Pampered by the Demon

Mike was so cunning that he would seize all possible chances in his interests.

Scarlett had been tricked by Mike many times. So she got used to the crafty Mike and wasn’t irritated.

If Scarlett took Mike’s tricks seriously, she would be so angry that she would lose control.

“I’ll make some snacks that you like tonight?” Scarlett tried to negotiate with Mike.

“I want Tiramisu, Italian handmade ice cream, strawberry daifuku, and milk custard,” Mike said unhurriedly.

Scarlett complained inwardly, ‘How dare you ask for so many desserts?’

It was unbelievable that Mike likes to eat desserts! He even liked milk custard…

Scarlett imagined that Mike ate milk custard naturally with one hand while tapping the code with another hand expressionlessly. Scarlett wanted to take a photo of Mike.

Scarlett thought Mike’s photos could be sold at a high price if she posted them online!

“Did others know that you love desserts so much?” Scarlett thought for a moment and asked.

Scarlett answered the question herself, “Of course, they don’t know. If they knew, the book, Things about Mike Abraham, would have different content.”

“It’s best to tear up the book. It’s meaningless.” Mike snorted.

“The Lauren family has spent many years collecting and sorting out your information. It is said that they have investigated the people around you and summarized what you said in the interview with various magazines and media. They have also invited psychological experts to analyze your personality.”

“Daniel.”

“What?”

“Daniel participated in all the interviews for me. He was the one who organized all the information in written interviews.”

Scarlett was surprised that Mike told her the truth.

“So, the one who likes meek women and the color white is also Daniel?”

The first few months after Scarlett married Mike, she painstakingly covered up her real personality and wore clothes that she did not like. But she pleased Mike in the wrong way.

“The information gathered by the Lauren family is not reliable. No wonder that it went bankrupt.”

Mike commented objectively and then added.

“I’ve decided to send Daniel to South Africa for business for half a year.”

Mike was displeased when thinking about how Scarlett had followed the style that Daniel liked for two months. Mike was still angry even if he sent Daniel to the North Pole.

Daniel was innocently implicated and might feel speechless.

A jealous man was always unreasonable.

Mike parked the car outside a church in the suburbs and asked Scarlett to get out of the car.

After Scarlett got out of the car, she felt this church looked familiar.

Scarlett thought this place was similar to…

“Isn’t this church where we got married?”

Back then, she and Mike had first held a grand wedding in a foreign church, because Mike was a dual nationality of Country E and Country M.

After returning to City B, Mike held the wedding ceremony once again in this church to entertain his domestic business partners. Scarlett still remembered the church.

The huge church was empty now.

No one was there and no wedding ceremony was held.

The white door of the church was ajar.

Holding Scarlett’s hands, Mike pushed the door open and led her in.

Scarlett was a little embarrassed.

“Is it okay for us to come in like this?”

The church, which could accommodate hundreds of people, was now empty.

The church echoed and had no priests. The sunlight passed through the window lattice and glinted on the crosses on the wall.

“Won’t we disturb the newlyweds? No one will hold a wedding ceremony at this point, right?”

“There won’t be anyone else. We are the only ones here today.”

Mike led her to the seats in the front row and sat down.

Scarlett recalled the day she got married.

“I still remember how nervous I was at that time. Brides’ fathers will usually lead them to enter the church hand in hand. But I came in myself.”

Until now, Scarlett still thought that Allen was unwilling to hold her hands and hand her over to Mike.

Mike lowered his eyes silently. He would not tell Scarlett that it was he who didn’t allow Allen to hold Scarlett’s hands and lead her into the church.

Mike did not think that Allen was qualified to be Scarlett’s father.

So Allen was disqualified to lead Scarlett to enter the church hand in hand.

“By the way, I still wonder why any of the people from the Lauren family didn’t attend our wedding ceremony?”

“Maybe they hate you.”

Mike was unashamed. He continued to lie to Scarlett and mislead her.

The Lauren Family looked down on Scarlett. But Scarlett married Mike, who was most influential in City B. So they were eager to exploit Scarlett for profit.

Mike didn’t allow the people from the Lauren family to attend the wedding reception.

No matter how Scarlett looked at their wedding reception, Mike was serious.

At the wedding, Mike didn’t allow anyone to show disrespect to Scarlett.

For those who didn’t wish Scarlett and Mike well sincerely, Mike wouldn’t invite them to his wedding.

When the Lauren family was mentioned, Scarlett thought of Wendy, who had a disgusting manner on the streets, and Allen, who was in prison.

Scarlett sighed helplessly.

“Why does Wendy hate me so much? She bullied me since I was a child.”

Scarlett thought she was positive and kind despite the years of oppression and torture.

Wendy had been spoiled by her parents since she was young. If she didn’t seek trouble for herself, she wouldn’t have lived such a miserable life. But she didn’t work hard to improve her life, but only hated the innocent Scarlett.

“Because Wendy was jealous.”

“You mean Wendy is jealous of me?” Scarlett felt Mike’s words were ridiculous.

“How is that possible? Compared to me, she has had almost everything since she was a child. She has parents by her side and doesn’t need to worry about clothes and food. She wasn’t forced to marry because of the lack of money to get her mother into treatment.”

Scarlett corrected herself as soon as she found she had said something unsuitable.

Scarlett added, “I married a man I didn’t like in the beginning, but now I like him very much!”

Mike was pleased by Scarlett’s words but still hit her on the head arrogantly.

“Wendy is too greedy. She thinks she should live a better life than you all the time.”

To make a simile, Wendy was a duck who pretended to be a swan. But her disguise could be stripped away easily.

Scarlett was a nestling who lived among the chickens. But she was still able to become a phoenix and was about to spread her wings and fly.

“I don’t understand Wendy. After encountering setbacks, she should work hard to improve her life instead of scheming against me.”

Scarlett didn’t understand Wendy’s hatred and her many strange actions.

“For example, Lucifer’s wife hit Wendy just now. The first thing she did was not hit Lucifer’s wife, but me. Before that, I planned to plead for Wendy.”

“The difference between the weak and the strong is that the weak only dares to bully kind people. This is because they fear the revenge of those bad guys. But the strong are fearless.”

As long as Scarlett was bullied, Mike would seek revenge for her regardless of others’ identity, fame and wealth.

Mike was the strongest of the strong.

Scarlett felt what Mike said was right and nodded in agreement.

Scarlett asked, “By the way, why did you bring me here?”
