Only after Scarlet chased after Aston and disappeared entirely did they recover from the shock and momentary speechlessness.

In the end, Karen sighed. “I didn’t expect Aston to be so respectful toward his elders. This sets him apart from those rebellious scions. Hmm, he’s a fine young man.”

Cheyenne and Charlotte were astonished to hear this.

“Mom, is there something wrong with you? You think such a person is good? He slapped Scarlet and pushed her over a trivial matter. He obviously has violent tendencies.” Charlotte was dumbfounded. Scarlet actually still panicked and chased after a domestic abuser. Her brains must be fried!

“What do you know? Aston may have hit Scarlet, but that’s because she made a mistake. If she didn’t have a foul mouth, would he have hit her? Besides, he just slapped her and gave her a little push. How is that considered violent?” Karen disagreed.

“You can’t judge a man based on that alone. Look, Aston is so good-looking, and he’s decked out in designer clothing. He’s clearly the scion of a wealthy family. It’s normal for him to be a little hot-tempered. Besides, he’s so respectful toward his elders, and I can tell he obviously has a good character. If you can marry him, you won’t have to worry for the rest of your life!”

Charlotte flew into a rage and snapped, “Who would want to marry someone like him?! He’s just rich, and you’re singing such high praises of him. If that’s not considered violent, what is? I don’t want to marry a domestic abuser. I’m afraid you’d still be praising him endlessly even after he beats me to death!”

“Hey girl, what are you saying? If you’re obedient, why would he hit you? Besides, what’s wrong with him being rich? Do you want to marry a penniless loser like Lucas too?” Karen retorted, thinking that her daughter was worrying for nothing and making up nonsense. She insulted Lucas out of nowhere too.

Charlotte humphed in disdain. “Forget it. That guy clearly had a girlfriend, but he kept gawking at me and Cheyenne lecherously as soon as he entered. He’s obviously a jerk. Lucas is so much better than him!”

Seeing Charlotte repeatedly retort, Karen was immediately furious. “Charlotte Carter! Are you out to anger me? How can this loser hold a candle to Aston?” Karen pointed her bright, red-lacquered fingernail at Lucas.

Lucas touched his nose speechlessly. I’ve merely been sitting here quietly. How did I provoke her?

“His family is rich, that’s all. How can that scoundrel compare to Lucas?” Charlotte retorted indignantly. “In terms of looks and height, Lucas trumps him. In terms of meticulousness, Lucas is way better because he helps Cheyenne to the food and pours her water. That man simply sat there and waited for Scarlet to serve him. In terms of character, Lucas is obviously far better than him. Lucas never ogles other girls. Mom, will you stop being so superficial? You’ve only seen that man once. How much do you know about him?”

Karen was suddenly at a loss for words. Then she hollered furiously, “Forget it! I’m not going to talk to you anymore, wretched girl! You’re really going to be the death of me. I’ll teach you a lesson after I come back from the washroom!”

With that, she glowered at Lucas and Cheyenne before leaving the private room.

Cheyenne poked Charlotte’s forehead. “It’s not like you don’t know what Mom’s temper is like. The more you refute, the angrier she gets.”

“I did that just to make her change her opinion of my brother-in-law, Lucas.” Charlotte pouted, feeling wronged.

Hearing Charlotte call Lucas her brother-in-law made Cheyenne feel extremely embarrassed. She looked at Lucas quietly as her ears turned red.

“I know you have good intentions, but by doing this, you’re only going to make Mom pick on Lucas even more.”

“Huh? Seriously?! What should we do then?!” Charlotte was immediately nervous.

“Forget it. When Mom comes back later, don’t say much to her. If she says anything that irks you, just pretend you didn’t hear it,” Cheyenne said, feeling helpless.

Meanwhile, Scarlet kept running after Aston, all the way to the parking lot. She only caught up to him when he reached his car.

“Aston, don’t break up with me, okay? I’ll make up for my mistakes immediately. I really will! Please give me another chance! I don’t want to break up with you…” Scarlet was weeping so badly that her makeup smudged.

With a trace of disgust, Aston suddenly thought of something and smiled. “You don’t want to break up? Sure. But from now on, you have to do whatever I want you to. Otherwise, you can get lost now.”

Hearing that there was still a chance, Scarlet nodded profusely. “Okay! I promise I’ll obey you from now on and do whatever you tell me to do.”

“Really? Don’t just pay lip service and forget your promise today when I tell you what to do in the future.” He looked at her skeptically.

“No, no, no, I can swear! I’m willing to do whatever you say!” She hurriedly promised, fearing that he wouldn’t believe her.

“You don’t have to swear. No one will believe such things. I’ll let you do one thing now. If you can do it, I will believe that you’re sincere.” A peculiar smile appeared on his face.

Scarlet frantically nodded in agreement. “Okay, Aston. I’ll definitely try my best to do whatever you tell me to!”

“Okay, in this case, I want you to get either Charlotte Carter or Cheyenne Carter into my bed,” Aston said slowly.

“What!?!” Scarlet was stunned, not expecting him to make this request. How could she get another woman into her boyfriend’s bed…

She couldn’t even tolerate it when Karen tried to sow discord between her and him just now. How could she be willing to get another woman to get intimate with him?

Moreover, his request broke her heart.

Scarlet was suddenly overwhelmed with complicated emotions.

“What? You can’t even do that? You were lying when you made that promise to me just now then. In that case, we have nothing more to say to each other.” Aston sneered and reached out to open the car door.

“No! Wait!” Scarlet grabbed his wrist with a look of panic.

If she agreed, she would still be Aston Brooke’s girlfriend, and she might get to marry him in the future. If she disagreed, he would immediately dump her, and she would no longer have a choice.

Scarlet clenched her jaw and said miserably, “Okay, I agree to your request. However, you’re just going to sleep with them, right? I’m still going to be the one you marry, right?”

“Of course, silly girl. I’m just going to toy with them. You’re the one I love the most.” Aston smiled gently as he touched Scarlet’s hair.
