The Doted Lady Is So Wild

“Ethan, you would have such a day, looks like you’re short-lived.”

Scarlett walked to his side and hurriedly said, “No matter what, as long as Ethan is dead and we have the TNK Group in our hands, it will still earn profits. As long as we invest a bit more, we’ll be able to see the returns.”

Steve seemed very satisfied with her statement and couldn’t help raising her chin. “Scarlett, then I’ll leave the rest to you.”

There was a flash of doubt in Scarlett’s eyes. Steve then said, “Now that I don’t have a single cent left in my account, even if I want to invest, I don’t have capital. So, I can only rely on you…”

Scarlett was rather stunned.

It was the first time that she had seen someone describe a man who lives off a woman as so fresh and refined.

“But, I… I don’t have much money.”

However, Steve comforted her. “Don’t worry. Your investment will be rewarded. With my management, there won’t be any problems.”

Hearing his words, Scarlett had no choice but to agree.

The two of them hugged each other and walked out of the TNK Group. Then, they got into a black car.

Kristen thought that she had seen something wrong, but she didn’t expect to see the TNK Group. Hadn’t he been arrested by the police? Had he escaped?

When Kristen thought of everything that had happened recently, she finally understood. It turned out that everything had something to do with Steve Collins. He had stolen the TNK Group with Scarlett Alene.

Kristen took out her phone and called Jorden. “Bro, did Steve escape?”

Jorden did not understand what Kristen meant, so he asked, “He should be in prison now. Why did he come out?”

Kristen was also confused. She would never mistake him for someone else. It was Steve Collins. “I saw him in Nangania just now…”

As soon as Jorden heard this, she became nervous. “Kristen, don’t be impulsive. You are no match for him. Don’t move. I will arrange someone to assist you.”

Kristen made a sound of agreement and got the chauffeur to follow them.

“Bro, I’ll call the police.”

Jorden thought it was feasible. “You can call the police on the premise that you are safe.”

Kristen hung up the phone and dialed 110 directly. After telling the policeman the whole thing, the policemen answered, “We’ll arrange for someone to go there immediately. Please keep the phone open.”

“Okay.”

Kristen narrowed her eyes and looked at the car in front of her. Her heart sank. “Follow me closely. Don’t lose me.”

The chauffeur followed Kristen’s instructions and kept a distance from the car in front of them.

Scarlett sensed that something was wrong. She looked at the car behind her through the rearview mirror and said in a bad tone, “Steve, I’m afraid we’ve been targeted.”

Steve followed her line of sight and couldn’t help snorting.

“Increase the speed of the car and find a way to get rid of him.”

After that, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped along the road like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

Seeing this, Kristen could roughly guess that the other party had discovered them. However, at this moment, the mobile phone in her hand rang. “Miss, our men have set up the checkpoints around and will intercept them two kilometers later.”

Kristen said, “All right, I understand.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Then she hung up the phone.

Seeing that he couldn’t get rid of them, Steve couldn’t help cursing in a low voice. However, the driver said, “Mr. Collins, there are policemen ahead.”

These words sent Steve into a panic.

“Damn it! What is going on here?”

Steve then looked at Scarlett. “Is that you?”

Scarlett was confused too and quickly explained, “Ting, why would I call the police? This has nothing to do with me.”

Steve didn’t believe her, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Stop.”

The driver quickly stopped the car. Steve flipped over and got out of the car directly. Immediately, the car started up again and drove out. Steve quickly got into the bushes next to him. His movements were very fast. While it was dark, he was not discovered at all.

The roadblock stopped Scarlett’s car but did not see Steve Collins.

Scarlett said to the police with a smile, “Officers, are you mistaken? We are all honest and good citizens. We will not do anything illegal.”

The leader of the policemen wrinkled his brows. He saw that he could not find anything and let Scarlett go.

When Scarlett’s car left, Kristen’s car pulled over.

“Miss Healey!” The leader took the initiative to greet Kristen.

Kristen asked, “How was it? Did you catch him?”

“I’m sorry, Miss Healey. The person you mentioned is not here.”

Kristen was astonished. “How is that possible? I saw it with my own eyes…”

Immediately, her phone rang and Kristen answered the call.

“How is it? Kristen, have you found it?”

Kristen pursed her lips and explained to Jorden, “I didn’t find anything…”

Jorden comforted her. “It’s okay, Kristen. I’ll ask my men to go to the police station in Tornzia tomorrow. You don’t have to worry too much.”

Kristen agreed. Despite her doubts, she still said, “I understand.”

By the time she hung up the phone, the person Jorden had arranged had already arrived.

“Miss, let’s send you back.”

Kristen wanted to reject her brother’s offer, but this was his kindness. She agreed and apologized to the crowd before asking the driver to drive the car back.

However, Kristen did not know that after she left, a slender figure came out of the bushes.

Steve looked gloomily toward where Kristen had disappeared.

“So, it’s you, Kristen. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me…”

Steve lowered the hat on her head and left from another direction.

The next morning.

Kristen arrived at the set early, but she hadn’t had a good rest last night. She yawned several times in a row. Even so, she forced herself to stay awake and try to film every scene.

However, at noon, many reporters came to visit the set. As the leading actress, the production crew arranged an interview for Kristen.

Thus, Kristen was surrounded by reporters as soon as she returned.

“Miss Healey, I heard that you play the female lead in this drama, is that true? How did you get that role?” The reporter’s voice was filled with gunpowder the moment he spoke.

Kristen raised her eyes subconsciously, glanced at her, then said with a smile, “Every role needs to submit the information, audition, and final confirmation after several selections held by the director and producer.”

The reporter continued, “If that’s the case, it means that Miss Healey’s capabilities cannot be underestimated. If so, why are there rumors that Miss Healey was able to get this role by relying on the previous boss, Mr. Wharton of the TNK Group?”

Hearing this, Kristen narrowed her eyes.

She had sensed that the other party had not come with good intentions.
