At this moment, the door behind Vincent opened up. Then, a lady wearing a doctor''s white coat and a stethoscope hanging around her neck walked out.


    The lady possessed a height of about 168 cm, with blonde hair that was currently tied in a ponytail, and a blue tight jeans, accompanied by a white T-shirt inside the coat.


    The moment that the lady appeared, she looked around. Then, when she noticed Scarlet, she immediately headed towards her with a smile on her face.


    "It''s been a long time since we last met Scarlet. How have you been?" The lady asked with a smile as she hugged Scarlet. From this, it could be seen that the two of them seemed to be quite familiar with each other.


    "Nothing much. Just been going around while feeling a little uncomfortable." Scarlet responded as she struggled to get out of the embrace.


    "What are you struggling with? Why don''t you tell Vincent about it? I''m pretty sure that he can help you with that, right?" The lady asked with a cheeky smile on her face.


    Vincent on the other hand wanted to complain. Had it not been for the fact that currently, his mouth was sealed by the bandages, he would have already spoken.


    Still, the embarrassment could be seen through his eyes, together with annoyance. But still, there was nothing that he could do right now. After all, he was not going to be beating his cousin, and additionally, with his mouth sealed, there was nothing that he could say.


    In the end, he could only helplessly continue standing in the same position, while hoping that his cousin would not speak much nonsense. At the same time, he hoped that Scarlet would have them leave this place as soon as possible. He was not willing to be closer to this cousin of his at all.


    She was just too overprotective that it was embarrassing at some moments. That was especially so considering that he was a man. In fact, it was his cousin that had made him start competing with Scarlet.


    Otherwise, considering the relationship between them, he would have definitely not been trying to compete with Scarlet, especially considering the fact that she was a lady. It was just that he was trying to prove his dignity as a man, that he could not be defeated by a lady.


    "Nah. That is something that he cannot handle at all. I''m pretty sure that if I tell him about it, he will definitely run away." Scarlet responded with a smile. At the same time, she stole a glance at Jaden through the corner of her eyes.


    The lady raised her brows a little upon hearing that. At the same time, she had noticed that Scarlet had stolen a glance at Jaden. She looked over.


    The guy looked quite ordinary, but still, he was kind of charming. It might be true that his appearance was not considered as the most handsome, but still, he was quite handsome. Additionally, he possessed quite a high charm.


    With a knowing smile on her face, the lady asked, "So, you have already gotten a boyfriend? I never thought of that. What capabilities does this guy possess to be able to make Vincent back off?"


    For the first time, a shade of red appeared on Scarlet''s face before it disappeared. She immediately glared at the lady in front of her and said, "Susan, what nonsense are you talking about? He is not my boyfriend. I don''t have a boyfriend."


    As she said that, she glanced at Jaden. And when she realized that there was no any change of his expression to what Susan had said, she was immediately relieved. She hoped that Jaden would not get any ideas about her. She was not willing to have a boyfriend at this moment. In short, she was not ready to get in any relationship for now.


    "Oh." Susan responded with raised brows. But still, it was clear that she did not believe what Scarlet had said. Scarlet on the other hand did not say anything more, even after realizing that Susan did not seem to believe what she had said.


    "Hey, my name is Susan. I am Vincent''s cousin, and Scarlet''s friend." Susan went ahead and introduced herself to Jaden as she offered her hand for a greeting.


    Jaden reacted immediately and stretched his hand to receive hers. He gave a nod and said, "My name is Jaden. Nice to meet you." Immediately after saying those words, he released her hand.


    Susan looked at Jaden with some kind of curiosity. At the same time, she asked, "You know, your introduction is kind of incomplete. When I introduced myself, I stated the relationship that I share with Scarlet. So, what is the relationship between you and Scarlet?"


    Jaden was just about to respond when suddenly, Scarlet came and stood between the two of them. She glared at Susan and said, "What does it concern you about the relationship that we share? Anyway, I don''t think that it is that much important."


    "Oh ho! Now look at that! I knew it. The relationship between the two of you is definitely not that simple. Why are you trying to hide that you are having a boyfriend? It is normal for a girl of your age to have a boyfriend.


    So, you don''t have to be embarrassed about it." Susan stated with a knowing smile.


    "Who is embarrassed about having a boyfriend? I just don''t want to have a boyfriend right now. Additionally, he is not my boyfriend, instead, he is my bodyguard." Scarlet responded a little exasperatedly.


    She understood that if she did not clarify the relationship between Jaden and herself at this moment, Susan would go ahead and think that the two of them were in a relationship.


    It was not wrong for her to get into a relationship. But still, she was not willing to get into a relationship at this moment. Additionally, she was not willing to have any form of misunderstanding. So, it was better for her to clarify things right now, before the misunderstanding began spreading out.


    "A bodyguard?" Susan asked with a surprised voice. At the same time, she continued to scrutinize Jaden after she pushed Scarlet to the side.


    She then shifted her gaze and looked at Scarlet and asked, "Are you sure about that? Why does it seem like you are lying? This guy does not look like a bodyguard at all."


    "How can I not be sure about a person''s role? He is the current bodyguard that my family got for me. Okay, no more questions." Scarlet responded helplessly. Susan was quite talkative and was always curious about almost everything.


    So, most of the time, Scarlet would try to avoid her, especially during the time that there was something that could make Susan curious about her. If she met with Susan during the time that there was something that she could get curious about her, then Susan would definitely not let her go with a barrage of questions.


    "Tsk tsk! I thought that you don''t like bodyguards. But from the looks of it, this one is different. According to how I know you, you would definitely not be standing up for him. Additionally, by now, you would have already found a way to chase this person away." Susan stated bluntly, immediately revealing some of Scarlet''s secrets.


    "Get lost! What do you care?" Scarlet responded a little irritatedly. Nevertheless, she did not want to discuss much more about this subject. She understood the reason why she did not want to chase Jaden away anymore.


    At the end of it all, if she did not want Jaden to be with her, that implied that she would never be allowed to leave her residence, unless her family had already dealt with the Williams.


    Or if she wanted to go out and Jaden had already left, that implied that she would have to get another bodyguard. But of course, she did not believe that it was going to be easy to be able to get a person like Jaden. This guy was always silent, minding his own business.


    At least, that was something that Scarlett was pleased with when it came to Jaden. At least, he did not poke his nose into business that did not concern him. And if she was in trouble, he would offer his assistance. More than that, his skills were way above the bodyguards that she had gotten before.


    If Jaden left, she was not sure that she would be able to get another bodyguard that possessed the same level of skills as Jaden. If that was the case, how was she supposed to be trained?


    "Okay, okay. I give up. Though, I''m quite curious about his origin. Is he that skilled? Otherwise, you would have already managed to send…." Susan raised her hands in the air in form of submission. Then, she went ahead to ask.


    But before she could even finish her statement, Scarlet had already covered her mouth. Currently, Scarlett was looking at her as if she was going to swallow her whole. So, in the end, Susan could only give up on the question that she was hoping that Scarlet could answer.


    "Alright. We are leaving." Scarlet stated. From her tone, it was clear that there was no room for discussion. Immediately after saying those words, she turned around and headed towards the exit.

    Jaden immediately followed behind her, before the rest of the group did so. Vincent was also following the group, hoping that his cousin would not notice her, when his movements suddenly froze when Susan spoke up.


    "Hey Vincent. Make sure you take care of yourself. Additionally, don''t take off those bandages. Make sure that dad and mom see them. Otherwise, I''m going to wrap you up like a mummy the next time that we meet, and I''ll ensure that you will no longer be involved in risky things." Susan stated with a serious expression on her face.
