Farewell To My Endless Love
Chapter 391 Hit Me If You Dare

Charles's POV:

I woke up from a nightmare.

In it, I was chasing Scarlett, but no matter how fast I ran, she only got farther and farther away from me. I couldn't catch up with her.

Fear and despair overwhelmed me and made it difficult for me to breathe.

Suddenly, my phone rang.

Richard called and said that he had gotten some news about Vivian.

After hanging up the phone, I immediately drove to the hospital to see Spencer.

When I opened the door and entered the ward, he was still awake.

He didn't turn his head when I came in. He just continued staring at the ceiling with eyes brimming with pain.

"Hey, buddy. How're you feeling?" I said, walking over to his bedside.

Spencer didn't respond. He just kept his eyes fixed upward.

Looking at him, I found that he had lost a significant amount of weight, and he just lay there like a soulless husk of a man. The doctors did everything in their power in order to save Spencer's life. Sadly, he might still never be able to walk again.

As Spencer's friend, I couldn't let him give up on himself like this.

"Richard was able to glean some information on Vivian," I said tentatively.

Spencer remained silent.

"You know what kind of situation she's in now. Emily wants to snatch the Johnson family's fortune with Ethan's help. She's going to use Vivian as her tool. Vivian is alone and powerless now."

I sat on the edge of Spencer's bed and patiently tried to make him see reason.

"I know you still care about Vivian, Spencer. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to find her and caught in an accident. But what have you done for her? What changes have you made for her?" I looked at him with disappointment.

Spencer pursed his lips, and then tears started streaming down his face.

Seeing his reaction, I lowered my voice and said, "Spencer, you have to be strong. Vivian is waiting for you."

I knew that Spencer needed a reason to keep living.

"I don't even know where she is now," Spencer muttered in frustration.

"She's in French; in a suburb villa. I know the exact address," I assured him.

This time, Spencer whipped his head toward me. His eyes suddenly lit up.

"Really?" he asked excitedly.

"Yes. When you recover, you can go get her," I replied and gently patted Spencer on the shoulder.

"For now, you have to fight and beat this ordeal. Vivian needs you."

"Is she okay?" Spencer asked in between sobs, his eyes still red with tears.

I pursed my lips and didn't answer.

"I'm sorry. That was a stupid question. Of course she's not okay. Ethan's holding her captive," Spencer murmured.

I decided to stay for a while to accompany Spencer. Then, I left.

After walking out of the hospital, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, only Vivian could cheer Spencer up.

The next morning, when I was on my way to the Moore Group, I received a call from Amy.

"Mr. Moore, the auction of the east bank land is about to start. Would you like me to arrange an escort for you?"

I thought for a while and ordered, "Send an invitation to Miss Wilson."

After hanging up the phone, I felt a touch of expectation in my heart.

I wondered if Scarlett would accept my invitation.

After pondering for a while, I called Richard.

"Pack up all the photos of the boys this year and send them to Scarlett... Oh, no. Send them to Miss Wilson's current residence."

Scarlett's POV:

On my way to the office, I thought a lot about the auction.

Suddenly, Elena cursed.

"Damn it! There's a car that overtook us and cut in front!"

I looked out the window and saw a black car in front of us.

"Does that car look familiar to you? Is it Kama's car?"

I took a closer look and found that the car indeed looked familiar.

"Can you make it stop?" I asked, staring dead ahead.

I didn't want to be the one to provoke Raina first, but that didn't mean that I was afraid of her.

She was obviously trying to pick a fight this time, and I wasn't one to back down.

"Of course," Elena answered confidently.

"Hold on, Miss Wilson."

As soon as she finished speaking, Elena sped up. Soon, she was able to force Raina's car to a halt. After pulling over her car, Raina rolled down her window. Seeing her face, I was a little startled. I always forgot that she was Rita's identical twin. "Elena, right? Being a vicious woman's bodyguard won't do you any good. Why don't you come work for me instead? I can pay you more than whatever Scarlett's giving you," Raina offered smugly.

"You want to hire me? Do you think you deserve someone like me?"

Elena got out of the car and punched Raina's window.

The window quivered at the impact made by Elena's fist and looked as if it was going to disintegrate.

Raina ducked and took cover in response like she was in an earthquake drill.

"You're the vicious woman, Raina!" Elena exclaimed and kicked the wheel.

"I just overtook you. Is it illegal to do that?" Raina raised her eyebrows and laughed mockingly.

"Don't think that I don't know what you're up to. Be a responsible driver next time. If you do something like this to us again, both you and your car will be sorry!" Elena said in a menacing tone that even scared me a little..

"Hit me if you dare!" Raina growled, gritting her teeth.

I rolled down my window and stared at her coldly.

With a smile on my face, I said to Elena, "Did you hear that, Elena? Miss Hill wants to be hit. Come on, let's do her a favor."

With her eyes lighting up, Elena beamed and quickly got back in the car.

She switched gears, reversed the car, and then rammed it into Raina's.

"Ah!" Raina screamed in horror.

Our airbags popped out in the collision. Elena and I weren't injured.

However, Raina wasn't so lucky.

The impact gave her whiplash and slammed her head against the steering wheel, giving her a wound on the forehead.

Seeing her miserable condition through her window, I couldn't help feeling a bit elated. The blood on Kama's face improved my sour mood.

I was glad that we drove a rugged car today. Otherwise, we would've been injured as well.

Raina roared, "You're just jealous because I have Charles!"

"Oh, yeah? If he really liked you, then why did he leave your birthday party to beg me to take him back?" I scoffed.

"You..." Raina was too angry to curse me. Her eyes were full of grief and indignation.

"I must say that I truly misjudged you, Raina. I thought you were a self-respecting woman who wouldn't grovel at the feet of any man. I suppose you're just like those who don't mind secondhand spouses," I jeered and then told Elena to drive on.

I put on a satisfied smile as the wind behind us drowned out the string of profanity that Raina furiously screamed.

When I arrived at the office, I immediately went to the meeting room and presided over a regular meeting.

"I am going to bid for the land on the east bank at the auction. I'm determined to get it," I cut to the chase and announced my decision.

Everyone exchanged glances but said nothing.

I swept my eyes around the room and took mental note of everyone's expressions.

"There are still many problems with the

Ecological Park project on the west coast. We have to resolve those within a week. If you feel like you're not up to the task, there's the door. Pack up your stuff and leave," I declared, keeping my face neutral. After that, the meeting room fell silent as a tomb. No one even dared to breathe audibly.

I knew that they were not convinced of me and my leadership skills, but I would make them believe one day.
