Scarlet glared at Peter, waiting for him to continue talking."Don Marco, years ago, I witnessed him going to a rich man to seek money just to cure his wife, who he claimed to be my mother. He was denied access and that was how mother died. Then for days, he was in the hospital due to a sickness and just because he needed money, he went to a construction site even while sick, just to get money for my sister and I.

“How do you feel now, Scarlet?” Lucas asked, taking a seat beside her.Scarlet heaved a sigh, “How did you find me? By the way, I'm fine. I'm good.” Lucas gave a slight chuckle.

You were missing. I organized a search party led by the police. It took them a while but I'm glad we were able to find you.”“Do you know who was behind your kidnapping?” Lucas sounded as though he was trying to tell her something and not ask her a question. “Why do you ask?” Scarlet sounded aloof and wondered why Lucas was interested in the topic. She knew he also thought Peter was behind her kidnapping.“It was Peter, your driver.” Scarlet was not willing to sit and hear everyone blame Peter for something he obviously didn't do or wasn't willing to do.
