"There was no issue in school at all. To be more specific, what did Lily do, and why is she standing there?"Scarlett observed Lily as she stood close to her father with her head bowed. It seemed as though she was both depressed and angry."Scarlett, you have a history of preferring to conceal information from us. What took place at the school is not a secret to us."Scarlett had an abrupt feeling of foreboding at that very moment."How did you hear about it in the first place?""Laura was the one who informed us of it. She asserted that Lily was the one who started the rumors by spreading false information. We made an attempt to inquire of Lily regarding the veracity of the rumor, but she refused to respond. We are unable to pass judgment on what occurred until we have all of the facts." The statement was made by Scarlett's mother. In an angry response to her statements, Scarlett clenched both of her fists."Laura has been intentionally misleading you; Lily was not the one who starte
"I am telling you the truth in all sincerity. You are the one who provided me with the opportunity to live in this manner, and as a result, I have nothing to gain by trying to go against you because I am happy with my life here." Lily spoke and acted with self-assurance."There is no doubt that Laura is insane." Scarlett muttered and left the room. "Scarlett!! Scarlett, please hold on." Scarlett overheard Laura's voice coming from the direction of the hallway. She came to a complete halt, but she did not turn around to look at Laura."Did you come to apologize?""I... Scarlett, why don't you trust what I'm saying? That is not something I would ever do to someone like you! You are the focus of my attention and concern." Laura yelled. Even Lily was able to pick up on her voice coming from across the room."You care the most about me? Is that right? That doesn't give me any sense of security at all. If what you just said was how you really felt, then why are you st
"Hahaha, you crack me up, Scarlett! You are so adorable!" Everyone in the class turned their attention to Hudson as he flung his head back and laughed out loud. His charming voice had captured their attention.After hearing his chuckle, Scarlett's cheeks became even more flushed."Quit doing that! You'll convince them to have a different opinion of us!""Do you hold a different opinion? What are you contemplating with regard to Scarlett? I'm only pointing out something that almost everyone else sees, and yet you are considering something else. That is why I referred to you as being so cute.""Hudson, you are giving me such a hard time with this..." Scarlett pushed through with resolve. Her complexion was so red at this point that it put a tomato to shame.Laura was glaring angrily at them as she stood by the door and watched how they interacted with one another. After that, she walked away from the class. "Even though I'm doing everything in my power to be closer to you, you went and
During that time period, Scarlett and Laura were both absent from school for the entirety of one month. They were both so traumatized by what had occurred that they had no choice but to check themselves into a medical facility for a period of three weeks in order to get some much-needed help.Because Hudson made it a habit to drop by Scarlett's house on a daily basis, Scarlett's parents were finally able to become acquainted with him."Hey, are you okay?" Hudson sat close to Scarlett who nodded. Since the accident, she has developed an oddly subdued demeanor and has not been very talkative. Her once effervescent and upbeat personality had entirely shifted, and the atmosphere that around her was consistently dreary."Do you feel like eating some ice cream right now? I will get it for you if you want me to." Hudson said again. It did not matter how hard he tried, since he was not successful in making Scarlett feel at ease and distracting her from the events that had transpired.Scarlett
".... You shouldn't be concerned about what I just stated. It's a little strange, Hudson, that you would tell me this without expecting anything in return, it's a little overwhelming...""I'm not pressing you Scarlett. You are free to take as much time as you need because I will not be leaving you for a very long time Scarlett." "I... I like you too.""Eh?." Hudson blinked. This remark was spoken by Scarlett in such a rapid and soft manner that he was unable to hear her."I promised myself that I would never repeat myself again, Hudson!" Scarlett showed her displeasure by pouting and crossing her arms."Come on... I completely missed what you were saying. Just say it again one more time, all right? Please repeat that one more time.""Quiet down, Hudson! I said I like you too." Scarlett gritted out. The moment Scarlett turned her back, Hudson stopped moving and peered at her with wide eyes."Scarlett, don't you dare turn your back on me!" Hudson forced her to turn around and look at h
"What are my next steps from this point? Because I have already begun to put together the components of my plan, there is no way that I will be able to alter it at this time. You, Scarlett, are going to be so upset by the time I'm done with you that you'll be crying. You're going to cry tears of blood, don't worry about it." Laura vowed and turned away. "Please accept my gratitude, Hudson, for everything you've done for me. I really do hope that you will keep to your words and wait for me to return." Scarlett held Hudson in a tight embrace. It felt like a farewell to her, and she dreaded the possibility that when she got back, nothing would be the same as she had imagined it would be. And she was absolutely correct. After being abroad for another three years, Scarlett finally made it back to her homeland."Mom? Currently, I am at the airport." In a deep voice, Scarlett revealed that she checked the time by looking at the costly dark watch that was on her wrist."Really? I am on my wa
Her mother couldn't help but beam with pride when she sensed the domineering air that surrounding her daughter after she had made her observation. Her daughter had unquestionably made a great deal of development while she was away in another country."I heard about what happened in the headquarters; exactly how many individuals were injured?""Twenty of our men were hurt, but none of them were killed. The headquarters was blasted to smithereens, but as a result of this, we have been able to obtain items that will assist us in defending ourselves against attacks of this nature in the future. It's just a question of time before everything falls into place; the majority of the other organizations have already come together to work with us." Scarlett filled him in on everything that had transpired since they had last spoken."This is wonderful. Scarlett, you have come a long way, and I always had faith that you will perform admirably in your new role.""Thank you dad." Scarlett smiled. Sh
"Ha... I can't believe this." Scarlett's sanity was on the verge of collapsing, and there was nothing else that could help her. Nevertheless, Scarlett is unsure about how she will go with her connection with Hudson once this final bond has been cut. It is only this one reason, which is honoring her brother's lifelong aspiration to do what he had always wanted to do, that is keeping her from falling apart totally at this very moment."I guess that this indicates that I won't have any other option except to go back to my class. There is a possibility that I will discover some capable subordinates in that location." Scarlett let out a sigh and smacked her cheeks while doing so."It's time to start taking things out of the boxes! It would be irresponsible of me to allow those two people to ruin both my mood and my day. It turns out that all of the practice I've had was worthwhile."Since Scarlett had not attended school for a considerable amount of time, her parents spent the next few day
