Chapter 23 Unreasonable Request
Scarlett had no reason to reject his offer.
Considering the awkward rainy night, she asked him to draft a formal labor agreement.
It is written clearly that the employer must not have physical contact with the employee during the employment relationship. After ensuring her safety, she is officially on duty.
Now she was in a new house of Mike, wearing an apron and busy with his dinner.
The 200-square-meter house was decorated as Mike liked, unlike the gleaming golden house of the Mikes.
The tension-filled design carried a kingly air that couldn’t be ignored.
The main tone was black and white gray, noble and cold. But some small furnishings show a little warmth.
It was low-key and luxurious, but would not be too cold. She had never known his designing skills.
The phone rang.
“What’s for dinner?” The employer asked.
“I made the Jade Bamboo Rib Soup.”
“I hate the smell of jade bamboo. I’ll deduct one day of your salary.” He interrupted her bluntly.
In the face of his pretentious fault-finding, she raised her middle finger, but her voice remained gentle.
“The weather has been dry lately, and yucca can clear the heat and be good for your throat.”
After a few seconds of silence, he spoke again.
“I want French muffin.”
A man likes to eat sweet food!
Scarlett made a face at the phone with only the beeping sound.
Just as she was preparing the materials for the French muffin, her phone rang again.
She pressed down the speaker, thinking that it was another call from Mike. She still rubbed the noodles.
“What else do you want? The muffin is already being made.”
“Scarlett, come home tonight.”
On the other side of the line, the arrogant and ruthless voice came.
Allen Lauren was her birth father but didn’t shoulder any responsibility.
Her mother had been doing well at the sanatorium these days, and she had not contacted the Lauren family.
Allen reached her at this time for nothing good.
“Okay.” Scarlett hung up the phone expressionlessly.
She sent a Line message to Mike, telling him that she had something to do at night and had to leave in advance.
Mike replied very quickly and asked where she was going.
Scarlett didn’t want to tell him about the Lauren’s.
As long as she didn’t mention the Lauren family, she got well with Mike.
She replied to him that she was not feeling well and needed some medicine.
He called her immediately. She turned the phone off and pretended to be out of battery.
Allen was hard to handle. She wasn’t in the mood to deal with Mike.
She returned to the Lauren’s.
However, she didn’t know that there was a man who made a big fuss over her casual words.
Scarlett had to be mentally prepared every time she returned to the Lauren’s.
When she stepped into the main house of Lan House, the bronze ornament hit her head, and she couldn’t dodge it.
Although the thing was small, after all, it was a bronze product, Scarlett’s forehead was broken, blood flowing down, and stunned.
“You still know how to come back!” Allen threw the pendulum to hurt her without any semblance of guilt.
Nearly 50 years old, slightly older face could still show her handsome appearance in his youth, at the moment, he stood in the middle of the living room in anger.
His wife and daughter Scarlet Lan were sitting on the sofa, gloating at Scarlett’s misfortune.
Scarlett had long gotten used to such a scene. She had no expression, no fear, and no retreat as if she was an outsider.
She couldn’t cry out in pain or retreat. Otherwise, what awaited her would be even more violent punches and kicks.
“You divorced with Mike, and now you attracted your sister’s man!”
“Mike is not interested in her. This is not something I can control.”
Her words made Wendy dissatisfied. She stood up and pointed at Scarlett with her sharp nails.
“Liar! You seduced Mike, so he didn’t notice me!”
“Compared to you, which one of us is more coquettish?” Scarlett retorted.
Wendy was speechless. Compared to Scarlett’s plain and casual clothes, she was completely defeated.
Although Scarlett couldn’t win over Mike, she still had an overwhelming advantage over Wendy.
She was taken back to the Lauren family when she was 9 years old. Until she was 18 years old, she had been beaten and tortured by them.
It wasn’t until after she turned 18 that she was raised to marry Mike, that she was spared the beatings.
Life’s hardships didn’t smooth out her pride but also let her know when to hold back. So she played dumb and sweet to Mike. Living with a mask was a must for her.
Wendy complained to Allen. “Dad, look at her!”
Allen raised his hand and slapped Scarlett.
“What exactly is going on between you and Mike now? Why do our people see that you move to his new home? Aren’t you divorced?”
“I’m cooking for him now.”
“Useless thing! You would rather be a servant than be Mrs. Abraham,” Allen cursed.
Wendy mocked,
“She is just like her mother. Always covet what doesn’t belong to them and play arrogant. She wants to be a wife, but only becomes a servant and finally becomes crazy!”
“You are not allowed to despise my mother!” Scarlett pushed her hard.
Wendy has never seen such a Scarlett, with a bitter killing aura.
She cowered a little and took a step back to hide behind Allen.
“Although the news has been blocked, the Lauren Group is already on the verge of collapse. I order you to think of a way to get Mike to help us overcome this crisis!”
Allen cared nothing about the grudge between them, because he had more important things to do.
“I’m just a servant now. Before we divorced, he had made it clear to ignore the Lauren Group.”
Allen raised his hand to hit her. Scarlett refuted fearlessly.
“You’d better pray that my mother can live a long life. Otherwise, you won’t have the chance to hit me again.”
Today, as well as every humiliating scolding in the past, she remembered deeply.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
She was strong and waited for the right time to revenge on the Lauren family.
Her overly stubborn gaze made frightened Allen.
He was the one who had the advantage, but he was somewhat afraid of the daughter he had given birth to with the servant.
Although Scarlett was weak, she seemed to see through him.
He even had a feeling that even if he had beaten her to death alive, she would not be fearful.
He seemed to have never really understood the halfway recognized daughter.
“I order you to steal the Abraham Group’s recent cell phone development program.” He stated the real purpose.
“What?” She was shocked. Did she hear it right?
