Chapter 100

He could understand why she looked satisfied about Scarlett coming to join them. It was because she already knew that Scarlett won't be able to make it. Seriously, how could his mother be so mean? "Anyway Ryder, you need to be careful. Someone is trying to make a big deal out of this" Matt said. "What do you mean?" Ryder asked. "The person who saved Scarlett is the male lead of the show. He's really popular right now. Cole. He even has some background. He is quite eccentric and no one knows what he's going to do next. Anyway, someone leaked the news about the accident and is trying to make people believe that Kyle and Scarlett have some kind of relationship with each other" Matt said. Ryder was really completely and utterly disappointed in his mother at this point. Just for some investment, does she really have to go this far? "My mother..." "I checked...your mother isn't the one spreading the news. It's someone else. Sonia....the second lead of the show...she's always been fîghtîng with Scarlett since that both of them debuted and started acting...." Matt said. Ryder hummed to show that he got it. "This accident....can you find out how it happened?" Ryder asked. He was sure that Matt would be able to do it. But Matt did something that shocked him completely. "Don't worry, I already sorted it out. Your mother....she has something and everything to do with this. She contacted Sonia and the both of them colluded to hurt Scarlett. I already have evidence of it...it all depends on what you want to do..she is your mother after all...." Matt said. He felt that Ryder won't really send his mother to jail by himself. No matter what she did, she is still his mother right? But Matt had underestimated Ryder. "Ha! She is my mother? I don't think that she know that I'm her son. She won't try to hurt my wife if she still cares about the fact that I'm her son! Don't worry, I'm not going to go easy on her this time. I just wanted to get rid of her before since she is trying to use me. I thought that I would be able to make her stop and go back to wherever she was before. But it turns out that I was wrong. She came here simply for the reason of courting death. Since she dared to hurt Scarlett this time, there's a big probability that if I let her go she is going to do it again so why should I let her go? So that she can go and hurt Scarlett again? I don't think that I'm they stupid Matt. Prepare the evidence. She is going to jail!" Ryder said. Matt sighed. It had been a long time since he saw Ryder this mad. "You must really love Scarlett a lot right? You are even sending your mom to jail for her ..I'm envious" Matt said and chuckled. "What do you mean by you are envious? Didn't you manage to trick Rose into dating you?" Ryder asked. "What do you mean by trick? I'm an upright gentleman!" Matt argued back. Ryder rasied his eyebrows . "Do you believe that?" He asked. Matt ended the call immediately. He was sure that he was going to be angered to death if he continued talking to this person Ryder had a grim look on his face as he went back to where his mother was sitting. He didn't really expect much from his mother. He thought that the both of them will be able to treat each other politely from now on.... Who knew...... ..... When Ryder walked back, a television station was reading the news. "There's been an accident at the fiming set where actress Sonia is filming a drama. She was saved however by Cole and he got instead. People are speculating about what thier relationship might be...since they've been really close lately....some netizens think that Scarlett is having an affair...." Kate was surprised when she saw the news. She thought that she was going to see news of Scarlett getting hurt....who knew that it was going to be something like this? Scarlett isn't the one who got hurt at all! Seriously, who is that person that went to save her? Why can't he mind his business? But when she saw that the news was trying to make the both of them a cheating couple, she relaxed a little. She could tell that someone was manipulating this from behind the scenes. It must be that actress whom hates Scarlett. It seems that she was not able to hurt Scarlett and so she thought of destroying her reputation. She had to admit that it wasn't a bad idea. She could get rid of Scarlett like this. She was sure that there was no man who would be able to stand the fact that his wife was cheating on him. "What is the meaning of this? I knew it! I just knew that there must be something wrong with that Scarlett! There is no way she is a good person! She even has a relationship with another actor! How can my son be married to such a loose woman?" Kate asked. Ryder didn't say anything. As far as he was concerned, his mother is beyond saving now. She dared to hurt Scarlett. She is definitely going to get her just deserts! Mira was surprised when she saw the news. She hated Scarlett but she never thought that Scarlett was this kind of woman.... To think that she would even cheat on Ryder... Mira still pretended to speak up for Scarlett. "Kate....I think there's a misunderstanding here" Mira said. Kate snorted. "what's there to be misunderstand? I really don't like women like her!" "Kate...but she's Ryder's wife...she can't be that bad right? " Mira said. "Hmph! You don't know what those women are like. Once they see some rich man, they'll do anything to get married to him just for money! You have to be careful!" Kate said. She already had a prejudice against Scarlett even though she had not met her. Ryder wasn't going to let anyone look down on his wife. Even when that person is his mother. "Mom... Scarlett isn't that kind of woman!" He said. Mira was even more affected when she heard the name Scarlett. Besides being her love rival, she was also her step sister. This woman really is doing everything to worm her way into her life right?. She will be sure to take her down. She had better just wait! "Kate, I've heard about the woman that Ryder married. I don't think that she is that bad. I think that she just an actress. Maybe it's for the drama. Actors and actresses will do anything to create hype for thier drama. That's what I heard!" Mira said.. The both of them already had a plan. Anyway, they had to make sure that they destroyed Ryder's good opinion of that woman here today. "An actress? Are you telling me that my son's wife is an actress? What the hell is this?! Don't you know what those actresses are like? Most of them are just classy prostitutes. They would do anything for fame, even sleeping around. Nothing good is ever going to come out from getting married to such a woman!" Kate said. Ryder could not even maintain the fake smile on his face any longer. He was really angry now. What does she think that she is doing? Did she come here with Mira because they want to bad mouth his wife? Is that what they are trying to do now? What even gave the both of them the idea that he was going to let them run thier mouth and do whatever they want? Kate saw the look on her son's face and she thought that her plan was working. She continued to bad mouth Scarlett, Most of them are all the same! After going through plastic surgery, they go ahead to seduce men with thier fake faces! Ryder, you really must not get fooled by such a woman! You have to be careful so that you don't get fooled!" Kate said. Ryder was really angry now. "Mom what are you saying?" "Yes Kate. Maybe Scarlett is not like that. I'm sure that if Ryder went ahead to marry her then he must know the kind of woman that he is. Ryder is not someone that would let a woman fool him. We don't have to worry about him!" Mira said. She acted like she was comforting Ryder and Kate but she was only making it much more worse. She wanted to get rid of Scarlett. Ryder laughed when he got tired of the two women echoing each other. He was really disappointed. His mother caused this accident and she still dared to act in front of him....does she think that he is an idoit? That he doesn't have a way to find out the things that she has done? "Kate....I think that you should just stop now!" Ryder said. He didn't bother to call her mom. He really did not want to have a mother like Kate. Kate was shocked when she heard her son call her name. She felt like she was dreaming. What is going on here? Mira was the first to respond. "Ryder...what is going on? Are you mad at your mom? She just wants the best for you....the issue with Scarlett....I think that there's a misunderstanding" Mira said. Ryder glared at Mira. He really felt that there won't be a person who is as stupid as Mira! "Just shut up the both of you! Kate even though you abándoned me for ten years, I didn't want to blame you. I thought that if we could not be a close mother and son pair we can at least be polite to each other but how can you think of using me? It's bad enough that you want to use me but you just had to hurt Scarlett to do it?" Ryder asked. Kate's gaze shifted when she heard that. She didn't think that her son would know that this has something to do with her. How did he even know?! And what else does he know? "What are you talking about Ryder? I'm your mother! I admit that I don't like your wife but why will I just her? I don't need to go that far right?" Kate asked. "You should ask yourself that question Kate! Did you need to go that far? Just to get what you want? You can wait for the police to come get you!" Ryder said. After talking with Matt, Ryder was sure that he would get on it immediately. In fact he was sure that the police were on thier way here right now. Kate panicked when she heard police. "Ryder! What evidence do you have that I have something to do with this?!" Kate asked. "Evidence? Don't worry! There's enough to lock you behind bars!" Ryder said. Mira got up at once. "Ryder how can you do this? She's your mom! All for Scarlett?!" She asked. "Mira....I really hope that you can be smarter from now on. Don't trust people easily. She is now trying to help you get together with me! She's using you!" Ryder said. "What?" Mira asked. If Ryder had told her this before, she would never believe it. But after the things she heard from her father, she had learned to be wary of people. "She is trying to use you for your father's company! You think she really wants you to be with me? Don't be so naive!" Ryder said. He didn't want to talk to these people anymore. He had to go see Scarlett now! So he walked past them. Just then, police officers walked up to Kate. "Kate you are under arrest for attempting murder. Don't worry, your accomplice Sinks already confessed!" One of the officers said. Kate was handcuffed and taken away in a daze. To think that her son would do this to her! As Mira watched Kate follow the cops, she crashed to the ground. She lost. She really lost now. ........ Scarlett stood outside the ward. She was trying to process the fact that she had a bigger family now. So Cole was her cousin? It was a good thing that he was fine now. "Scarlett!" Scarlett turned to see Ryder. Her heart immediately swelled up when she saw him. She had seen the news of his mother getting arrested. To think that he will go so far for her. She immediately ran to hug him. Ryder hugged her back. "Don't worry. I already took care of it all!" END!
