett smiled and waved her hand. “Go.”


    Zoey then finally turned and departed the bathroom.


    Scarlett’s smile gradually faded as soon as she departed.


    Scarlee meant that, during this period when Dey was with A Town, she would be providing


    entertainment for him on behalf of the Napier Group.


    When partners visited Napier Group on business trips, thepany would often provide entertainment


    for them. Arranging food, clothing, amodation, drinks, and entertainment for guests.


    For partners who invited Napier Group to discuss cooperation, this was the treatment they would


    receive.


    Dey hade clearly to participate in Jackman Group’s bidding and had no involvement with Napier


    Group.


    However, for the sake of YH’s branchpany, Scarlee asked her to take the initiative to ingratiate


    herself with Dev.


    She and Dey had such an unbearable past, so she was thick-skinned when it came to dealing with


    him.


    She was afraid he might mistakenly believe her personality would remain unchanged, thinking that she


    seized the chance to get closer to him through work.


    Sebastian would also got offended by her, as she was unheeding of his warning and still determined to


    entice his brother-inw.


    Scarlett felt embarrassed, thinking that Dey and Sebastian would misunderstand her in this way.


    Compared to losing money, embarrassment was insignificant.
