淑女的欲望

She accepts Xander\'s offer of a marriage contract to escape the headache Lauren Pierse gives her. As for the money Xander spent on her family, she will pay it back.

"Xander, about my father\'s debt, I will repay all the money you have spent on it. I..." She paused when she saw Xander\'s expression change and looked displeased with her words.

"No need. Consider it a reward for helping me." Xander says. "After all, I got shares of your father\'s company. Even though I bought additional shares from other shareholders, it was purely to put pressure on them. You are still the largest shareholder in the company."

"I know. But, I want to buy back the share you bought from my dad and the others. I\'ll pay the same price, or if you want more, that\'s fine with me..."

Even though the company wasn\'t very profitable, she still wanted to keep it. Because the company is inherited from her mother. And there are still many of her mother\'s colleagues who still work there.

Scarlett didn\'t want to let them down if the company was taken over by someone else or destroyed by Lauren and her father.

Xander didn\'t reply right away. He intended to give all the shares he bought to her when their marriage contract was completed as a gift. But, hearing her words somehow made him a little disturbed, and wondered; where could she get that much money in such a short time? Did she borrow from Rex?

If this girl borrowed money from Rex, he would tell her to return the money back. He better keeps that share than have to take that bastard Rex\'s money.

"We\'ll talk about this later..." he said, and at the same time, their car pulled into the White Mansion yard.

Scarlett quickly got out of the car and was delighted to see Erica, her maid, waiting at the main door with butler Paul beside her.

As Xander got out of the car, his cell phone vibrated. He frowned as Carter\'s name appeared on the screen. Just before he wanted to speak, he heard Scarlett call him.

Xander looked at Scarlett and met her curious eyes.  Slowly his face softened at the sight. "You can go first. I\'ll take this call..." He lifted his cell phone to show her. After he saw her nod and speak to her maid, his expression became cold as he said,  "Speak!"

His eyes were still fixed on Scarlett talking enthusiastically with her maid.

"Brother, who is that woman with you?" After hearing a young woman\'s voice, Carter immediately forgot what he wanted to talk about.

Didn\'t his brother say he was going home!? Why is there a young woman\'s voice in his house? Is that the maid?

Impossible! He knew a weird rule in his brother\'s house; no maidservant could enter his house if he was home. Only Butler Paul usually accompanies him.

Carter was curious.

"If you don\'t talk, I will hang up!" Xander said as he started to walk.

"Wait! Alright, alright. I\'ll tell you something you might want to know." Carter panicked, worried that his brother would hang up. He could not delay telling this good news, "Bro, listen! This is important information about the director of Red Animation Studio!"

Xander\'s steps stopped. His hand gripped his phone tighter, hearing Carter\'s words.

Tonight, he was really dissatisfied with his meeting with Harvey Olson because that director didn\'t introduce them to the essential personnel at Red Animation Studio. Harvey Olson only promised to give a kind word to the RAS director to accept their script — he didn\'t give them a chance to negotiate directly with that person.

Even when Xander asked for the person\'s identity, Harvey didn\'t spill a word. He seemed to be protecting that person\'s identity and keeping it for himself.

"Continue!" Xander said.

"I know the name of the Director of the RAS..." Carter\'s cheerful voice came from the other end.

Xander was shocked, but still, he didn\'t believe this kid, "Huh? Are you sure? How did you know?"

"I drank with Mr. Cruz Reeves, her assistant. And then I  asked him for some information I wanted to know. And that poor Mr. Reeves spilled his boss\'s name when he drank..." Carter laughed on the other end, but Xander was stunned when he heard Carter say, "HER."

So, Astington\'s RAS director is a woman?

"I see. Do you know the woman\'s name?"

"Sure do. The name is Scarlett Piers..." Instantly Xander\'s body froze. His eyes flickered as he watched Scarlett\'s back disappear behind the door.

\'Scarlett is the Director of Red Animation Studio!? Did I hear wrong!?\'

"Carter, are you sure that\'s her name?" Xander was unable to believe that. The person he had been looking for was so close to him.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Yes... Yes... I can guarantee it, brother!" Carter\'s voice sounded proud. "You have to give me a present, big brother. Because, besides knowing her name, I also managed to make an appointment to meet her tomorrow morning at the RAS office."

Xander didn\'t say anything but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Brother, do you want to go with me tomorrow!? I will message her assistant if you want to come." Carter asked.

"No need!" Xander started walking towards the house. "And you don\'t have to meet her. Cancel the appointment!"

"WHAT!!! ARE YOU KIDDING, BRO!?" Carter was utterly shocked at Xander\'s words. After so much trouble they went through to meet that person, now his brother casually wants to call it off!? Did he lose his brain at the party!?

"Brother, sorry, I can\'t do that! Whatever you say, I\'ll meet her tomorrow."

"I said there was no need for you to meet. I will meet that lady, and I will meet her now!"

"YOU, WHAT!? Bro, bro….do not tell me you know her?"

"Oh, you bet I know her, alright. I know her well... She is my wife!"

Beep! Connection ended.

Carter, who had just left the Riley Hotel, staggered when he heard Xander\'s words.

"WIFE!? HIS WIFE!? Did my brother just drunk-call me? Why does he suddenly have a wife? And his wife\'s name is Scarlett Piers, the Scarlett Piers, Director of the RAS!? No fucking way!!"

Confused and shocked, Carter recalled his brother many times, but unfortunately, Xander\'s cell phone was off.
