Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: Haven’t Found the Dislikeable Part Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: Haven’t Found the Dislikeable Part Other people instantly turned their gaze toward her.
Her Female Officer and driver were still okay, at most showing a bit of caution.
The Lawrence Family’s servants, on the other hand, were not polite at all, and their looks were sheer mockery.
Scarlett clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deeply into her flesh. It was only through that pain that she could calm herself down and force out a smile that couldn’t be more awkward, “My knee still hurts a little…”
Before she could finish speaking, Baron Lawrence had already impatiently thrown a sentence at her, “If your knee still hurts, then don’t run around!”
Having said that, he bypassed Scarlett, who was blocking his path, striding away with long steps without looking back.
Scarlett watched his retreating figure, her face burning hot, turning various shades of green, black, then red — only stopping short of turning ashen. She clenched her fists tightly, as this was the only way to keep her expression from crumbling!
Her Female Officer cautiously approached her and, bracing herself, said, “Princess, let’s go inside.”
Scarlett, holding back her rage, didn’t make a sound and entered the castle.
When they reached her room and there were no others around, she turned and slapped the Female Officer across the face, “Were you laughing at just now? Who gave you the audacity?”
The Female Officer, caught off-guard by the slap, didn’t care about the pain on her face and quickly tried to defend herself, “I wasn’t, I swear, Princess…”
Scarlett’s beautiful Almond Eyes revealed a viciousness, as proudly and arrogantly as a she-wolf, she lifted her chin and landed another slap, “You weren’t, so you an to say you think I was a joke just now?”
The Female Officer, having been slapped twice, had her left cheek swell up, her eyes brimming with tears, nearly breaking into a cry.
After Scarlett had vented the anger in her heart, she felt much better and, seeing her swollen face and the tears she was desperately holding back, she finally said magnanimously, “Go get so ice to put on your face. How are you going to go out tomorrow looking like this?”
“Yes, Princess,” the Female Officer’s tears fell steadily, but this wasn’t Scarlett’s first day experiencing the Princess’s temper, knowing Scarlett was simply in a bad mood and taking it out on her. Anything she did would be wrong, and instead of that, she might as well bite the bullet.
Scarlett watched her go get ice with tears in her eyes, wrinkled her nose in disgust, and sat down on the sofa. She poured herself a glass of water and after taking a sip, she put the glass down.
This couldn’t go on.
If it continued like this, the woman she had just managed to drive away would soon co back.
She had to secure Brother Baron before that woman returned.
But…
Every ti Scarlett thought of the arrogant man who had rcilessly slapped her face repeatedly, she felt choked up.
She had always lived a life surrounded and pampered by stars since she was little. Growing up, her involvent in the fashion and charity spheres only added to the dia’s adoration, with countless boys chasing after her. She simply hadn’t taken a liking to any of them.
It had taken her a long ti to fancy a man, she took the initiative to show affection, yet was treated this way.
Scarlett really couldn’t understand, she didn’t know what she had done wrong to upset Baron Lawrence, to make him look at her with such distaste.
She racked her brain, recalling every encounter with Baron Lawrence, every word spoken, but she could find no reason for being disliked.
