Farewell To My Endless Love
Chapter 160 Got Into Trouble Through Clever...

Scarlett's POV:

I took a step forward and played the recording on my phone.

Hearing that, Rita blushed with embarrassment. "What? Didn't you say that you want to reconcile with me?" I asked, looking down on her.

Rita cleared her throat and said, "I probably mixed up the time by mistake. Anyway, now that you're here, let's talk."

She then poured me a glass of water and handed it to me. "Here, have some water. We'll bury the hatchet and become friends again, okay?"

"I don't feel like drinking water now. My stomach doesn't feel too good," I replied with a smile.

The next second, the crowd began to grumble. "You're such a narrow-minded woman! Rita has taken the initiative to make peace with you, and yet, you're being unreasonably mean to her." "Well, that's just how I am. What can you do about it?" I admitted frankly.

All of a sudden, I heard a voice dripping with sarcasm. "Scarlett is not as simple-minded as we thought her to be. She seduced Charles, got pregnant with his child, and forced him to hold a wedding ceremony. She is really..."

"Vicious?" I interrupted him, and finished his sentence.

Subconsciously, I touched the diamond ring on my finger with a smile.

"Is that your wedding ring? It looks so plain. Do you remember the ring that Charles bought for Rita? That ring was worth millions of dollars, but still he did not take it back from her even after they broke up," someone in the crowd sneered.

"Well, that is true. The diamond in Scarlett's ring is indeed smaller than the one in mine, and it lacks in luster," Rita chimed in.

"Oh, yes. This simple ring is just like its vicious owner. It looks like Charles did not put so much thoughts when he selected your ring..." a group cried out, and Rita's words were also becoming harsher and harsher as she continued to chime with them.

"What a group of bitches!" Nina muttered, standing beside me.

"What did you just say? Who is the bitch here?" a red-haired woman asked.

"The one who's talking to me right now," Nina said, showing her middle finger at the woman.

"Damn you! You're courting death!" The red-haired woman stood up angrily, but a person next to her pulled her back.

"Stop arguing. Charles might have just randomly picked that ring because he was busy with something else, something more important of course." Rita was trying to act like she was being kind.

"Even though you two have broken up, you're still wearing the ring that he gave you. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Nina asked sarcastically.

"I just wanted to wear it because whenever I look at it, I am reminded of the time that Charles and I spent together," Rita said in an aggrieved tone, lowering her head.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it anymore," I said with a smile.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd questioned, "Do you want to take the ring back, then?"

"Anything that Charles has given Rita has become our common property since I am married to him now," I said calmly.

"Do you still want to take away their common property even though you were just a mistress? But if you're still not convinced, then we can take this to the court. I am sure that Scarlett will win the case," Nina sneered.

"A mistress?" Everyone looked at Rita inquisitively.

"I was not a mistress! Even Scarlett knew that Charles wanted to marry me!" Rita explained at once.

"You tried to destroy their relationship even though you knew that Charles was a married man. What do you think that makes you, if not a mistress?" Nina hissed.

"What does this mean, Scarlett? I came here to make peace with you, but you brought your friend along to humiliate me?" Rita asked angrily. "She was only stating the fact, right?" I asked casually.

"I've recorded our conversation, and if you don't return the ring like I advised you to, then I will post the recording online and expose you as the mistress," Nina warned with a smile.

"How dare you!" Rita stomped her foot furiously.

"You leave me with no choice, then."

Just when we were about to leave, someone rushed over to us and stopped me. "Hand over the recording!"

"That's right. Hand over the recording. Don't take this too far!" Everyone was glaring at me.

Nina and I were completely unmoved as we exchanged glances.

Seeing that, everyone rushed towards us to snatch the phone from us.

The red-haired woman grabbed my arm and yanked me back. Nina stepped in front of me to protect me before she slapped the woman hard across her face.

The woman let out a scream before she took a step back, covering her cheek.

"Scarlett is pregnant, and if you still value your life, then you'd better not lay a finger on her!" Nina warned the woman, biting her lip with a scarily cold look in her eyes.

Rita forced a smile and said, "Scarlett, hand over the recording."

"And why would I do that?" I asked sarcastically.

Upon hearing that, Rita's expression darkened.

"Go get her!" The moment she gave the order, her friends gathered around me.

Nina protected me as we carefully retreated to a corner. She then grabbed the bottle on the table and smashed it on the ground. "If you dare to take another step, then I will end you all!" While everyone was staring at us in shock, several men dressed in black stormed in.

I then saw Charles walking towards me.

Rita quickly passed through the crowd and grabbed his hand. "Charles, you're finally here! Scarlett was trying to take back the ring you gave me, and she even called me a mistress!" "Let go off me." Charles shook off her hand rudely and continued, "I've already warned you not to make any trouble for my wife..."

"No, Charles. I just wanted to..."

Charles completely ignored her, walked up to me, and asked in a concerned voice, "Which one was it that hurt you?"

I pointed at the woman with red hair. With a frown, Charles ordered his bodyguard to break her hand.

He then grabbed my hand and escorted me out.

"Why are your hands so cold?" he asked coldly.

"Well, since you're here now, I don't feel cold at all."

Hearing that, he quickly took off his coat and put it over my shoulders.

I smiled at him as I let him gently rub my hands together. He then held my waist and walked me outside.

"Why did you come here all of a sudden?" I asked in surprise.

"I saw the news, and I was worried about you. But I still have some work to do at the company, so I will have to leave soon." Saying that, Charles covered my hands gently.

He then added with a frown, "This place is not safe for you, so I'd have to come here to keep you company."

I shook my head and said, "I don't want to delay your work."

After thinking for a few moments, he said, "Then I want you to come back with me."

"The training will be over soon. It's just going to be a little while. I can't let all the effort I put in until now go to waste, right?" I said, looking into his eyes.

"What is more important to you, me or the training?" Charles pouted, looking at me.

I held his hand and kissed his chin like a spoiled child. "Of course, you are more important to me. Once I finish the training, I won't have to go abroad again, but if I go back with you now, then I'll have to come back here again in the future to finish this training program after all."

Charles snorted and kept silent. I was relieved to see that he was not trying to persuade me anymore.

Rita's POV:

"Why do you take us as your pawns? We have always considered you as a good friend!" Lisa roared at me.

"Yes! We offended Charles because of you. Do you even know what that means? If he decides to take revenge on us, then our families will also be doomed! And it will all be your fault!"

"We came here for you, and since you're the reason things ended so badly for us, aren't you at least going to try to make it up to us?"

My friends started criticizing me the moment

Scarlett and Charles left.

"Why don't you give it to us in writing that you were the mastermind behind all of this?" Lisa retorted with a frown.

"No!" I refused without hesitation.

"You must, or are you planning on continuing to drag us down with you? Do you even think of us as your friends?"

As soon as she finished her words, everyone else turned to me with a righteous look in their eyes. "Yes! Hurry up and give it to us in writing that the whole thing had nothing to do with us."

"No, I can't do that," I refused again, shaking my head. My heart was filled with hatred for those artful weathercocks.

"You can't? Fine. Don't blame us for being rude later, then." Saying that, Lisa gestured for the person next to her to take out her phone and record a video.

I tried to grab the phone, but Lisa stopped me.

"You have helped Charles before, so he is not going to hurt you. It's not going to be a big deal for you to give a statement like that."

As soon as Lisa uttered those words, everyone turned to me with burning rage in their eyes.

I stepped back guiltily and slumped to the sofa.

"Write it." Lisa threw a pen and a piece of paper in front of me while looking down at me.

After hesitating for a moment, I grabbed the pen.

"Hurry up. You don't need to write a story, just mention the truth," someone urged me, seeing that I was a little hesitant. Gritting my teeth, I wrote what they wanted, and after I was done, they took the paper from me and left with satisfaction. Lily and I were the only ones left behind. She walked to me and sat down next to me.

"Actually, I think it's going to be a piece of cake to make Scarlett suffer," Lily said to me with a smile as she took a sip of the wine.
