Chapter 847: Chapter 847: I’ve Gambled Again

Jason looked towards him, "Do you want to talk to him for a second??"

"They are so greedy. I have no money now. Even if he sees me again, I have no money to give him anymore." Scarlet said in a cold voice

Jason didn’t say a word. He didn’t tell her he’s given Ashley one million dollars.

Scarlet was a woman with self-respect. She didn’t want to show her awful family. Even though she told him, Jason still needed to take care of the softness at the bottom of her heart. He still needed to care about her feelings

Jeff came to her company every day. But the receptionist kicked her out every day. Finally, Jeff didn’t show up. Scarlet finally took a relieve,

But she didn’t know this was just a start.

Jeff went to visit Edie.

When Edie came to Scarlet’s company to talk about her wedding, she saw Jeff at the door

Edie knew Jeff because she was the best friend of Scarlet. Edie went to Scarlet’s old house before. She saw Jeff before.

Seeing Edie, Jeff froze. But he immediately realized the girl in front of him was Mrs. CEO, the wife of the president of L.N, a wealthy woman. When Edie called him uncle politely, he immediately realized that the girl standing in front of him was his daughter’s best friend.

All of a sudden, he burst into tears in front of Edie.

He told Edie that he’s been starving for several days.

Hearing his words, Edie had no choice but took him to the restaurant. When Scarlet arrived, Jeff was already full. He also drank a lot of wine. At the moment, he was sitting on the opposite of Edie, smoking in a quiet relaxing way.

Sitting in front of him, Edie didn’t know what to say to him.

She was pregnant. She couldn’t approach the smoke. But she didn’t know how to tell the man the opposite.

When Scarlet walked in, she immediately dragged Edie behind her and shouted at Jeff angrily, "What the hell do you want?"

"Scarlet, look at my hand."

Seeing Scarlet, Jeff immediately showed her his fingers.

His tail disappeared.

"Scarlet, I’ve gambled again. They found me and forced me to return the money. I’ve lost all my money. So they cut my tail finger off." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"What about the money I gave you? That 150 million?" Scarlet was so angry that her face turned red.

"I...I’ve lost them all...while gambling...."

Jeff lowered his head to avoid looking at Scarlet’s eyes and said in a trembling voice.

Hearing his words, Scarlet was shocked. She kept hearing something ringing around her head.

She’s spent many years working hard to earn such a large amount of money. Then Jeff spent all the money on several days. He lost them all in several days by gambling.

Before she recovered, Jeff continued, "I...I didn’t expect it would end like this. I drank that day. So I told everyone that day that my daughter gave 150 million dollars to me. They heard my words. So they came to gamble with me that night. They cheated. In the end, I lost all my money. I really didn’t expect this. Besides, I also lost your grandmother’s house...."

The house...

The only thing Scarlet’s grandmother left her.

Even Scarlet earned a large amount of money now, she didn’t want to move out of the house because this house was her grandmother’s.

She didn’t expect that Jeff would also lose this house.

Scarlet raised a smile at the corner of her mouth. At the moment, her face was so pale, like white and pure gardenia, that would fall down at any moment.

"Wow...so funny. It is so easy for you to lose them. Do you have any idea how hard I work to earn such an amount of money? Do you know how long I’ve spent on this? Do you have any idea that this house is the only thing my grandmother left me? Do you know?"

She said. The smile remained on her face. But tears poured down from her eyes.

Jeff also realized how asshole he was. After all, it was 150 million dollars. It was really a large amount of money.

Staring at the man in front of her, Scarlet wondered why there was such a kind of parent existing in this world.

Her grandmother was such a good woman. Why was his son such a bastard?

She thought her grandmother must be so disappointed in heaven when seeing this.

Scarlet looked towards the wine bottle on the table. She suddenly rushed to the bottle, crashed it, and rushed to Jeff.

Jeff was frightened immediately. He ran away from her. Edie also dragged her tightly.

"Scarlet, calm down. He is your father."

"Father? Have you seen any father forcing his daughter to die? Do you know what he’s done to me? Now what I want to do is to kill him and go to jail. I don’t care about anything anymore," Scarlet burst into tears and said in a crazy voice.

Jeff also cried out. He knelt down on the ground, keeping slapping himself.

"It’s my fault. I really should be punished. I am a bastard. I am sorry. I should apologize to my mother. It would help if you killed me. I don’t deserve existing in the world with you."

"So great. I am so glad that you know this. Okay, let’s go to hell together today."

Scarlet really couldn’t stand him anymore.

She broke down when she heard that Jeff lost her grandmother’s house to those gamblers.

Fine. She could die with him. After dying, she didn’t have to suffer from this.

Edie tried all means to stop Scarlet from doing anything stupid. Seeing two waiters staring at them in shock, Edie shouted at them, "What the hell are you doing? Take him away now."

The waiters finally reflected. They immediately dragged Jeff out.

Scarlet fell down on the ground. A wine bottle slipped down from her hands.

Edie finally saw her hands were bleeding.

Glass pieces were inserted into her palm. Blood kept oozing out.

Edie immediately called the ambulance. On the way, she drove Scarlet to the hospital, she called Jason.

Scarlet’s right hand was badly injured. She might not be able to hold the pen for a long time from then on. Besides, her right hand might tremble for a long time.

When the doctor told this to Edie, Edie covered her mouth in shock.

Scarlet was an editor. She needed her hands to work. If she could no longer use her hand, what should she do?

Edie looked at Scarlet. Scarlet could no longer focus on the doctor’s words. She looked blank at the moment.

At the moment, she looked like a corpse without any thoughts. Like a doll without a soul.

Seeing this, Edie was heartbroken.

Soon, Jason arrived. Seeing Edie in the corridor, he immediately asked her. "Where is Scarlet?"

"The doctor is wrapping the wound for her. The doctor told me, she could no longer hold the pen for a long time from now on.... what could we do now?"

What could we do?

Hearing Edie’s words, Jason almost broke down.

He stood out of the door, looking at Scarlet in the room. His heart started aching hard.

Shit. He was such a useless man.

"Could you help me take care of her for a moment? Time for lunch. You must be hungry now. Let me buy some food for you," Edie said. She wanted to leave them a moment alone.

Jason nodded. Standing at the door of the ward, he looked so lonely and lost.
