Henry asked, "You didn''t forget about Luna, did you?"


    Scarlett''s face darkened slightly. "Of course I didn''t forget that bitch. Because of her, the Driscoll family still can''t move freely in Blumedale. But this time, no matter how capable she is, she won''t be able to stop my n. Truth is, I was the one behind the parasite poisoning incident in Gabo Creek."


    She continued, "And now, Derek''s chief of staff, Chantelle, is already heading over to investigate. This is my first step in taking Derek down. Hank, that pervert in Special Ops, is going to help me finish the job perfectly."


    Henry pped his hands, his expression full of admiration. "Scarlett, now I believe you might just have what it takes to sit at the top of the Union. Your setup, one move leading into the next... I have to say, I''m impressed." Scarlett looked even more pleased with herself. Her eyes swept across the room andnded on Andrew. She asked, "So, how''s the hypnosis going on that little bastard?"


    Henry nodded, then shook his head. "It''s going okay, but pretty soon, he''ll be fully under my control."


    Scarlett''s eyes grew wary as she nced at Eric''s back. "You teaming up with Mr. Humphrey is a deadlybo. It''s such a shame for the Driscoll family. No matter how hard they tried to please Mr. Humphrey, he never gave them the time of day."


    Henry puffed out his chest and grinned slyly. "Well, of course. My charm isn''t something the Driscoll family canpete with."


    Scarlett let out a strangeugh and turned to leave. She was well aware that Henry''s so-called ''charm'' was just sleeping with Eric. Too bad Eric was not into women. Otherwise, she might have taken off her clothes and tried seducing him herself.


    Scarlett''s phone rang as soon as she stepped out of the vi.


    "Scarlett, I want some milk!" came the voice on the other end.


    She forced down her disgust and cooed, "Joseph, you''re so naughty. I''ll give you some when I get back, okay?"


    Joseph chuckled lewdly. "Then I''ll get us a room at the usual spot and wait for you!"


    After hanging up, Scarlett''s expression turned dark and grim. She was nearly 40 years old and had to entertain some horny 20-something punk like Joseph. Honestly, it disgusted her.


    Just thinking about that greedy brat crawling all over her made her want to crush his skull with her bare hands.


    However, Joseph was deeply favored by the Yeagers'' elders. If she wanted to poison someone, she still needed his help.


    Scarlett had never married or had children in her entire life. When it came to using men, she always knew when to stop and never let herself get too carried away. Her relentless pursuit of martial arts mastery, power, and status meant she could not afford to slow down for even a moment.


    Scarlett was a woman with massive ambition. Unfortunately, she ran into Andrew.


    Back in the vi, Eric had already finished the hypnosis session. Then, he and Henry headed upstairs together.


    Andrew''s expression had turned icy.


    So Scarlett was the one behind all the evil that happened in Gabo Creek?


    First, there was the parasite poison incident. So many innocent civilians were affected, and it was her doing.


    Now, she was nning to target Chantelle, using that as a move against Derek. What a ruthless two-birds- one-stone n.


    Hank''s abuse of Hannah from the Keller family was meant to crush thempletely, and Scarlett was behind it all.


    This woman clearly needed to be sent straight to hell.
