Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart
Chapter 1186 - Chapter 1186 Chapter 1186 Slapped and Then Locked Up

Chapter 1186: Chapter 1186: Slapped and Then Locked Up Chapter 1186: Chapter 1186: Slapped and Then Locked Up Scarlett was questioned relentlessly, her heart pounding with guilt, but she did not back down. Her almond-shaped eyes were the picture of innocence as she feigned ignorance: “What news?”

Willie’s gaze suddenly darkened, and the anger on his face intensified.

“You don’t know about the news between you and Baron Lawrence?”

“What news about me and Brother Baron? I really have no idea.” Scarlett widened her eyes, a surprised and innocent expression on her face, “Daddy, what are you talking about?”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Willie raised his hand and–

“Slap!” The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the villa.

Scarlett was stunned by the hit; even Wilow Kirk was taken aback, frowning. Yet she did not step in to intervene, knowing full well her stepdaughter’s prejudice against her. She had no interest in changing her husband’s daughter’s opinion of her, nor did she wish to wade into their father-daughter communication. If she interfered at this moment, she feared her stepdaughter would not only be ungrateful but also think she was fanning the flames.

Scarlett, clutching half her face, tearfully couldn’t believe it, “Daddy, did you hit me?”

This was the first time she had been struck, and it had to happen in front of this woman.

No matter how good she was at pretending, her emotions were surging, and she couldn’t keep her composure.

Willie’s demeanor didn’t soften at the sight of her tearful eyes. He looked at her firmly and said directly, “Yes, I did hit you! All these years I’ve taught you how to be a proper princess, how to be a good person, and this is what you give me–a liar? After all this time I’ve been educating you, have you learned nothing at all, only picking up all your mother’s tricks!”

Outraged, Willie no longer cared about her feelings and bluntly stated, “Don’t tell me you’re unaware, you don’t know! I know perfectly well what you did. It was you who had the paparazzi take those pictures, wasn’t it?”

Scarlett was originally angry, but now found herself speechless under the interrogation, “I…”

“Don’t think that just because you got someone to help you through the Female Officer, I can’t trace it back to you! You tried to use underhanded techniques, attempting to mimic others, thinking you are one of the stars in the entertainment industry? You are the fourth in line to the throne of Country W, you are a princess. It’s disgraceful you would stoop to learn the ways of the riffraff, deeply disappointing!”

Whatever he could investigate, the Old Master of the Lawrence Family could as well.

They gave the old queen face, which is why they didn’t directly expose the matter to the media. Instead, they reached out to him and asked that he bring her back.

However, from their conversations, he had already sensed the Old Master of the Lawrence Family’s discontent with Scarlett’s actions.

After all, who could possibly like someone who schemes against their grandson right at their doorstep!

And to think, his daughter still believed she had acted flawlessly, self-satisfied in her deception.

“You will stay at home for a while and reflect on yourself! And, forget about whatever you’re thinking with Baron Lawrence!”

He had already swallowed his pride and tactfully inquired about the Lawrence Family’s stance. They had deftly changed the subject, which indicated their lack of interest.

It was all his daughter’s wishful thinking.

As a member of the royal family, he had already lowered himself to ask on her behalf. If they showed no interest, there was no way they would shamelessly pursue it.

Scarlett was listening until she suddenly leaped up, “I won’t accept that!”

Prince Willie didn’t waste words with her and directly instructed the servant, “Take the Princess back to her room, let her rest properly!”
