Chapter 264 Sudden Protest
It was always the sold excuses whenever Scarlett messed up.
Mason was sick of hearing it and there was no way he was letting her off the hook this
time.
Especially now that he was fuming, knowing Scarlett's actions not only hurt Emily but also embarrassed the
Smith family.
They couldn't avoid dealing with Isabella in the future.
Isabella seemed to be making the rounds today, but everyone knew she was here to lay down the law for Emily,
basically saying, "Mess with my daughter, and you'll have to answer to me."
So Mason decided it was tScarlett got the message that the family's honor and dignity were sacred, and it
couldn't be ruined by personal whims.
Mason snapped, "Stop with the useless excuses! Do you think I'm too old to get it? Even if | didn't, Isabella isn't

"Look at you. Who knows what tricks you pulled to make my son marry you. You and Isabella are in different
leagues. After all these years, you're still no match for her, and you have the nerve to show off!"
The more Mason talked, the angrier he got.
He raised his cane, ready to hit Scarlett.
Luckily, Michael stepped in just in time, while Veda watched coldly from the side.
Michael pleaded, "Grandpa, Mom knows she messed up. She really does! If you hit her today, she won't be able
to go to the banquet in a few days, and people will talk. Please, Grandpa, show smercy and spare her!"
Michael was the apple of the Smith family's eye.
Scarlett had been distant from him since he was little, but Mason adored him like a precious gem, showering him
with love.
So not even a cane hit, let alone a slap, was common.
And since there was a banquet in a few days, and Scarlett was invited, Mason had to think it over. He calmed
down a bit but kept scolding Scarlett. "Remember this, our Smith family has rules and standards. Your behavior
not only disgraces you but also our family! | can't kick you out, but how I deal with you is up to me. Think
carefully, do you want to live peacefully in the Smith Mansion, or be sent abroad and locked up by me!"
Mason's voice was full of anger and disappointment.
Scarlett kept her head down, crying, not daring to look Mason in the eye.
Whether she was truly sorry or just faking it, she knew Mason's family rules were no joke, and Isabella was not
someone to mess with.
Dealing with Emily would be tough in the future.
Now she had only one option left, which was to stay close to Veda and make sure she met the son of the deputy
director of the Emerald City Furniture Factory, and hopefully, arrange a marriage.
"Did you hear me! Your son is begging for you, are you deaf!" Mason's shout snapped Scarlett back to reality.

| won't dare anymore. I... | will change."
Scarlett's voice was shaky, and she looked genuinely scared.
Michael couldn't help but feel bad for her.
Only Veda and Mason stayed silent.
They just gave her a cold look, then turned and left, each going their own way.
The sound of Scarlett's crying echoed in the hallway for a long time. Michael couldn't take it anymore and finally
helped her up.
Scarlett took the chance to lean on Michael and cry. "I did it all for your own good! You are all my children, how
could I harm you? Emily isn't suitable for you, | just want you to be happy, what did | do wrong!"
"Alright, Mom." Michael's face darkened at her words.
