Chapter 216 Scarlet Gets Framed
Upon stepping out of the car, Scarlet’s eyes fell upon the upscale, luxurious residential area. It fueled her anger to its peak.
How dare that sc*mbag George spend so lavishly to allow that wretched woman to live in such luxury!
No wonder that b*tch Linda has the audacity to openly declare war on me now. It’s all thanks to George spoiling her!
With determined strides, a fuming Scarlet stormed into the residential area, vowing to confront that woman and make her regret ever crossing paths with George.
Following the floor number provided by Linda, Scarlet quickly located the apartment.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, she was greeted by the sight of Linda leaning against the door frame in luxurious silk pajamas.
Scarlet made a beeline for her.
“Scarlet… Ah!” Linda didn’t even finish her sentence before Scarlet delivered a resounding slap, knocking her to the ground.
Without waiting for her to react, Scarlet delivered three swift kicks before stepping over her and barging into the apartment. She then turned, grabbed Linda by the hair, and dragged her inside.
With a loud bang, the door slammed shut.
The entire sequence of events unfolded swiftly, without a moment’s pause.
Linda was left dazed and disoriented on the floor while listening to Scarlet’s barrage-of insults.
“You filthy w*ore, seducing my man. You sly fox, I’ll disfigure your face with scissors and see how you’ll seduce men then. You little sl*t…” Scarlet ranted as she ransacked the entire living
room.
Linda had anticipated something like this happening, but she hadn’t expected Scarlet to be so relentless. Her heart raced as she watched the furious Scarlet headed toward the kitchen.
Panicked, Linda scrambled to her feet and attempted to escape through the door.
Scarlet heard the commotion, turned around, and immediately charged over. She grabbed a

handful of Linda’s hair, dragged her inside, and delivered four hard slaps across her face, causing Linda’s lips to split.
“You little slut, you dare to run away! If you move again, I’ll kill you!” Scarlet’s face was filled. with fury.
Linda’s face throbbed with pain, blood trickling from her split lip down her chin and onto her collar. “Scarlet, you old hag, how dare you hit me! George will surely defend me!”
“He’s just a passing fancy, a temporary plaything. Do you really think he’ll come to your rescue? Dream on! Once I’ve disfigured you, let’s see if he still cares.” Scarlet sneered, her eyes filled with malice.
With that, she yanked Linda’s hair and dragged her toward the kitchen.
There were knives in the kitchen! Linda felt a wave of terror wash over her. She was gripped with terror and regretted deeply for allowing this deranged woman entry.
Despite the pain in her scalp, Linda fought desperately. She pushed Scarlet away and fled while crying for help. “She’s trying to kill me! Help me!”
Scarlet was caught off guard by Linda’s strength. She clutched a handful of hair that came loose in her hand as she pursued her.
During this time, some people who were not at work heard the commotion and opened the door to see what was happening.
Linda immediately rushed over and pleaded pitifully for help. “Help me. She’s going to kill me, sob…”
Witnessing Scarlet’s menacing approach and Linda’s distress, a bystander stepped forward and blocked her path. “Who are you? Do you realize this is illegal?”
“I’m confronting my man’s mistress. Do you have any objections?” Scarlet retorted.
Despite society becoming more open in this era, having mistresses was still looked down upon by many.
The bystander hesitated and considered it better not to meddle in others‘ business.
These domestic matters were too complicated for outsiders to understand.
Upon seeing this, Linda burst into tears. “No, it’s not true, I didn’t… she… sob…”
But amidst her tears, her words were unclear, and she couldn’t explain properly.

Scarlet seized Linda’s hair and dragged her back inside. She cautioned the bystander, “It’s best not to interfere in others‘ affairs”
The door slammed shut.
The bystander heard a woman’s piercing scream from inside the house.
Meanwhile, Scarlet, upon seeing Linda hiding in the room and deliberately screaming before locking the door, looked at her with bewilderment.
wout of her wind?
After scolding Landa for a while, Scarlet prepared to leave.
Just then, Linda emerged from the room.
Unlike before, although she still looked miserable, there was a smug smile on her face. “You fool, do you know why I gave you the address? Do you know why I let you beat me up on purpose?
Scarlet, reminded by her words, suddenly realized there was indeed something off.
Normaly, a rational person would avoid their ex–partner at all costs. However, this despicable woman took the initiative to come over and didn’t even fight back when she was attacked. Scarlet used to believe she could defeat Linda, but now she sensed something was
attuss
Scarlet’s gaze was sharp, like knives, as she stared at Linda. “Are you planning to report me like last time? Let me tell you, I have many connections, and my position in the Kins Family
secure. I’m not afraid of George!”
She had found it hard to accept because of the decades–long relationship between husband. and wife and never expected George to cheat.
But now, she realized it wasn’t such a big deal after all.
Linda sneered. “Calling you stupid is truly fitting. You can only think this far, huh.”
At that moment, another knock sounded at Linda’s door.
With a confident smile, Linda remarked, “Your grand surprise has arrived.”
It was the police, whom Linda had promptly alerted upon spotting Scarlet entering the neighborhood.
3/5
Having checked beforehand, she knew it would take approximately ten minutes for them to arrive from the nearby station. Everything fell perfectly into place.
Scarlet quickly grasped the situation. As she was escorted away by the police, she vehemently protested her innocence, claiming she was set up.
Linda shook her head in disbelief and couldn’t help but think how naive Scarlet was.
Even if she was framed, it wouldn’t change anything.
The evidence was clear: Linda had been assaulted, with neighbors witnessing the ordeal and her injuries bearing testament to the truth.
Besides providing the address and photos, Linda hadn’t even hinted at inviting Scarlet to attack her. So, framing her was out of the question.
After Scarlet finished giving her statement, the police decided to detain her for five days for public security reasons and notified her family.
When George received the call, he was dumbfounded.
He initially thought it was his troublemaking son, Samuel, who was causing a stir again, but he never imagined it would be Scarlet.
When he bailed out Scarlet, he couldn’t help but curse directly, “Are you in your thirties and still using your brain as a decoration? You fool, how could you go and hit someone? What were you thinking? Do you want to disgrace the Kins Family completely?”
Scarlet sneered. “I only hit someone because of you. If you couldn’t control yourself, I wouldn’t be in this situation now.”
In front of everyone, her words embarrassed him, so he decided to ignore her for the time. being. “Shrew, I don’t want to talk to you.”
With that, he walked away.
But Scarlet wouldn’t let it go. She immediately started arguing with him. “What? Feeling guilty? Let me tell you, if you continue to hang out with that little vixen, not only will I hit you this time, but I’ll hit you next time, too. Are you not ashamed? At your age, with that smell on you, still messing around with your daughter’s classmate. You really have no
shame…”
“What did you say? You hit Linda?” George looked shocked and angry.
Upon seeing George like this, Scarlet felt extremely upset, so she decided to let it all out. “Yes.
4/5
If it wasn’t for your precious little sl*t, would I end up like this? Huh, you think she’s some kind of good girl, but she’ll use you up and leave you high and dry.”
George was so angry he raised his hand to hit her but was stopped by James, who couldn’t help but say, “Dad, Mom, this is the police station.”
They continued arguing from inside the police station to outside.
George restrained himself.
It really wasn’t appropriate to fight in front of a police station.
He snorted coldly. “I’ll settle the score with you later!”
With that, he left first.
