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 ss of wine after another, but I could not stop feeling so upset.


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


    ncing 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 lottely. You should take care of yourself." With that, he took away my


    ss.


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


    Spencer put his arm around my shoulder andforted 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 andughed. "Come on, don''t be


    mad. It was just a joke." "Don''t make such jokes about Scarlett again," I said, ring 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," Spencerforted me with a smile. "Shut up!" I snapped at him.


    "Okay, I''ll shut up." With that, he ced 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 nced at him and moved away, feeling disgusted to see how interested he was in gossip. "Drink


    with me," I said and clinked my ss with him.


    He looked at me suspiciously before he picked up his ss 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 note 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.


    Iughed 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 exnation 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 vi, 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 red at her and was about to make my move.


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


    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 youe 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 p her, my father


    stopped me.


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


    I red 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.


    J''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 bedsidemp, 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 tofort 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 itter," 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 tly.


    "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.
