淑女的欲望

Paul Harris looked closely at the girl beside Walter Riley and was shocked to see the female face.

'That woman! Why does she look familiar!?' Paul Harris muttered, trying to remember where he had seen the woman. However, he still couldn't recall the memory after a few seconds.

Then, Paul Harris glanced at his daughter.  He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, seeing how ugly her expression was — her eyes were slightly bloodshot, and her face as white as paper, like all the blood, had drained from her face.

Needless to say, Paul Harris knew that his daughter was shocked and angry simultaneously.

"F-Father... B-brother Xander already has a wife!? He's married, and the woman we saw at Swan Lake Town was his wife!!" Ella Harris' voice was low but felt like a wake-up call to Paul Harris.

"That's right! That woman is the woman we saw in Swan Lake!" He whispered to his daughter, "However, she also looks different..."

"She's the same woman, Father!"

Paul Harris frowned. He cast his gaze on Scarlett again and tried to determine the difference. After some time, he said, "Are you sure it's the same person? Her hair..."

Although this woman in front of him was still as beautiful as the woman he had seen before, the woman in Swan Lake had long, slightly red hair. However, what he saw now was short hair that was gray, no, silver hair!

"Did she change her hair in just two days after their meeting!?" Paul Harris asked Ella Harris again.

"Yes. I think so... She is indeed the same girl." Ella's fists clenched tightly in anger. She never imagined Xander secretly marrying this woman.

Paul Harris was deep in thought. He had been searching for information about this woman and found nothing. His initial plan wanted to separate this woman from Xander Riley. However, now it looks like he has to change his plans because this girl's status is not only Xander's girlfriend but she is Xander's wife.

Ella held Paul Harris's arm and whispered, "...Father, about your plan, I hope you don't stop it. I don't mind if he already has a wife. As long as this woman perishes from this land, I can become Xander's wife!"

A frown appeared on Paul Harris' face, too surprised by Ella's words. He didn't rush into responding but thought deeply about something.

After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Let's talk about it later. Now, let's sit beside your grandfather and greet them all..."

Old Harris immediately noticed Ella and Paul Harris.

"Paul, Ella... Why are you guys standing there? Come, join us!" The old man with golden glasses smiled broadly at his family. After they sat down, Old Harris sent a 'meaningful smile' at Scarlett before he looked at Old Riley.

Scarlett could only chuckle inwardly as she realized these two people were from the Harris family. This delusional family is really something, huh? She could read through their gazes. They must be planning something for her. Gosh!

"Ella, say hello to Grandpa Riley and all of them..." Old Harris said.

Ella Harris stood gracefully and bowed slightly to Old Riley, still sitting in his seat.

Then from the corner of her eye, Ella sent an intimidated glare to Scarlett before saying, "Grandpa Riley, it's nice to see you again, and you look younger..." Her melodious voice made all the elders, including Old Riley, praise her because she looked calm and composed, like a noble lady.

Scarlett rolled her eyes at how seductively her black dress now revealed all of her assets. And she also wore heavy makeup. No wonder Xander doesn't like her! This woman looks older than her actual age.

"Beautiful Ella, let grandpa see your face..." Ella slightly raised her head and met Old Riley's gaze. "You look prettier every time I see you, Ella." He said, then laughed happily.

"Young Lady Ella is indeed lovely. She is one of the top bachelorettes in the capital..." Said one of the elders.

"Yes, agreed! Besides being beautiful, she is also a genius. Still young but already successful in making H Entertainment the second largest entertainment industry company in this country!" Another praise came from the other elder.

"Old Riley, it's a shame you didn't choose her to be your granddaughter-in-law... Ella is so perfect for Xander! Well, I'm just saying..." He laughs.

Scarlett was speechless. Does this old geezer not realize she's still there?

Ella was in a good mood, hearing all praise from the elders. And she was happier when she saw Scarlett's sullen expression.

'Girls! You won't be able to beat me!! I am from a noble family. While you? I bet you must be from an ordinary family, right!?' Ella mocked Scarlett inwardly.

Ella's smile bloomed before saying to Old Riley, "Thank you, grandpa…" then she looked at Scarlett again. "...Grandpa Riley, who is this woman beside you?"

She wants to know her identity and investigate it.

How could an ordinary woman move Xander's heart!?

Walter Riley glanced at Scarlett and asked her to introduce herself to everyone.

Scarlett smiled as she looked at the senior in front of her with a gentle look. But she didn't even glance at Ella Harris.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Hello, I'm Scarlett Piers..." She answered calmly. She didn't know how else to introduce herself. Because she was confident, these people would not know about her last name.

"Piers? I've never heard of them before. Are they from this town? Or?" Old Harris asked Scarlett with a smile framing his face, but inside he was furious; this girl stole Xander from his granddaughter.

"Yeah, I haven't heard of the Piers either..." Another old man said, "Miss Piers, aren't you from this city?"

Before Scarlett wanted to answer, Ella said, "How about if I call you Sister Scarlett? Can I call you that?" Scarlett nods.

Ella smiles at Scarlett before continuing, "...Thank you, I think I've seen you before!" Her question surprised everyone, including Old Riley.

Paul Harris, who had been silent all along, finally said, "...Miss Scarlett Piers, we met a few days ago in Swan Lake. You still remember us, right!?"

"Yes. I remember!" Scarlett said.

Old Riley smiled happily. His grandson did not hide Scarlett from the public. He even introduced Scarlett to his ex-fiancé.
