Chased Her Around After Breaking off His Engagement

Chapter 662 Dismissal 

“Mr Lisa, I honestly had no clue what you were talking about,” Scarlet asserted, standing her ground. “I was getting older, and there were numerous things I couldn’t recall anymore. If you wanted to accuse me of something, you should have reminded me of what I did or said. Without any context, I have no idea which incident you were referring to…”

As Scarlet maintained her defiance, Lisa’s voice grew cold. “It appears that in addition to the incident captured on video, you have been mistreating Isa privately. You packed your belongings and left. Cecilia had grown up, and she no longer required your care.”

Scarlet’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing this, but before she could react, Lisa had already ended the call. Mr Lisa wanted to dismiss her and kick her out of the house?!

Scarlet couldn’t wrap her mind around what she had just heard. She stood there, stunned, momentarily before attempting to call Lisa again. However, there was no response on the other end each time she dialed.

After numerous unsuccessful attempts, Scarlet’s hands trembled as she mustered the courage to send a voice message to Lisa.

“Mr Lisa, I have faithfully served this family for eighteen years. Were you planning to dismiss me out of the blue? What kind of incident led to such a profound misunderstanding on your part? I could clarify it for you…”

Five minutes ticked by… Half an hour went by…

Meanwhile, Lisa’s silence persisted, with no punctuation mark in response. Scarlet’s grip on her phone tightened, overwhelmed by mounting anxiety.

Mr Lisa must have watched that video; otherwise, he wouldn’t insist on dismissing her!

The memory of that incident flooded back, haunting her even after all this time.

It had occurred years ago, yet its weight still prevented her from finding inner peace.

After the maid Eliza cleaned the garden, Scarlet purposefully tipped over two buckets of oil onto the wet ground. She intended to cause Isabella, who would soon finish her shift, to slip and fall on her back.

Under the bright sunlight, the giant oil stains seamlessly merged with the water on the ground, making it challenging to differentiate between them. Without careful scrutiny, it would have been impossible to discern which patches were oil and water.

Scarlet was convinced that she had flawlessly executed her plan. However, her confidence was shattered when, half an hour later, Isabella returned home from work. Isabella walked into the villa’s main building using the main garden path, utterly unaffected by any mishaps.

At that moment, Scarlet and Miss Cecilia concealed themselves behind the curtains, watching in disbelief as Isabella walked towards them unharmed, without any mishaps. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Isabella informed Miss Cecilia that Benjamin had been waiting outside the villa, wanting to converse with her.

Miss Cecilia had been overjoyed because she had dreamt of having just a few words with Benjamin.

Filled with apprehension, Scarlet rushed to follow Miss Cecilia’s footsteps, hoping to prevent her from falling. However, despite their careful and cautious steps, they still inevitably fell.

Miss Cecilia slipped first, and when Scarlet tried to catch her, she lost her grip and tumbled down as well. Both of them were then carried into the living room, lying on the sofa, their cries of pain echoing through the room.

This incident caused alarm for Williams and Eloise.

Initially, Eloise felt sympathetic towards Miss Cecilia’s injuries. However, when Eliza and Liz suggested finding the responsible party behind Miss Cecilia’s fall, they unjustly blamed Isabella. This sparked fury within Eloise.

Scarlet never anticipated that Isabella would be capable of recovering the deleted footage.

Who knew what sort of dubious skills Isabella had learned outside?

However, the truth was revealed later when surveillance footage proved Isabella’s innocence and exposed Scarlet’s carelessness as the cause of the oil spill, resulting in both her and Miss Cecilia’s falls.

As a consequence of this incident, Eloise imposed a fine equal to one month’s salary on Scarlet, and Liz and Eliza were both

They had thought the matter would end there, but Isabella secretly showed another surveillance footage to Scarlet.

At that moment, Scarlet learned about the existence of “SkyEye”!

According to Miss Cecilia, SkyEye wasn’t an ordinary surveillance system available on the market. It was said to be smaller than a grain of rice but could capture detailed street views of the entire Bomsville, even down to the license plates of cars and the actions of individuals.

Rumours circulated that only top executives held the

authority to access SkyEye. Some believed its purpose was to enhance the city’s quality of life and safety. On the other hand, there were those who speculated that it would initially be utilized in Bomsville and eventually be expanded nationwide to apprehend criminals through this advanced technology.

Irrespective of the motivations driving the creation of SkyEye, Isabella had acquired surveillance footage that provided undeniable proof. It depicted Scarlet positioned behind the truck’s cargo area, unscrewing the cap of a cooking oil bottle using her hand. Subsequently, upon entering the house, she feigned a trip and fall, deceiving those present.

At that moment, Isabella even confronted Scarlet, asking if the person in the surveillance footage was indeed Scarlet. If Scarlet had doubts about the person’s identity, Isabella could have sought assistance from others to confirm.

Caught in that predicament, Scarlet found herself compelled to kneel and apologize to Isabella. Isabella had made it clear that as long as Scarlet ceased scheming, she would refrain from showing the footage to the family. However, to Scarlet’s dismay, Isabella ultimately broke her promise and lied.

Isabella showed the video to Mr Lisa!!

What should Scarlet do next? How can she handle this situation?!

Scarlet’s plan was only partially achieved…

Scarlet couldn’t leave the Logan family under any circumstances!

With this thought in mind, Scarlet dialed Lisa’s number once again.

Lisa returned home at 6 PM after a busy day at the company. Scarlet dropped to her knees before him as soon as he entered the house.

“Mr. Lisa, I know I was wrong; please don’t dismiss me!”

Despite Scarlet successfully dismissing all the household staff from the living room using excuses, Myra, who felt that something was wrong, discreetly gathered a few maids on the second floor to observe Scarlet’s actions.

Now, witnessing Scarlet kneeling before Mr. Lisa, weeping bitterly, the maids who had gathered on the second floor suddenly felt a sense of unease and surprise.

Lisa coldly looked at the person kneeling on the ground. “Have you remembered?”

“I understand which incident Mr. Lisa was referring to…” Scarlet pleaded tearfully. “Mr. Lisa, please give me another chance. I’m begging you…”

Lisa’s icy gaze showed no sign of warmth, and his voice remained cold. “What chance?”

With tears streaming down her face, Scarlet lifted her head.

“A chance to change. To realize my mistakes.”

“What mistakes have you realized? What have you understood?”

Scarlet was taken aback. Could it be that Mr. Lisa had no idea

what mistake she had made and was trying to deceive her? But considering how severe and indifferent Lisa’s expression had been, he must have known something. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so

angry.

So, Scarlet lowered her head again and said, “I shouldn’t have spilt the oil on the ground, almost causing harm to Miss Isabella… I’m truly sorry, Mr. Lisa. I knew I was wrong. I also received my punishment for that incident. I fell flat on my back, dragging Miss Cecilia down with me… I also kneeled and apologized to Miss Isabella, who forgave me!”

Scarlet raised her head, hoping for Mr. Lisa’s forgiveness.

Spilling oil on the ground? Intending to make Isabella fall?

It turns out that Scarlet has done this kind of thing!!

Lisa’s eyes reflected an even colder light. “And what else?”

“That was all, that was all…” Scarlet shook her head while crying. “I hadn’t done anything else!”
