Chapter 1186: Chapter 1186: Slapped and Put in Solitary Confinement

Scarlett was feeling guilty under the barrage of questions, but she didn’t back down, her innocent almond-shaped eyes feigning ignorance, “What news?”

Willy’s gaze suddenly darkened, his face even angrier!

“You don’t know about the news between you and Li Beijue?”

“What news between me and Brother Beijue? I don’t know anything.” Scarlett widened her eyes, appearing surprised and innocent, “Daddy, what are you talking about?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Willy raised his hand and suddenly slapped her on the face—

“Slap!” The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the entire villa.

Scarlett was stunned by the slap, even Kou Wenjing was taken aback for a moment, frowning. However, she did not step in to mediate, knowing that her stepdaughter had a significant prejudice against her, and she had no interest in changing someone else’s daughter’s view of her, nor in getting involved in someone else’s father-daughter communication. If she intervened now, she feared that not only would her stepdaughter not appreciate it, but would also think she was stoking the fire.

Scarlett covered half of her face, eyes reddening in disbelief, “Daddy, you hit me?”

It was the first time she had been hit, and it happened right in front of this woman.

No matter how good she was at pretending, at this moment she was emotionally turbulent and could not maintain her composure.

Willy didn’t soften his expression despite her tearful eyes, staring directly into hers, he said bluntly, “Yes, I hit you! I’ve spent so many years teaching you how to be a good princess, how to be a good person, and this is how you repay me? By being a liar? I’ve educated you for so long, and in the end, you’ve learned nothing but your mother’s ways through and through!”

Willy was furious, disregarding her feelings, he said directly, “Don’t tell me you’re unaware anymore, you don’t know! I know exactly what you’ve done. You’re the one who called the paparazzi to take those photos, right?”

Scarlett, who was initially angry, was now at a loss for words being questioned like this, “I…”

“Don’t think that by getting someone to help you through the Female Officer, I can’t trace it back to you! That little trick of yours, trying to play games like others, do you think you are an entertainment circle celebrity? You are the fourth in line to the royal throne of Country W, as a princess, degrading yourself to learn these low-level methods, you’ve really disappointed me!”

What he found out, Old Master Li could also find out.

They gave face to the Old Queen by not directly exposing this matter to the media, but instead contacting him to bring her back.

But through the conversation, he already felt that Old Master Li was dissatisfied with Scarlett’s actions.

Who would like someone who schemes against their grandson right at their own home!

Yet his daughter thought she had done it flawlessly, feeling smug about it.

“You better stay at home during this time and reflect on yourself! And don’t even think about you and Li Beijue anymore!”

He had already swallowed his pride and probed the Li family’s attitude, and they seamlessly shifted the topic back, indicating they had no such intentions.

Everything was just his daughter’s self-indulgence.

As a member of the royal family, he had already lowered himself to ask on her behalf, and since they had no such intention, they couldn’t shamelessly attach themselves.

Scarlett was listening at first, but suddenly jumped up at the end, “I don’t want to!”

Prince Willy didn’t waste words with her, directly instructing the servants by his side, “Take the Princess back to her room to rest!”
