Chapter 209 Mike Feels A Little Confused
Mike had specifically instructed them not to hurt Scarlett. Therefore, no one dared to touch her, and no one dared to interrogate her. Scarlett was treated well. Although she was closed, it was just to calm her down.
Allen was not as lucky as Scarlett was.
He was being interrogated overnight. Mike instructed the men to do whatever they wanted. Allen had not drunk water for a few hours. His lips had already dried.
What awaited him was terrifying imprisonment.
Scarlett had no appetite, so she sat there in a daze.
Her heart was calm and numb.
Scarlett did not know who she was or what she should do.
All she knew was that Mike did not trust her.
On the other hand, Mike sat in his study. The computer opened. The screen darkened for a long time. The ashtray on his table was already full.
He wanted to lock Scarlett up for a few days, but now, he regretted it. He was worried about her. He wanted to know whether she lived a bad life or not.
Mike thought, ‘In the past few days, Scarlett’s sleep quality had been poor. She has nightmares.
I changed her bed. Could she sleep well? Could she continue to have nightmares?
Damn it! Why am I so worried about her?’
Mike grabbed the computer in annoyance. He wanted to teach her a lesson.
Mike, ‘If she still doesn’t learn well this time, how many losses would she have to suffer in the future?’
The so-called divorce was to tell Mike that she only had him. She could not trust anyone except him.
He could help her sweep away all obstacles.
He could deal with everything for her, including her bad father and her mother, who pretended to be crazy.
But for these people who hurt her, Scarlett repeatedly refused to believe Mike. She provoked Mike’s bottom line.
Mike closed his eyes and forced himself not to be soft-hearted to Scarlett. He thought, ‘This time, I must teach her a lesson!’
Mike opened the software. He wanted to distract himself by making a program.
Scarlett’s computer was here. So he opened the computer, opened the program, and glanced at it casually.
Suddenly, Mike sat up straight. He thought, ‘How could this program be!’
The more he flipped down, the more shocked his heart became.
Mike thought, ‘This is not my program!’
Except for a little bit at the beginning, the later part was changed totally.
Not to mention a high-end phone, even the simplest knockoff machine could not be used.
It was obviously from a novice, no, an amateur!
Scarlett’s face suddenly appeared in Mike’s mind.
“I will never do anything wrong with you!” Scarlett said to Mike in despair.
Richard’s gloating voice echoed in Mike’s mind.
“If you hurt her once, she will feel awkward for a long time!”
Mike felt all the blood in his body was so cold.
The last time, he hurt the little wildcat, he spent a lot of effort coaxing her.
This time, the matter was worse than before. She…This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Not daring to delay anymore, Mike immediately called the police station.
At the same time, Mike grabbed the car keys and rushed over.
Scarlett did not eat anything that day.
As she sat there, someone suddenly opened the door and called her name.
Scarlett continued to remain seated.
Mike stood with the police. Looking at the heartbroken Scarlett, he strode over.
“Scarlett, I’ll take you home.”
Scarlett did not react. Mike repeated it before she came out of her world.
She looked at him with a pair of lifeless eyes.
Only after a long time did her eyes start to focus.
“Come on. Come back with me.” When Mike saw her desolate appearance, his heart ached.
This time it was Mike’s fault. He was too arbitrary. He hurt Scarlett.
The food next to Scarlett was new. Didn’t she eat anything all day?
“Come back? Where is this place?” Scarlett repeated his words dully.
“Go home.” Mike reached out to hold her hand.
Scarlett pushed him away and stubbornly turned away from him.
“I am a thief. You should sue me.”
Scarlett thought, ‘What’s the point of going out? No one believes me.
Well, home? Do I have a home?
Allen is a bad man. My mother was locked up in the sanatorium. Mike never believes me.’
“Now that things are clear, I…”
Mike hesitated for a moment and said his first apology of his life.
“Sorry, I misunderstood you.”
The policeman waiting on the side was shocked.
Mr. Abraham was apologizing to someone.
But what was even more shocking was Scarlett’s reaction.
She picked up the pillow and threw it at him.
“Go away! I don’t need your apology! It’s crocodile tears.”
The policeman thought, ‘There are people who dare to yell at Mr. Abraham!’
“Mr. Abraham, it’s about time. Well…” The policeman was reminded.
Outsiders were not allowed to enter here.
Mike looked at Scarlett, who was still throwing a tantrum, and knew that she would not forgive him easily.
He simply picked her up and walked out under the shocked gaze of the police.
Scarlett was hugged by him like this. The grievances that she had held back for a day surged up. She struggled. She kicked him and scratched him.
There was a kick to Mike’s wound. It was caused by Richard. He groaned in pain but did not let go of her.
After leaving this place, the big gate behind him closed. Scarlett was stuffed into the passenger seat by him.
Scarlett came back from the closed world. The car carried her in the morning. There was the smell of the freshener she had chosen.
However, her mood was different.
At first, Scarlett struggled with all her might. Now, she felt so grieving.
After getting in the car, Mike remained silent. Sensing Scarlett’s frustration, he wanted to apologize to her. However, he did not know how to express it.
Mike could only leave the place that brought Scarlett harm.
Mike wanted to find a chance to talk to her all the way, but Scarlett turned her head and looked out of the window. Her face was reflected in the window. Her lips were tightly pursed.
“Why didn’t you tell me about that program?”
“Do you give me a chance to speak?” Scarlett said in a sarcastic tone.
“Mr. Abraham, you only believe in yourself. You have brought so many people to arrest me. What do you want me to say?”
Mike choked on her words.
He only heard that Scarlett contacted Richard and traded with Allen. He did not expect that she would protect him in the end.
“I will make it up to you.”
“What?” Scarlett sneered, “My heart broke. What are you going to give me?”
“About our agreement, I want to tell you that we didn’t…”
“I don’t want to hear it!” Scarlett covered her ears. She felt very sad about what Mike said.
After all, she had just come out of that kind of place. Mike could understand her.
Mike thought, ‘It seems that now is not the time to explain to her.
In fact, I have not handed in the divorce agreement at all. We are still a couple.
If I tell the truth, she would divorce me in anger.
At that time, it would be difficult to make up for it.’
Mike felt that he was facing a very serious problem.
He thought, ‘What can I do to keep her from getting angry?’
Mike was slightly confused. He seemed to have stirred up trouble.
