Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258: Still Can’t Get Through to Baron Lawrence’s Phone Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258: Still Can’t Get Through to Baron Lawrence’s Phone “Watch your conduct!” Prince Willie frowned.

Scarlett had not noticed someone following him and frantically questioned him, “That woman lied to me, right? I didn’t kidnap Enna Clark; she framed me! It was the illegitimate daughter who framed me! Daddy, you believe me!”

Prince Willie felt the surprised gaze of the person behind him, took a deep breath, and a slap landed across the face of the panic-stricken girl, who was speaking without any filter.

“Smack!” A harsh sound.

Scarlett’s whole body shifted to the right from the impact, her eyes brimming with tears as she turned her head and looked at Prince Willie.

Prince Willie’s face was ashen, his sharp eyes filled with authority as he stared into her eyes and said, deliberately, “Have you calmed down now?”

She was of the royal family, and no matter what happened, she remained a member of the royal family. As someone of the royal family, enjoying the honor and wealth it brought, she had the obligation to preserve its dignity.

In front of outsiders, she behaved without restraint, speaking recklessly. How could that befit someone from the royal family?

She wasn’t just embarrassing herself or him; she was shaming the entire family! That was why Prince Willie, unable to tolerate it any longer, had slapped her, to interrupt and calm her down.

After receiving a slap, Scarlett heard Prince Willie ask her sternly, her ears buzzing nonstop, tears streaming down her face, as she opened her mouth, “Daddy…”

She was his own flesh and blood, his only child, and even if not born from the woman he loved, the sight of her like this was still bound to pain Prince Willie. However, what Scarlett had done was too much this time, crossing not only his line but others’ too, and with the other party taking a hard stance, he couldn’t protect her, “If you’ve calmed down, follow me inside!”

Having been slapped, Scarlett’s heated mind cooled down slightly. Upon realizing that there were strangers behind him, as reluctant as she was, she followed him inside.

Not long after, Scarlett, with a dejected look and swollen red eyes, followed three men in suits and sunglasses into the Land Rover.

The vehicle sped along the road, heading towards the women’s prison on the outskirts of the city…

…

Due to her identity exposure, Enna Clark had not dared to leave her home these past few days.

There were too many paparazzi and reporters outside, all wanting to capitalize on the news’ popularity and stir it up again.

Enna Clark had no desire for fame, but by the time she found out, Edward Jackson had already made her identity public, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Over the past few days, since she couldn’t go out anyway, she had simply stayed in the study, reviewing contracts piled up by Rhine that needed her signature, and the rest of her time was spent tending to her leg injury and making video calls to Bobby.

Bobby would call her for more than two hours every day on video, and even if they ran out of topics towards the end, he would keep watching cartoons and not let her hang up.

Otherwise, Gigi would hold the phone and babble inane chatter to her.

These days, Enna Clark had been trying to contact Baron Lawrence non-stop, but it was always the same—she couldn’t get through to his phone!

The phone was never in service, and later it simply became switched off.

She couldn’t fathom how angry he must have been, or if he was just too busy. When she tried to ask Scott Harris, she found out he wasn’t in Country W anymore, having gone who knows where, and just like Baron Lawrence, she couldn’t get through to his phone.
