Mr. CEO's Young Mistress novel Chapter 61

Sharon suddenly thought, "He's not going to hit me, is he?"

"Do you admit to your wrongdoings?" The man demanded icily. 

Sharon frowned and hung her head solemnly. 

Leonard looked ready to blow a fuse as he glared at her. "Answer me!"

Sharon jumped. Feeling sorry for herself, she mumbled, "I was only going to sleep over at a friend's house for one night. You're overreacting."

Leonard's face immediately darkened when he heard her response. 

"Great, Sharon, just great!" 

"Why, thank you!" Sharon choked out. 

Leonard's hands clenched into fists as he glared at Sharon, his chest rising and falling rapidly. "How dare you—" 

"What's the big deal? It was only going to be a sleepover at my friend's. It wasn't like I was getting into fights or drinking in bars! If you're that unhappy, I'll move out tomorrow and live with Grandpa, alright?" Sharon snapped unhappily, glaring at Leonard with reddened eyes. 

...

...

Leonard was taken aback by her violent reaction.

After two seconds, he sneered. "I see that you've become bolder—"

"You can say whatever you want!"

Sharon retorted loudly, cutting him off again. 

With a clenched jaw, she slowly got up from the floor, holding on to her butt as she waddled funnily to the door.

Leonard couldn't believe that the young lady putting up a fuss in front of him was Sharon. 

His eyes widened in anger as he glowered at Sharon. "Did I give you permission to leave?"

"Well, it isn't any of your business, is it? My legs are my own, so I'll go wherever I want to! You don't get to tell me what to do!" Sharon seethed.

Tonight, Sharon was like a bear with a sore head, clapping back aggressively to everything Leonard said. 

...

Leonard had steam coming out of his ears. He trudged forward and lifted Sharon, who had been about to open the door. Throwing her over his shoulder, he gave her two sharp slaps on the buttocks.  

Sharon froze up, dumbstruck.

After a few seconds, she burst into tears. 

Her ear-splitting cries were hysterical as if Leonard intended to kill her. 

...

Sharon's attitude greatly angered Leonard. 

His face was stony as he hauled Sharon onto the bed. 

The bed was exceptionally soft and had a sprung bed base, so the impact did not hurt Sharon. 

...

However, Sharon still saw stars. 

But the sudden action successfully cut off her cries. 

She laid on the bed, wide-eyed with confusion. 

"Were you wrong?" Leonard demanded.

She not only felt that she did nothing wrong, but she also felt that she was the one who had been wronged the most. 

Seeing that she wouldn't admit her mistakes, Leonard lowered his head again.

Sharon's legs flailed from the pain. 

Leonard released her once more and fixed his cold eyes on her, who was breathing heavily. "Were you wrong?" he repeated. 

"I-I-I want to f-find grandpa a-a-and tell him h-how you're torturing m-me. Oh! It hurts! I-I was wrong! I was wrong, all right?" Sharon wailed between sobs.

...

Leonard curled his lip and removed his teeth. His face was cold and unforgiving as he stared at Sharon. "Will you do it again?"

"N-N-No. I won't..." Sharon hid her face in her hands, tears escaping her eyes. 

"Are you going to be cheeky and talk back?"

"No," Sharon replied.

"So, do I get to tell you what to do?" Leonard narrowed his eyes. 

Tears streamed down her face as she nodded her head.  

"Do I?" he asked again. 

"Yes, yes, yes!" Sharon repeated, almost driven crazy at this point. 

She may have agreed on the outside, but inside, she was actually cursing him for being an overbearing tyrant!

Sharon fluttered her tear-filled eyelashes, sniffled, and looked at Leonard. 

"Does it hurt?" Leonard furrowed his brows and asked softly when he noticed Sharon's lips trembling. 

Sharon blinked, tears sliding down from the edge of her eyes. 

"Duh! Why don't I give you a bite as well?" Sharon wanted to snap at him but lacked the courage.
