Chapter 170: Enemies Were Destined To Meet

Rita's POV:

I was at home with my mom, enjoying my cup of coffee.

My mother seemed to be really concerned when I told her about the filthy thoughts that my father had
for Scarlett.

Wiping her tears away, she said, "It looks like he is really determined to be with her."

Unwilling to talk about Scarlett anymore, I looked out the window, feeling irritable.

All of a sudden, I heard the doorbell ring, and when I saw that it was Richard, I could not help but
frown.

‘'How dare he come to me after leaving me alone in the middle of nowhere?’'

As soon as I opened the door, Richard barged in with his men, pointed at my room, and said, "Move
everything out of that room."

Seeing the group of men walking to my room, I immediately stood up and stopped them.

"What are you doing?"

Glancing at me for a moment, Richard pushed me aside and walked straight into my room.

I ran to my room, pointed at them, and roared, "Get out of here!"

However, Richard ordered his men, "Let's get this done quickly, gentlemen!"

I immediately pushed the men who were trying to take away my jewelry and shouted, "Stop! Those are
my things! You're robbing me."



But then, Richard grabbed my hand, pulled me aside, and hissed, "I think you know exactly whether
they're your things or not."

He then turned to the others and added, "Leave her be.Let's go!"

"Stop! Put those down.They are mine..."

Due to my emotional state, I felt dizzy all of a sudden and lost my balance.

I had to lean against the wall to keep me straight.

However, Richard completely ignored me and said coldly, "You're going to end up in serious trouble if
you don't take good care of yourself.And this time, you may not be lucky enough to survive."

I ran to him and grabbed his collar.

"These are all gifts that Charles gave me.How dare you take them away?"

"Well, they belong to Scarlett and Charles now.They have every right to take them back."

Saying that, Richard peeled my hand off his collar and left with his men.

Stumbling, I tried to chase after them.

My mom was so worried that she tried to help me, but I coldly shook off her hand and watched as
Richard loaded my belongings in the car.

"We won't be taking the wedding dress with us, so you can look at it whenever you miss Charles."

Richard glared at me with a snort and left.

I gripped the door to prevent myself from falling down.



Anger was burning within my heart, suffocating me with its flames.

All of a sudden, another group of strangers knocked on the door.

They were two gorgeous women dressed in tight clothes, who walked to me and threw a big box at me
with a plain look in their eyes.

"Who are you?" I asked coldly.

They looked at me and one of them replied flatly, "We came here to return these things to its owner."

I opened the box and found the photos that I had sent to Scarlett.

However, the photos were all cut in half, and I got the side that only had Charles' picture.

Looking at it I became so furious that I felt my head hurting.

"As for your photos, if you want to see them, you can search them online," one of the women said.

I raised my head and glared at her.

The other one eyed me with disgust and complained, "You look so pretentious in the photos that it
makes me sick."

With that, they both turned to leave.

"Stop!"

I shouted at them angrily.

But they just left anyway.

I kicked the box, took out my phone, and dialed Lily's number.



"Are you free tonight? I have something that I need to talk to you about."

"I can make time."

It did not take too long for Lily to agree to my request.

However, the anger burning within me did not cool down at all.

Thinking of the complacent smile on Scarlett's lips, I could not help but want to tear her face apart.

That evening, I went to the restaurant where I was supposed to meet Lily, and bumped into Scarlett
accidentally.

I saw Richard following her like an obedient little puppy.

But then I noticed that Scarlett was looking pretty fine.

In fact, her belly looked bigger than it was before.

‘'Didn't she just miscarry the baby? What the hell is going on?’'

While I was lost in thought, Scarlett glanced at me and said slowly, "Why do you look so pale? You
should go to the hospital for a check-up.You need to take good care of yourself."

"Are you cursing me?"

I wanted to slap her.

It would have been really great if she fell and had a miscarriage.

But the next second, Richard grabbed my hand and stopped me.

"What does this mean, Richard?" I asked angrily.



Wasn't he in love with me? Why was he going up against me? Scarlett straightened up her clothes
slowly, pretending to be nice and gentle.

"He is my personal bodyguard now."

"Damn you!"

I cursed angrily, throwing my bag at Richard's face.

However, someone grabbed my wrist the next second, and a sharp pain surged through my hand.

I turned around, and saw that it was one of the women who had come to my house earlier that
morning.

"Let go of me!"

I hissed at her.

The moment she loosened her grip on my wrist, I crumbled to the floor, losing my balance.I looked at
her dazzling smile awkwardly as I threw my bag on her face.

She dodged my attack effortlessly, and I stood up to slap her.I then spat on her face.

"You are just a dog who works for Scarlett.How dare you be so arrogant to me?"

In a concerned tone, Scarlett asked the woman, "Are you okay, Janet?"

The woman called Janet puffed up her cheeks and looked at me coldly.

"What? Are you angry now?" I sneered.

"Know your place."



I quickly reached out to grab her hair.

Since I was not able to do anything to Scarlett, I wanted to hurt her subordinate in front of her to
humiliate her.

However, the next second, a sharp pain pulsed through my scalp as Janet grabbed my hair and yanked
my head back.

"Ah..."

While I was crying out in pain, I felt a loud, hard slap across my cheek.

The second I fell to the ground, there was a short period of darkness when I could not see anything or
figure out what was happening.

I was in so much pain that I could not help but burst into tears.

Looking at Richard, I questioned, "Are you really just going to stand by and watch me get bullied?"

Richard looked down at me expressionlessly and stood beside Scarlett.

With a sad look in my eyes, I asked him, "Have you forgotten that we had a baby together?"

"You have killed our child on your own," he hissed.

Lily, who got there a little late, helped me up and said in an anxious tone, "Let's get out of here, Rita."

"Did you ask Lily to drug Abner?"

Scarlett asked me all of a sudden.



Lily glanced at me before she stepped forward and said to Scarlett, "Don't sling mud at her! I never said
that she was the one who made me do it."

"Then it must be a mistake."

With a meaningful look, Scarlett turned around and left.

Lily explained immediately, "Rita, are you okay? I met an acquaintance of mine coincidentally.That's
why I got here a little late."

I shook off her hand and looked at her in silence.I could sense a hint of panic in her eyes, but she
continued to pretend like she was calm as she said, "Scarlett's only saying that to cause trouble
between us.Don't let her fool you."

I looked at her with a fierce glare and threatened her, "You'd better not slander me, or I will teach you a
lesson."

Lily grabbed my hand and promised, "Rita, please just trust me.I really didn't do such a thing.We're
both in the same boat now, and there is no way that I would go and make trouble for myself."

"You'd better keep your promise.You know what I'm capable of, right?"

I snapped before I pushed her hand away and walked towards Scarlett's box.I felt like I needed to find
out what was going on with her pregnancy.

But then, just when I was about to push the door open, Richard stopped me.

"Didn't Scarlett have miscarriage?"

He stood there without saying a word to me, like a log of wood.

"Tell me what happened with her."



I could not help but ask again.

"I have nothing to tell you," Richard replied indifferently.

"That's impossible! How could she have escaped the accident unharmed? She lied to me, didn't she?" I
asked him, grabbing him by the collar.

"Let go!"

Shaking my hand off, he pushed me away.

When I looked up, I saw Charles walking towards me with a frown.

Unlike the gentle and tender man in my memories, he seemed rather cold and aloof.
