Chapter 9 There’s Something Wrong with the Porridge!
“That is, in that man’s heart, you’re not worth his money. To put it bluntly, he’s just playing around with you, so he’s reluctant to spend money on you!”
Hearing Chloe Redford’s words, Scarlett Darcy naturally related them to herself and felt that she was far less important than Chloe Redford in Jasper Ellis’s heart.
At this moment, she couldn’t sit still anymore and just wanted to go to Jasper Ellis and ask him clearly.
“I just remembered that I have something else to do, so I’ll be leaving now.”
Scarlett Darcy was absent–minded as she

picked up her bag and prepared to leave, but then she saw the porridge on the table.
She had originally thought that since Chloe Redford was already injured and couldn’t go to the banquet, she wouldn’t let her drink the porridge.
Now that she was in so much pain, she naturally couldn’t let Chloe Redford feel good!
“I almost forgot. I haven’t let you taste the porridge I made yet.”
As she spoke, regardless of whether Chloe Redford was willing or not, Scarlett Darcy went straight to the kitchen to get a bowl and a spoon.
When the casserole was opened, the porridge inside was still steaming, and it was

obviously very hot.
Scarlett Darcy scooped a bowl of porridge and tried to stuff it into Chloe Redford’s
hand.
“Try it quickly!”
She couldn’t wait to see Chloe Redford’s embarrassed appearance when the medicine in the porridge took effect. She had put a sufficient amount of medicine in it, which would definitely make Chloe Redford suffer terribly!
Chloe Redford hadn’t thought much about it at first, but when she saw Scarlett Darcy’s expectant look, her intuition told her that there must be something wrong with the porridge.
She suddenly remembered that in her

previous life, at this exact time, she had suddenly suffered from gastroenteritis and missed the dinner party.
She had always been in good health, and that bout of gastroenteritis had come out of nowhere. She remembered that she had fallen ill after drinking the soup cooked by Scarlett Darcy at that time.
Chloe Redford looked at the bowl of porridge and then at Scarlett Darcy, who was eagerly looking at her, hoping that she would finish the porridge. She became even more certain that there was definitely something wrong with the porridge.
She pushed away the bowl that Scarlett Darcy was holding out.
“Just leave it there. I’m not hungry now!”

“Try it first. Eat it while it’s hot!”
During the pushing and shoving, the bowl of porridge in Scarlett Darcy’s hand was knocked over onto the floor. The scalding porridge spilled out and splashed onto Scarlett Darcy’s back of the hand. Her fair skin immediately turned red.
At this moment, the door happened to open. As soon as Jasper Ellis entered the door, he saw the two women standing there, the spilled porridge on the floor, and following the porridge, he could see Chloe Redford’s severely swollen ankle.
He quickly walked up to Chloe Redford, picked her up, and gently placed her on the sofa..
“What’s wrong with your foot? It’s so swollen. Have you been to the hospital?”

Scarlett Darcy stood there, watching as Jasper Ellis completely ignored her. She was already unhappy in her heart, and now she felt even more bitter.,
She had such a big burn on her hand. Couldn’t he see it?
“What are you standing there for? Go and clean up the mess on the floor!”
In her moment of distress, Jasper Ellis actually asked her to clean up the garbage!
At this moment, the grievances in Scarlett Darcy’s heart could no longer be hidden, and her eyes filled with tears.
She said in a muffled voice that she understood, picked up the tissues on the table, and squatted down to deal with the

mess on the floor.
The red burn on the back of her hand was exposed, and it was hard to ignore.
But Jasper Ellis was now focused on looking at Chloe Redford’s foot injury, and all her thoughts were in vain.
“Jasper Ellis, my foot is fine. Scarlett’s hand is burned.”
Chloe Redford spoke up to remind him. It wasn’t that she really cared about Scarlett Darcy, but she just wanted to add insult to injury.
Jasper Ellis turned around and saw that Scarlett Darcy’s back of the hand was indeed red and swollen, and it seemed that the injury was quite serious.

When he looked up, he met Scarlett Darcy’s resentful and aggrieved gaze. Thinking of his attitude just now, he felt a bit guilty.
“How did you burn your hand like this?”
At this moment, Scarlett Darcy’s tears were like a floodgate had been opened, falling one by one.
She didn’t say anything, just kept her head down and wiped the floor. Her appearance made Jasper Ellis feel even more heartbroken and sorry.
“Don’t do these things when you’re injured!”
Jasper Ellis stepped forward and pulled her up, accidentally touching Scarlett Darcy’s wound, which caused a cry of pain.
“Ah!”

Scarlett Darcy covered her hand, looking like she was in great pain.
At this moment, Jasper Ellis didn’t care that Chloe Redford was still there. He pulled Scarlett Darcy’s wrist and gently blew on it.
“How did you get hurt like this?”
“I…”
Scarlett Darcy sobbed and answered in a low voice.
“When I was serving porridge to Chloe just now, I accidentally spilled the porridge.”
“I’ll go get the first aid kit. Don’t move.”
As he spoke, Jasper Ellis was about to go and find the first aid kit. Only then did he

remember that he was at Chloe Redford’s house.
Chloe Redford was still there, and he had been a bit too excited.just now.
Chloe Redford looked coldly at the two of them “revealing their true feelings” in front of her and felt indescribable disgust.
But now the control of the company was still in Jasper Ellis’s hands, and she couldn’t reveal her true feelings yet.
“The first aid kit is in the cabinet in the
entrance hall. Go and get it.”
Chloe Redford pretended not to notice Jasper Ellis’s abnormality and just acted like a careless fool as usual.
Jasper Ellis heaved a sigh of relief. After

getting the first aid kit, he deliberately avoided suspicion and asked Scarlett Darcy to deal with the injury herself.
“I think Scarlett’s injury is quite serious, Jasper Ellis. You should take her to the hospital and have a look. Don’t let it leave a scar”
Jasper Ellis took a look at Scarlett Darcy’s hand injury. It was indeed quite serious. And she was still pregnant. If the child was affected, it wouldn’t be a small matter.
“What about your foot…”
“I’m fine. You take Scarlett to the hospital quickly!”
Chloe Redford waved her hand to let the two of them go. Jasper Ellis was too lazy to pretend anymore at this moment. After

giving a few instructions, he took Scarlett Darcy and left.
Anyway, with Chloe Redford’s mind, she would never think that there was anything wrong between him and Scarlett Darcy.
After the two of them left, Chloe Redford was left alone in the room.
Looking at the pot of porridge on the table, a cold glint appeared in her eyes.
After leaving Chloe Redford’s place, Scarlett Darcy hugged herself with both hands and refused to let Jasper Ellis get close to her.
Jasper Ellis just thought that Scarlett Darcy’s little temper was because he had ignored her just now.
He had really done the wrong thing in this

matter.

But at that time, Chloe Redford was also there. Did she expect him to care about her first? Even if Chloe Redford was stupid, she would be suspicious!
After getting in the car, Jasper Ellis drove silently towards the hospital. He held Scarlett Darcy’s hand with one hand and coaxed her softly,
“Are you still angry? Does your hand hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
When facing Jasper Ellis, Scarlett Darcy always knew when to stop and how to control this man.
She turned her face away, and her silent crying was reflected in the car window, making people feel sorry for her.

Jasper Ellis naturally saw it too. He simply parked the car on the side of the road.
“Look how wronged you are. You’re crying like a little kitten.”
Scarlett Darcy slapped his hand away and snorted coldly.
“I can cry if I want to. Anyway, you don’t care about me. Me and the child together are not as important as Chloe Redford!”
Jasper Ellis liked Scarlett Darcy’s jealous look the most. He gently pinched Scarlett Darcy’s face.
“What nonsense are you talking? Don’t you know where my heart is? You’re carrying my child in your belly. I don’t even want to touch Chloe Redford!”

This sentence successfully made Scarlett Darcy’s face light up with a smile, and she said coquettishly,
“Have you really never touched her?”
Jasper Ellis thought of something, and disgust filled his eyes.
“You told me those things. Do you think I would still touch her? Such an unchaste woman. I think she’s dirty even to touch!”
Scarlett Darcy leaned on Jasper Ellis’s shoulder, and her proud face was reflected in the rearview mirror.
“Jas, now that Chloe Redford has a foot injury and can’t go to the dinner party, can I go with you?”

Jasper Ellis let out a “hmm“.
Scarlett Darcy got up and planted a kiss on his lips, then looked up at the man.
“Then, can I choose a high–end customized dress and a bag?”
“Of course you can!”
Jasper Ellis readily agreed. Scarlett Darcy excitedly put her arms around Jasper Ellis’s neck.
“I knew you loved me the most! Jas, look, I want this!”
Scarlett Darcy took out her phone and showed a dress that she had long taken a fancy to.
When Jasper Ellis saw the brand, the smile

on his face gradually froze.
