Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

Meanwhile, Jennifer had been listening to their conversation. Her ears perked up. She raised her eyebrows, contemplating a new idea.

“Do you like cars, Jeremy? If you can get into a good college, I’ll make sure to get you the ride you want.”

Jeremy grew excited upon hearing this. He rushed to Jennifer’s side and said, “Really? Do you mean that? You’re not just messing around with me, are you?”

“Would I ever lie to you? Have I ever promised something to you and then not come through? No, right?” Jennifer said as she gently stroked his head.

Right then, Caroline came out wearing different clothes. She was wearing an outfit that Scarlett had never worn before. Each of the items still had the tags on. Shirley knew that Scarlett wouldn’t like the outfit, so she had really just chosen it for Caroline.

“Jeremy, racing cars is very dangerous! What do you need to be doing that for?” Caroline said as she walked toward them slowly, so she wouldn’t trip, wearing Scarlett’s long skirt. The floor-length skirt made her look dignified.

Shirley came to Scarlett and explained to her in whispers, “The dress Caroline was wearing had been ruined by the tea, so I just…”

“I see, and you did a great job. Thank you! Nothing to worry about,” Scarlett said quickly, compelling Shirley to retreat. Shirley took this as a sign that she hadn’t done anything wrong, so she scurried away without another word.

However, the fact was that Caroline had insisted on changing her clothes, so Shirley was left with no choice but to choose one skirt for her that Scarlett didn’t like. Since they had announced their wedding, the hottest designers from Irvine and beyond had taken it upon themselves to dispatch new clothes to the villa. Each hoped that Scarlett would pick them to supply her wardrobe. Whether she liked the item or not, each outfit, sent to the villa by some unwitting designer, ultimately found its way to her closet.

Jeremy looked at Caroline with disdain, “What’s wrong with you? Do you even know what men want? You obviously don’t because if you did, you wouldn’t still be single.”

Scarlett hid behind Francis’s shoulder and chuckled. Meanwhile, Skyler coughed to keep himself from laughing.

“How can you talk to your sister like that? How dare you start judging your sister at your age? Stop talking nonsense. Otherwise, I’ll have to ground you. Got it?” David was yelling now.

Suddenly, Jeremy scuttled towards Scarlett and took her arm, and said, “Now I have an amazing sister, and I don’t need you. So you’d better leave, and I’ll just live right here.”

Scarlett flicked his forehead and said, “You must be out of your mind if you think I’ll take you in.”

“Sis, don’t you like me?” Jeremy pouted and asked. Deep down, he felt wronged.

“You are so rude! Do you think I will take you in? Just like that?” Scarlett refused coldly.

Jeremy remained silent and cowered in the corner of the room.

Skyler sighed deeply and decided to go upstairs to check on Carlos.

Scarlett suddenly said, “Aren’t you busy? I think you can leave now, right?”

Francis pinched her cheek lightly and growled, “How can you talk to our guests like that? Scarlett, do you even realize how impolite you’re being right now?”

Scarlett folded her arms across her chest and pouted. She didn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, Francis was feeling immense pressure to handle the situation as best as he could. He couldn’t just let these people fight like cats and dogs right in front of him. So, trying to ease the situation, he turned around and said, “Oh, Scarlett is just kidding! You know how she can sometimes be. Please, do consider staying for lunch. It would be our pleasure to host you for lunch.”

Because David and Jennifer knew that they were not actually welcome visitors at the Sandler villa, they decided to say goodbye politely and just leave. After all, they might have an opportunity to do business with him later. It was in their best interest not to piss him off too much.

On the other hand, Jeremy didn’t want to leave. He stood completely still, staring right at Scarlett. However, Scarlett, being stubborn herself, crossed her arms in front of her chest and glared at him without blinking.

“Hey, kid, you’d better get going right now!” She gritted her teeth and said.

“Can I come here and hang out sometime? Maybe you could show me some racing basics…?” Jeremy asked tentatively.

“I don’t have time for that!” Scarlett refused.

He knitted his eyebrows and looked down at the floor.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Jennifer felt embarrassed and walked over to take Jeremy and said, “We are sorry for disturbing you! We’re terribly sorry for the inconvenience.”

After that, Jennifer rushed to leave with red eyes; Scarlett turned around and stared at Francis angrily.

“It’s not my fault. I didn’t invite them here! What are you blaming me for anyway? I didn’t do anything!” He raised his arms in surrender.

“I don’t believe what you’re saying right now, Francis!” She retorted.

“I can explain that!” Francis smiled.

Scarlett kept her arms crossed in front of her chest and said angrily, “I’ll take the Maserati!”

Upon hearing that, Francis stopped smiling and turned to go back into the house.

Scarlett was oblivious to it, but Francis’s temper was rising with each moment that passed.

“Hey, darling, I’m still mad at you!” She said, as she caught up with him and jumped on his back. Then, she whispered in his ear, “Please, just let me drive it for two months, okay?”

“Do you want me to take your driving license away?” He said seriously as he lugged her around on his back.

Scarlett felt disappointed and understood that her coyness wasn’t working. She wondered if her dream to race cars would stay a dream. She wondered if she could ever do it for real…

“I have bought two horses. How about we learn how to ride horses?” He coaxed her in a low voice.

Even though Scarlett was not happy, she said nothing more.
