NovelOnlineChapter 1996
---- Chapter 1996 Nonetheless, love was one thing. What if that love was misplaced? What if all these years of
nurturing and investment had been wasted on the wrong person? Scarlett wondered if Maurice could handle that
kind of heart- wrenching pain. Fortunately, everything was still hidden beneath the surface, and no matter how
one looked at it, Joe appeared to be a true Driscoll. Otherwise, he could not have inherited such excellent family
genes.
This was how Scarlett comforted and reassured herself. After saying goodbye to Maurice, she got in the car and
headed to Driscoll Corporation, where she had always held absolute power over the family's business operations.
Franklin was already waiting in the car, having finally changed out of his robes into casual clothing. When
Scarlett got in, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Praise the Eternal Eclipse, Ms. Driscoll!" Scarlett
remained expressionless. "Mr.
Gurney, since you've left the monastery, there's no need for that act anymore. That casual outfit you're wearing
looks pretty expensive." ---- Franklin chuckled. "It does look quite nice, doesn't it?" As he laughed, he smoothed
down his clothes with satisfaction. Scarlett's mouth twitched as she felt disgusted by what she saw. One look at
the clothes, and she could tell they had been bought by Mia. Why was she buying fine clothes for her former
lover in front of the entire Driscoll family?
She felt stifled but did not dare say it aloud. After all, Mia was not just any woman. For now, she was still
Maurice's wife. Speaking against her would be insubordination, and the consequences would not be worth it.
Still, the fact that Mia was so close to Franklin, completely ignoring the family's pride, made Scarlett think she
really was a shameless bitch. "Mr.
Gurney, you're recognized as the number one martial master in Gabo Creek," Scarlett said, steering the
conversation back to business. "With your skill, what are the odds of you taking Andrew down?" Franklin's

exceptional. He's not a martial saint, yet he can unleash the slevel of power and has high-level techniques
to back it up. In that way, he's a lot like Victoria.
So, I'd say I'm 80% sure." Scarlett smiled. "That's as good as a sure kill. That's good enough." Franklin narrowed
his eyes. "As a monk, | shouldn't take life lightly. But this man has committed too many crimes, and heaven itself
would not tolerate him. | have no choice but to rid the world of him for the greater good." Scarlett did not
respond, though inwardly she was full of contempt. He was the worst kind of hypocrite, pretending to bea
righteous monk while living like a shameless fraud.
She knew the real reason Franklin
