After a few minutes, Lauren's sobs finally subsided. There was only a soft sob that could be heard.
Her pitiful-looking eyes were fixed on Scarlett.
"My daughter Scarlett, even though I am not your biological mother, I beg you, please help your father. Please help him so he can wake up. Scarlett, only you can help him..."
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Lauren took Scarlett's hand and squeezed it gently. Tears were still streaming down her cheeks as she looked into Scarlett's eyes.
"Mom will forgive your mistake as long as you help your father..." Lauren continued in her still pitiful tone.
"Mom, enough! Please, I beg you, mom... don't blame sister Scarlett!" Nicole could not bear to see her mother blaming Scarlett from the beginning. "It's not her fault!"
Until now, Nicole didn't understand why her mother blamed Scarlett. Her sister had nothing to do with the assault that left their father injured. It was the bandits who were at fault. But strangely, her mother always blamed her sister Scarlett. Why?
"Shut up, Nicole Piers!!" Lauren glares at Nichole, her useless daughter.
Lauren would teach this stupid girl a lesson later. Now, she needed to deal with this little bitch, Scarlett. She needed her to sign the transfer of ownership of the company Ocean Groups.
The company did belong to Scarlett's mother. Still, it had been several years since she and Jonathan had made the company survive until now. They deserved to be owners, not just an acting CEO and Presidents.
After scolding her useless daughter, she again turned her pitiful gaze to Scarlett.
"My dear Scarlett, you are the only one who can help your father. I beg you, please help..."
Scarlett frowned.
"Me? How so?" she asked, confused. Can she really help her father?
Lauren took a deep breath before she explained to Scarlett, "We need you to do something, Scarlett! Wait..." Lauren's voice was gentle and lovely. It made Scarlett stunned.
She barely noticed that the woman in front of her was the sneaky bitch Lauren Piers. She almost fell into her trap, manipulating her like a child.
Scarlett took a deep breath, trying to contain her emotions.
'If this bitch, is suddenly kind to me, she must be up to something...' Scarlett couldn't help but want to know what her plan was.
Lauren looks for something in her bag. After she found what she was looking for, she immediately gave the brown envelope to Scarlett.
"My Dear... sign this document. This is the only way to wake up your father..."
Scarlett frowned as she stared at the large brown envelope in her hand.
"What's this?" Scarlett asked, looking at Lauren.
"Before you see it, you must remember, this is the fastest way to help your father," Lauren said seriously.
The more Lauren talked, the more confused Scarlett became. And made her even more alert. She stared at the tense-looking woman in front of her with a questioning gaze. She could only try to study her movement, but later something crossed her mind.
'What the hell!! Is she kidding me? This isn't a marriage registration form, is it?'
Her hand gripped the envelope tighter — too scared to look inside. If this woman forged her signature and sold her again to someone, she would definitely kill her!
"Open and read! If you sign this document, I can bring a doctor who can cure Jonathan. The divine doctor's success rate is 99%..." Lauren said confidently.
Although Scarlett was very confused by Lauren's words, she opened the envelope and was surprised to read its contents.
"Company transfer letter?" Scarlett muttered.
"Yes, dear, If you sign it. Then I will have the power to ask the doctor to come here to treat your dear father. Only the divine doctor can do this difficult surgery. However, I need you to sign the paper first..."
Scarlett chuckled in disbelief at what she was hearing. Has this woman gone mad? How could this greedy woman use her father to pressure her into handing over the company!?
"Scarlett, don't think I'm going to take the company. No. Don't think that way. The company belongs to your mother. Of course, one day, when you're ready, that company will be transferred back to you. Your father and I will only manage the company. But, this time, we need your sign to give me the power to contact that person..." Lauren explained.
Without money, Lauren was unable to contact the Divine Doctor. She needs to withdraw a lot of money from the company for that. Unfortunately, Jonathan couldn't do that because he was unconscious. And she has no power unless this girl gives it to her.
'Gosh, this is insane! Does this shameless woman think I'm so stupid!?' Scarlett's patience was wearing thin.
There was a nameless fire burning within her gaze as she looked sternly at this bitch, Lauren.
"Aunty, listen..."
Lauren stiffened at how sharp Scarlett's eyes were and how cold her voice was. Is she angry? Lauren wanted to urge her but decided to remain silent this time. She only needed this stupid girl to sign the papers. She would patiently wait.
"I am not a child! I will never sign any document you give me." Scarlett tore off the paper and threw it at Lauren's face. "As for my father, don't worry. I will take care of it!"
"You... You... How dare you tear up the papers? How dare you, Scarlet!!" Lauren's face softened a moment ago, and her gentle voice disappeared immediately. Her true nature is revealed as a greedy bitch, yelling at Scarlett. "Stop, Scarlett Piers!! Let's talk about it again, huh!? This is the only way to help your father? Is this how you treat him? Scarlett, you are so heartless..."
Scarlett didn't say a word, didn't even glance at the stupid bitch Lauren. She just walked to James and asked him to take her to see the head doctor who treated her father.
She needed to know the exact conditions of her father. As for the Divine Doctor that Lauren had said before, it also bothered her.
Is it true that the Divine Doctor can cure her father? She wanted to know.
