Chapter 456 Sweet and Smooth

“In any case, I won’t agree!” Scarlett’s voice grew louder again.

After a sigh, he said, “This is prejudice. You upset me.”

With that, he turned and went upstairs, leaving Scarlett staring at him in disbelief.

Kelly patted her chest and said, “Luna and Josh haven’t even met many times. Even if he likes her, she may not necessarily like him back. Dating him seems deliberate.”

Of course, Scarlett knew that Luna had ulterior motives, but she had already captivated Josh.
