Scarlett’s POV:
The next morning, I finally saw the sun in the sky.
As the sunlight scattered through the clouds, it slowly dispelled the haze in the air.I got a text from
Charles while I was on my way to work.
"Caroline, I have been discharged from the hospital, and I want to thank you for taking care of me."
Snorting in my heart, I typed a reply, "I did it for James, not for you!"
A long time later, he sent me another text, "Don’t forget to come to our family dinner on Friday.I will
arrange it if you want to be alone with the kids."
"Okay," I replied immediately.
The very thought of seeing my kids on Friday was enough to cheer me up.I felt that even Charles had
become less annoying now.
By the time I walked into the company, I saw Sofia waiting for me in my office.
"Miss Wilson, I’ve signed the contract.When can we start the shoot?" Sofia asked with a smile.
After thinking for a moment, I replied, "The official shoot will begin in a few more days.But there is a
groundbreaking ceremony in two days, and I want you to accompany me to the event."
"Okay."
"Many celebrities and reporters will be present there, so you need to be prepared.If you need anything,
just give me a call, okay?" I reminded her softly.
Sofia nodded in reply with a grateful expression.
"Miss Wilson, William came to see me a few days ago, knowing that I gave birth to his child."
Sofia sounded very calm.It almost seemed like she did not really care much about William.
"Did he really manage to find out about you that soon?" I was surprised.
It was evident that William attached great importance to his child.
In fact, it was Sofia’s coldness towards William that surprised me.
"He wanted to see the child, but I refused," Sofia replied casually.
"What’s your plan, then?" I knew that William was not the type to give up easily.
And Sofia was not in a place to go up against him.
"I heard that his family is urging him to get married, and I am guessing that’s the reason he approached
me and my child, but I won’t let him have his way," Sofia said firmly.
"Just stick to your decision."
I admired her firm attitude towards him, and I did not want to get tangled with William again.
After seeing her off, I made a call to the public relations department.
Soon, a really admirable woman walked into my office.
"Miss Wilson, what can I do for you?" Victoria Melford stood in front of me, smiling brightly.
"I want to host a groundbreaking ceremony for the east bank project in a few days."
"Okay, I’ll arrange it right away."
I fell in deep thought after she left my office.
That moment, Elena walked into my office after finishing her work.
"Elena, once the invitation of the groundbreaking ceremony is ready, send one to Adam."
Although Adam and I didn’t get along with each other, we still had to pretend like we were family on the
surface.
Elena nodded in reply.
"Should I send one to Mr.Moore as well?" she asked right before she left.
I was stunned for a moment before I gave her a nod.
"Yes.We may cooperate with the Moore Group in the future, so it is important for us to be on good
terms with them."It was clearly an excuse to convince myself.When I looked at Elena’s meaningful
gaze, I couldn’t help blushing.
"By the way, I’ve got another task for you," I added, thinking of something.
Elena looked at me with a puzzled expression.I signaled her to come closer and whispered something
in her ear.
Elena’s POV:
Once I got the invitation card, I left the company and drove to Adam’s racecourse.I vaguely heard his
roar when I got there.
Looking around, I frowned.
There were fewer staff of the racecourse, and the place looked more depressing than ever.I heard that
the racecourse was not doing well lately, and I did not believe it until I saw it with my eyes now.
Setting my doubts aside, I knocked on the door of Adam’s office.
The roar from inside stopped at once.
Soon, the door was opened.
Looking at me, Adam asked in surprise, "What are you doing here? Did Caroline send you?"
"The groundbreaking ceremony of the project will be held in a few days and Miss Wilson specially
asked me to invite you," I said flatly, handing him the invitation.
Adam took it from my hand with a sneer.
"So I am supposed to go just because Caroline invited me, huh? Does she really think that she is my
boss?"
I frowned with displeasure and reminded him in a low voice, "You are a major shareholder of the
company.If you don’t attend such important occasions, then what do you think the media will say about
it?"
"Who do you think you are? And what makes you think that you’re in any place to tell me what I can
and can’t do? Go back to your Caroline, and tell her this isn’t over!"
Adam sneered in a voice filled with disdain.
"You’d better worry about yourself!"
With a cold glare, I was about to leave.
However, Adam’s men surrounded me.
They were strong and fierce.
They were all looking at me vulgarly.
Their lewd thoughts were not that hard to figure out.
I turned to Adam again and glared at him.
"Elena, my subordinates haven’t gotten laid in a while, and that’s why they are not able to control their
urges.Please don’t take it personally."
Even though Adam seemingly sounded sorry, he was also not asking his men to stop.
"Let’s see what they’ve got."
Sneering fiercely, I rolled up my sleeves.
A while later, those men were on the ground, whining and grimacing.
"Adam, your men are not as strong as you make them sound.And looks like your racecourse will be
shut down soon."
With that, I turned around and left.
After walking out of the racecourse, I drove around aimlessly for a while before I returned to the
company to report to Caroline.
"Miss Wilson, I didn’t see Susan there, and I don’t think that the racecourse can stay in business for
long."
"Adam is not good at managing the place, so I am not even surprised," Caroline sneered.
