Chapter 151


    Dev looked at Scarlett, who had already averted her gaze, and the pain instantly coursed through his


    body, causing him to tremble.


    “Is it because you’ve fallen in love with Sebastian that you’re being so harsh to me….


    “Scarlett. I have loved you for half a lifetime. How can you treat me in such a way?”


    Dev’s eyes suddenly filled with resentment – resentment towards Scarlett for falling in love with


    someone else.


    Scarlett nced at Dev and balled her hands into fists. She grit her teeth and dered, “Yes, I’m in


    love with him. You know the type of person I’m attracted to. Now that I’m in love, I won’t be showing


    any mercy. Could you lend me a hand?”


    Dev’s body went cold and he started trembling uncontrobly when he heard this.


    Rushing to Scarlett with extreme anger, he grabbed her chin and kissed her.


    His strong and overbearing kiss was just as it had been before, yet Scarlett used to respond to him


    then; now, she didn’t.


    Releasing Scarlett, he felt his heart chill as he saw the coldness and disgust in her eyes.


    “Scarlett, you will regret it…


    He threw down the sentence, spun around, propped himself against the wall, and dragged his unsteady


    body away.


    Scarlett’s nose ached and tears fell upon seeing the severely injured back.


    Seeing her like this. Susan was puzzled. Why was she so reluctant to treat Dev this way?


    “Scarlett, are you still holding him ountable for kicking you twice…


    “Not at all. He hadn’t done it either” Scarlett shook her head.


    Without waiting for Susan to ask, Scarlett informed her that Dev had a twin brother.


    In an instant, the thorn in Susan’s heart was removed and the resentment that had been lodged in her


    heart for many years dissipated significantly.


    It was revealed that his elder brother had been cruel to Scarlett, and it was indeed true that Liam had


    forgotten his past. He had not been deceiving them.


    It was clear that her fondness for Liam was not unfounded, yet…


    She had a profound uncertainty in her eyes. So why do you persist in treating him this way…”


    Scarlett took a deep breath, intending to tell Susan about herte-stage life, when a phone call


    interrupted her.


    “Scarlett, wait a minute. Cosmo is calling. I’ll answer the phone first.”


    Scarlett had no choice but to stay silent. After Susan hung up the phone, she had a sour look on her

    face and anxiously asked, “What happened?”


    “Cosmo said something had urred at home and he was in a rush to return to his hometown, Susan


    didn’t conceal it from Scarlett, so she honestly informed her.


    Scarlett hastily eximed. “You don’t need to watch over me. Quickly go after him and take a peek!”


    Susan lingered, taking a seat by her bedside, not in any rush to depart.


    “Cosmo dered that his family was in debt, and he would return to assist in paying it off. I don’t need


    to apany him.”


    What was he afraid of?


    Scarlett gazed at Susan, who was seated by the bed, peeling oranges. She longed to say something,


    yet she was at a loss for


    words.


    She was fearful that anything she said could have an impact on their marriage.


    After Susan peeled the orange, she looked at Scarlett, who wanted to say something, and smiled at


    her. “I understand what you’re concerned about. Don’t be scared. I’ll take care of it myself. In any case,


    he won’t let me return to his hometown. It’s not a major issue…..”


    With an impassive expression, she passed the peeled orange to Scarlett. “Here, have some oranges


    and get your daily dose of vitamins.”
