Love’s Harsh Reality Novel

Scarlett managed a bitter smile. So this was how Derick perceived her.

An hour later, Scarlet and Derick emerged from the courthouse, each holding a divorce certificate

Elira looked at Derick’s divorce certificate with delight. She could now officially become his wife

She pretended to be concerned as she gazed at Scarlett, who seemed to have transformed.

Her striking and confident face looked even more enchanting, though her expression was so cold that it was hard to look at directly.

Eliza’s deepest jealousy had always been directed at that face. And now, she was finally relieved not to have to see it again

“Scarlett, with the Miller family disowning you and you leaving with nothing, do you have anywhere to go?”

Scarlett was just a country bumpkin. Being associated with the Miller family was a stroke of luck for her, though that luck was now gone.

Scarlett found it laughable that Eliza could still pretend to be concerned for her at this moment.

Back then, when the Miller family discovered that they had brought back the wrong child, they sent Scarlett to the countryside to be raised, completely ignoring her.

It wasn’t until she was 18 that she was brought back, and that was when she met Derick.

Eliza was found two years ago and sent abroad for further education to match the status of Derick, the scion of a prominent family.

When Eliza finally returned, Scarlett learned the truth–the Miller family had found their biological daughter and intended to sever all ties with her.

Since she had never been truly raised by them, the severance didn’t bother her. Her retum was motivated by a desire to search for her biological parents.

It was only then that she realized why she had been sent to the countryside. It was because she was not the Miller family’s biological daughter.

A few days ago, she happened to overhear Derick’s friends talking and learned that Derick had fallen head over heels for Eliza when he first met her abroad. After Eliza returned, they quickly formed a romantic relationship.

Eliza often sent Scarlett photos of the two of them together in bed, deliberately provoking and humiliating her.

Though thize was the mistress, she was truly arrogant beyond belirt

Scarlett cast a cold glance at Eliza “Don’t worry about me, M. Miller. Where I go is none of your concern.‘

Without looking at Derick, she straightened her back and hailed a cab, leaving resolutely. The firmness of her departure was driven by another infuriating discovery about Derick’s behavior.

Derick clenched the divorce certificate tightly in his hand, his veins bulging. To his surprise, she didn’t even spare him a glance as she left

But why did ber gait seem a bit strange?

He watched as Scarlett’s car disappeared. His gaze lingered long after it was out of sight.

“This is great, Derick! That bumpkin is finallyout of the way. We can be together without any obstacles now,” Eliza gushed with excitement She was eager to share the news with her p

parents.

Derick’s eyes held a fleeting coldness, though his voice remained gentle. “Let me take you home, Liz”

“My dad will be so happy to hear the news. Let’s go home and tell him.”

Derick’s eyes were clouded with emotions he struggled to hide He looked at the sweet woman before him and forced a warm smile. “Sure, let’s go.”

Eliza was overjoyed. She had finally removed Scarlett from their lives completely. It was thanks to her mother’s formidable scheming that Scarlett and Derick were now divorced.

As Derick’s car stopped at the gates of the Miller residence, he saw a call from the CEO of HY Group. He asked Eliza to get out of the car and wait.

Eliza obediently got out and waited.

“Hello?” Derick’s voice was low and cold.

The voice on the other end was mocking “Mr. Jones, your sales director has quite the nerve. She threatened me with a knife to secure the contract. I shot her, and she actually removed the bullet in front of me.

“I’ve never admired any woman until I saw Scarlett, is she still alive?” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
