Marriage With A Evil Heart

I got up and looked out of the window towards the front door.

Surprisingly, standing at the front door was Scarlette. I was delighted; it seemed she had returned from Southend.

I saw Sherry blocking her outside the door, so I quickly opened the window and shouted, “Let her in!”

Then I turned and went downstairs.

Robert, who heard the sound, followed me down.

Scarlette and I locked eyes, and instantly, we both acted out.

“Daisy, oh my, I missed you so much! If I hadn’t gone to Southend, I wouldn’t have known you were back!” Scarlette, holding a big bag of things and a box of toys, placed them on the coffee table and rushed towards me, giving me a tight hug. “Why didn’t you call me when you came back?”

She pinched me hard, and I understood that she had something to say.

“Scarlette, it’s been so long since I last saw you!” I responded, going along with it. “Did you go back to Southend?”

As I walked her towards the sofa, I deliberately asked.

“Yeah, it’s been a while since I went back. Coincidentally, my company had some business in Southend recently, so I took the opportunity to visit home and also see your parents!” Scarlette explained.

Robert, with a smiling face, warmly greeted Scarlette. “Scarlette, it’s not easy to see you!”

“Not easy? Honestly, I’ve been to your house several times and couldn’t even get in!” Scarlette directly fired, “Your maid is too dedicated to her duty, it’s like she doesn’t recognize her own family!”

These words almost made me burst into laughter; Alice had just said that Sherry doesn’t acknowledge family.

Sherry looked embarrassed, and I signaled to her, “You go do your thing!”

The two sisters then headed towards the guest rooms.

I warmly pulled Scarlette to sit down, and she looked me up and down, exclaiming, “Daisy, why are you so thin? And this hair… Why did you cut it?”

I sighed theatrically, “I lost a lot of hair after being sick, so I cut it!”

Scarlette looked accusingly at Robert, “Robert, you didn’t take care of Daisy properly!”

Robert, with a forced smile, sat down beside me, “You are right, I indeed didn’t take good care of Daisy and made her suffer!”

“A man can’t always be busy with work; your wife is your wealth, especially Daisy, she’s a lucky star, and her contributions are undeniable!” Scarlette spoke loudly, making a double-edged remark.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

As clever as Robert was, he couldn’t miss the underlying meaning in Scarlette’s words. His face stiffened slightly, and he nodded modestly.

Scarlette seized the opportunity and pointed to the large bag she had brought, saying, “Daisy, your dad sent your favorite snacks and dishes. He insistedI make sure to bring them to you!”

Seeing the large bag, I instantly teared up. Robert quickly and thoughtfully brought it to me and said insincerely, “Your parents are still considered. you haven’t had a good appetite lately, and that’s all you need.”

I looked through it, and indeed, there were hometown dishes and little snacks that I had been craving.

Scarlette took the large box and playfully waved it in front of Charles, who was engrossed in playing. “These are toys for our little Charles!”

This got Charles all excited, demanding that his dad open the box.

So, I pulled Scarlette aside and said to Robert, “You play with Charles for a while. I’ll take Scarlette to the room for a chat.”

Robert quickly nodded and politely said to Scarlette, “Go ahead! It’s been a while; have a good chat. Scarlette, don’t rush off; stay for lunch!”

“Sure! I’d love to!” Scarlette happily agreed, and then I enthusiastically led her upstairs.

Back in the room, I gestured to Scarlette to be quiet, opened my phone to check the surveillance, and saw Robert absentmindedly unwrapping Charles’s toys.

While watching the surveillance screen on my phone, I said to Scarlette, “Quickly, He’ll be coming up soon.”

Scarlette quickly took out the medicine she brought for me and whispered, “It seems Robert is indeed eyeing your dad’s shares in Sheel Pharma. This time when he went over, he deliberately tried to gather information from your dad.”

I pondered for a moment. “That makes sense! He must have figured out the details of Sheel Pharma.”

“Also, I got information from the Southend Planning Bureau. The government may have plans to turn the ancient architectural complex of our old house into a hundred-year-old town. The compensation is said to be quite substantial. He wouldn’t have missed hearing about it.”

“Compensation?” I murmured to myself.

Scarlette nodded, and we both instantly understood.

I sighed with certainty, “So, this is the main point!”
