Chapter 82

Before he left, he turned around and gave Scarlett a cold look

"Dey taking away the marriage doesn't mean Gatsby Group will do the same. Eventually, he'll be the Jackman family's son-in-law Don't think you can get him to go against his whole family for you with just a few sweet nothings"

He left this sentence and turned to walk to the opposite men's toilet.

Staring at the aloot and distant back, Scarlett breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Every time she taced Sebastian, she would feel an indescribable sense of nervousness.

She didn't know if she was afraid of him or if she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and express her feelings towards him.

Fortunately, she had acted on a whim just now and had said that she had not had any feelings for him.

Otherwise, if Sebastian found out about her little thoughts, she wouldn't know how he would laugh at her and how he would misunderstand her. Scarlett put away her chaotic emotions, turned around and walked to the sink. After pretending to wash her hands, she walked out.

As Dev searched for Scarlett, Iris continually pestered him, causing him to frown in annoyance.

When he saw Scarlett walking out of the bathroom while shaking her hands that were covered with water, he quickly pushed Iris away and walked over. "Miss Sales, let's go back first."

Scarlett nodded and looked at Iris thoughtfully with an indifferent gaze.

Iris thought of how she had slapped her impulsively just now and was afraid that she would complain to Dev. Her eyes lit up with a warning.

Scarlett found it amusing when she slapped her and feared she would blurt it out; Iris was really pushing it.

She really wanted to give Iris a slap, but this was Wen family's territory.

If she made a move in front of everyone, those who did not know would definitely think that she was bullying others.

She did not want to be the focus of attention, to be criticized, and she also did not want to be hated by Wen family after making a move.

Scarlett endured this, thinking she'd replace a chance to return it later.

'Let's go

She walked down the stairs and Dev took the opportunity to hold her hand.

He originally wanted to hold her hand down the stairs and let go, but when he lowered his head, he accidentally saw the palm print on her face.

"What is going on?"

Dev's gentle face suddenly sank.

He raised his hand to touch Scarlett's slightly swollen face, and a trace of heartache subconsciously appeared in his eyes When he saw the emotions he revealed, Scarlett was slightly stunned. Dev actually cared for her?

Dev asked in a deep voice, "Who hit you?"

Scarlett saw that he was interrogating her and seemed to want to stand up for her.

She hesitated for a moment but still did not speak.

She felt that Dev might not go replace her good friend's sister to settle the score for her.

She kept silent, which made Iris feel relieved.

Dev had always been good at observing people's expressions. When he saw Iris sigh in relief, he immediately understood what was going on

No wonder Iris had been pestering him when he went to look for Scarlett just now. It turned out that she had hit his woman while he was away!

Dev's cold eyes swept coldly at Iris. "Miss Wen, I brought a female companion to your house as a guest, but you beat my people openly. Is this Wen family's upbringing?"

When Iris saw that Dev found out that it was her who hit her so quickly, her heart skipped a beat and was soon dispersed by

anger.

He actually didn't even ask and directly defended Scarlett. This was too much of a bully!

Miss Wen's temper immediately burst out, "Brother Dev, you didn't even ask who hit you, and you directly came to blame me. How can you do this!"

"So you didn't hit me?" Dev's expression became cold.

Iris felt a little guilty under his gaze, so she changed her words. "Even, even if I did, you didn't even ask for the reason. It would be too unreasonable for you to speak of me like this." Dev snorted coldly. "I know very well what kind of person Miss Sales is. Why do I need to ask?"

Iris did not expect that he would say this to her for a female companion. She was so angry that her face turned red and white. "Brother Dev, how can you do this to me...

Dev was too lazy to watch her act. He said coldly, "Apologize to Miss Sales!"

Although Everan was his good friend, he was not familiar with Iris. He had only met her a few times, so he naturally would not give her face.

"Brother Dev, you're being so mean to me!" Iris was so angry that tears streamed down her face.

The crying of the little girl quickly attracted the attention of the crowd. Everyone was holding red wine and watching the show from the side, but no one came forward to help Iris.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Iris quickly pointed at Scarlett and slandered her, "She scolded me first with unbearable words. I lost my temper for a moment and lost my mind to slap her. If not for her stirring up trouble, I wouldn't have done this. I was not wrong!"
