Mike was carrying a book called "My Cat Master and I" to study Scarlett's personality in an all-around way and repair the relationship with her. At the same time, Scarlett was also watching a soap opera with Tilda.
The two of them had a lot in common when it came to soap operas.
The soap opera was about a young master from a wealthy family. He tried his best not to take medicine and was naughty.
Scarlett suddenly thought of Mike. He didn't take medicine like the man in the soap opera.
"Speaking of taking medicine, Mr. Abraham doesn't like it the most."
When Tilda saw this, she also thought of Mike. Scarlett immediately nodded her head in sympathy.
Mike thought of medicine as his enemy!
"There is a reason why Mr. Abraham doesn't like to take medicine. When he was young, he often got sick and took too many bitter medicines. When he grew up, he would reject them."
Scarlett remembered what Tilda said.
She remembered that night when she saw the meteor, Mike had told her.
When he was young, he almost died and was sent to the countryside to recuperate before he came back.
She remembered clearly that his first love was a girl in the countryside.
"When Mike was young, did he look arrogant?"
She was very curious about how Mike looked when he was young. He might be arrogant as he was now.
Tilda shook her head. "Mr. Abraham was quite introverted when he was young, and he was often bullied by other children of the family."
"Him? Being bullied?! Introverted? Are you kidding me?"
Scarlett felt that it was unbelievable.
Mike had always been the one who bullied others, and numerous people were tormented by him.
How could he be bullied by others?
"Mr. Abraham has been very smart since he was young. He is his grandpa's favorite grandson. The other children of the family are jealous of him. They exclude him and try their best to bully him. It was a tough time for him."
Tilda was furious when she thought of what those children had done. High-class children matured earlier than children from ordinary families.
They intervened prematurely in the power struggle, backed by adults.
They began to fight for power at a very young age. Mike had become the target of their attacks because he was too outstanding.
What Tilda said was absolutely a secret of a wealthy family.
Even "Things About Mike Abraham" didn't mention it. Scarlett thought that Mike was born to be an arrogant and tyrannical president, but she didn't expect that he had a miserable life before.
"They often bullied Mr. Abraham and almost drowned him in the pool. This situation did not change until he returned from the countryside to recuperate."
When he went back from the countryside, he changed a lot in personality. That year was a turning point.
The secret of his upbringing was much more attractive than the soap opera. Scarlett ignored the TV and listened attentively.
"The night Mr. Abraham returned, the other children of the family took Mr. Abraham's belongings and threw them into the pond of Abraham's mansion."
"Holy shit! It's outrageous!" Scarlett was angry.
Tilda immediately nodded. She was also very angry when she recalled it.
"It was already late autumn. Mr. Abraham jumped in desperately and pulled the thing out of the water. Then, he had a severe fever. When he recovered from his illness, he retaliated."
Mike's personality had completely changed since then.
Until now, Tilda still didn't like those people who bullied Mike. They didn't worth her respect.
Scarlett could feel from Tilda's words that she cared about Mike.
No wonder when Mike came to power, the first thing he did was to promote Tilda to the butler who held great power. Although she was not talented and she liked to watch soap operas, she was the person who cared about him.
He always respected Tilda.
This time, when Scarlett was sick, Mike was worried and asked Tilda to take care of her.
"What happened to those bullshits who bullied Mike?"
Scarlett's words made Tilda nod in satisfaction. She thought that Scarlett was very justice.
"The bullshit who took the lead in bullying Mr. Abraham was hanging upside down on a tree only half a meter away from the lake... Mr. Abraham even told him that there were crocodiles in the lake. That child was almost scared mad."
"They deserved it! When they bullied Mike, why didn't they think that he was still a child!" Scarlett did not feel that Mike had gone too far.
Tilda was satisfied that Scarlett didn't sympathize with the bad people.
"The child was crying and howling. He kept begging Mr. Abraham to let him down. Mr. Abraham sneered as he watched from the side. From then on, the child was afraid of Mr. Abraham."
That year, Mike was ten years old.
Scarlett smiled. This was the resourceful and tyrannical president that she was familiar with.
That bitter kid who was bullied wasn't the real him.
"It's not just the bullshit who took the lead. All of the children who participated in throwing Mr. Abraham's things that night were beaten up. The most miserable one cried when he saw Mr. Abraham. It took him half a year to undergo psychological treatment."
The child refused to say what Mike had done to him that had caused him so much pain.
Ever since then, Mike had changed from an introverted youth to a sinister, cold-blooded elite.
"Perhaps Mr. Abraham started to realize that he can get everything he wanted with his resourceful mind. From then on, he destroyed what he disliked. He only cared about the result. Scarlett, don't be afraid of him. If you were afraid of him, no one would be able to get close to him."
Tilda seized every opportunity to convince Scarlett.
"What is it that makes Mike change his character?" Scarlett was very curious.
Tilda shook her head.
"It looks like a small box. Nobody has seen what is inside. It is said that it is still lying in his coffer and he will occasionally bring it out."
Scarlett was curious. She wanted to see it.
She wanted to know what exactly was in the box that changed him so much.
"Mr. Abraham had a miserable life these years, although sometimes he is arrogant..."
"Sometimes?" Scarlett thought that he was a devil when he burned the clothes and locked her up.
"Well..."
Tilda couldn't tell lies. Sometimes, Mr. Abraham was savage.
"He had to act arrogantly to keep his position and repel his enemies. Please understand him."
Tilda tried her best to say something good about Mike. If Scarlett left Mike, then no one would endure his bad temper in the world.
"Over the years, Mr. Abraham has been so focused on making himself stronger that he didn't know how to express his emotions. However, he is not a vicious person, and Mr. Abraham's mother has also contributed to Mr. Abraham's character. Forget it, forget about her."
"His mother?" Scarlett had heard what Tilda said.
Ever since she got married, she had never seen other relatives of Mike. It seemed that when they got married, only a few of his friends had participated. She hadn't seen his family members.
"That's not an important person. Forget her. In short, Mr. Abraham is not a bad person. You will find that he is quite good after getting along with him for a long time."
Mike held great powers and he could destroy a family as he wanted. It was no wonder that other people would be afraid of him.
But Tilda tried her best to say something good about Mike.
Scarlett remained calm, but she felt complicated in her heart.
It turned out that he was not born with such an extreme personality.
He had a warm childhood and was once a cute little boy. However, there were too many perverts around him, and Mike turned ferocious to protect himself.
Just as she was thinking, the door suddenly opened and Mike walked in with a bag.
Scarlett was about to complain about his behavior of copying the key without her consent, but she was suddenly attracted by a familiar smell.
She smelled the fragrance of meat buns.
When Mike saw her curious look, he felt proud in his heart.
It seemed that the book was correct. There are no cats that didn't like to eat.
He wore a suit and waited in line like a fool. After being watched by everyone for half an hour, he finally got the meat bun.
Seeing that Mike had returned, Tilda immediately stood up.
"Mr. Abraham, I don't feel well today. I have high blood pressure and I feel dizzy. I can't take care of Scarlett tonight."
Scarlett knew that Tilda was lying because Tilda was talking with her about Mike's upbringing just now.
"Okay, I'll have the driver drive you back." Mike was satisfied with the result.
Tilda winked at Scarlett and then left tactfully. She was telling Scarlett to seize the opportunity.
Tilda could finally return to Abraham's mansion. She hoped that Scarlett would listen to her advice and stop being angry with Mr. Abraham.
Only Scarlett and Mike were left in the room.
When Scarlett had just finished listening to Mike's childhood sufferings, she saw Mike with mixed feelings.
It was very difficult to associate the powerful president with the little boy that Tilda was talking about.
It turned out that his ferocious personality was reasonable.
"Do you want to eat this?"
Mike saw her staring at him and thought that she was afraid of him, so he raised the bag in his hand.
The book said that the first trick to fix a relationship was the food temptation.
