Flirting With My Ex-husband
Chapter 744

Scarlett looked at him with a half-smile.

Raymond's expression changed slightly.

Since Scarlett asked this question, she probably knew what had happened back then.

Raymond didn't hide it from her. "Her name is Riya. She met a robber and was killed ten years ago. She called me that night, but I declined directly and put her number on the blacklist." "Jalen thinks it was I who caused Riya's death."

Raymond had never thought that he was wrong about this matter. Even though the Parke family decried him for being coldblooded and ruthless, Raymond still thought that he was not wrong.

Riya had always called Raymond to disturb his life before the accident. But Raymond was not a good-tempered person. If Raymond hadn't cared about Jalen's feelings, Raymond would have ignored Riya and put her number on the blacklist a long time ago.

That day Riya took the liberty of going to his apartment to clean up, but she broke his computer, which stored the paper that Raymond completed after staying up late for more than a week.

Raymond was so angry that he really wanted to beat Riya, but he refrained from doing so.

And he had never told anyone about this thing.

Regardless of how Riya disturbed his life, it was his freedom to choose whether to answer the phone or not that night. Though something bad happened to Riya, Raymond should not be blamed. "Did Jalen tell you about this matter?"

Scarlett shook her head. "Alexis told me."

Raymond didn't expect Alexis to tell Scarlett about this matter. He asked, "Do you also think I was wrong?"

Scarlett didn't mind the relationship between Riya and Raymond, nor did she think that Raymond should be responsible for Riya's death.

Riya should have called the police immediately, instead of calling Raymond.

Of course, some people thought that Riya may have been too terrified and lost her mind at that time. Perhaps she just set Raymond's phone number as an emergency contact. It was the quickest and most convenient way for her to call Raymond.

Riya clearly knew that Raymond disliked her, but she still set Raymond's phone number as an emergency contact. She was really silly.

Although it may be a bit offensive to Riya, Scarlett really thought so. Perhaps Riya wanted to force Raymond to save her.

Under those circumstances, anyone with a bit of conscience would save her after answering her call. If Raymond had answered the call, the best outcome would have been that he saved Riya while the worst outcome was still that Riya was killed.

But it was all in the past, and Riya could not be brought back to life. If Raymond had answered the phone and rushed to the scene to save her, this would undoubtedly give Riya another reason to pester Raymond.

Raymond hated Riya so much that he declined her call immediately and put her number on the blacklist. It was clear how irritated Raymond was about Riya's usual behavior.

In this matter, it was the robber who should be blamed for robbing and killing Riya. Others should not be held responsible.

Scarlett was quite rational. She would not do vicious things, and she would not be excessively soft-hearted.

In society, people tended to show more respect and mercy to the dead, so even an innocent person involved had to take some responsibility for a dead man.

Scarlett understood why Raymond asked this, because probably almost everyone thought he was wrong.

But she didn't think so.

"You didn't do anything wrong."

Scarlett looked at him with her eyebrows arched and gave a smile.

Staring at her, Raymond suddenly pulled her into his arms. "I was not wrong."

After so many years, only Scarlett thought that he was not wrong.
