Scarlett was snapped out of her thoughts, whether she actually agreed or not, she had to agree for Grandma Victoria's sake, what could she argue? Nothing, she's just an ordinary girl who is trapped by a situation, so Scarlett is forced to agree to the letter of agreement made one-sidedly by Julian.
Scarlett signed the agreement then shook Julian's hand as if without hesitation, even though in her heart there was a strong feeling of fear that was gripping her.
"Okay, I'll take care of our engagement first."
"Are you going to announce it to the public Julian?" Scarlett asked quietly.
"Of course, the public will know that you will be my future wife, Scarlett."
Scarlett just smiled bitterly, then sighed slowly.
"Then how is your relationship with Selena?"
"I've talked to Selena about all this, and she's fine."
Scarlett frowned.
"It means?"
"She will still be my girlfriend, after all, we are just pretending in front of Grandma and the public, right?"
Scarlett smiled coldly. This is just the beginning and Scarlett is very hurt to hear that, but again she has to accept the consequences.
Actually, at that time, Scarlett could have rebelled and run away, but on the one hand, she couldn't bear Grandma Victoria's situation, on the other hand, her departure to NYC was to become an artist and earn so much money.
Scarlett's father is trapped in a large amount of debt and he will be the victim if he cannot pay it within the specified time period.
Yes, Scarlett will be forcibly married off to an old loan shark whose hobby is collecting young women's wives. Scarlett shuddered in horror when she overheard the conversation between her stepmother and father.
Therefore, she innocently asked for help from Anne, who had never liked her, and Anne actually trapped her by sending Scarlett to an unknown address.
Scarlett sighed for the umpteenth time remembering all that incident, so today she has to fulfill her promise to Julian even though it would sound very embarrassing.
"Sorry Julian, did you forget something?"
Julian knitted his thick eyebrows, he didn't understand what Scarlett meant.
"Sorry if I have to remind you again, didn't you promise me you would pay me for all my sacrifices?"
"Is everything you wore and what you bought earlier not enough?" Julian asked with a laugh that sounded strange to Scarlett's ears.
"It was your assistant who forced me, I need money," replied Scarlett in a half-whispered tone.
Although at that time, Julian's two bodyguards had disappeared when Scarlett finished signing the agreement.
Julian laughed even more when he heard that, his gaze suddenly turned mocking.
"My father was trapped in quite a bit of debt there, I don't know what he used that much money for. My father never told me about that."
"So?" Julian responds to the same situation, looking down on Scarlett and thinking that Scarlett is making up a classic story.
"I will be the bet, Julian. If my father can't pay then I will be married off to an old loan shark, he is a man about Grandma's age," explained Scarlett with a sad expression on her face.
Julian was silent, he actually looked at Scarlett closely without blinking, for some reason Julian turned pity because he didn't see the slightest lie in Scarlett's eyes.
"How much money do you need?"
"500.000 dollars," Scarlett answered doubtfully.
Julian smiled a cynical smile. Meanwhile, Scarlett looked nervously waiting for Julian's answer.
"I'll give it to you tomorrow and go home to give it to your father, and also tell him about our marriage. Oh yes, the rest is all on this card, this is an unlimited card and you can buy whatever you want, regardless of price."
Scarlett's eyes suddenly lit up with happiness, she didn't expect that Julian would easily give her the money she needed. If she didn't remember that she was currently in a public place, Scarlett would definitely scream hysterically because she was too happy...
"Thank you, it turns out you are a very good person Julian."
"You've made Grandma healthier, so isn't that worth the price? We help each other."
Scarlett nodded and smiled that happy smile.
Julian also smiled back, he didn't have a problem spending money like that for Scarlett, it wasn't too much money for him. In one of his bank accounts there is still a balance with a fantastic amount.
Julian is not only a famous, handsome actor, but he is also the sole heir to the Caldwell family, his late grandfather who was Grandma Victoria's husband, is a person with a status listed as one of the top ten richest people in the world, so it is estimated that his wealth will not run out even if it is consumed by his seven descendants.
The Caldwell family is known to own several active companies that are currently developing rapidly, starting from the entertainment, property and fashion industries. The company is everywhere, to several big cities abroad.
"This is the food sir, sorry for making you wait too long," said the cafe waiter.
Julian just nodded, he had deliberately delayed the food coming sooner, he wanted no one to disturb his conversation with Scarlett. Julian even rented a private room at the cafe and restaurant.
Julian didn't want his presence at the cafe and restaurant to be known by Julian fans or other visitors.
A typical Middle Eastern food was presented before her eyes, Scarlett smelled the distinctive aroma, even though she had never eaten food like that, she had to be able to adapt to her new life.
"Do you like this food?"
Scarlett nodded, somehow her tongue immediately accepted it and even enjoyed it.
"Good, you should get used to your new life."
Again she nodded as she continued to finish her food. Meanwhile, Julian was busy looking at Scarlett non-stop, however she was a normal man. Scarlett's smile made Julian's heart so calm and calm. Even with Selena, he never felt like that.
"Will one day I be the one to break the marriage agreement?" Julian thought angrily.
Julian averted his gaze when Scarlett caught him, he pretended to be engrossed in his food.
"When will you return to your village?" Julian asked later, making small talk.
"If you let me, as soon as I get the money, I'll go straight home."
Julian nodded as a sign that he agreed, after that the two of them didn't say anything else until their food was finished.
Time passed so quickly, it was already 08.00 pm.
"I have to go back to the shooting location, Jonathan will pick you up and take you home."
"Yes Julian, is Jonathan on his way home yet? I don't feel comfortable waiting here alone."
"He'll be here in five minutes, I'll be here until Jonathan comes."
Scarlett smiled, her heart always suddenly bloomed if Julian gave her even a little attention.
"Thanks Julian."
Julian just nodded without expression, his cellphone rang again, after that his expression changed to very happy.
"Was that Selena who called him?" Scarlett thought curiously..
