淑女的欲望

'What a bitch!' The woman with bobbed hair cursed Scarlett inwardly.

"Demi! Stop it, don't spout nonsense!!" Ella Harris said as she grabbed her friend's arm to stop her from talking.

Then, putting her apologetical mask on her face, she looked at Scarlett and said, "S-Sorry Scarlett, this is my friend, Demi, she mistakenly recognized you as someone..." Ella said. She felt joy because she saw Martha Bell walk into the shop. She would expose this slut, Scarlett, having an affair in this place.

Ella hates Scarlett so much!

In her eyes, Scarlett was like a gold digger. This gold digger only approaches Xander for his money and keeps her lover outside. What made Ella even more fed up with Scarlett because this slut brought her lover to this R Mall. How dare she spend Xander's money on another man?

Scarlett was speechless hearing Ella's words. She can see so many lies running down Ella Harris' fake smile.

'You can't hide it from me bitch!' Scarlett can't help but curse Ella. She clearly heard what they were talking about, and this woman told her friend that she snatched Xander from her, but now this bitch wants to blame her friend?

This was her first time meeting a white-lotus type of woman in the real world.

Gosh!

Scarlett maintained her smile even though she resisted the urge to slap these two women on the head. Especially Ella, how could she accuse her of having an affair with Cruz?

Although angry, she tried to restrain herself. She would not lower herself like them.

Never!

Just before Scarlett was about to reply to Ella's insult, she heard Martha's voice from behind her.

"A-Aunty..." Scarlett gasped in surprise. Martha was already standing right behind her.

"Scarlett? OMG! I can't believe I met you here..." Unable to contain her excitement, Martha pulled Scarlett into her embrace.

Martha was happy to finally meet Scarlett after their many shopping plans were postponed. She thought Xander was purposely forbidding Scarlett to go out with her, but she heard from Carter that Scarlett was busy.

"Auntie, me too. I'm so happy to meet you. I'm sorry if..."

"Aunt Martha, nice to meet you too!" Ella shamelessly interrupted Scarlett and Martha. She smiled at Martha, but Martha ignored her.

Ella's hands clenched tightly in annoyance with this shameless woman. Because of this woman, Xander never returned to the Riley Mansion, and her relationship with Xander was strained — she never saw Xander again at Riley's party. Eventually, their engagement was called off. She hated Martha Bell so much! 'Go fuck yourself, Martha fucking Bell!'

"Scarlett, are you here alone? Well, you promised me we should go shopping together..." Martha looked at Scarlett with her radiant eyes. "You promised me that, remember? Now I'd like to see that promise fulfilled, child!"

Scarlett could only smile faintly. This time she could not refuse Martha. She said, "Sure…sure…but…I come here with..."

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "A-Auntie, Scarlett came here with her boyfriend... Ugh... I, I mean, with her boy…friend." said Ella Harris with her fake-worried expression. In her mind, she rejoiced — this was her chance to expose this gold digger!

Only this time did Martha Bell shift her gaze from Scarlett to Ella. "What do you mean, Miss Harris?" asked Martha, very rigid and perplexed with Ella's tone.

"Umm... auntie.. this..."

"Spit it out, Ella!! I don't get what you just said," Martha snapped.

Ella took a deep breath before saying, "...Scarlett came with a young man...and they looked very secretive, even Scarlett bought clothes for that man." Ella Harris suddenly stopped her words. With a guilty look, she looked at Scarlett and said, "I… I'm very sorry, Scarlett. I can't lie to Aunt Martha, so I hope you can understand..."

Ella lowered her head to hide her fake sad expression. Inwardly she felt like she wanted to jump! So happy to see how shocked Martha Bell is now. She was successful in exposing this gold digger, Scarlett Piers!

Demi, standing right beside Ella, wanted to laugh at how Ella pulled her act. She knew her best friend was very good at manipulating others. And so far, she witnessed Ella's target, usually believing what she said. 'Well done, Ella!! Go get your prince Xander!!'

Logan, who couldn't explain the situation — because Scarlett forbade him — could only curse Ella Harris in his heart. Then, he took out his cell phone to text Xander. This Ella Harris really deserves to be punished.

...

Although Martha was shocked, she didn't buy any of Ella Harris' words—she trusts Scarlett more any day and anywhere!

Martha Bell looked around and was relieved to see Logan Lee, Xander's assistant standing not far from them. No way Scarlett cheated on Xander when Logan was around.

She narrowed her eyes at Ella Harris, "Miss Harris, please don't slander Xander's wife! Or you will be in trouble with the Young Riley... if you spread cheap gossip like this." Martha's soft voice could not hide the threat implied by her words.

Ella gasped in surprise. 'Humph! This woman does not believe me? How could that be?'

Instantly Ella Harris was worried her plan would fail. She slowly looked up to see Martha and was shocked to see that her eyes radiated anger and threat. 'This woman didn't believe me! Why?'

Ella felt something was wrong. Then, she looked around to find Scarlett's lover, but her eyes fell on Logan Lee at that moment, her body jolted as if an electric had shocked her, and she could feel her knees turn into tofu.

'W-Why, Logan here?' She mumbled inwardly. 'Scarlett couldn't be shopping with her boyfriend if Logan was here, right? Then, who was that tacky-dressed man?'

Ella turned her gaze to find that man wearing a bright red shirt and skinny white pants. But she couldn't find him.

Instantly, Ella Harris felt like disappearing from that place because she knew she had made a big mistake.

She failed with her plan! And she really didn't like it...

"Miss Ella, you hear me. Please explain why you just accused Xander's wife of cheating when that is impossible?" Martha asked again as if pulling Ella out of her pool of fear.
