Chapter 43

After Scarlett had finished reading the news, she was left stunned in place..

What kind of power was it that enabled a giant to be defeated in a single night in A Town?

She suddenly recalled the masked man's words from the night before: James was not coming back.

He must have known in advance that James wouldn't return; could he have been the one responsible?

If it had been him who did it, then the masked man would not be a friend of James

Furthermore, it was inconceivable for James' good friend to possess the extraordinary resources necessary to annihilate Forrest Group in a single night.

Who could this "Mr. Yea" be?

Scarlett felt as if her head was about to explode.

Fortunately, James had been taken care of by someone, so she no longer had to fear.

However, having just escaped from James, she was now being targeted by other perverts.

Scarlett pondered it and went in search of the hotel manager to obtain the surveillance footage.

In the end, only the surveillance footage of James entering and then leaving her room was obtainable.

This further reinforced Scarlett's belief that the man was not ordinary.

No surveillance camera was present, the identity of the other person was unknown, and there was no evidence to take legal action against him.

Scarlett, confident that the man had not used Susan to threaten him, boldly went to the police station.

back home after completing all of this.

As soon as she opened the door, Susan appeared with a worried expression.

"Scarlett, where were you? You didn't answer my call."

Scarlett, only then picking up her phone, saw numerous missed calls from Susan.

She had been so focused on watching the news and checking the surveillance cameras in the hotel that she had not noticed the missed calls.

"I went out for a stroll. Maybe the mall was too noisy, so I didn't hear the phone."

In fact, she had slept so soundly that she didn't hear the phone ring; worried that Susan might be concerned, she casually replied.

Upon hearing Scarlett's explanation, Susan was relieved.

"Susan, shouldn't you and Cosmo go to Malaysia for a honeymoon today? Why are you

Susan and Cosmo had planned to honeymoon in Malaysia after getting married.

Susan had never traveled abroad, so she was eagerly anticipating her honeymoon trip.

Why hadn't she set off as planned?

back?"

"This morning, just as Cosmo and I went out, we met the community security guard. He said that last night, a group of men in black came to our door. They didn't enter the door, but stood at the door and waited for about half an hour before leaving. The security guard thought it was a little strange, but he thought that they were relatives of our family, so he didn't think too much about it. He only mentioned this when he met us."

"After I heard it. I felt that something was wrong, so I called you. You didn't answer the phone, and then I thought of the group of strange people who came to the wedding yesterday. I was worried that something would happen to you, so I rushed to replace you."

No wonder Susan hadn't gone on a honeymoon with Cosmo. It turned out that she was worried about her.

"I'm sorry. Susan."

Scarlett felt a little guilty and quickly explained, "I did encounter some trouble yesterday. There was a contract that was. very important to Mr. Forrest, but I kept delaying it and didn't give it to him. This made him fly into a rage out of humiliation. He directly barged into your wedding with Cosmo and even sent someone to your wedding room."

"He did this because he wanted the contract. However, I finally got the contract in the middle of the night and handed it to him. The matter was resolved and he would not come to me again."

Scarlett was afraid that Susan would worry about her, so she refrained from telling her about the rape the night before. She only gave her the explanation she needed to allay her fears.

"I thought that Mr. Forrest was threatening you yesterday. I didn't expect it to be like this!"

Once Susan had finished speaking, she anxiously scanned Scarlett from head to toe.

"Scarlett, he didn't do anything bad to you, did he?"

"No."

Scarlett shook her head.

When Susan saw the hickey on her neck, her expression froze instantly.
