Chapter 72
At the time, Gale had apparently seen Scarlett, and he walked up to her car with the flowers, blocking her path. Scarlett raised her eyebrows. She lowered her window and asked, "Mr. Conway, Is there anything I can do for you?" "I was being rude yesterday. Today I came specifically to apologize to you."
Whoops! She'd never seen anyone bring red roses to apologize before, and the man had come to her house.
Scarlett smiled, "I don't feel offended. If you want nothing else, please step aside. I'm driving into the garage."
The gate was already open and Scarlett's car stopped right in front of it. She was about to drive in, but Gale was in the way.
Gale raised his hand and looked at his watch. "It's still early. Would you like to have a drink with me?"
Scarlett recognized the watch. It was a classic mechanical watch from CV, worth over two million dollars, almost the price of her car.
His move looked ridiculous in Scarlett's eyes like a kid showing off his toys. Scarlett didn't give a damn about
it.
"No, I don't feel like drinking today."
Gale continued to pester her, "May I come in for a glass of water?"
The smile on Scarlett's face faded, "We happen to run out of water."
"Then I'll order a drink and have it delivered here.
Would you mind letting me go in and sit for a while?"
"Sorry, but I can't."
Scarlett didn't want to waste her time on such boring things. She pushed open the car door and got out of the car. Looking at Gale, she pointed at her car. "Mr. Conway, Do you recognize this car?" "Yes, it is the latest limited edition of Ferrari last year. There are 100 units worldwide. Each one is over $3,200,000."
Scarlett nodded and smiled, "I think you know the property price of Juanton City, right?"
"I don't know much about that. But I know the price of your house. This house is located by the lake. It is worth about fifty million dollars, isn't it?"
Suddenly, Gale realized something. "Do you like a car or a house? I can give you either of that."
Fifty million was not a small amount of money, but for a woman like Scarlett, she was worth it.
Scarlett raised her eyebrow, "Mr. Conway, you've been mistaken. You may not know that I bought the car and the house myself."
Gale froze for a moment. If he didn't understand what Scarlett meant by that, he would be too stupid.
He was ashamed to think he had just shown off his wristwatch.
But everyone knew that when Raymond and Scarlett got divorced, Scarlett didn't take any property or money, so Gale couldn't believe she'd bought the house herself.
Scarlett guessed what he was thinking. She snorted,' Not to mention this one, I could afford to buy ten houses like this. So, Mr. Conway, don't waste your time on me, it will only make you..."
Then she paused for a moment and raised her eyebrows, with a chill charm in her eyes, "make a fool of yourself."
Her words seemed to be a slap in Gale's face.
Gale had never been humiliated like this before. He got angry, "Scarlett, don't flatter yourself! You know very well how you earned your money. Don't think you're a big shot because you made some money from Raymond!"
Scarlett furrowed her eyebrows. She was about to respond to him. Suddenly, a car horn sounded and a car drove up from the left.
She subconsciously tilted her head to look over. The headlights were blinding. She raised her hand to block it. The next second, the car door was pushed open and Raymond stepped out of the car. Scarlett froze. She watched Raymond walk up to her. She was a little confused, "What's up?"
Raymond glanced at the irritated Gale, "Mr. Conway, since when do you like to use coercion to a woman?"
Gale had been compared to Raymond since he was a child, and Raymond was always doing better than him. When Gale was younger, he always resented it, then he gave up when he realized he could never match Raymond. He always tried to avoid Raymond afterward.
He was so interested in Scarlett mainly because Scarlett was Raymond's ex-wife.
He thought that since Raymond hadn't won Scarlett's heart, and if he won the woman's favor, that would make him better than Raymond, wouldn't it?
Now that Raymond was here, Gale felt weak. But he was still trying to save his face. "You're the one who likes to use coercion! Men like pretty women. I'm seriously pursuing Ms. Reed. How is that coercion?" Then Gale shoved the bunch of roses into Scarlett's hand. "I'll call you later!"
Immediately after, Gale got into his car and drove off.
