Chapter 173 Bringing It on Oneself
Scarlett looked at the photo for a while, then raised the camera and pointed it at Mike.
Hanging up the phone, Mike heard the sound of the shutter.
“What are you filming this time?”
“I thought that your expression was very meaningful.”
Scarlett pressed the replay button, and the picture showed that Mike’s eyes were inscrutable. His lips were curled but not into a smile.
“Every time you put on this expression, you are contemplating some dirty trick on others.”
Scarlett got the hang of reading Mike’s microexpression after these days.
Mike wore a poker face most of the time.
However, his eyes were utterly expressive and Scarlett still tried to figure it out.
Scarlett guessed right this time, but Mike didn’t agree that it was a dirty trick.
“What did you do to Anna and the others?” Scarlett asked curiously.
“Nothing.”
They brought this upon themselves, and Mike just expedited the process.
“I don’t believe it. Surely you are planning on a big move.”
Before Scarlett could finish her sentence, she was pushed down by Mike.
“What are you doing? It’s still too early for what’s on your mind.”
Despite her protest, Scarlett found her blouse was gone.
“I’m just helping you out.”
For a man who was going to inherit the title soon, Mike must be efficient in everything, including undressing a woman.
As a result, Scarlett’s pants were soon taken off as well.
“Help me out. What did I say?” Scarlett was on the verge of losing her temper.
“You say that I’m planning on a big move.”
Mike began to take off his clothes. Scarlett crawled off the bed on her hands and knees but was quickly caught.
“Stop now! Didn’t you promise to take me to see the night view of Hyde Park on the last night?”
“So you have to hurry up and behave yourself. The night is long, and there will always be a chance for you to see the night view after my big move is done.”
“Go to hell!”
Scarlett wouldn’t believe a word of Mike.
A long time later, Mike, who had been satisfied finally, patted the drowsy Scarlett.
“Get up and let’s see the night of Hyde Park.”
“No.” Scarlett was so sleepy that she couldn’t open her eyes.
It was unwise to challenge Mike’s energy.
They would return home tomorrow and Scarlett would surely make a scene if she hadn’t viewed Hyde Park at night.
Mike took out his phone and filmed a video on Scarlett.
“Are you sure you don’t want to see the night view of Hyde Park?”
“No…” Scarlett almost drifted into sleep and answered intuitively.
She just wanted to get rid of the buzzing noise and gave any answer Mike asked of her.
“What if you regret and mess with me when you wake up tomorrow?”
“What?” Scarlett was sleepier than ever.
“Do you agree not to mess with me?”
“Yes.”
“Do you love Mike Abraham?”
“Yes.”
Mike stopped filming and replayed the video. He had watched the less-than-one-minute video more than 20 times.
Mike didn’t realize that it was outrageously shameless to take advantage of Scarlett who lost her mind in a sleep state.
At this moment, Scarlett seemed most appealing to him.
Her shoulder was partly revealed and the hickeys given by him were obvious on her fair skin, just like blossoming flowers.
The flowers blossomed for him only.
Mike raised his phone again and took a few pictures of Scarlett.
Although she was properly covered by the sheet, everyone could find out that she had just got laid by a man.
A sense of satisfaction rose in Mike’s heart as he was that man.
He created a folder to contain the photos.
After setting up a password to ensure that no one else could have access to these photos, Mike hugged Scarlett with satisfaction and fell asleep.
To dispose of a few scums who intended to scheme against him was only a minor purpose of Mike’s trip to Country E.
Her breath lingered on Mike as Scarlett snuggled up to him in her sleep, which cured insomnia that had plagued Mike since his divorce.
Besides, Mike was happy that he had the leverage to deal with Scarlett.
While Mike was having a good night of sleep, the marquise was also satisfied in another house.
It was already deep into the night, but the marquise was so excited that she couldn’t fall asleep as the net would be drawn in tomorrow. Standing next to her was Anna’s mother.
“Will Mike marry Anna?”
“Of course, the scandal will be published on all mediums tomorrow. It is a pity for this to happen to an unmarried lady.”
The marquises said pretentiously.
“If Mike refuses to take responsibility, I’ll request the imperial court to disinherit him of the title.”
The marquises believed that all men knew what choice to make. After all, it was unimaginable to give up the title over a girl of humble origin.
If Mike was wise enough, he would surely divorce that ignoble woman and marry Anna to inherit the title.
“I have a feeling that Mike isn’t the kind of man we can manipulate.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Anna’s mother was still in the aftershock caused by Mike in the banquet.
“The marquis is now living on nutritional injections and can’t make it to the next year according to the doctor. We must let Mike marry Anna before he inherits the title.”
Only in this way could the marquises and her family continue to lead a decent life.
It wasn’t difficult to imagine what Mike would do to the marquises and her folks if he came into power. Unless Mike could be restrained by the marriage to Anna.
“Hope everything could go well.” Anna’s mother muttered to herself.
The marquises gave her a determined look.
The next day, Anna’s mother led a group of pressmen to the hotel and tried to bust the couple in bed.
But they only saw Hans, who was naked and sleeping soundly.
Anna’s mother was shocked. Where was Mike?
Something even worse happened.
Anna came out of the adjoining room and was followed by Clayton. All the pressmen, as well as Anna’s mother, saw what was inside the room when the door was opened.
There was another woman wrapped in a towel.
The pressmen immediately swarmed over, shooting non-stop at Anna and Clayton.
Anna’s mother was petrified.
Who could tell her what had happened?
Where on earth was Mike? Why would her daughter be associated with Clayton, the notorious playboy? The worst part was that Anna’s mother had summoned all the well-known presses of Country E here to spread the scandal.
In other words, she had exposed her daughter’s promiscuous private life to the public herself.
Anna’s mother wished that she were dead at this moment.
Mike and Scarlett were already on the plane back to China right now.
