Secret Scion

"You planned this, Mikaela? Damn you! I won't let you get away with this!" Freya said with a pale face.

Mikaela merely snorted coldly and said, "I'll welcome you anytime. Garrett, I'm leaving for now. Have fun." With that, she walked out of the door.

However, at this time, a police siren could be heard from the outside. Even Garrett could not help but furrow his eyebrows.

"Freya, you called the cops?!" Mikaela yelled angrily.

"I was forced to think out of the box and use unusual tactics against creeps like you. Master Schmidt, I believe that you don't want to be taken away by the police, right? If what happened here got around, it would be damaging for you as well, right?" Freya said.

Garrett's expression was dark as his eyes were ice-cold. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand and said, "Let her go."

When Freya heard that, she quickly walked out of the restaurant. She only let out a sigh of relief after she had gotten into her friend's police car.

"I didn't think that she would be on her guard. You don't have to be angry about this, though. We have plenty of chances. She'll be yours eventually, Garrett." Mikaela closed the door and walked over to Garrett.

Mikaela was also quite furious. In order to let Garrett succeed, she had also invested a lot of effort in it. Of course she was not happy when she saw that Freya had managed to escape at the last moment when they almost succeeded.

Garrett said nothing. However, the ire on his face was becoming more and more noticeable. In the end, the entire private room's atmosphere became suffocating.

He grabbed a glass of wine and finished it all in one gulp.

The fire in his body became more and more unbearable. His eyes then scanned at Mikaela. She was not that mature, but her figure was already quite fine.

Very quickly, Garrett's eyes were filled with carnal desire.

Mikaela's heart suddenly started thumping wildly as she muttered, "Garrett, maybe we should go home too."

Mikaela did not wait for Garrett to speak and quickly turned around, wanting to leave.

However she had just turned when Garrett grabbed her right hand. With a pull, Mikaela fell right onto Garrett's lap.

"You started the flame in my body. Now that Freya is gone, aren't you supposed to douse this flame?"

Meanwhile, the elites waiting outside the door could not help but exchange a glance when they heard the sounds of clothes being shredded. They were not too surprised since they had seen it so many times. Forget about the young ladies in Rollinsford, even the ones in the Capital City could not escape Garrett's grasp.

Radley was still dreaming about what would happen once all of his plans came to fruition. Based on his estimation, once Garrett had made it, if Freya did not want those in their circle to know what had happened, then she would no doubt convince Harley to ally with the Schmidts. Then, three out of the four great households would stand with Garrett. Even the Yaegers had no chances against them.

Looking at the time, Radley believed that the deed was already done. He then gave Mikaela a call and said with a smile, "Is it done, Mikaela?"

However, what he heard was Mikaela's cries of pain, "That bastard Garrett raped me!"

Radley's mind went blank; it was as if something had just exploded in his head, and he was completely stunned.

After the initial shock, even Radley could not control the anger in his heart. He could not help but slam his phone onto the floor.

He had not expected that his plan would end up like this.

Garrett raped Mikaela! What was that bastard thinking?!

When Radley saw Mikaela, she was emotionally very unstable. She was hugging her legs close to her body, all balled up in the corner of the room. She was only wearing clothes that had already been torn apart, with her two long legs exposed.

Her eyes were all red and dejected. There were still tears on her face, and she seemed to have lost her spirit too. She no longer had the majesty of a lady.

Radley felt like a needle was pushed into his heart. She was still his cousin after all. The two of them were also quite close.

"Mikaela..."

At this time, even Radley's voice was shaking, and he could not help it as his eyes turned red.

"Garrett Schmidt, that bastard! That son of a bitch! I'll kill him myself!" Mikaela said as she gritted her teeth. However, there was a tinge of hopelessness in her voice.

"Mikaela, let me take you home."

"Radley, you brought him into our household. Aren't you feeling even slightly responsible now that I've been raped?!" Mikaela stared at Radley angrily.

"Mikaela, let's go home for now. We'll discuss this once you've calmed down."

Mikaela was emotionally very unstable. As such, no matter what he said, Mikaela would have none of it. When he walked over and was going to put his coat over her, she pushed him away instead.

"Radley, were you thinking of offering me as a sacrifice from the very beginning when you wanted to impress Garrett?" Mikaela glared at Radley with vehemence in her eyes. "That has to be the case! Radley, how ruthless can you be? I'm your cousin! Since you don't care that I'm your cousin, then we're through! I'm going to tell Grandpa about this and ask him to help me!" With that, Mikaela jumped down from the sofa and was going to walk out.

"You can't let Grandpa know about this!" Radley quickly pulled Mikaela back and said with a frown. "If Grandpa finds out about it, he'll never allow us to work with the Schmidts again. It'll be a great loss for us! Can we talk about this tomorrow? You can't think straight when you're angry." "So I was right! Radley, you really did want to sacrifice me to impress Garrett! You're so despicable! I hate you!" Mikaela said in anger.

Radley immediately said, "How can you say something like that, Mikaela? You're my cousin! I wouldn't let anyone hurt you! After what Garrett has done, I'm angry too, but he's the scion of the Schmidts! What else can we do? Do you want to let the entire world know that you've been raped by Garrett? If you tell Grandpa, he'll be furious! Then, we won't be able to settle this anymore."

"Mikaela, you're emotional right now, and you can't think straight. You have to listen to me. I'm your cousin, after all. I'll stand by you no matter what, alright? Listen to me. You can't let anyone know about this right now, or you'll ruin your reputation, understand?"

Mikaela had just hit eighteen years old. In short, she was still a child. She was already emotionally in ruins after having encountered something like this.

She was also afraid that others would find out about her getting raped by Garrett. If words of what happened were spread, it would definitely ruin her life. She could not see anyone anymore. After a long while, Mikaela's emotions finally stabilized a little. There was perseverance in her eyes as she said firmly, "I'll make him pay!"

Meanwhile, when Freya reached home, she was still terrified about what had happened. While she had managed to escape this time, no one could guarantee that there would not be a second time. Not to mention that she could not guarantee that she could always prepare an exit. Accidents could always happen.

After giving it some thought, she decided to tell Harley what had happened.

"That bastard! Is he not afraid of the law?!" Even Harley was surprised by what happened. It was lucky that Freya was prepared. Otherwise, the Sullivans' only heiress would become a joke in Rollinsford.

"Freya, I'll speak to Hallberg personally tomorrow. They're testing our bottom line by placing the crosshair on you. Go back and get some rest. If there's nothing important, just stay at home for the time being," Harley said coldly.

Freya nodded and then returned to get some sleep.

The next day, when Asher woke up, it was raining cats and dogs outside. Raindrops fell into the hotel's artificial lake as it reflected the images of the trees.

Ding dong!

It was not long before the doorbell rang. Asher opened the door and saw Noelle standing outside in the corridor. He was somewhat shocked. Why is she here so early?

"You can call me if there's anything. There's no need to walk so far."

Noelle was wearing a patterned dress. Her slender arms and pearly-white calves were exposed. Her figure was perfect with a slim waist. He had to admit that Noelle's body was perfect. Even though he had seen countless beautiful women, Noelle was someone very rare and special. When Noelle saw that Asher's eyes were scanning her, she could not help but blush as her heart began to race.

Noelle did not hate the way that Asher was looking at her. Instead, she felt somewhat pleased. "I haven't contacted you for the past few days, so I came over to take a look at you." When the two of them looked at each other, they felt as if there was a spark going through their bodies. Noelle quickly shifted her sight away and went to take a seat on the sofa with her head lowered. She was very nervous and did not know where to place her hand.

"You are now the Stewards' matriarch. You have a different identity now. If there's nothing important, don't come to my place anymore." Asher closed the door. He then poured a glass of hot water and put it in front of Noelle.

"The Stewards are making enemies at every turn. The only way for us to survive is to lick your boots, oh scion from the Capital City. You can switch me out for someone else with one word. Are you afraid that if I stick around, other women won't be able to approach you anymore?" Noelle gave Asher a look of interest.
