Chapter 349
A very strange feeling.
Scarlett Yates is her greatest enemy and also the person she hates the most.
But at this moment, listening to Scarlett speak with such certainty that they will definitely leave, she actually feels that they really could leave within two days.
The restlessness and panic in her heart have greatly diminished because of this inexplicable trust, and her emotions are no longer on the brink of collapse as they initially were.
“I hope it’s like you said, otherwise, even if we aren’t starved to death, we’ll be stifled to death here p>
Emotions are something that can easily affect others.
Scarlett’s nonchalant calmness also influenced Alice Green, and Alice’s emotions gradually stabilized, no longer suspiciously looking around all the time.
Having someone by your side can indeed bolster your courage.
Feeling less afraid, she had the mood for small talk, sitting by the fire with her knees hugged, she glanced at Scarlett and then said, “Who do you think Matthew would be most worried about when both of us disappear p>
Without waiting for Scarlett to answer, she answered herself, “He must be very worried about me, he’s definitely looking for me everywhere now p>
How boring.
Scarlett didn’t even lift an eyelid; seeing that the branches in the fire were almost burned out, she picked up a few more and threw them in.
Immediately, crackling sparks flew up.
Alice Green quickly scrambled back a few steps, worried that the sparks might land on her.
Seeing that Scarlett was completely ignoring her, she frowned and complained angrily, “Hey, are you even listening to me p>
Scarlett shot her a cold glance, made a motion as if cleaning out her ear, and said lazily, “My ears aren’t deaf, you don’t need to keep emphasizing p>
The more indifferent Scarlett acted, the more infuriated Alice Green became, only wanting to provoke her with words, “Scarlett Yates, so what even if you’ve heard about my past, so what if Matthew considers me a sister? We’re not real siblings, the relationship can change at any time. Today he treats me as a sister, maybe tomorrow I’ll become the woman he loves most p>
“You can’t deny it; I always have a special place in his heart. As long as he cares about me, I have the chance to win him over p>
As she spoke, she smirked triumphantly, “And as for you, you’re just a fleeting novelty to him. Once the novelty wears off, you’ll be discarded just like all the other women before p>
“I’ve seen it happen so many times. Over the years, the women around him have come and gone with countless faces, but only I, throughout, have stayed by his side p>
“Oh, so what?” Scarlett listened to her triumphantly finish speaking and not only did she not show any anger, she even smiled at her, “I, who am just a fleeting novelty to him, have a chance to become his lifelong companion, while you, who hold a significant place in his heart, have no choice but to marry someone else p>
“Alice Green, between us, who is really pitiable p>
Just two casual sentences instantly shattered Alice Green’s smug expression, her face changed, and she angrily retorted, “Scarlett Yates, you just got lucky. Even if you can marry him, so what? He doesn’t really love you p>
“Is that so? So what if he doesn’t love me now, feelings can be cultivated slowly. Once we’re married, spending every day together from morning till night, sharing the same bed every night, do you think feelings won’t develop p>
