“You-” East started to say, but Scarlett cut him off.
He turned to look at her, his eyebrows furrowed.
“I’ll handle my own issues,” Scarlett dered.

Seeing the determination in her eyes, East didn’t argue further. He nodded and continued <i>to </i>stand
protectively behind her.
Scarlett then turned her gaze to Irene, a slight smile ying on her lips.
“What are you smiling about?” Irene demanded.
“I’m smiling because I never thought I’d see the day when I’d be mocked and warned by a homewrecker,”
Scarlett replied.
Irene was taken aback, her face instantly changing color. “W–what are you talking about!?”
“Irene Gonzalez, born in 1970, dropped out of school as a teenager to work. Later, you got involved with a
man in his thirties. When his wife found out, she forced you two to break up. At twenty, you met Lucian Lowe
at a bar, fell head over heels despite knowing he had a family, and got pregnant. You even took the child to
confront his wife, which led to Lucian Lowe…”
Scarlett was interrupted mid–sentence by Irene’s loud outburst, “Shut up, just shut up!” Irene red at
Scarlett, her eyes zing with anger. “What nonsense are you spewing?!”
Her intense reaction only confirmed the saying, “The guilty mind speaks volumes.”
“Nonsense? Perhaps <i>you </i>could ask Jerry, Lucian’s biological son. I bet he witnessed the whole incident and

knows exactly what happened,” Scarlett replied casually.
Irene clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on Scarlett, trembling with rage.
How did she know all this?
+5 coins
Especially about the time when she was a teenager and involved with a man–a secret she never shared.
When she was with Lucian, she told him it was her first time… How did Scarlett know?
Irene’s eyes were filled with fear and hatred as she looked at Scarlett.
Seeing Irene fall silent, Scarlett raised an eyebrow, “What’s the matter, Ms. Gonzalez? Do you need me to
verify my ims?”
“Scarlett, do you believe I can sue you for defamation?” Irene said, enunciating each word clearly.
“Go ahead, I’m waiting. If you don’t, you’re a coward!” Scarlett replied, staring her down.
“You-” Irene was furious. “You uncultured brat!” She raised her hand, ready to p Scarlett.
East saw what was happening and was about to intervene, but Scarlett effortlessly caught Irene’s hand.
Irene’s attempt to strike was thwarted, her hand tightly held, and she looked at Scarlett in disbelief. “Let go of
me!”
“Ms. Gonzalez, I despise homewreckers. You’ve dared to nder me today, and this isn’t the first time you’ve
angered me!”
Before Irene <i>could </i>react, Scarlett pped her hard across the face.
Irene was stunned.

She never expected Scarlett to hit her.
Holding her cheek, she was at a loss for words.
“Considering you’re Yale’s mother, I tolerated you once. This time, you brought it upon yourself!” Scarlett said,
her words deliberate and cutting.
“You dared to hit me?” Irene was furious, feeling her dignity crumble in front of everyone.
“One p was just a lesson. Don’t show up in front of me again, or it won’t be just a p next time!” With
that, Scarlett turned and walked away.
As Irene tried to lunge forward, East and Ethan stepped in front of her.
“Shawna, call security. Tell them someone’s causing trouble.”
“Got it!” Shawna replied and quickly ran off to get help.
“Let’s see who dares to touch me! Do you know who I am? I’m the mother of the heir to the Lowe Family business. Do you know who’s backing the Lowe Family now? It’s the Hodges Group. Let’s see who dares to
on </i>me!” Irene threatened.
The security hesitated upon hearing this.
Ethan waved dismissively, “Drag her <i>out</i>. What good is backing from the Hodges Group? We’ve got Hodges
Family right here.”
“Don’t worry, if anything happens<b>, </b>I’ve got it covered!” East assured the group.
Hearing this, the security team had no qualms about dragging Irene away.
“Let go of me, let go!” she shouted. “I’m calling the police!”

Irene wasn’t bluffing; she actually called the police.
When the officers arrived to ask questions, East looked around and asked, “Did anyone see Ms. Adler make a
move?”
“Nope!”
“Didn’t see a thing!”
“She was the one yelling and trying to start something!” chimed in the programming department and even
Shawna from the front desk.
Irene was left speechless, her face turning red with frustration.
“You’re all lying! You saw it happen…” she fumed, “You’re all under her spell, you’re all in cahoots!” She turned
to the officers, “She did hit me…”
Then, noticing a camera above, she pointed at it and said, “There’s a camera right there. We can check the
footage!”
East turned to look at the camera and nodded, “Sure, no problem!”
So, they went straight to the surveince room to check the footage. The video showed that it was Irene who
tried to make a move, while Scarlett only held her back without actually hitting her.
Seeing this, Irene couldn’t believe her eyes. “This footage must be wrong! There’s something wrong here!”
The police seemed to understand the situation, especially since the footage clearly showed Irene’s actions.
While not illegal, it crossed a moral line, which is a matter of ethics.

“Alright, there’s no witness or physical evidence. If you really want to press charges, you’ll need to get a
medical report on any injuries and bring it back.”
Hearing this, Irene frowned. “Are you saying you’re not going to do anything? Is this how you handle things?
Do you believe I’ll file aint against you?”
The officer perked up at this. “Aint? I’m following thew, asking you to follow procedures. What’s the
problem? If you want toin, go ahead. Here’s my badge number, don’t forget it!” With that, he put on
his hat and walked away.
Irene was left standing there, feeling lost.
East raised an eyebrow, looking at Irene. “So, do you want to sit in the conference room for a bit before you
leave?”
Looking at him, Irene gave a cold smile. “Just you wait. I won’t let this go so easily!” With that, she stood up
and left without another word.
Today, she had truly lost face!
In the conference room.
Scarlett knew that Irene had called the police and was about to get up when Ethan stopped her. “Don’t worry,
East Hayes has already taken care of everything!”
