Scarlett’s POV

I turn to Adrian Dunn, and instantly Sebastian hastes: “Don’t go with him, please!”

“I’m sorry I forced your hand five years ago,” Magically, I find myself able to talk to him with peace now, “But we both know you couldn’t have married Ava back then even if I didn’t. So, call it even? Now that Ava is cured, and Granny has given her the approval, too. You can go ahead and do what you want this time. Just...”

I feel bad not telling him the truth, but I don’t want him to know about the mistake now. It would only drag on the tie between us that I no longer want, and it would ruin my only good memory of him.

“Just, make sure this time it’s what you want...please.”

I suddenly understood what Granny meant when she said she could only save him once. I could only save him once. He tries to marry Ava this time, I won’t be there to “speak up”.

If Sebastian was going to say anything at all, he wouldn’t now, not with Adrian Dunn’s presence. He raises the folder slowly, reluctance wri

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   333 Lucky Day

    Sophia Green is seeing black dots in front of her eyes, all the memories with Ava flashing through her mind.Only the other day, the Fullers were talking about how they appreciated that donor girl, saying that girl’s name was “also Sophia” even! They painted themselves as the grateful, innocent who kept on helping that girl even though that girl blackmailed her way into a marriage with Sebastian.That’s not what they said about Scarlet Fuller, and she certainly didn’t know Sebastian was married to the other Fuller girl this whole time.Wasn’t he in a relationship with Ava all these years?After all, that’s how Ava has been painting herself in front of her.“But…but you…” The Green Lady grabs Ava’s arm, desperately praying that Ava could provide a good explanation to any of these. Ava appears scared and confused, staring at her with a harmless, innocent look.Sophia Green can’t form a question. She stares at Ava’s innocent look, suddenly realizing that she can’t really pin down any mom

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   332 The Donor

    “What’s going on with you two? Twenty years of love, it’s not something you just throw away.” Sophia Green frowns at Ava, an omen feeling in her heart. She doesn’t want Mary to be right about the Fullers, but now she is afraid that Mary just might be.Ava opens her mouth, really lost this time.What’s going on? Didn’t Sophia Green wanted her for Scott? She is the closest woman at age for this marriage, and her family, while not as rich as the Green, but who is? So why is Sophia Green looking so upset at her?“Ava, you are married...” In the end, Sophia Green doesn’t want to be too harsh. What she couldn’t ask out loud is--How could you even assume that I would marry you to Scott? You don’t even know him. Are you all about the money, just like everyone else?If there is one thing Sophia Green never doubted, it was Ava’s love for Sebastian.She watched these two kids growing up under her nose.After her husband died, Mary stopped having time for Christmas with her, but she sent Sebasti

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   331 Public Humiliation

    Sophia Green shoots Scar a strict glare. Didn’t Mary say that her dear “granddaughter” would go along with this plan? Why is she so surprised?!Ava glances at Scar, letting out a polite, understanding chuckle, “Granny, that was the worst time to say the wrong name. I understand why Scar would be surprised.”Rarely, Scar doesn’t retort. She barely heard Ava’s gibberish when all her mind was on the name Sophia Green just said--Emma. Her daughter’s name was Emma Green.Panicking and shocked, Scar freezes where she is. It’s just a weird coincidence, right? That the daughter of Sophia Green, the one who ran away and fell apart with her, also happens to be another Emma Green?Sebastian walks toward her, but Scott beats him to it.“Sorry,” Scott takes Scar’s hand for a kiss on its back, gentleman like, “I kept the announcement today a secret for her, and that’s why my fiancee is a little surprised. Right, Scar?”Scar nods numbly, letting Scott lead her to the side as she hides her eyes from

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   330 Bomb Announced

    She can have it.She just needs to deal with the announcement delicately today. She needs to look flattered at Lady Green’s decision, sad about her cold marriage, yet hopeful to make things work with Sebastian, if she could.So if things don’t work out with Sebastian as she planned, she could always complain to Sophia Green about how she tried her best with her marriage, paint Sebastian as the one who wronged her, and get Scott and the title of queen of the Green that comes with.Easy plan. She has been doing that her whole life -- she has been “Sebastian’s girl” her whole life, while she collected the rich boys like fire gulping moths.She is practiced with that skill by now.The key is not to give them what they want. That’s Scar’s problem. Ava restrains her muscles so she won’t laugh out loud. She witnessed how Scar pursued Sebastian from day one.Scar wanted to give him everything she had, all at once. Scar would try to find out what Sebastian liked and what he would be interested

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   329 Her Obsession

    Lady Green is not in the lobby. She chose a more private room, having doubts about Mary Knight’s suggestion.Scarlett Fuller for Scott Green? She doesn’t like that adopted girl, even at Mary’s voucher. That girl in her memory is selfish, ungrateful and a bully, unlike Ava. She has to admit though, after meeting her properly at Mary’s place, the detest softened a little.Still, that doesn’t make her worthy to be the queen of the Green Empire. Sophia agreed to do this, only to prove Mary wrong, not the other way.Mary suggested that the death of Elijah’s firstborn has more behind it. This, is Sophia’s real purpose. Elijah’s current wife, Emily, comes from another rich family. She is well educated, loyal to family and smart, way better than Scott’s nobody mother. Sophia made sure that Elijah obeyed her. She knew Elijah wouldn’t be able to take the crown, and she had been nurturing Elijah and Emily’s first and only son, Jason, into the heir she wanted.Then all of a sudden, the kid died i

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   328 Best Sister In The World

    “You slept with her?!” Scar shouts, and instantly Damian covers her mouth, glancing around in panic.Lilith is not around. Thanks to Ava, no one is near this room.“But why does she hate you so much? You--you didn’t!” Scar pushes Damian away, “Don’t tell me you forced her!”“Of course not!” Damian protests with a wronged look, “What a horrible monster do you think I am???”“A monster who talks about murdering his own sister with his friends like it was about the weather,” Sarcasm attacking, Scar rolls her eyes with her arms folded in front of her, “Considering you just let Lilith take care of Alice alone for five years? My judgment on you might be too kind!”“I didn’t let her! Actually, I didn’t know she was pregnant when she left,” Damian appeals after Scar as
