Chapter 16
Scarlett drove straight to her bakery while passing so many red lights but fortunately none of the road safety stopper her.
She parked her car in front of her bakery. Starlight’s Bakery is located at the middle of the city, although new, but it has a reputation for having big and expensive customers coming to have their services.
“Ma’am you are here” Grace hurried over to her.
“What’s going on? Did something happen?” Scarlett walked in with Grace.
“No! A woman came and has been making trouble…” She paused and didn’t continue.
“And what? Is she a customer that is not satisfied?” Scarlett looked at her in doubts.
“Nope! She is over there” Grace pointed at the person that kept shouting.
“Where is that gold digger and Husband snatcher?! I will teach her a lesson not to mess with my family!” Scarlett and grace stood at a distance and listened to the shouts.
“Who is she referring to? Did someone take her husband away from her?” Scarlett frowned slightly.
“I think she is talking about you” Grace finally spoke after hesitating for a few times.
“You mean me?” She pointed at herself as Grace nodded.
“But I don’t even know her!”
“You should go over first” Grace suggested as Scarlett nodded and walked over to the commotion area.
“Ma’am, it rude for you to come here and disrupt my business ” Scarlett stood aside and Reminded the Elderly woman.
“Who do you think you are… Is you! That gold digger!” Mrs. Gunner’s eyes changed from fire to volcano.
“I don’t know what you mean, You must have recognized the wrong Person ” Scarlett still had a calm smile on her face and respect for the elderly in her heart.
“Is you! Do you think that Marrying into the Malcolm’s family will be any good to you! That position belongs to my daughter not you!” She pointed at Scarlett who took a step back avoiding her fingers.
“Malcolm? You mean Damien Malcolm?” She asked when she realized where the trouble is coming from.
Several people already came up to watch the show and see what is happening.
“Yes, Can you deny it?” Mrs. Gunner glared at her
“Mrs! This is the last time I’m going to tell you this. Leave my Bakery!” Scarlett raised her voice coldly not bothering to say any more things to her.
“Heh! Do you think that you can escape from this. Everyone is here to see the kind of person that you are! A third party that destroys people’s marriage!” Mrs. Gunner continued as she didn’t plan to stop at all.
There were murmurs everywhere.
Several people already started pointing at Scarlett.
“Would you leave or should I expose everything” Scarlett couldn’t take it anymore and threatened, “Who knows the police might end up getting involved” She crossed her arms around her chest and smiled.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Taking my daughter’s husband is not enough, you still want to run your way out of it” Mrs. Gunner at this time wasn’t able to hear the threat in the voice of Scarlett and continued with her yells.
“Good! Your daughter eloped with her lover and to save the day I was abducted. Why are you so angry?” Scarlett smiled at her in ridicule, ” Didn’t you daughter miss her chance of getting married into a wealthy family just because of the mistake she made?” Scarlett fired back at her.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Mrs. Gunner yelled.
“You too don’t talk nonsense. After she eloped did she expect everything including my Castle Cake to go to waste. Of course not, I had to save the day and eat my cake by myself”
“You!”
“I still have to thank her. If not because of her stupidity I wouldn’t have gotten such an opportunity to marry into such a rich family” Scarlett raised her chin and looked at her.
“You prostitute! Do you think the Damien Family will accept an unclean woman that already had two bastards as her child” Just when the sentence left her lips, a huge force her her face.
Scarlett’s eyes turned cold and she looked like she was going to commit murder the next second.
“You dare to hit me!” Mrs. Gunner touched her cheeks that were swollen.
“Look here old lady_”
“When did Mrs. Gunner start getting concerned of what is happening in my household?” A cold hoarse and Magnetic voice sounded causing everyone to turn to the direction of the voice.
With the voice, Scarlett already knew who it is.
She sighed deeply, feeling bad on how unlucky this week started out.
“That_” Mrs Gunner stammered, ” I didn’t mean it” She felt deflated even her pride disappeared.
“You didn’t mean what? You are such a shameless old Lady” Scarlett blocked her words not planning to let her off easily.
“The next time you open that mouth of your and call my babies again, I bet you! It won’t end with just a slap” Scarlett threatened her coldly.
“Throw her out!” Damien Malcolm who stood by her side ordered.
When the people around saw that there was no more drama, they all dispersed.
“Boss are you ok?” Grace walked up to her and asked worried
“I’m fine. Bring over the orders we took for Today to my office” She sighed and said in a low mood.
“Yes Ma’am.” Grace answered but soon she stopped and went back to Scarlett.
“Was it really you wearing the wedding gown yesterday?” She asked to confirm her guess, but the moment Damien glanced at her lightly with his cold eyes, she shivered and immediately left.
The place was left with Scarlett Blaze and Damien Malcolm standing opposite each other
“Have you seen the trouble you caused me, Mr. Damien” She glared at him as she felt everything about this man displeases her.
“Let’s talk in your office” Damien said lightly as if he didn’t notice her anger towards him.
“Let’s go!” She glared at him for the last time and turned to the direction of the office
Although she is very angry but not to the extent but discussing sensitive topic outside.
She unlocked her office door and stood aside allowing him to go in first and he indeed did that.
He walked in and sat directly on Scarlett’s Chair without any pressure.
“That’s where I’m supposed to sit, Mr. Damien” She reminded him with the look of ‘Can you please stand up’
“Sit somewhere else” Damien crossed his legs naturally,.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
The role between the two sudden reversed.
Damien Malcolm seemed like the owner of the office while she looked like a visitor.
Taking a deep breath, Scarlett controlled her urge to hit someone.
“Mr. Damien, please what are you doing here?” She asked him plainly.
“You are my wife” Damien stated the fact.
“I never acknowledged that”
“But you go married to me!” He reminded.
“Hey! That was obviously because your secretary abducted me” She glared at him furiously, ” And we didn’t get any certificate, so you can’t say that we are married” She said again.
“You mean this?” He placed a red card in front of her.
Scarlett glanced at him slightly and took a close look.
She saw clearly that it is a marriage certificate and her name was written boldly on it.
“Why did you do this?! That wedding was supposed to be one day thing, What is the meaning of this?!” She felt that the whole situation was ridiculous and annoying.
“Unfortunately, We are married by law. So you are my Wife” Damien replied calmly.
“Are you kidding me?!” She squeezed her palm into a fist while gritting her teeth.
But then her phone suddenly rang.
Glaring at him one last time, She picked up her phone and connected the call.
“Hello, This is Scarlett Blaze”
“Hello dear Parents, We are calling from the Prestigious Nursery academy” The person from the other side spoke.
“Yes, Did something happen to my babies?” She moved her eyes away from Mr. Damien and asked with a smile.
“No. But your son fought at school. Please, we would like you to come over.”
