Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

"Thank you for your appreciation" I said to Rita with an insincere smile.

I must say, she was so into acting.

Did she plan on treating her husband's ex-wife as a sister just so she could show other people how good-natured she was? Perhaps she wanted to earn the reputation of being kind? 

"Scarlett, I am a public figure.You won't suffer a loss if you take me as your elder sister.Besides, if anyone wants to give you a hard time in the future, they'll have to think twice.They have to make sure first if they can offend the people behind your back" Rita said with a smug look on her face.

"Are you saying that I can take advantage of you?" I forced a smile at her.

What she had just suggested was actually the contrary of what I wanted.

After the divorce, I planned to stay away from them and disappear from their lives.

"I wouldn't put it that way.It's just that Charles and I have watched you grow up into a fine lady.We can't help that you're still our little sister in our eyes"

Rita turned to Charles and added, "Am I right, Charles?"

"Yes"

Charles's answered in a barely audible tone.

His hands were clenched into fists under the table.

Although he seemed to be in a foul mood, he still answered Rita's question.

"If that's the case, thank you, my dear sister and brother-in-law"

I drank up the wine in my glass.

It was bitter, but it became tasteless when it reached my mouth.

As soon as I said the word "brother-in-law"

Charles raised his head and looked into my eyes with an icy cold gaze.

For some reason, he never touched the glass of wine in front of him.

All of a sudden, Rita pointed at Nina and Spencer and half-jokingly said, "You, two, listen carefully.From now on, Scarlett is my sister.If you dare to coax her into drinking just like what you've just done, I'll be the one who'll settle accounts with you"

Neither Nina nor Spencer said anything.

They just watched Rita's acting disinterestedly.

Under the influence of alcohol, I decided to act as well.

"Well, it seems that I shouldn't have made my elder sister worry about me.Don't worry.I'll be a good girl in the future so that you won't have to come to the TV station to check on me again and again"

The smile on Rita's face froze, and her face turned pale in an instant.

Maybe she was worried that Charles might understand what I meant.

But then again, she was an actress.

She quickly regained her composure and put on a considerate look on her face.

"It's just that you've only started working for a couple of days.As your elder sister, it's natural for me to be concerned about you.You shouldn't take it to heart.Am I right, Charles?"

As soon as Rita finished speaking, she looked at Charles expectantly.

However, he merely looked back at her, his face as cold as ice.

I was certain that Charles understood what I meant.

It did not take a genius to figure out that Rita had been stalking and harassing me while he was away.

His piercing gaze flustered Rita.

To our astonishment, she suddenly held her head with one hand and collapsed.

She fell directly into Charles's arms.
