Chapter 14
Harrison returned to the college, found Dylan, and got straight to the point.
“Mr. Houghton, please give me the contact Information for Scarlett’s research institute. I need to bring her back.”
Dylan was stunned by his words. “Young man, are you out of your mind? That project is a top level national initiative, not some casual job! Every researcher was meticulously selected. Once They’re in, they can’t just walk away!”
Harrison, usually composed, felt a surge of irritation. His tone sharpened. “Mr. Houghton, you don’t understand, Scarlett didn’t actually want join the Institute. She only left because we had an argument two days ago. She left just to splle me!”
That had to be it.
Even now, Harrison was convinced that Scarlett had acted out of anger because of what happened in the past few days.
He continued, “She’s going to regret it in a few days. If she stays, it’ll only disrupt the project. It’s better if I bring her back now.”
Dylan frowned. “What are you talking about? Scarlett didn’t decide to join this project two days ago.”
Harrison froze.
As he walked out of the college, his mind remained in a haze.
Dylan’s words echoed in his ears, “Scarlett called us last week, saying she wanted to join. She was firm about it. We even double–checked multiple times, and she never wavered. This wasn’t some impulsive decision.”
Harrison froze in his tracks.
Last week–the same time he had proposed marriage. That was when Scarlett had first mentioned canceling the engagement.
At the time, he’d thought she was just being dramatic.
But she had been serious. As she called off their engagement, she had already secured a spot in the research project and made plans to leave.
But why?
Back then, the auction hadn’t happened yet. Neither the drugging incident nor the fire had taken place.
Chapter 14
What had made Scarlett so determined to leave?
Harrison couldn’t figure it out. Still lost in thought, he arrived home, only to find Matthew sitting in the living room, looking pleased.
“Harry, you’re back! I have good news. We can finally schedule the wedding!”
