Chapter 2 - Divorce?

After roaring, Scarlett finally felt satisfied after enduring Mike for a long time.

She walked out of his magnificent house and was as happy as a little bird, which finally was freed from its cage. She even wanted to sing a song to express her joy.

She had enough of acting as an obedient wife to please the man.

But this satisfaction and determination to break away from marriage only lasted for a morning.

When she returned, there was a red palm print on her face. His father slapped her.

"If you dare to divorce Mike, I will not pay for your mother's medical expenses anymore, and will never see her again!"

"Scarlett, I beg you. I want him to come and see me. Just once. I will kneel for you!"

The faces of her father and mother appeared in Scarlett's mind at the same time. She bit her lips tightly and there was no expression on her face at all.

She was not afraid of her father at all, but she had to compromise for her mother.

She stopped and looked at the magnificent and luxurious house under the sun. She took a deep breath. How could she get rid of this heavy cage?

The lawyer sent by Mike was sitting on the sofa. It seemed that he had been waiting for her for a long time.

Seeing Scarlett come back, he immediately handed over the divorce agreement that Mike had signed.

"Both of the sides agreed on the written agreement of ending the marriage. Mr. Abraham will pay you 5,000,000 for compensation. The Golden Pavilion will be under your name."

The lawyer continued to state,

"According to your pre-marriage agreement, Mr. Abraham will no longer have anything to do with you after giving you the real estate and cash check. All your future financial disputes have nothing to do with Mr. Abraham. In addition, Mr. Abraham does not want you to disturb his life..."

The lawyer looked at Scarlett sympathetically. This was what Mike said.

"Please pack your things and leave the house immediately. Mr. Abraham also said..." The lawyer originally did not want to be so cold to a woman, but his employer was powerful and ordered him to deliver the words. "Since you chose your family, you should accept your own choice whatever the consequence is and sign this divorce agreement."

Scarlett didn't listen to what the lawyer said.

She was the one who suggested the divorce, and the reaction of Mike also showed how wise her decision was.

She really wanted to sign it right away. She would rather spend the rest of her life alone than spend the rest of her life with this man.

But...

Thinking about her mother, Scarlett gritted her teeth and dialed Mike's private phone.

The phone rang for a long time, and when she was about to hang up, his indifferent voice sounded.

"I'm very busy. Get to the point."

'Fuck, why are you so cocky?' Scarlett thought. She flipped him off in mind, suppressing the urge to scold him and sign the papers. She tried to sound pitiful.

"Mike, are you really going to divorce me?"

Scarlett's charm resided in her gentle temperament and attractive features. She tried to be sentimental, and her slightly trembling voice could easily arouse the desire of a man to protect her. Even the lawyer who was listening on the side felt sad. If he was Mike, he would definitely be soft-hearted when facing such a delicate woman.

However, Mike was always aloof and unapproachable. Or else, he would be taken down by other women already. Scarlett was still too naive.

"You were the one who suggested the divorce." The man's voice was cold and clear, calm as if he was stating an ordinary matter.

"I..." Scarlett choked.

Hearing his indifferent tone, she found it hard to say her prepared words. Mike always had the ability to render her speechless.

"You what? What's wrong? Didn't you be very determined in the morning?" he said calmly, playing with an exquisite little box.

"Mike, I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" She had to hold her anger.

"No, you have to pay for your words." His tone was cold.

'Do you really think I care about you? You are such an indifferent man!' Scarlett wondered. She tried not to feel sick. Thinking of her mother, she forced herself to plead.

"I will work hard to serve you. Can you give me another chance?"

"If I want to find someone to serve me, I can just find a servant. Why should I need a wife?"

The sharp sarcasm in his tone used up her last bit of patience. She became harsher.

"In fact, you wanted to get rid of me a long time ago, right? We only got together because of the settled marriage. Now the Lauren family is in trouble, and you can't wait to get rid of me! You even blame me. You are really a scum!"

He paused and twitched his lips.

"Finally you show your true colors."

"Mike, don't go too far!" Scarlett was anxious and angry. She was meek and apologized first, but he didn't give her any chance to regret it.

Scarlett was different from her usual self, but Mike didn't get angry. He even smiled because of her flaring up. His movements were gentler when he played with the box.

However, his face turned cold again when he heard her words.

"I beg you, don't divorce. No, it's fine even if you insist on divorcing. I'll sign the agreement. But can you explain to my family? You won't lose anything!"

"No way!" He threw down the box, with a wave of biting cold anger. His voice was like a cold winter. "Sign it and take 5 million. Or just get out of the house with nothing!"

Scarlett was not a good-tempered person. When she said this, she stopped begging him and shouted, "Fine! Do you think I care so much about you? A cold-blooded scum like you deserves to be lonely for life. I don't want to see you again!"

Scarlett hung up the phone, picked up the pen, and quickly signed under the lawyer's surprised expression.

Was she an actor? Just now, she was so weak and delicate, like a little white flower in the wind. Even the lawyer felt pity for her. In the next moment, she turned into a female warrior. Was the person she shouted at just now the rumored cold-blooded Mr. Abraham?

The lawyer couldn't help but think what happened to the last person who dared to speak to Mr. Abraham like this? Was he dead or not...

"Here! Give it to that scum and tell him that I don't want to see him in my life again!"

Scarlett threw the divorce agreement to the lawyer!

She didn't believe she would be driven desperate without the help of that man!

Mike smashed the phone against the wall.

Lily Abby knocked on the door and entered. She was immediately frightened by his livid expression. She bravely handed over the box, saying, "Mr. Abraham, this is the imperial jade that you ordered from Sotheby."

The jade was exquisitely carved, and its color and luster were excellent. It was in the shape of an orchid, swaying in the wind with its head holding high, just like the woman who made him angry.

Mike's expression became even sullener and he casually threw the jewelry box into the trash.

Lily was frightened by what he did. It cost millions. Mike just threw it away.. Lily couldn't quite understand.
