Chapter 1 Did You Really Love Me?

Thunder was rolling outside the window, and heavy rain was pouring down.

The atmosphere in the room was ambiguous and depressing.

Scarlet looked at the man in front of her, her voice was a little hoarse, "Fu...William Vance..."

The man's voice was clear and cold, and he responded, "Huh?"

In this situation, the air was scorching hot, and Scarlet couldn't help but frowned.

"You...have you really never loved me?"

The moment she asked this sentence, the man's deep eyes fell on her blushing face, "Scarlet, don't you find it disappointing to ask such nonsense at this time?"

Before Scarlet could speak, the man got up and left.

He stood at the door and looked at her condescendingly, "I thought we could live together peacefully on the last night, but it seems you don't need it."

Such harsh words were like a basin of icy cold water poured on Scarlet.

The scorching heat just now dissipated in an instant, and all that was left was a bone-piercing coolness.

William Vance bent over to pick up the clothes that were thrown aside just now, and then looked at her again, "In this case, then I won't bother, I will ask Stephen Thornton to prepare the materials for you to sign tomorrow."

Clean and tidy, he didn't even give her a chance to say the second sentence tonight.

The heavy door slammed shut, as if pushing her into a bottomless abyss.

Sure enough, it wasn't hers, and it would never be hers...

At the beginning, she was able to marry William Vance because his white moonlight Sarah Stafford was on the way to filming because the road was slippery in rainy weather. The car broke the railing and fell into the deepest deep sea in Philadelphia. Because of serious injuries, he was sent to the hospital by the Stafford family. Closed treatment abroad.

Originally, the Vance family also looked down on Sarah Stafford, so after Sarah Stafford left, the Vance family kept arranging blind dates for William Vance. In order to avoid the blind dates at home, William Vance approached her.

She and William Vance are classmates in junior high school, and their relationship is not good, but barely better than others.

She likes William Vance. From junior high school to high school, from high school to university, and then into the society, she dreams of marrying him and becoming his wife.

So when William Vance approached her, she agreed almost without hesitation.

Even if she knew that there was someone in William Vance's heart, she also knew that the person who lived in her heart was not so easy to forget.

But she was still lonely and chose to marry him.

Because of the disparity between the Tyler family and the Vance family, the Tyler family knew that a wealthy family like the Vance family was in dire straits, and disagreed with Scarlet's decision.

But at that time, Scarlet abandoned her family and everything she had, and even wanted to marry William Vance even at the expense of severing ties with the Tyler family.

From a young lady who didn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers, she became a good wife who washes, cooks and takes care of her husband.

She thought that as long as she worked hard, as long as she treated William Vance wholeheartedly, one day, he would see her kindness, and he would fall in love with her...

Unfortunately, in the past five years, she has not made him fall in love with her, let alone fall in love with her.

Now... that person is back, she should give way.

And Mrs. Vance in the past five years, she has done enough...

It rained all night outside.

It stopped shortly before dawn.

Scarlet stayed up all night last night, her eyes were slightly swollen, and the end of her eyes was still red, but it wasn't red when she was in love, but red with bloodshot eyes.

The phone on the bedside table rang suddenly.

To show it is: Stephen Thornton.

The all-round assistant of William Vance.

Scarlet reached for his hand and answered the phone, "Hello?"

When she spoke, Scarlet realized how hoarse her voice had become.

It seemed to scare Stephen Thornton over the phone, too.

However, there was only a few seconds of silence before Stephen Thornton's voice came over, still in a businesslike tone, "Scarlet, are you free this morning?"

Scarlet got up and sat up, staring at something for a while, maybe three or four seconds, and then responded, "Yes."

After finishing speaking, Scarlet paused and asked directly, "William Vance asked you to find me?"

Stephen Thornton over there responded, "Yes."

Stephen Thornton called to say something, but Scarlet knew it all.

She had been pestering him for five years, her humbleness was as low as dust, but she still couldn't make anyone look at her more.

In this case, it might as well be a little more chic.

Scarlet threw off the quilt and got out of bed, and said in a low voice, "Stephen, please tell William Vance, I will wait for him at the coffee shop opposite Vance Group in an hour."

Stephen Thornton hesitated for a moment before responding, "Okay, I'll tell Mr. Vance."

Scarlet hung up the phone without saying anything else.

　　……

An hour later, Scarlet parked the car in front of the coffee shop opposite Vance Group.

Just as he was about to turn off the engine and get out of the car, the mobile phone that had been set aside rang at this moment.

The call was from her good friend Amaya Buchanan.

"Scarlet, don't forget today's awards ceremony."

Scarlet replied, "I haven't forgotten."

"What's wrong with your voice? Have a cold?" Amaya Buchanan's concerned voice came.

Scarlet cleared his throat, "I drank too much cold last night, and with the air conditioner on, my throat is not very comfortable."

"William Vance doesn't care about you?"

"He's busy."

Amaya Buchanan snorted softly, "Just get used to it."

Scarlet raised his hand to turn off the ignition, "You..."

Scarlet didn't finish the following words, looking at the two people coming out of the dessert shop diagonally opposite, Scarlet only felt that his eyes started to hurt again.

Burning pain.

"What's wrong with me?" came the voice of Amaya Buchanan on the phone.

Scarlet said ah, "It's okay, I have something to do here, let's do this first."

"Don't forget the award ceremony." Amaya Buchanan reminded again.

Scarlet didn't respond and hung up the phone directly.

Handsome men and beautiful women, standing together is a beautiful landscape.

Looking at that scene, Scarlet raised her lips in self-deprecating manner. Where did she get the confidence to take Sarah Stafford's place in William Vance's heart.

When William Vance looked over, Scarlet didn't avoid it, and directly opened the door and got out of the car.

Scarlet walked up to the two of them generously, looked at William Vance, and asked, "If I don't have time now, I'll leave first, and make another appointment?"

William Vance looked at Scarlet, "No need."

After speaking, he looked sideways at the people around him, and said softly, "I'll take you to the car first, I have something to deal with."

Sarah Stafford looked at Scarlet with a smile on her face, "This is Ms. Tyler, right?"

Listening to Sarah Stafford's words, Scarlet offered her hand, "Ms. Stafford."

When Sarah Stafford reached out to shake hands with Scarlet, William Vance suddenly reached out and grabbed Sarah Stafford's wrist, "It's windy outside, you go to the car first."

Sarah Stafford smiled sweetly, "William, I'm not that delicate."

William Vance raised his hand and gathered Sarah Stafford's clothes, "My heart aches, I'll take you to the car first."
