GoodReadScarlett thought for a moment. "I think it's about the bet thing." Alexis snorted disdainfully, "Is she a sore loser or something?" "Yeah." "I'll go with you! Maybe she has strick up her sleeve!" Scarlett didn't decline her offer, but when Libby showed up, Scarlett stopped Alexis. "I think | should talk to her in private." Alexis curled her lip. "Okay." It was very cold, but Libby was wearing a dress with a stole around her shoulders, standing on the edge of the yacht's deck.
As Scarlett walked over, Libby turned around and said, "Scarlett, do you really have to pushso hard?" After hearing her words, Scarlett couldn't help but lift her eyebrows. pushing you?" She hadn't heard such a funny joke for a long time.
"You really want the bet to continue?" Scarlett looked at her. "Miss Jones, we're adults, and adults are supposed to be responsible." Hardly had Scarlett finished speaking than Libby suddenly climbed onto the rail. "If you refuse, I'll jump off! There are many reporters on the shore, | suppose? How many years do you think you'll spend in jail if | tell them you pushedoff?" Scarlett thought, 'Tsk, so this is her plan.’ Scarlett's lips curved upwards in a smile. "Well, actually, I'm kind of eager to see you jump off." Libby trembled all over with anger. "Scarlett! I'm serious! I'm not messing with you!" Scarlett looked at her, the smile fading from her face." I'm serious as well. Miss Jones, you might have forgotten what happened three years ago, but | haven't." Scarlett still remembered Libby pushing her into a swimming pool in the presence of the large crowd.

Alexis who had been making a video with her cellphone was also stunned. She promptly ran over and said, "Is she crazy?" Scarlett glanced at Libby who was in the sea. "Maybe." After saying that, Scarlett pivoted around to get help.
Libby could swim so she wouldn't drown. It was very cold. "Since she likes to jump into the sea so much, | should let her soak in there for another while,” Scarlett thought.
Unsurprisingly, when Scarlett brought smen to help, Libby was crying and cursing loudly down there.
Scarlett turned to glance at Alexander and said, "Go, M r. Smith." Alexander clenched his teeth but didn't move.
It was not that he was heartless. Libby used to be on the state swimming team. He really didn't have the guts to jump into the sea in such cold weather as Libby had done.
The lifeguards dragged Libby ashore. At the sight of Alexander, Libby hurried over to him. "Alex, it's her! She pushedoff!" Scarlett was standing a short way away from them, watching Libby put on an act.
Holding her cellphone in one hand and a megaphone i n the other, Alexis played the video that she had recorded.

The cellphone was small, and images of the video were not very clear, but their voices were magnified b y the megaphone, and everybody present heard them distinctly, including Libby.
Libby who had been crying and demanding that Alexander call the police instantly shut her mouth, unable to utter another word. She leaned against her brother's chest, her face flushed.
All the lookers-on were seeing her as a laughing stock. Feeling terribly ashamed, Libby burrowed her face into Alexander's chest and said, "I want to go home! Alex, takehome! Boohoo!" Even Alexander who had always been thick-skinned felt too embarrassed to linger. He scooped Libby up in his arms and hurried off.
When passing Scarlett, Libby peeped through the gap between Alexander's arm and his chest and saw Scarlett standing there with a thin smile on her face, her charming eyes glinting frigidly.
Libby instantly felt a complete joke.
