Pampered by the Demon

Scarlett’s heart softened.

She blurted out, “Allen threatened me again today. He said to me that…”

Scarlett was just about to tell everything that had happened to her when the phone on the table suddenly rang.

This was an internal line that only rang in an emergency. Mike mentioned Scarlett wait a moment and turned to receive it.

The call was from Daniel, and something was wrong at a factory overseas.

The matter was urgent, and Mike needed to immediately deal with it.

Scarlett, who was on the side, listened to the phone and asked with concern.

“What’s the matter?”

“Not a big problem. I’ll hold a meeting. You wait for me here. Don’t be too anxious. Wait for me to come back!”

Mike wanted to comfort Scarlett. In his opinion, Allen couldn’t act recklessly for long.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

However, the current situation did not allow him to say more words. Others were waiting for him to go over and host the meeting.

Scarlett nodded.

Before Mike left, he flicked her forehead before going downstairs for the meeting.

After Scarlett was comforted by Mike, her uneasiness had been reduced a lot.

Mike said he could help her solve all the problems.

This feeling of having someone backing her up was really good.

She decided that when Mike returned, she would tell him everything, including how Allen threatened her and how Allen wanted to steal the Abraham Group’s exclusive program.

Any problem, as long as they thought of a way together, would be solved.

She did not want to hurt Mike because he was good to her. Mike also said that he wouldn’t forgive her if she betrayed him.

Thus, she chose not to hurt him.

This thought made Scarlett feel completely comfortable as she patiently waited for Mike to return.

Mike went out for a long time, Scarlett walked around and suddenly thought of the small iron box in his drawer.

What’s inside?

Last time she almost saw it.

She went over to open the drawer and there were no more boxes in it.

He had taken it away.

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Mike did not bring his phone when he went downstairs.

Scarlett wanted to answer the call, but she felt that it was not good to answer someone else’s phone without permission.

However, the phone rang again.

She picked up the phone and wanted to see who called. The number on the screen stunned her.

The nursing home?

She was very familiar with this number, but if something happened to her mother, why didn’t they call her first?

Scarlett was afraid that something would happen to her mother, so she quickly picked it up.

“Mr. Abraham, things have been done according to your instructions.”

It was the Dean’s voice.

Scarlett was stunned. What did Mike order?

The dean seemed to have been used to Thunderbolt’s silence on the call. It was not strange that there was no response on the other end of the phone and continued to report.

“Mrs. Julia was all right this week. We have adjusted her accommodation and food to the minimum standard, and the acupuncture that prevents her from speaking will continue to be given to her. Rest assured, we will not improve her treatment until she shows that she misses Miss Scarlett!”

The phone dropped onto the table.

Her mother’s accommodation and diet were all the worst, and it was ordered by Mike!

“Hello, Mr. Abraham, are you listening?”

What was heard was Scarlett’s cold voice.

“I want to know what order Mike gave you. Why did he abuse my mother?”

The dean was silent for a moment, not expecting it to be Scarlett.

“Tell me! What are you trying to do?” Scarlett was about to go crazy.

Her mother’s voice was destroyed by other people!

And they deliberately gave her mother the worst food!

What did Mike want to do? Why was he so cruel to her mentally ill mother while being tender and sweet to her!

Scarlett’s anger was transmitted through the phone. The dean also knew that he had caused trouble and did not dare to say anything else. He hung up the phone.

Scarlett was burning with rage right now. Her first reaction was to ask Mike about it!

She never did anything to hurt Mike.

She took care of his daily life, liked him very much, and had never taken advantage of him.

She was prepared to give her whole heart to him. This scum treated her only family like this.

Scarlett angrily kicked the table twice. Suddenly, she recalled the dean’s words.

They would never improve Julia’s treatment before Julia said she missed Scarlett.

Could it be that Mike was doing this for her sake?

Was it because Mike saw her mother treat her like that, and he took revenge on Julia in his way?

Scarlett was very conflicted right now. She grabbed the little toy that Mike had bought for her and pinched it in her hands.

She was in a dilemma. Who should she trust and what should she do?

By the time Mike got things done and returned, Scarlett was no longer in the office.

She only left him a note, saying that she had gone home because she was uncomfortable.

Mike did not think much of it and only focused his gaze on the flower that she had given him today.

This kind of lily with blood-colored pistils was called Casablanca, and it means desperate love.

However, he preferred the balloon flower because it represents true love.

When Mike returned home, it was very late. There was no midnight snack on the table, which made him, who had been tired for a day, slightly unhappy.

But when he returned to his room and looked at Scarlett who was curled up in bed, that bit of unhappiness also turned into worry.

“Still worried about Allen?”

He took off his coat and thought of hugging her on the bed, Scarlett covered herself in the quilt with a look of resistance.

Mike decided to take a shower first and talk to her when he came back.

When he came out, Scarlett closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but it was seen through by Mike.

He reached out and pulled her over, forcing her to lie in his arms and opening her eyelids with one hand.

“What are you pretending to do?”

Was she trying to pretend to be asleep in front of him?

Scarlett opened her eyes and replied in a cold tone.

“No one can compare to you in terms of disguise, right?”

He was so calculating that he was able to abuse her mother while hiding it from her!

This was how he treated her family when she liked him heart and soul!

“Don’t be weird!”

Mike didn’t know what she was struggling with, and he thought that she was venting her anger on him.

“Tell me, how did Allen threaten you?” he asked, stroking her hair.

When he was dealing with that urgent matter, he was also thinking about this matter in his heart, afraid that Scarlett would let her imagination run wild at home.

“Same as before, he threatened me to let you help the Lauren Group.”

Scarlett had originally intended to tell him the truth, but after she heard that call, she dismissed the idea.

Right now, there was no way for her to believe this man who hurt her mother behind her back.

‘Mike, how can you deceive me when I love you so much?’ Scarlett’s eyes were filled with complexity.
