She's Married, Sir! Novel Chapter 17 Hearing Scarlett say that she could help him get the project , James suddenly became interested . Next month , bidding for the western section of the city will commence , and the old man said that if he could secure the project , he would appoint him as his successor . This time , the competitor was from the Gatsby Group of the capital , renowned as one of the best in the country . It was a daunting task to outdo the Gatsby Group in the professional field , so he sought to win the project by currying favor with Sebastian . But it was too difficult for Sebastian . This time , if not for Lance's recommendation , he wouldn't even be able to see Sebastian . Therefore , it was almost impossible to rely on currying favor with Sebastian to get the project . If Scarlett could help him get the project , it would naturally be best , but …. He asked Scarlett with some doubt , " Since you have something on Sebastian , why didn't you threaten him before ? " Scarlett hurriedly said , " Who said I didn't ? I threatened him before . I said I wanted to be his girlfriend , but he didn't agree . " " So it's useless to threaten him again . " James narrowed his eyes at her . Scarlett said solemnly , " If he doesn't agree this time , I will send the video to Miss Napier . " " You proposed this to prevent me from touching you , right ? " James raised his eyebrows slightly . " That's right . " Scarlett was calm . " I told you that I can't have a physical relationship with someone I don't love . If I love someone . I will naturally take the initiative . But you are trying to force yourself on me , so I have no choice but to propose this plan James had not anticipated that she would own up to it when he exposed her , expecting instead that she would explain . This caused James to regard her differently . A few days ago , she cleverly convinced him that she was smart , but today , she made him admire her . He thought that Scarlett had no interest in money or power , but he did not expect that the person she liked was Jackman Group's heir . No wonder she had no interest in him ; it was clear that her thoughts were on a higher plane than his . This woman was very powerful in terms of her mind , ambition , methods , games , and mediation . If he handed her over , she could potentially assist him in securing the project for the west city ; however …. James grabbed Scarlett's chin and asked her to look back at him . " If you fail , I will let my men gang - rape your friend . " He knew that Susan was Scarlett's weakness . As long as Susan was still there , Scarlett would always listen to him . Scarlett's heart trembled with anger . She gritted her teeth and said , " Don't worry " Only then did James let go of her and said with some pity , " I wanted to have you so bad . But since you're against it . Fine . Help me get the project . It's not a bad trade . " Compared to playing with women , he wanted the position of Forrest Group's heir more . As long as Scarlett could get the project , he was willing to wait for her to fall in love with him before touching her . Thinking that Scarlett would be his sooner or later , James was not so reluctant to part with her . He hugged her and kissed her fiercely , then got up and left . Seeing him leave , Scarlett , who was lying on the ground , breathed a deep sigh of relief . She held the sofa and slowly stood up . Her body was trembling and cold . She was in a state of confusion , unsure whether she was scared of James or angry with Sebastian , leaving her heart feeling as if it was about to suffocate . With trembling hands , she took out medicine from her bag and took several pills to calm her heart before she forced herself to leave . The chill of the wind , heavy with lead , pierced her gown , causing her to shiver from the cold . She walked towards her home , like a statue , not feeling the cold , step by step . The car parked not far away suddenly moved in front of her and blocked her way . Leo walked out of the car and came in front of Scarlett . He said respectfully , " Miss Sales , Mr. Jackman is looking for you " 1/2 12.07 Chapter 17 Scarlett pretended not to have heard him , her expression cold as she kept walking . " Miss Sales , " Leo interjected , " you're aware of Mr. Jackman's temperament ; you mustn't risk offending him . " Yes , she was an orphan with nothing . How could she offend the powerful Sebastian ? If she didn't listen to him , what would happen in the end ? She was afraid that he would be even harder to deal with than James . Scarlett gave up struggling and obediently got into the car … After sitting down , she turned her head to look at the man sitting in the back seat . Dressed in a luxurious suit , a watch worth tens of millions , and driving a limited edition luxury car , he exuded nobility . As for her , she was covered in red wine , sticky d smelly . In front of him , she was like a clown . Such a difference in status made Scarlett not want to stay for even a second . She asked in a frosty tone , " Mr. Jackman , if you have something to say , just say it . I still need to hurry home . " She had always been obedient in his presence , and rarely spoke to him with such assertiveness . Sebastian slightly turned his head , his deep and gloomy eyes seemingly able to capture her heart .
