Chapter 329

I raised my eyebrows. “Bingo!”

Seeing my reaction, he hesitated before saying, “Letty, you really don't care for your biologicalparents?”

I glanced at him again and frowned. “You've mentioned this at least a few times. Wasn't I clearenough? They've abandoned me, so that means they no longer wanted me. If I keep thinking aboutthis, I can't move on. Why not let go and move on?”

He nodded, seemingly preoccupied.

My car came to a stop at John's villa. I turned my head and realized he was deep in thought.

It took him a while to snap back to reality. “Letty, do you still hate me?” he asked in a seriousmanner.

I was taken aback. "Huh?"

"About Macy, and how I tortured you.” His voice grew softer. This is unlike him.

My mouth snapped shut as my expression darkened. “John, that's in the past. Let's not talk about itanymore.”

“So? Do you still hate me?”

As he insisted on getting an answer like a stubborn child, I was astonished. “It's over. Besides, it wasjust a harmless threat. But for Macy, the painful memory would remain with her forever.”

Humans were complicated beings. I used to fear John, but now I relied on him as though he was myfamily. To a certain extent, I was very much like Sally, placing profits before feelings.

After a long silence, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “One day, if you found out I did something toharm you, will you forgive me?”

My eyes widened at his sudden question. “What did you do? Why would you need me to forgiveyou?"

He pressed on, “Will you?”

As he refused to answer my question, I pouted and responded, “Well, it depends on howoutrageously wrong you are. John, you know me better than I do. I won't forgive you if you go pastmy bottom line. So, don't do anything to harm me. Let's be siblings forever, alright?”

He reached his hand out and pulled me into his arms. “Mm, we'll be siblings forever. Your parentsaren't with you, but you have me and Uncle Louis. We'll be your family forever.”

I nodded. Strangely, my sixth sense told me he was hiding something from me.

Yet, I knew he wouldn't say anything even if I urged him to.

Sighing, I pulled away. “It's late. Time to go home!”

After dropping John off, I returned to the villa.

It was already 10 p.m., so I was utterly shocked to see Rebecca waiting there.

Does she think this is her house? She comes and goes as she likes!

The moment she spotted me, she stood in my way as her lips drew back in a snarl. “Well, well. Lookwho's back home late at night. Scarlett, you can't stop being a player, huh? Now that Ash isn'thome, you're acting like a horse that had just broken free from its reins.”

Rebecca was the most incompetent love rival I've ever seen. If it weren't for Parker, she wouldn'teven get to be here right now.

I glanced at her briefly and suggested, “Ms. Larson, why don’t you rent a room here? If you agree topay rent, I can consider renting out a spare room so you don’t have to waste time traveling.”

“Hey!” She pointed at me angrily.

I cut her off sternly. “It's late. Please leave now, Ms. Larson!”

With that, I spun around and strode toward the kitchen.

Rebecca refused to leave and grabbed my arm. “Scarlett, I swear I'll drag you down with me! Youwanted to avenge your dead child, right?” She sneered. “Let me tell you the truth. Even if my motherdid nothing to hurt you, your child will die soon from his abnormality.”

Slap! I gave Rebecca a tight slap without hesitation. “Rebecca, don't cross the line. My child isalready dead. Why would you curse him? You're such a wicked woman.”

As I used up all my energy to slap her, Rebecca's head whipped aside. It took her a while to regainher composure. With that, she flew into a fit of anger. “Scarlett, how dare you slap me?".

I tamped down my irritation and ignored her. During dinner, I drank some cold juice, so my stomachwas protesting slightly.

Every month, my period would torture me greatly. It was not easy to be a woman.

Mrs. Eriksen was still up and about. She came out of her room to welcome me home. At the sight ofRebecca, she frowned in displeasure. “Ms. Larson, you're still here?”
