淑女的欲望

Xander remained silent but leaned in to kiss Scarlett\'s rosy, fresh lips, his expression showing his love and support for her.

"I love you so much, Scarlett Piers!!" Xander said as their lips parted.

She took a moment to catch her breath, feeling grateful for the love and affection that Xander always showered her with.

"I love you too, Xander Riley," Scarlett replied with a smile, her heart still racing from the sweet and tender kiss they had just shared.

Scarlett gazed into his sparkling blue eyes and felt a deep satisfaction inside her. She knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them as a team, united in their love for each other.

"How far deep are you going to punish them?" Scarlett asked, intrigued by Xander\'s in-depth plan for the Harris Family.

Xander\'s expression remained calm as he replied, "I want them to feel the full weight of our reaction to their vile actions. They\'ve caused enough damage to Ocean Group and you, and it\'s time for them to face the consequences."

Scarlett\'s mind raced as she considered Xander\'s words. She knew the Harris Corporation\'s shares had taken a nosedive, with panicked investors selling off their stocks. However, H Entertainment, owned by Ella Harris, caught her attention.

She couldn\'t help but feel a sense of satisfaction at the thought of the company going bankrupt. After all, most of the artists at H Entertainment consisted entirely of people with shallow intentions to achieve fame. They only care about money and don\'t care if their way to achieve fame and money hurts people.

"It\'s not just about punishing them," Xander continued. "It\'s about ensuring they never have the opportunity to hurt anyone else again. And I have just the plan to ensure that."

Scarlett leaned forward, eager to hear more about Xander\'s scheme. She knew that with his crafty mind and vast resources, he could deliver a blow that the Harris family would never forget. And if it meant bringing down H Entertainment, Scarlett is satisfied.

Later...

Excitedly, her eyes lit up as she fell onto the shopping bag on the coffee table. She couldn\'t help but smile as she stood up to pick it up.

Seeing Scarlett standing up, Xander had just seen two shopping bags from a well-known brand at that time, and he became curious. "What\'s that?"

With a grin, Scarlett handed Xander one of the shopping bags and kept the other for herself. As Xander looked hesitant to open his, Scarlett couldn\'t help but chuckle. "That\'s my first present for you, Xander!"

Xander\'s smile grew wider as he remembered that Scarlett had mentioned wanting to buy him something earlier that day. He immediately opened the box to find a stylish winter coat inside. "Wow! This coat is beautiful, babe..."

"I got the same coat for myself, so we can wear our couple\'s coats," Scarlett said with a hint of shyness. She couldn\'t believe she was doing this for someone else. But for Xander, she is willing to get out of her comfort zone.

Gosh!

"Wow, that\'s amazing, baby!" Xander exclaimed with excitement. "Tomorrow let\'s go to Grandpa\'s house, and we can wear matching clothes..."

Scarlett hesitated momentarily, then quickly replied, "No, we can wear this coat when we travel to the US!"

She didn\'t want to provoke her brother-in-law, Carter, any further. Scarlett knew they often displayed affection before the public and him, and she didn\'t want to make him uncomfortable. The poor guy, Carter, would probably end up in the hospital if they wore matching outfits to the Riley Mansion, right!?

"Oh, you\'re right," Xander agreed. He neatly placed the coat back in the box, treating it like a fragile, rare treasure.

As Xander finished folding his coat, he realized that there was something important that he had neglected to do for his wife.

He gazed at her and tenderly took her delicate hand. "Baby, I\'m sorry. I haven\'t been your best husband," he confessed with a heavy heart.

Scarlett was taken aback by the sudden shift in his demeanor. "What do you mean?" she asked, feeling confused.

Xander didn\'t say anything but took a deep breath and looked deeply into her eyes.

"Xander, please don\'t keep me in suspense. What\'s going on?" Scarlett implored, feeling both curious and concerned.

He stood up from his chair, "Wait here," he instructed her, then walked toward his office.

Scarlett was left stunned by Xander\'s behavior and the ominous words that he had spoken. Her heart raced with worry as she watched him disappear behind the door.

Scarlett grew increasingly impatient as the minutes ticked by, wondering what Xander was up to. Just as she was about to go into his study to follow him, she heard her cell phone on the table vibrate.

She glanced at the phone screen and saw Rex\'s name displayed. Her heart skipped a beat, knowing he was supposed to update her on the investigation into her mother\'s family\'s whereabouts.

Without hesitation, she answered the call. "Is it safe to talk now?" Rex\'s voice came through the speaker.

Scarlett quickly got up and walked to a quiet corner of the room before answering, "Yes, it\'s safe. Do you have any updates for me?"

"Yes, I found them, but the information might be inaccurate. I suggest sending Seven to investigate in person and get reconfirmation," Rex explained, detailing the results of their investigation over the past few days. Mikayla Davies\' identity proved challenging to trace. Even a highly skilled hacker like Ten was overwhelmed by the task, leading them to suspect that someone more powerful was concealing her identity.

"Thank you, brother. Please send me the information," Scarlett said, her heart overflowing with joy at the news of her mother\'s family\'s possible whereabouts.

As Rex was about to end the call, he heard Scarlett say, "I\'ll go there to investigate..."

"What? No, don\'t go there. It would be best if you didn\'t go there. It\'s too dangerous," Rex responded frantically.

"Why?" Scarlett asked, confused.

"Because your mother\'s family is in the North District!" Rex explained urgently.

"North District?" Scarlett muttered, feeling bewildered at first. But within seconds, she realized the gravity of the situation. If she went to the North District, she would be in the same city as her enemies, putting herself at risk.

\'What the hell!\' she exclaimed, her face showing a mixed feeling between frustration, curiosity, and fear.
