Pampered by the Demon

“Mike, she admitted that she had a crush on another man before marrying you. You heard that she did not marry you voluntarily. Don’t be fooled again!” Mrs. Lauren fanned the flames.

“Shut up!”

Mike’s voice wasn’t loud but filled with anger. Mrs. Lauren was intimidated and fell into silence.

Mike stared at Scarlett attentively. His dark eyes were loaded with emotions that Scarlett did not understand.

Frightened by Mike’s gaze, Scarlett clenched her hands into fists.

“Get out of here.” Mike fixed his eyes at Scarlett and said in a coarse voice.

Mrs. Lauren wanted to say something for her daughter.

“Mike, I…”

“Get out of here!”

Even Mrs. Lauren, with all her sophistication, could not bear Mike’s anger. She gave up pleading for her daughter and left hastily.

Miffy wanted to stay and help Scarlett, but she was only an outsider. The problem could only be solved by the couple.

Miffy could only give Scarlett a sympathetic look and follow Mrs. Lauren out.

Only Scarlett and Mike were left in the room.

Scarlett dropped her head to avoid his eyes, but Mike’s dissatisfaction was almost palpable.

She unconsciously grabbed the quilt, not knowing how to explain.

She looked like a cat that had just made her owner’s home a mess and disguised her fear of punishment with a look of indifference.

Mike’s eyes darkened as he walked towards her.

Feeling his approaching, Scarlett thought of that night when he burned her clothes and punished her rudely.

The current situation was even worse.

Scarlett tried to comfort herself but her body trembled uncontrollably.

Mike stopped in front of her. Scarlett nervously closed her eyes. The fault was hers. If he wanted to punish her, let him be!

On second thought, she did not lie. She should not have felt so guilty.

However, she vaguely felt sorry for Mike.

He stretched out his hand and Scarlett’s body stiffened.

Mike noticed her reactions and thought of the content in My Cat Master and Me.

The book said that don’t punish a cat that has just accepted the owner. Otherwise, it might lose faith in human beings and even leave the house.

Richard was still waiting outside. Mike could not let Scarlett close her heart once again to him!

Thus, Mike could only suppress his anger and decided to vent it on Mrs. Lauren and her daughter later!

As for Scarlett…

She was now waiting for his punishment with her eyes closed.

She already regretted it in her heart, how could Mike punish her?

Mike stretched out his hand and gently touched her swollen face that had been beaten by Mrs. Lauren.

Scarlett opened her eyes in confusion, only to see Mike stroking her face with his hand.

“Does it hurt?”

“You… aren’t you angry with me?”

Scarlett asked in surprise.

“No.”

“Why?”

Mike was silent for a moment, then flicked her forehead.

There were already so many people bullying her, he could not be another one.

This was out of Scarlett’s expectation.

Mike was not angry and showed concern for her.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Mike stood up as she was struck dumb.

He took some ice cubes from the fridge and wrapped them in his handkerchief. Then, he put the parcel of ice on her swollen face.

It was cold and Scarlett instinctively dodged, only to be stopped by Mike.

“It’s a little icy, you will get used to it.”

Scarlett scrutinized his expression and felt that Mike has no intention to blame her. She heaved a sigh of relief.

Perhaps, he didn’t hear her words.

She said that she would not marry him if it wasn’t for the Lauren family’s coercion.

Scarlett thought, ‘I’m lucky!

He could not have heard it. Otherwise, possessive as he is, he won’t forgive her and treat my face.’

Thinking of this, Scarlett felt much better.

Her expression did not escape Mike’s eyes.

He thought, ‘I will let you smug now. You will pay it off in the future.’

“Did you really send Wendy into the jail?”

“She deserves it,” Mike snorted.

“Really? Are you so powerful?” Scarlett said with her mouth agape.

‘Is there anything he is incapable of?’

“So what? Are you going to plead for her?”

If she dared to say yes, Mike would knock the idea out of her brain.

Scarlett looked at him strangely, “Why should I plead for her?”

She was not stupid.

Wendy was rude to her mother and bullied her. She was kind enough that she did not celebrate it. It was impossible for her to plead for Wendy.

Absolutely impossible!

“She smashed the shop and refused to compensate. She should be punished by laws. Why should I sympathize with her?”

Mike snorted in satisfaction and knocked her on the head.

“Stupid girl.”

But at least she was not stupid enough to sympathize with Wendy.

Scarlett grimaced. Thinking of what she had done, she felt a sense of guilt for Mike.

“Mike, I’m sorry, I caused you trouble.”

“What trouble?”

“I shouldn’t have fought in the boutique. Will the Abraham Group be influenced? Will it affect your share prices?”

There were two acquaintances of Mike’s in the shop. Scarlett was worried.

“I used a pseudonym, but I wonder if your friends will gossip.”

It would be of no good to Mike.

“They won’t leak it out. Don’t worry.”

Jett and Ben were his best friends. He had every confidence in them.

Besides, even if the skirmish went public, the Abraham Group’s share prices won’t be affected by such a small thing. Scarlett was threatening herself.

“The stock has nothing to do with your little conflict. No one would report about it.”

Jett had broadcast the process to Mike. Mike was very satisfied with the little wildcat’s performance.

He felt gratified that she knew how to fight back.

“However, your method could be improved.”

Scarlett immediately dropped her hands and lent an ear to his advice.
