Chapter 10 Scarlett Darcy Finally Attends the Dinner Party
He knew about the clothes of that brand. The cheapest one cost at least seven figures!
And the one Scarlett Darcy had taken a fancy to was the current season’s runway style. Not to mention the sky–high price, even if one had the money, it wasn’t certain that they could get this kind of dress!
He looked hesitant, but when he met Scarlett Darcy’s expectant face, his male pride prevented him from saying no.
Was he going to say that he had no money or connections and couldn’t get that dress?

Facing Scarlett Darcy’s expectant gaze, his male vanity made him agree readily.
Scarlett Darcy excitedly hugged Jasper Ellis’s neck.
“That’s great. I knew you loved me the most!”
What Jasper Ellis enjoyed the most was when Scarlett Darcy looked up at him with such adoring and infatuated eyes.
This was also the reason why he could tolerate Scarlett Darcy’s stupidity and incompetence.
Women! They don’t need to be so smart and capable. Just like Scarlett Darcy, this was the type that men liked the most!
Chloe Redford guessed correctly. There was indeed something added to that bowl of

porridge.
Looking at the report results in her hand, even though she had already guessed it, she couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.
Scarlett Darcy had added arsenic to the porridge!
This kind of poison, in mild cases, could make people vomit and have abdominal pain. In severe cases, it could cause nerve damage and even take a person’s life directly!
In fact, even now, Chloe Redford still didn’t understand why Scarlett Darcy had done this to her!
Back then in the orphanage, the matron was usually very busy and couldn’t take care of everything. There were always naughty

children who would bully others.
And Scarlett Darcy was the one that everyone could bully.
The first time Chloe Redford met Scarlett Darcy was exactly the day she first arrived at the orphanage.
She heard cries and shouts coming from the grass outside. When she went over to take a look, she saw a group of people gathered there, laughing and playing.
Chloe Redford originally didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business and was about to leave when she heard one of the children say,
“You clearly have a mother, but she doesn’t want you and left you in the orphanage. You’re a jinx, a nuisance!”

Perhaps it was because Scarlett Darcy’s cries were too shrill that day, or perhaps it was because she was also someone who had a mother but was. abandoned.
Anyway, that day Chloe Redford rushed into the crowd, took off the dog chain tied around Scarlett Darcy’s neck, and protected Scarlett Darcy behind her with her small body.
She didn’t know where she got the courage from, but she waved her fists and pounced on the tallest boy in front of her.
She got injured, but she also left a row of deep marks on the boy’s arm.
From then on, no one dared to bully Scarlett Darcy anymore, and Chloe Redford became the leader of the children in that orphanage.

She regarded Scarlett Darcy as another self. When protecting Scarlett Darcy, it was like protecting her former self who was rejected by her family.
Later, the Redford family came to the orphanage to look for her. Without any hesitation, she left the orphanage with Scarlett Darcy.
She found a school for Scarlett Darcy, arranged a place to live, and provided the best food, clothing, housing, and transportation!
Even though she was bullied in the Redford family, she had never let Scarlett Darcy suffer any hardship.
She arranged everything for Scarlett Darcy, from high school, university, to the job after graduation. She gave all her family affection

to Scarlett Darcy, but in return, she got such a long–planned betrayal.
The harsh ringtone pulled Chloe Redford back from her memories. It was Jasper Ellis calling.
“Chloe, how’s your foot? You can’t attend the dinner party tomorrow, right? I think it would be better to let Scarlett Darcy go in your place! Hmm…”
Chloe Redford heard an ambiguous moan on the phone and realized that Jasper Ellis might be with Scarlett Darcy now. She couldn’t help but feel disgusted!
“Where are you now?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Soon, Jasper Ellis explained,

“I’m at the gym.”
Chloe Redford looked at the time. It was eleven o’clock at night and he was at the gym. He really thought she was a fool.
“You can handle the matter of the party as you see fit. It’s getting late. I’m going to rest.”
“Okay, then go to bed early. Good night, baby!”
After hanging up the phone, Jasper Ellis looked at the little vixen opposite him and stretched out his big hand to pull her into his
arms.
Scarlett Darcy coquettishly refused to let him.
“You called Chloe Redford baby. Then what

am I?”
Jasper Ellis pinched her nose.
“You’re just a little vixen who gives me a hard time!”
The two of them laughed and rolled together. Under the bed was the high–end luxury brand dress that Scarlett Darcy had always wanted before!
Chloe Redford picked up a bottle of red wine and sat down on the balcony.
The night was quiet, and all she could see in front of her were the neon lights of the city. However, this hustle and bustle of the world had nothing to do with her.
In this life, she had no one by her side!

It didn’t matter! She was no longer that stupid person who compromised and begged for love. In this new life, she would make all those who had let her down pay the price!
A message came on her phone. Chloe Redford opened it. It was a photo of a girl wearing a high–end customized dress. If looking closely, one would find that this brand was exactly the one that Scarlett Darcy wanted.
[I received the dress. This time you were sensible and knew to prepare my birthday gift early! Mom said that on my birthday, you have to give me another set of jewelry. I sent you the set I want. Remember to buy it for me!]
Soon, Chloe Redford received another photo.

Chloe Redford took a look and threw the phone aside.
She tilted her head and took a sip of the red wine. It was mellow and rich, but Chloe Redford felt it was extremely bitter!
On the day of the dinner party, Scarlett Darcy went to get her hair and makeup done early in the morning and put on her high–end customized dress.
Looking at the person in the mirror, she felt ambitious more than ever.
Listening to the flattery from the people around her, she secretly touched her belly.
One day, she would become the real Mrs. Ellis and stand brightly beside Jasper Ellis.
The dinner party was held by the Pierce

family in Marinopolis. Almost all the wealthy and famous people in Marinopolis were present.
Looking at the glamorous and materialistic world of fame and fortune in front of her, even though she knew she was wearing a high–end customized dress, Scarlett Darcy still felt a sense of inferiority. She could only stay by Jasper Ellis’s side all the time and couldn’t even manage the basic etiquette and small talk.
Jasper Ellis somewhat regretted bringing Scarlett Darcy here, especially after Scarlett Darcy showed her lack of sophistication in every way.
But the person was already here. He couldn’t just send her back at this time!
After being looked at with questioning eyes

for the umpteenth time, Jasper Ellis couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Scarlett, go and rest over there. I’m going to talk to Mr. Hayes.”
Scarlett Darcy thought that Jasper Ellis was being considerate of her because she was pregnant and said,
“I’m not tired. Let me accompany you to socialize!”
As she spoke, Scarlett Darcy lifted the hem of her skirt, took Jasper Ellis’s arm, and made an intimate gesture.
Jasper Ellis pulled his arm back in
annoyance.
Just go and rest when I tell you to!”

Jasper Ellis’s coldness made Scarlett Darcy’s eyes turn red. Realizing that his tone was wrong, Jasper Ellis coaxed her in a low voice,
“I’m doing this for your own good. I’m afraid you’ll be tired! Besides, you don’t know the people here and can’t help me with anything. Go and eat something. Later, I’ll accompany you to watch the fireworks outside.”
Scarlett Darcy already understood that Jasper Ellis was disdainful of her inability to help. Even though she had complaints in her heart, Scarlett Darcy endured it.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you over there.”
She obediently walked to the rest area on the side. Looking at the crowd in the venue with their fragrant clothes and beautiful hair, she secretly vowed that one day, she would also become someone superior!
