?Scarlett could sense Xander didn''t want to talk about it anymore, so she didn''t pursue him.


    But, once again, Ang Lane crossed her mind. She can''t avoid her because she still owes $1 Million for ruining her dress, and the quickest way to contact Ang Lane is through Xander.


    However, she was worried that this man would be irritated again if she asked him. She didn''t know why Xander was so defensive whenever she talked about that woman.


    She took a deep breath before trying to form the words she was going to say.


    After seeing his expression looking calm, she finally found the courage to ask.


    "Xander, I apologize in advance if my words will bother you..." Scarlett stopped when she saw him frowning.


    "What is it!?"


    "It''s about Ang..." Before she could finish her words, Xander stopped her.


    "You!" His deep eyes darkened as it was apparent he was angry.


    Scarlett panicked when she saw Xander look away as if he didn''t want to talk to her anymore.


    "Wait, wait, don''t be angry. Xander, can you please listen until I finish my sentence, huh!?" She asked.


    After seeing the man looking at her, she continued, "Xander, I''m not using you of having a rtionship with her. I believe you, but I have to settle this matter with her. Because if I don''t do that, I''m afraid she will make things difficult for me. I don''t like that woman and her manager. They are heartless and maniptive people…."


    Xander''s expression softened slightly after hearing her words. "You don''t have to do anything. I''ve solved that problem. They won''t appear in front of you anymore."


    "What!? Did you pay for that dress? The price is so high!? She said it was $1 Million, and the memory..." She didn''t know whether to exin it or not. But seeing Xander faintly smile made her confused.


    ''Why did he smile!? So are the memories real? Gosh!!'' She felt a nameless anger slowly rise again in her heart. How annoying!


    Xander raised his hand and gently patted the girl''s head to make her smile again. He could see this girl looking sullen.


    "Well, that''s just nonsense! The dress was given to her because she is the Brand ambassador for the brand. It just so happens that the brand is under Riley Group. So, she lied to you when she said it was a birthday present from me..."


    He had never imagined Ang would dare to use his name to lie to others. And he couldn''t let that happen because that woman could ruin his reputation.


    Scarlett was dumbfounded. ''That shameless Ang… how dare she lie to me?''


    "And I have already punished that woman. Now, she will never get a job from the Riley Group. She is banned." He smiled.


    She gulped in shock after hearing the punishment.


    Xander''s punishment is the same as the death penalty for Ang Lane. If that woman was banned from Riley Group, allpanies would do the same. This means that Ang''s career as a movie star and celebrity in this country is over.


    "I hope you are happy with my punishment for her." He lifted his lips teasingly when he saw her blushing cheeks. "...and if you''re unhappy, I can make her leave voluntarily, or if she refuses, I can deport her from the country."


    Of course, she was happy to hear that, but somehow, she felt a bit sorry for Ang.


    "No... No... Xander, t-that''s enough." Scarlett said nervously. Worried this man would actually do it.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    pαndα`noν?1--сoМ "Are you sure?" He raised his eyebrows. "That woman and her manager verbally bully you!"


    Scarlett was surprised at his words. So, from the start, Xander was there and overheard their conversation!? This man! Heartless. Why didn''t he show up and get her out of there quicker? Gosh!


    "Xander, did you hear everything?" She red at him.


    Xander didn''t say a word. He just smiled at her.


    Seeing the look in his eyes almost captivated her again. She turned her face the other way to hide her blushing face.


    Later, they are busy with their activities and no longer talk about anything. Xander reads his work on his iPad while Scarlett sleeps.


    Shortly after...


    Their jetnded on B Ind.


    They headed to the Front Beach Hotel before going to the hospital. But halfway through, Scarlett received a call from James.


    "Hello, James... Why did you call me?" Scarlett was surprised to receive his phone call. Likewise, Xander, who sat beside her, seemed to raise his eyebrows, curious.


    "Ma''am, sorry if I disturbed you. However, I have to report this... I don''t know if this is important or not. Just now, I got word from the person you asked to guard your sister Nicole..."


    Scarlett remembered something. Before flying to the capital yesterday, she purposely asked James to protect Nicole. To protect her from a distance after her father was attacked — afraid that pervert Mr. Frans'' people would attack her sister too.


    "It''s oke, James. What happened?" Scarlett asked worriedly.


    "Well, your sister entered the hotel at this time, and she was in the room for almost one hour... Upon investigation, the room was booked by her mother..." James exined.


    Scarlet''s heart almost stopped beating as a thought crossed her mind; when that evil woman almost sold her to that old pervert man.


    ''Is Lauren going to sell her own daughter too? Has she gone mad?''


    "Ma''am, please tell us what to do?" James'' question made Scarlett snap out of her trance.


    "J-James, please ask your man to stand in front of the room. I will check something first..." Before they barged in, she needed to check the CCTV in the hotel. "And, please tell me the hotel name and room number?"


    She hung up the phone after she got the information.


    "Scarlett, what happened?" asked Xander worriedly, seeing Scarlett''s face turning pale. "Do you need my help?"


    Scarlett didn''t answer him. She just shook her head and took out herptop. Her eyes stared at herptop screen while her fingers danced across the keyboard fast.


    It only took a few seconds for the hotel corridor CCTV footage to appear on herptop screen.


    After watching the CCTV footage for a few minutes, she suddenly felt her blood ripple. She had never felt this furious before.
