Goodbye Cheater Hello CEO’s Wife by Payne Walter

Chapter 67

Scarlett glanced at Felix coldly. “For now, I can only offer you a place to stay, but it’s your choice. My hopes now all rest on this child. If you want a better life ahead, you’d better pray for a safe pregnancy and a son for me. And don’t stir up trouble for me.”

Felix raised his brows, clearly displeased. “You’re getting too big for your boots. How dare you talk to me like that!” He raised his hand, about

to strike Scarlett.

Scarlett stared him down coldly, without dodging.

“Cut that out!” Fiona intervened, pushing Felix away and shooting him a look.

Then she turned back to Scarlett, sitting by her side affectionately. “Scarlett, who’s the father of your child? What’s his family background

like?”

Scarlett glanced at the disgruntled Felix, then leaned back against the couch. “He’s Zachary Winslow, the son of the CEO of Avid Ventures

Real Estate,” she remarked.

“What? Real estate? He must be loaded then. Real estate is booming these days,” Felix exclaimed as he sat down on the other side of Scarlett, eagerly looking at her.

“Even though I’m carrying Zachary’s child, he already has a marriage contract. On the day of his engagement, our affair was exposed, and now his fiancée has called off the engagement. However, she comes from a wealthy family, and his family is reluctant to let go of this prospective daughter–in–law.” Scarlett smirked.

“What? I won’t allow it! Scarlett, what can I do to help?” Felix, upon hearing that, rolled up his sleeves with a fierce look, ready to take action.

Scarlett gave him a disdainful look. “I’m currently staying at their place because of the baby I’m carrying. His mom is anxious about the baby, but they won’t approve of Zachary and me getting married because I don’t have the family background his fiancée does.”

“So… are you planning to be his side piece?” Fiona asked, probing.

The beautiful Scarlett wore a chilly smile. “Impossible! I must marry into the Winslow family with honor and become the lady of the house in the Winslow family.”

Fiona nodded approvingly, placing her hand on Scarlett’s leg. “Scarlett, I support you! You must marry into a prestigious family and change your background. You’re so talented, with your looks and education, you wouldn’t disgrace their family in the slightest!”

“Mom is right. Scarlett, both Mom and I support you!” Felix chimed in.

Scarlett scoffed. “Support? What support do you have to offer? I’m seen as a lowly woman from a humble background in their eyes. If they found out I have a gambling–addicted brother, they would be even more opposed to Zach marrying me.”

Felix avoided Scarlett’s gaze, muttering, “I’ll change it. Isn’t that enough?”

Fiona, unable to bear seeing Felix like that, quickly jumped in, “Don’t worry, Scarlett. I’ll keep an eye on him this time, won’t let him cause trouble for you. You can trust us. We’re family, and we’ll have your back.”

Felix quickly chimed in, “Yeah.”

Scarlett stood up, not even looking at them. “Remember what you said earlier. If I make it, you’ll have it good. If not…”

With that, she grabbed her bag, extracted a wad of cash from her purse, and placed it on the coffee table. “Watch your spending. Even though I’m staying at the Winslow residence now, I have no freedom and no money.”
