Chapter 98: Poor Person

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“You are… Mr. Brooke, right?” Karen looked at Aston with an intense gaze.
Aston hurriedly bowed. “Hello, Aunt Karen. You can just call me Aston.”
Aston’s action made Karen’s heart flutter with joy. Look, what a good choice for a son-in-law. He’s so polite, modest, and addresses me so dearly. He must have asked around about us, and he’s probably already taken a liking to my daughter.
However, if Karen knew that Aston knew her only because Scarlet always referred to her as ‘Karen the Shrew’ whenever she cursed at their family in front of him, she would probably look a lot less gratified.
The more Karen looked at Aston, the more pleased she was with him. She pointed at a chair in front of her. “Okay, I won’t stand on ceremony then. Aston, come have a seat.”
“I’ll be imposing on everyone then,” Aston said politely as he pulled Scarlet to sit down on the chair beside him.
Seeing this scene, Charlotte was furious. “Mom, this is a family meal to celebrate Cheyenne’s promotion to general manager. Why are you letting them stay?”
Karen poked Charlotte’s forehead and chided, “You stupid girl!”
Looking at Charlotte’s displeased face, Karen couldn’t say anything more and simply said with a smile, “We’re all relatives. There’s nothing wrong with having a meal together. Besides, since it’s a celebration, the more, the merrier!”
Charlotte was already extremely upset. But since they already sat down, she couldn’t chase them away and could only stay in her seat furiously.
Karen could no longer bother to appease her daughter. She simply stared at Aston and kept bombarding him with questions about his age, marital status, family, etc.
Beside him, Scarlet immediately sulked. Even a fool could tell what Karen’s intentions were.
She had already introduced Aston as her boyfriend just now, yet Karen was still doing this. Does she think I’m non-existent?
Scarlet was furious. She was about to lose her temper and throw a fit, but Aston squeezed her fingers under the table to hint her not to do anything.
Scarlet endured her anger. Charlotte wasn’t a fool either, and she had already figured out what her mother was trying to do.
To be honest, Charlotte didn’t have a good impression of Aston Brooke at all. Although he looked polite, he had been gawking at Cheyenne ever since he entered, which was to Cheyenne’s repulsion. She could tell at a glance that he was a flirtatious person.
Even if he weren’t Scarlet’s boyfriend, Charlotte wouldn’t want to date him, as she wasn’t attracted to him at all.
“Enough, Mom. What are you asking so many questions for? What does it matter to us what someone’s boyfriend’s family is like?” Charlotte interjected in displeasure.
“Leave me be. Why can’t I even ask?” Karen rolled her eyes at Charlotte. She muttered softly, “It is still uncertain whose son-in-law he will be in the future.”
Scarlet had a sharp sense of hearing and immediately lost it when she heard these words. She stood up abruptly and said to Karen hostilely, “Don’t think I don’t know what thoughts you’re harboring. Aunt Karen, he is my boyfriend. Will you please respect yourself?”
“Hey, I’m your aunt. Is that the tone you should have when you’re talking to me? You’re so rude! How did your mother teach you? You don’t know how to respect your elders at all! After you get married in the future, how will you respect your elders? If I were Aston, I would have dumped you a long time ago!”
Karen had never lost an argument before. Besides, her daughter was now the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation, so she definitely wouldn’t take a little girl like Scarlet seriously.
Scarlet was so furious that her face flushed red, and she wished she could scratch Karen’s detestable face with her hands.
However, Karen’s family was here, and she wouldn’t have it easy if she hit or scolded her. She could only grab Aston’s arm and exclaim aggrievedly, “Aston, I can’t stand it anymore. They’re being bullies! Let’s go!”
However, Aston shook off her hand and said with a frown, “It’s true that you were wrong just now. Hurry up and apologize to Aunt Karen.”
“What? You want me to apologize?” Scarlet gaped in disbelief. “Why should I apologize? She knows you’re my boyfriend, but she kept asking those questions. She’s the shameless one who’s trying to sow discord between me and my boyfriend. What did I do wrong?”
Smack!
He slapped her hard on the face.
Scarlet cocked her head to the side and covered her face while looking at Aston in astonishment. “You actually hit me?”
Aston looked at Scarlet coldly. “You were rude to your elder, but you’re still unrepentant. You really disappoint me too much! The wife I want to marry will never be someone like you who doesn’t know how to behave properly. Let’s break up and never have anything to do with each other from now on!”
Scarlet trembled and immediately burst into tears as she stared at Aston in disbelief. “You actually want to break up with me?”
These days, Aston had been very nice to her, and in fact, when they were at the door just now, they had even talked about marriage. However, she never would have thought that he would actually hit her and even break up with her just because of a small argument.
“Yes. Aunt Karen is right. She’s your aunt, but you were so disrespectful to her. You won’t respect my family’s elders if you marry me in the future. I really don’t dare to marry you since you have such a terrible character,” Aston said righteously.
When Scarlet saw Aston’s cold expression, her heart quivered as she finally realized that Aston wasn’t joking and really meant it when he said he wanted to break up with her!
Scarlet panicked. She had given herself to Aston long ago and was so close to marrying him. Her grandpa Dominic and her family were pleased about it too. If Aston broke up with her now, she’d be really embarrassed to face others.
“I’m sorry, Aston, I was wrong! I just care about you too much, and I was so furious that I spoke to my aunt rudely. I didn’t mean to disrespect my elder! I’ll apologize to her right away. Please just forgive me this time!” Scarlet hugged Aston and bawled pitifully.
However, Aston did not compromise and simply pushed her away. “Get lost!”
Scarlet was wearing high heels, and after being pushed, she lost her balance and fell onto the ground.
But Aston did not even look at her and instead said to Karen apologetically, “Sorry, Aunt Karen. I’m sorry for being a killjoy today. Cheyenne, Charlotte, I’m sorry too. I will definitely visit you and make up for it one day.”
After saying this, he looked at Cheyenne and Charlotte, then turned around and left.
Seeing Aston leaving, Scarlet, who was wailing on the ground, could no longer worry about anything else and got up to chase after him. “Aston! Aston, wait for me!”
