Chapter 412
Scarlet strutted into the room, her eyes immediately catching sight of Moss and Beck. They had crossed paths before at a Bryant family event in Maple Grove. Scarlet narrowed her eyes, not needing a crystal ball to figure out why they were here. They were obviously here to back up their sister, Aisha.
"Are you folks from Club 257? You must be Miss Scarlet," Gregory stepped forward, his voice dripping with forced charm. His earlier arrogance had vanished, replaced by a tone that was almost servile. "Gregory, right?" Scarlet sized him up, her striking phoenix eyes narrowing slightly. Gregory beamed, thrilled she remembered his name, and quickly replied, "Yes, I—"
"Bad luck," Scarlet cut him off, stepping back like he carried the plague. "Who gave you the right to use my name?" She wasn't about to show the patience Moss might have. "Look at yourself. You're a waste of oxygen when you're alive and a waste of ground when you're dead."
"You..." Gregory, seething with anger and embarrassment, pointed a finger at her. Scarlet didn't waste a second; she kicked his knee hard. Gregory buckled, barely keeping himself from collapsing by bracing his hands on the ground. Scarlet then stomped on his pointing hand.
Gregory's screams echoed through the room, sending shivers down everyone's spines. Scarlet was gorgeous, her figure enough to stop traffic, but right now, all they saw was a 'femme fatale.'
After dishing out her punishment, Scarlet felt a wave of satisfaction. She scanned the room, her gaze finally landing on Aisha. She walked over, her tone suddenly friendly: "You must be Aisha. Wow, your skin is so fair." She pinched Aisha's cheek lightly. "A bit dry though, you should take care of that."
Scarlet's demeanor was as casual as could be, her laughter hearty, completely ignoring Gregory writhing in pain on the floor as if she hadn't been the one to put him there. Aisha could sense her good intentions but was left bewildered. Moss and Beck were equally confused. This woman was a whirlwind of emotions, incredibly bold.
Beck furrowed his brows, a light bulb finally going off. He remembered seeing Scarlet at the Bryant family's doorstep; she was from Club 257! Back then, Connor had carried her friend. She was the only one, besides Flora, who had managed to stir emotions in their boss. The fact that Club 257 showed up at Gale Corporation at the same time - could it be their boss had been in touch with Scarlet and had her bring Club 257 to support Aisha?NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Beck's conclusion left him shocked. It seemed like their boss had betrayed Flora... had an affair! His face was a kaleidoscope of emotions, but no one could guess what he was thinking.
Scarlet placed a reassuring hand on Aisha's shoulder: "Sister, tell me, how many people at Gale Corporation have messed with you? Now that I'm here, let's settle the score!"
Hearing this, some shareholders who had supported Gregory and badmouthed Aisha in secret shrank back, their necks retreating in fear. They had all witnessed Scarlet's no-nonsense approach, and they knew she wouldn't hesitate to use her fists.
Aisha was still in a daze, unable to comprehend why Scarlet was being so kind to her, but she held her questions back in front of the crowd. "Why don't I take you to the conference room first and introduce you to our Al robot program?"
