Chapter 665
But now she had escaped.
Like someone guilty and cowardly, she had run away.
Yet her heart was still heavy and suffocated, with a lingering breath stuck in her chest, making her uncomfortable. Every breath felt like piercing pain.
Why was she still so upset?
Hadn’t she already seen through that bastard long ago, knowing he was a despicable, shameless fraud?
She was already disappointed in him, yet her heart still ached so much, so painfully.
The needle-like pain spread from her heart to her eyes.
She started feeling a sharp sting in her eyes, a severe acidic throbbing, as warm mist quickly formed a layer of tears in her eyes. In the blink of an eye, tears like a string of broken beads fell onto her pale cheeks.
“Bastard, bastard p>
She covered her eyes, letting the tears slip through her fingers.
Why did she fall for such a bastard and cry for him?
She truly hated her own lack of fortitude.
Swearing and sobbing, she moved deeper into the scenic area.
At night, there weren’t many people in the scenic area.
As she walked in, a few men with dyed blonde hair passed by her, first burst out laughing, then whistled at her: “Hey beauty, are you alone p>
The flirty laughter snapped Scarlett Yates back to reality.
She suddenly looked up.
One of the blondies had already leaned close to her, his beady eyes narrowed to slits, with a malicious grin on his face: “Beauty, what are you thinking? It’s so boring to be alone. Why not join us? It’s more fun with more people p>
Scarlett’s face suddenly changed, taking a deep breath in shock, and retreated, sternly demanding, “Get out of the way p>
The blondie pretended to be scared, patting his chest with a smile, saying, “Oh, the beauty’s so fierce. What’s there to be afraid of? We won’t eat you p>
After saying this, he and the guys behind him burst out laughing.
“Nutcase.” Scarlett cursed quietly. Seeing other pedestrians around, she wasn’t too scared, shot Blondie a fierce look, clutched her bag tightly, and quickly walked toward the more crowded area.
These men seemed to be just teasing. Seeing her leave, they didn’t chase her, only whistling loudly behind her back and laughing, “Beauty, if you get bored, remember to come find us p>
Scarlett walked quickly.
Reaching the crowded area, she finally let down the heart she’d been holding up in the air.
What the driver said was true, this place was not too safe at night, not suitable for a single girl to come alone for fun.
Just upon entering the scenic area, she’d run into some petty troublemakers.
After a while of walking, not completely reassured, she looked back to see those blond-haired men had disappeared.
She was about to withdraw her glance when she noticed a slightly familiar figure.
The person stood in the shadows, with his back to her. With a quick glance, Scarlett thought he looked familiar, but as long as he didn’t turn his head, she couldn’t see his face clearly.
It shouldn’t… be him.
At this time, he couldn’t possibly be here.
She watched for a while, turned around; the danger passed, and her mind went blank again.
Not knowing where to go, she randomly chose a path and started walking.
After walking for a while, the light in front of her seemed to grow dimmer.
Startled, she looked up to realize she had walked onto a small path.
The path was flanked by trees, tall and dense, almost completely blocking the light, making this area particularly dark at night.
