Scarlett Johnson had never been afraid of such threats. Having lived a life of turmoil alongside her brother since childhood, there was no type of scoundrel she hadn't encountered.
At that moment, she stood her ground with unyielding spirit, "The bid I won through my own abilities, on what grounds do you threaten me? Others might be intimidated, but I certainly am not!"
Miller Wilson never expected such a young girl to have such audacity, "You're asking for trouble – just you wait!"
Scarlett knew that in such a public place this man would not dare to lay a hand on her. He was truly graceless, envious of others' success without any skills of his own.
Unwilling to argue further, she simply left.
The next day, returning to the Harrell clan, she shared the good news of her successful bid with Leo Harrell, who offered formal praise.
Scarlett chose not to inform him about the trouble she had with Miller Wilson.
Back at her desk, she started to collect information on Miller Wilson.
