Tame Me My Brother -in-Law By Sweet Sakura novel Chapter 16

Tame Me My Brother -in-Law Chapter 16 

The world seemed to freeze as I entered the room, the people around me 

took a deep breath, looking at me, shocked. Their eyes widened as their 

gazes jumped from me to Brylee, and from Brylee then back to me. 

Everyone was stunned as they stared at my calm and relaxed expression but 

suddenly, my eyes were beginning to hurt from the sudden stinging 

sensation caused by the flashes of camera that were going off all around 

1. me. I lifted my hand to try to cover my face when I heard one of the reporters 

asked me a question. 

“Are you sure that it’s actually you? The woman in the video?” 

“Yes…” I didn’t blink an eye as I stared at the reporter and answered him 

directly and to the point. “That woman in the photos and in the video is me…” 

That was the only words I was allowed to say.

Chapter 16 Scapegoat 

2/8 

I just stood there motionless with a blank look written all over my face as the 

crowd jeered at me and barraged me with a never–ending stream of 

questions and sarcastic comments. 

After finishing what I had to say, I was silent for the rest of the conversation. I 

didn’t say anything and I simply allowed them to take pictures of me and 

abuse me in any way they wanted. Some people even cursed at me and 

urged me to get the hell out of the city. 

I just shrugged my shoulders and pretended not to pay any attention to 

them as I was preoccupied with watching the clock in anticipation of ten 

o’clock, which was the moment at which I would be able to leave and return 

to the hospital. I don’t want mom to get worried about me. I told her that I 

would be gone for the next two hours in order to take care of some really 

important matters. 

As soon as the hand of the clock struck ten, I raised my hand to stop 

everyone from talking. “Can I go now?” 

They fell silent but their eyes were focused behind me, and when I turned

around, I was met with a forceful slap to the face. Of course, there was no 

3/8 

need for me to look up in order to determine who had hurt me. That would be 

Julio Lauren, my ever dearest father. 

Everyone was taken aback by his unexpected gesture, but he didn’t appear 

to care as he lifted his hand once more to slap me. “You’re such a disgrace 

to the family!” 

I lowered my head, fixing my gaze on the ground, but there was a faint smile 

plastered across my face that every people in the room couldn’t see. 

Then I straightened my back, pulled my chin up, and locked eyes with my 

father, who was completely captivated by the blackness in my pupils and the 

cynicism in my visage. Although I could see the softening in his eyes as he 

glanced back at me, I found that it had no effect on me anymore. 

I wore a fake smile and then lifted my hand to lightly touch his cheek making 

him flinch before opening my mouth in a tone that was only audible to the 

two of us. “Don’t forget your promise, dear father…”

Chapter 16 Scapegoat 

After then, I turned around and left the room, ignoring my father as he 

shouted my name from the stage. 

4/8 

As I walked out of the building, then the rain suddenly poured down. The dark 

sky, mirroring my current mood, felt smothering. 

My chest was heaving up and down as I bit my lip and restrained the feelings 

that were about to come forth. As I stood there, I watched the rain while my 

emotions were on the verge of exploding. 

In a paroxysm of despair, my hands were clutching the hem of my skirt as I 

recalled the whole scene earlier. 

“What kind of help do you want from me?” I asked, giving him sideway 

glances. 

“If you want to continue the treatment of your mother, you need to be 

Brylee’s scapegoat,” my father declared as he stopped puffing on the 

cigarette and set it down in the ashtray on the table. 

Chapter 16 Scapegoat 

“What if I won’t?” 

“Then you can’t stay in the city anymore!” he roared on my face. “Do you 

think you can bear watching your mother die just like that? I know you can’t 

refuse me, Celine. You have no choice but to follow my orders!”

“No!” I yelled back as I turned on my heels to leave, but he grabbed my arm 

roughly and prevented me from leaving. 

“I’ll talk to your mother and I know that she will listen to me…” he spoke 

through gritted teeth and his cold voice crept down my spine as I stared at 

him murderously. 

Indeed, he was right. He had mom wrapped around his little finger, knowing 

that she wouldn’t dare to disobey him. I have no clue what could have 

caused her to react in such a fearful manner toward her ex–husband. 

But Julio Lauren knew that I would never leave my mother behind. Therefore, I 

had no choice but to accept the offer because the price of a damned 

reputation was nothing compared to my mother’s treatment and operation. 

Chapter 16 Scapegoat 

“It must be her! The slutty looking woman who is currently shown on the 

television. She is the woman who has no shame!” 

I was startled, pulling me out of my thoughts when three young women 

suddenly appeared out of nowhere and poked their fingers at me while 

giving me death glares. 

6/8 

I felt my chest tighten and my breath catch in my throat when they ran up to 

me and shoved me to the ground.
