When the former president's daughter entered, the main store was silent.
But the store had 30-year veterans, some of whom had been hired by Scarlett's parents.
Therefore, I felt strangely comfortable upon entering.
Staff badges were decorated with stars, and the more stars, the more experience they had.
Scarlett extended the box to Mile, the employee with the most stars.
“There is a problem with the watches sold here.”
The white-haired employee received the box and smiled: “Long time no see.”
“Ah… yes, do you remember me?”
“Of course, how not?”
Mile spoke in a gentle tone, and Scarlett felt a little relieved.
“I came here as a child and never came back again.”
“Why didn't you come back?”
“Because I was afraid of my uncle.”
“I understand”
Mael replied, but his calm expressions and those of the other employees showed that they did not take the matter seriously.
Evil was cruel to Scarlett and Isaac for plundering their wealth, and fired technicians who opposed him, but he was not so cruel to those he needed like Mael.
The Crimson family members were the ones evaluating the watches.
Mile only evaluated the jewels, but he opened the cover of the watch and looked at it and said: “I am not an expert in watch technology, but I have done evaluations for forty years, and I have seen watches for the same amount of time.”
“Yes, I know”
“In my opinion, this hour is correct.”
Scarlett's face lit up, and the other employees, after examining the watch, confirmed the same opinion.
Then Louise, a sharp-looking employee, spoke up: “So, what do you want to do, Miss Scarlett?”
“All watches bearing my uncle’s name that include 5th Edition parts must be recalled.”
The customers in the store looked at her.
The staff frowned.
This may lead to the closure of the main store.
While the staff hesitates, Arnold Crimson, the nominal vice president who spends his days drinking, returns.
“Mr.
Vice President”
The employees knew Arnold's temper, so they surrounded Scarlett to protect her.
Arnold frowned and said to her: “What are you trying here?”
Scarlett looked at the staff, but Louise stepped forward: “There seems to be something wrong with the watch parts.
The watch Miss Scarlett brought is the correct one.”
Arnold frowned: “Scarlett didn’t learn to make watches properly.
Do you think a maid like her knows more than my father?”
Scarlett replied: “I learned to make watches the way my parents made them.”
Mile Arnold politely asked, “Who taught Mr.
Evil how to make Crimson parts?”
Arnold frowned.
He went to the wall and grabbed the fire ax and said to Scarlett: “Get out now!”
Even if Arnold Crimson spent his days drinking, he was confident that he would succeed the family.
He quickly realized the seriousness of the problem.
The problem was in one part, but the problem is that its specifications are different.
It will not be enough to repair one part, the entire watch will have to be disassembled.
If Eiffel pays for this, he will collapse, and trust in his watches will be irretrievably destroyed.
Scarlett was terrified by his extreme behavior, but she came forward to protect the employees: “Let’s talk.”
“Get out, I said!”
“Calm down.
Okay, I won't spread the word.
Let's talk...”
Arnold grabbed Scarlett by the neck and pushed her against the glass front, pressing the ax to her neck: “This is not something to discuss!
Do you realize what you are saying?
You want to bankrupt us all?”
Scarlett's eyes widened in shock.
Staff tried to intervene, but backed off upon seeing the axe.
“This is crazy...”
Arnold looked at Scarlett.
Her eyes were filled with will and disdain that could not be hidden.
Arnold felt as if a screw had come loose in his head.
Scarlett was always that way: stubborn as a weed, and stupid at the same time.
He thought it was the worst combination.
She was beaten by Arnold and his sister, and then returned happy when they invited her to play.
She laughed merrily when they treated her kindly, and she was more hungry for love than food.
People who just give for free are looked down upon.
That's what Scarlet Crimson was to the Arnold family.
Arnold said: “Do you know why your life is like this?
Because you are stupid.
You are the one who ruined your life yourf.”
However, she despised him.
How dare you?
Just a watch, what's the difference in its ingredients for you to look at it that way?
Arnold lost his mind, and with the panic and many eyes on him, he thought that killing her might be the cleanest solution.
He felt ecstatic at the thought of killing her with his own hand.
Arnold laughed like crazy and put the ax over Scarlett's eyes: “Shall I make you blind too?”
“Cum!”
“Just come any closer, and I'll stab her.
Isn't spending time in prison better than going bankrupt?
And has this girl done anything noteworthy?”
Arnold knew how to silence Scarlett.
He didn't care about her before, but now he thought and said: “You think you are nice to Isaac, but you are wrong.
Have you seen his eyes?”
“What with his eyes?”
“Look, you don't know.”
“Why?
What’s wrong with them?”
“What's wrong with them?
They're in a sorry state, completely destroyed.”
“Destroyed?
What do you mean?”
“You don't know.
Maybe he used the wrong medicine.
They were covered in something hideous.”
Arnold had suddenly opened the door to Isaac's room one time and saw his distorted eyes.
“Didn't you do anything?
He said he would do anything if you didn't know.”
“And he really did it all.”
Arnold laughed like crazy.
Scarlett has completely lost her strength.
“It was natural for Victor Domfelt to abandon you.
He must have grown tired of you chasing him to love you.”
"And so is Isaac.
There are limits to the tolerance of compassion."
Arnold thought he had completely broken her will, and he should have stopped threatening, but he couldn't.
Anger and excitement mixed, and he lost control of his mind.
Suddenly, Arnold's arm was pulled back.
Scarlett fell to the ground in shock.
Arnold was heard screaming.
Scarlett raised her head to see Victor easily breaking Arnold's arm and leg and throwing him to one of his men.
Scarlett shuddered at the sound of bones breaking, which didn't seem to require effort.
Victor helped Scarlett stand up, looked at her and said: “Scarlett Crimson.”
“Yes?”
She raised her head in astonishment, and Victor asked her with a calm face: “How were you raised?”
"What do you mean?"
“All the men in this family are trying to break you by force.
How were you raised in this dirty house?”
“More than that...
Isaac seems to be sick.”
Scarlett looked at him with strangely clear eyes.
She said: “I used a medicine.
It was said to be pirate medicine, which restores sight...
I sold you to get it...”
Victor looked at her wordlessly.
She added, taking a shaky breath: “Does it have side effects?
I didn’t think about that...
Maybe you know, you know a lot about pirates.”
“I don’t know.
I handed them all over to the royal family.”
“I understand”
Victor was silent for a moment at her disturbed voice.
When she stumbled as she tried to leave, he said, “I'll take you home.
I'll send Isaac there too.”
“Sorry, I always burden you.”
Scarlett muttered and walked out of the store, ignoring the calls of the worried employees.
In the carriage with Victor, Scarlett leaned against the door for a while, then looked at her ex-husband's face.
Sometimes, his extraordinary beauty made her tremble.
I remember Arnold saying:
He must be tired of you chasing him to love youShe subconsciously remembered the beginning of their marriage.
She was so happy to have a family to depend on, she would visit his bedroom in the middle of the night for the most trivial reasons: a good dream, a bad dream, or just a desire to see him.
She opened her mouth: “At night.”
Victor turned to look at her.
She added: “There was no specific reason.
I was constantly visiting your room.”
“I just wanted to see you.
Sorry.”
“What are you saying suddenly?”
Scarlett smiled with eyes red from crying: “I felt like I was annoying everyone.
I’m really bad.”
Since the age of 12, she has been thinking about why no one likes her.
She had a love that no one else wanted.
“I spoil everything...why am I like this?”
Scarlett mumbled and hit her chest with her fist.
It was terrible that she had caused Isaac pain without knowing.
