Chapter 287 Heading South

"Mrs. Scarlett Smith, what would you like to eat? I can cook something for you... Don't worry too much, Ms. Smith will definitely come back safely. Mr. Michael Smith and Mrs. Emily Smith have already gone to look for her, haven't they?" Lexine tried to comfort Scarlett.

Scarlett said in anger, "Do I need you to tell me this? Get out, get out of here!"

Lexine originally had good intentions, trying to persuade Scarlett to eat something so she wouldn't starve.

But she didn't expect Scarlett to be so ungrateful. Not only did she curse and drive her away, but she also threw a pillow towards the door.

Lexine's face changed instantly, and before leaving, she silently spat towards the door. At that moment, Scarlett was even angrier.

She wasn't angry that Veda had run away from home and was still missing. She was angry at Mason, Emily and the unfair treatment she received in this family.

Scarlett always prided herself on having given birth to a son and a daughter. She felt that everyone in this family should treat her with respect.

But she never expected that because of Mason, the head of the Smith family, her status would plummet. It was bad enough that her own daughter didn't listen to her.

She also had to be humiliated in front of her son and daughter-in-law.

The more she thought about it, the more jealous and resentful she became.

Scarlett's fists clenched tightly, and the hatred spread like vines, tightly wrapping around her, making it impossible for her to break free.

Scarlett wanted to escape this environment, to break free from this cage. She knew there were many problems to solve, but Mason was the first major obstacle.

On the other side, Michael and Emily saw that Veda's location had left Emerald City and was heading south, but the signal gradually disappeared. It seemed she had booked a flight in advance and was now on the plane.

Michael also wanted Andrew to book two tickets.

But it was too late and too rushed. Not only were tonight's tickets sold out, but even most of tomorrow's were gone.

Helplessly, Michael and Emily had to drive through the night. Fortunately, both of them were good drivers, so taking turns wasn't too exhausting.

He didn't want to trouble Emily further and knew that the distance between them was too vast now. They were no longer a couple in the true
