The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 347 - Being Ruthless Is Better Than Poor!

SCARLETTE

Scarlette had a gentle smile on her face as she eyed the booth that was designated for Grant and his team. Today, she is going to show them that kicking her out of his team was the wrong thing to do.

"Still no news?" Scarlette asked her assistant, Trevor. This was the man who had been helping her lately.

"No."

"Grant didn't look like he missed his sister?" she asked.

"No. He was busy with his computer."

"Cold-hearted son of a b*tch," she uttered inwardly. How could a brother still focus on his work despite knowing that his sister had been kidnapped? In the past timeline, Scarlette didn't know anything about Sienna. Now, she thought this might be because Grant personally got rid of his own sister just so he could have the company.

Just as she expected, rich people were all ruthless. But then again, being ruthless is better than being poor!

She would rather become one of the rich than suffer again!

She smiled and looked at the other people around. Everyone was walking to and fro, all busy with their own software. Isn't it exciting?

Sadly, someone had already taken the prize. And that someone is her.

Today is the day that she starts a new life!

Away from this damn hell hole.

She squinted at Amanda before turning her attention back to her own team. "The boss is arriving soon, you should warn the others to stop looking at their phones and start working instead." The project that she had been working on is already finished.

They tested it and so far, the results were considered good. Even the people from other companies who saw their project

Because of this, most people on her team had been slacking. Of course, another reason why they were already acting like this is that everyone has been very confident that they would win.

"Also… call the media outlets and give them the news that they release once they announce the winners for this event." She added. In fact, this show was only for the people to check out their products.

The people who were judging this tech contest already tested their products this morning. After a while, the top three will be announced and they will be allowed to present their newly developed software in front of everyone. Then, there will be another round of judging for the award.

But the thing is, the top three don't need to worry about the award anymore as presenting in front of everyone will gather a lot of new investors and sponsors for the company.

Just as she expected, the boss arrived after a few minutes. This was considered a big deal as the big boss doesn't really show up in events like this. He only did it because of a deal that she made with him.

"How confident are you?" Mr. Nakamura asked. "I invested a big fund to hire those people that you requested. My expectations are very high."

"I am a hundred percent sure that we would win this year's contest."

"I heard that the new CEO is a genius at programming. Is that gonna be a problem?" He asked while looking at Grant's booth.

"No sir."

"Hmmm… good. I love the confidence."

Scarlette faked a smile. While she was very confident that she would win the award, she wasn't very pleased that her plan to get Grant failed.

She invested too much to get that guy. In the end, everything was ruined because of his damn sister. At least, they already kidnapped Sienna. That woman won't be able to do anything today.

"Mr. Nakamura sir, you don't have to worry, everything is in accordance with our plan. We will win the award and become the number one tech company in the country." Of course, she would also get the thing that she wanted the most.

And that is… freedom.

Mr. Nakamura sponsored her project and even graciously agreed to give her a way out. A recommendation for her to work abroad, a passport, a new life. And most importantly, Mr. Nakamura would use his influence to arrest John and his group of thugs.

Mr. Nakamura assured her that John is going to rot in prison for the rest of his life.

Just the thought of it was enough to make her excited. Because of this, she had been planning her next move.

She already calibrated the information that she could recall from her past life and already knew where she was going. Though it would not be easy, she was confident that she would be able to live a carefree and happy life.

She side-eyed Grant and Amanda again and smirked.

So what if they are going to rule this world in the next few years? True, they are smart and lucky! But this world does not belong to them!

She could still find someone to help her succeed too!

"Good. I am looking forward to some good news. I will contact the higher-ups and assure them that we will succeed. Also, make sure to show to ROUSE tech that we are the best."

Scarlette beamed. "Of course. Thank you. Mr. Nakamura."

…

Grant Rouse

"Are you alright?" Amanda asked Grant as she handed him the coffee. "You look like you haven't had any sleep since yesterday."

Grant maintained his silence. He leaned back and stared at his computer screen. Actually, he wasn't really doing anything since he arrived in the hall. To make it look like he was busy, he had been tying some unimportant codes.

"Yeah. Good."

"Is this about Miss Sienna?"

Grant didn't answer. Even if he would say something, Amanda wouldn't understand him. Everything had been so complicated. He hated it.

Since that night, he had been trying to avoid Sienna. And it was slowly destroying his mental health. He couldn't even look at the woman that he loved!

How could his parents do something so despicable?

And most importantly, why does it look like Sienna is not even angry?

She looked calm. She had been acting like this didn't concern her at all.

All Sienna wanted was to witness the downfall of Scarlette.

That woman.

Why does it seem like Scarlette is more important than Grant and their family?

His face darkened… should he just… kill that woman?
