Chapter 1983
---- Chapter 1983 Scarlett mumbled, "I'm not sure if | should say this." Maurice snorted. "What's there to hesitate
about? Just spit it out. Scarlett still looked uneasy. "Victoria said that before Mia married into the Driscoll family,
she was actually Franklin's junior. Maurice nodded matter-of-factly. "That's right. Mia and Franklin were indeed
senior and junior.
That's also why that bald bastard agreed to work with the Driscoll family to plot against Victoria and Andrew."
Scarlett hesitated again. "Dad, that's not what | really wanted to tell you. I-It's something else." Maurice's tone
grew impatient, "I told you to speak plainly, so stop stalling." Scarlett took a deep breath and stopped holding
back. "When Victoria mentioned that Mia was Franklin's junior, she also said that they had a relationship.
She claimed Franklin arranged for her to marry into our family." Suddenly, she stopped speaking because she
noticed Maurice's face had gone pitch black with rage. ---- Nonetheless, Maurice was a man who had seen it all,
and he remained composed. He simply asked, "And?" Scarlett felt a chill run down her spine. She did not dare
hide it and said honestly, "Victoria also said that when Mia was still Franklin's junior, he forced himself on her.
She never blamed him for it, and in the end, you becthe man who picked up the pieces." Maurice's eyes
burned with fury as he roared, "Enough! That's all Now go. Get ready to head to the company later with that bald

Scarlett opened her mouth. "Dad, are you... alright?" Maurice shouted back. "I told you to get out. What are you
standing around for?
I'm fine, and you're going to keep what we just discussed buried forever. Don't let a third person know about this,
understand?" The cold gleam in her ruthless father's eyes made Scarlett 'tremble. "Understood, Dad. I'll take my
leave." She turned and quickly left the study. Only when she stepped outside did she dare take a deep breath.
The fresh air outside felt so much better than the suffocating atmosphere in Maurice's study.
---- She could not help but wonder what her father was really thinking. He knew about Mia and Franklin's sordid
history, yet he seemed unfazed. It was impossible to read his thoughts. Inside the dimly lit study, Maurice
suddenly let out a roar. Overcwith rage, he raised his hand to smash something, only to realize the desk
was already shattered. With nowhere to vent his fury, the pressure burned inside him like fire.
