Darnell remembered that Linley was Scarlett's classmate, the woman who snitched on him to Scarlett when he tried to drug Scarlett at their graduation party.
Linley even pestered him like a mad dog about it, but what was the end of it? Linley could only watch helplessly as he was acquitted.
After all these years, Darnell hadn't expected Scarlett to come to him over such a thing. He said unbelievably, "You want to ruin my life because of her?" Although he hadn't been in Juanton City for years, he still heard about Scarlett.
Not long ago, Scarlett was invited to give a speech on the anniversary of Juanton University as an outstanding alumna.
Even if he hadn't made a point of enquiring about Scarlett's achievements over the years, he knew that she had accomplished a lot in her career.
Scarlett had disappeared from the scene since she graduated, and he hadn't heard from her. He had thought that he would show up in front of her when her career wasn't going well.
Women always had to suffer a lot in society before they gave in.

He chased Scarlett for two years at university, and she ignored him the whole time.
As a man, Darnell would never accept this.
When he was in high school, his family was compensated tens of millions of dollars for land expropriation, and then his family started a company. After graduating, he started his own cosmetics company. Although his company wasn't floated on the stock market, his achievement was better than a lot of people's.
He thought he was worth tens of millions of dollars, and when he showed up in front of Scarlett, he felt sure she would ask to be in love with him.
But it was just Darnel’s idea two years ago, and when he learned that Scarlett was Raymond's ex-wife, he knew it was a dream he would never be able to realize.
To his surprise, when he stopped thinking about Scarlett, she came to him.
Hearing this, Scarlett knew Darnell would never regret it for the rest of his life. She said with a smile, "Yes, what can you do to me, Darnell?" If Darnell had heard such a provocative remark, he would have sent some people to deal with her.
But things today were very different than they had used to be, and he could do nothing to Scarlett.
"| think I've never done anything to hurt you. Why are you so ruthless to me?" "You hurt me when you put some drugs in my glass of wine. This is the justice | demand for Linley. Just enjoy the rest of your life, bastard." After she had finished her words, Scarlett hung up directly, and then she deliberately blocked Darnell's phone number.
Hearing what Scarlett had said, Darnell’s face darkened with anger, but the reality forced him to yield.
If Scarlett did all this, then she was the only one with a solution.
However, by the time he tried to call Scarlett back, he couldn't get through, because his phone number had been blocked by Scarlett.
After all, Darnell was a celebrity at Juanton University, but while Scarlett and Justin were known for being excellent, he was known for being a well-to-do philanderer.
When Darnell was in high school, he became rich because of the land expropriation of his family. When he entered the university, he spent money lavishly. He chased a lot of girls because he had a BMW car. Everybody knew he was a well-to-do philanderer.
The thing that had happened between him and Linley caused a big scandal, and many people at Juanton University knew about it.

It had been years since Darnell graduated, but when something bad happened in his family, all the girls, who had been womanized by him, were happy about it.
Within a few days, Juanton University's forums were full of "a bad penny always comes back" posts, all referring to Darnell.
Linley went to work in Scarlett's company directly after her divorce.
She didn't expect to hear from Darnell so many years after she had graduated.
Living in Darnell's shadow for years, Linley never thought she would hear about his demise.
But she reacted soon. She found that all those who were related to this thing of that year, Jane, Darnell and others, were all having a bad time.
Linley wasn't a child anymore. When Darnell was acquitted, she stopped believing in "a bad penny always comes back".
But now that Jane and Darnell had had their comeuppance, the only person who could help her was Scarlett.
Scarlett dealt with Roland, Darnell and Jane, all of whom had wronged her.
