Chapter 3 Stabbing at the “Pick–Me” Girl’s Weak Point
“What are you two doing!”
Chloe Redford’s voice suddenly rang out. Before Jasper Ellis could push the woman in his arms away, he already received a slap on his face.
Scarlett Darcy wanted to check Jasper Ellis’s face, but the next second, she also got slapped.
Chloe Redford pretended to just now recognize them.
“Scarlett? Why is it you?
Just now I saw Jasper Ellis hugging a woman. I was so angry that I thought it was

some shameless woman seducing Jasper Ellis…
But why are you two hugging each other?”
Jasper Ellis immediately explained,
“You’re so busy with work all day that you don’t even have time to try on the wedding dress.
Scarlett is your best friend and knows your preferences. I asked her to help try on the wedding dress. Just now, the photographer wanted us to practice the posing for the photos, so that’s why you saw that scene.”
Obviously, it was his fault, but as soon as Jasper Ellis spoke, he could shift the blame onto Chloe Redford. This was his usual trick.
“Oh, I see!”

Chloe Redford pretended to believe them. She took a look at the wedding dress on Scarlett Darcy and hesitated before saying,
“However, Scarlett, you’ve been my assistant for a while now. Why is your taste still so…”
Scarlett Darcy felt the disdain in Chloe Redford’s words and wanted to retort, but she received a warning look from Jasper Ellis.
Jasper Ellis said, “You’re the famous designer Loey. Scarlett is just an assistant. How can she be compared to you? Since you don’t like it, just pick one yourself.”
Scarlett Darcy was unwilling, but it was bad enough that Chloe Redford disliked her taste. Now even Jasper Ellis was saying the same thing. But currently, the only person

she could rely on was Jasper Ellis, so she had to swallow her anger.
“Yes, our personalities are different, so our tastes are definitely different too.”
“Is that so? I used to think that since we’ve been inseparable for the past few years; what I like, you would also like. I wondered if one day we might fall for the same man!”
Chloe Redford’s words made the whole room fall into an eerie atmosphere. Soon, Jasper Ellis let out a couple of dry laughs and tried to cover it up, saying,
“Do you think I’m a fool? With a pearl like you right in front of me, even if other women take a fancy to me, I wouldn’t give up a pearl for a fish eye.
If
you
don’t like this one, let’s pick another

one.”
However, Chloe Redford showed great disdain for a row of wedding dresses in the store.
“These designs are really ugly. None of them are up to my standards.
I saw a design in a magazine yesterday that I really liked, but it’s a bit expensive.”
Jasper Ellis looked troubled.
“Chloe, I’m short on funds right now. I know these wedding dresses here are not good enough for you, but look, doesn’t Scarlett look pretty in this one?”
With Jasper Ellis’s compliment, Scarlett Darcy blushed shyly and quickly covered it up.

Chloe Redford, however, pretended to be angry and snapped at Jasper Ellis,
“You’ve been belittling Scarlett in front of me all day. Now you’re saying that Scarlett looks good in a cheap wedding dress. Do you think that Scarlett only deserves to wear this kind of dress?”
As soon as Scarlett Darcy heard these words, the smile that had just appeared on her face quickly disappeared.
Looking at the wedding dress on herself, her mind was filled with words like “cheap” and “unworthy“.
“I think you don’t care about me at all. Otherwise, how could you let the woman you love wear such a shabby wedding dress! You should be reluctant to even let her try it on!”

These words seemed like a complaint, but they really hit Scarlett Darcy where it hurt. At this moment, she felt as if the wedding dress on her was covered in. thorns, pricking at her pride.
“I’ll go and take off the dress.”
Scarlett Darcy covered her face and went into the dressing room. Jasper Ellis felt sorry for her as he watched her back. He took a step forward but finally stopped in his tracks.
Only then did he notice that Chloe Redford’s appearance today was very different from usual. She always only wore black and white casual clothes, but today she was actually wearing a figure–hugging silk dress. Her wavy hair was scattered behind her head, and she looked like a lazy and noble Persian

cat.
Chloe Redford’s appearance made Jasper Ellis’s eyes light up, and more than that, he felt proud.
Just now, Chloe Redford was
uncharacteristically aggressive, and he was a bit worried if she had discovered something.
Now it seemed that he had been worrying for nothing.
Ever since Chloe Redford was found by the Redford family, instead of getting compensation, she had been targeted by that extra younger sister. She hardly had a place to stand in the Redford family.
Now, she regarded him as her only family member, so of course she would try every

means to please him.
As soon as Scarlett Darcy came out of the fitting room, she saw that Jasper Ellis’s eyes seemed to be glued to Chloe Redford.
The scene in front of her deeply irritated Scarlett Darcy, and she was so jealous that she almost gritted her molars.
“Chloe, I’m not feeling well in my stomach. I might have to go to the hospital.”
Jasper Ellis looked nervously at Scarlett Darcy’s abdomen. Since it was about the child, he lost his composure for a moment.
“What’s wrong with your stomach?”
As soon as the words came out, Jasper Ellis realized he had been impulsive. He gave a light cough and stopped talking.

Chloe Redford glanced at him and said,
“You should go to the hospital then. But I have something to do.later and can’t take you there.”
“It’s okay. I’ll just take a taxi.”
When Scarlett Darcy said this, she looked at Jasper Ellis with a pitiful expression, and the corners of her eyes turned red.
Jasper Ellis saw it and felt pain in his heart, but now that Chloe Redford was still there, he couldn’t let her notice anything unusual.
“In that case, let’s go first!”
He put his arm around her and was about to leave, saying to Chloe Redford,

“What would you like to eat? It’s the rush hour after work now, and there will definitely be a traffic jam on the road. I’ll plan the route in advance so I won’t let you go hungry.”
Chloe Redford understood the hidden meaning in Jasper Ellis’s words, which was that it definitely wouldn’t be convenient to take a taxi now, and he hoped she would offer to send Scarlett Darcy to the hospital.
But unfortunately, she wouldn’t let them have their way!
“Anything is fine. You decide!”
After saying that, Chloe Redford left the bridal shop directly.
Jasper Ellis looked back at Scarlett Darcy and finally left resolutely.

Not long after the car drove away, Jasper Ellis’s phone suddenly rang. The name
displayed on the multimedia screen was “Mr. Bennett“.
Jasper Ellis took a look and then pressed the hang–up button.
Chloe Redford pretended to be confused and said, “Why didn’t you answer it?”
Jasper Ellis dodged her gaze.
“I had an appointment for dinner with Mr. Bennett before, and I forgot about it because of being so busy. It doesn’t matter. It’s just a meal. I’ll apologize to Mr. Bennett later. The most important thing now is to accompany you to have something to eat.”
Chloe Redford looked at Jasper Ellis, whose acting skills were so smooth. She felt

disgusted even at the sight of him.
“Work is more important. You go. I just want to take a stroll around here.”
Jasper Ellis showed a bit of apology on his face and handed over a credit card.
“Then go buy something you like. I’ll pick you up for work tomorrow morning.”
The car stopped by the roadside. After Chloe Redford got out of the car, she watched the car drive in the opposite direction of the bridal shop, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
She hailed a taxi casually and followed Jasper Ellis. Soon, she saw Jasper Ellis turn back to the bridal shop, pick up Scarlett Darcy, and go directly to the hospital.

She followed all the way and witnessed them entering the obstetrics and gynecology department, taking photos as evidence.
“Let’s go! Head to the Marinopolis Building!”
The taxi turned around and drove in the other direction. Watching the two of them gradually disappear in the rearview mirror, Chloe Redford closed her eyes.
In this lifetime, besides making these two people pay the price, she also wanted to live her own life well.
The Marinopolis Building was a branch of the Kane Group established in Marinopolis, and it was considered a landmark building in Marinopolis.
“Hello, I’m the designer Chloe Redford.”

“I’d like to meet Mr. Kane.”
