The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Lauren looked questioningly at Scarlett. She still couldn't understand how this girl could escape after she drank the drug; She shouldn't be able to move and could only vent her heat on Mr. Frans or some random guy to stop the drug's effect.

'Did this girl move into another room and do nasty things with someone else!?' Suddenly this thought came to Lauren's mind. She felt her whole body shiver thinking about that possibility. Her eyes carefully scanned Scarlett's body for any traces of clues she could use to punish her. But she found nothing.

That possibility seems unlikely. Just as Lauren thought her guess was wrong, her eyes fell on the man in the black suit behind, 'Is the man she slept with?'

Just before Lauren wanted to ask Scarlett about the man in the black suit, she heard her say,

"Tsk.. tsk... Mother…? Technically, you are not my mother, but my father's mistress…." Scarlett paused. The corners of her lips lifted slightly, then formed a mischievous smile — she wanted to make this damn woman lose her temper. After seeing Lauren frown, she continued, "So, from now on, I will call you aunty."

"HOW DARE YOU!!" Lauren almost explodes.

"A-Auntie, don't get angry easily. You'll get more wrinkles under your eyes. No matter how expensive the skincare you use, it won't eliminate the wrinkles on your face..." Scarlett laughs when her abusive words succeed in making that damn woman furious.

Lauren's face turned green, but her lips were tightly closed. She held back her anger, afraid that this girl would verbally attack her again. This girl's vicious tongue was getting sharper — she must not be provoked. Not now.

She stared at Scarlett with teary eyes. "My dearest daughter Scarlett… I've been your mother for over a decade. How can you say something like that? Now you won't even call me mother!? Scarlett, my dear, I really care about you. That's why I'm looking for the best husband for you. Please, don't say things like that again, huh!?" Lauren's voice trembled as tears started to roll down her cheeks.

Scarlett was out of words.

'This damn woman, not only is she talented as a screenwriter, but she is also talented as an artist. Gosh!!'

"Jonathan, my husband… you know how much your daughter hates me, right!? All this time, I can be patient, but my heart hurts to hear how she called me…." Lauren looked at Jonathan.

"Scarlett, apologize to your mother!!" Jonathan's eyes glared at his daughter.

"Jonathan, there's no need to scold her. It's okay if your little daughter no longer sees me as her mother. I know I'm only a stepmother in her eyes, even though I've tried to be a good mother for all these years. I will try to accept it sincerely…." She then buried her head in Jonathan's arms as her sobs grew louder, making Scarlett want to laugh.

'This damn woman is a shameless clown.' Scarlett tries not to sink into Lauren's acting as she stares at her father, who now embraces that damn woman.

Scarlett could see her father's angry eyes staring at her. She didn't avoid his angry gaze. Instead, she looked back, and with her calmness, she said,

"Father, about last night. I had to run away after your beloved woman drugged me, ah… I guess you're the mastermind, right!?" She chuckled before continuing, "So don't blame me, father. I just wanted to avoid the disaster you guys created for me. You and this woman are my parents, but I never imagined you two would do the cruelest thing I've ever encountered in my entire life..." Scarlett paused. She needed air to fill her lungs.

She felt angry and wanted to cry because this was too much for her, but she held it. She didn't want to cry in front of them. She would not entertain them with her sobbing show. Never!

"You not only drugged me, but you also sold me to a widower with five children. Have you lost your morals doing this kind of vile lustful thing? Am I not human to you? You decided my future without discussing it with me?" Scarlett was crying internally, but she was smiling like a flower on the surface.

"Scarlett, Mr. Frans is the best choice for you…." Lauren's words suddenly made Scarlett even angrier. She felt like gagging this woman's mouth with her shoes.

"What!!? Scarlett, you said… your mother drugged you!?" Jonathan frowned at Scarlett.

He never knew about drugging her. He didn't want to marry off his daughter right away, either. He just wanted to set Scarlett up with Mr. Frans. If they had already met and knew about the arrangement, he would beg his daughter to help the company by marrying that old man.

Jonathan knows her daughter will do anything to help her birth mother's family company. Her daughter is so kind and loves her birth mother so much that she will not let her family company go bankrupt. Jonathan was sure of it.

Scarlett was taken aback. So this damn woman is lying!? Gosh!

"What's the matter, dad!? You don't know about the drug? This wasn't your idea?"

"Not!" Jonathan let go of his hug and looked Lauren straight in the eyes. "Is what Scarlett said true? Did you try to drug her?"

Scarlett laughed as she turned her gaze toward Lauren. "Wow! You are a really brave auntie…."

Lauren's face was deathly pale.

"No, no… I didn't do that. This girl ran away as soon as she found out we were going to marry her to Mr. Frans. How can I drug her? Don't listen to her nonsense." Lauren's tears started again, trying to distract Jonathan.

Scarlett was in no rush to say anything. She only cursed this scheming woman in her heart.

It wasn't just Scarlett who cursed Lauren, but Logan Lee, who had witnessed what happened in Piers' living room, couldn't help but curse that evil woman too.

Once again, he checked the camera pin on his suit to ensure the live streaming worked adequately. He wanted his master to watch what happened in this place smoothly.
