She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 094 Scarlett Knight
Sebastian’s POV“Mr. Fuller?” The doctor comes in with a stack of files, and I stand up.“Uhh, no...The name is Knight, Sebastian Knight,” I frown, reaching out for Scar’s test result that the doctor went to get for me, “Scar...Scarlett Fuller is my wife.”She doesn’t even use my name anymore? I know she changed it on the official papers but...I never called her Mrs. Knight, like how she wanted.With a frown, the doctor looks at me suspiciously from above his glasses, hesitating.“I can prove it, I have got my my marriage certificate at home,” Which I don’t know where it is, I rub my hair in frustration. I don’t like being reminded how I lost her in every little detail, “I just want to know if she’s okay, that’s all.”“She...” The doctor’s frowning gets deeper.“You are not her husband anymore!” Just when the doctor opens his mouth, Adrian strides in with a cold tone, “Doctor, Miss Fuller doesn’t want her information to be shared, especially with her EX-husband.”The word “EX” stings

Sebastian’s POV“Scar, ” I take her arm gently and she instantly swings me off, “I--”She glares at me, waiting impatiently.Seeing her cold eyes hurts. Pain grabs my chest, but I’m hopeless and powerless in front of such pain. There is nothing I can do. I can barely recognize the girl who once had the brightest smile toward me.She knows I left Ava in the hospital to come here, and before when I did that for her, her whole face would light up, and her beautiful eyes would curve into crescents as she hung herself on my arms, smiling sneakily like a little fox.But now she doesn’t even look at me.“I...” I open my mouth, but all the words that I wanted to tell her, suddenly disappear, “I...” I can’t find anything to say.Scar rolls her eyes, and turns to leave.“I’ll give you what you want!” I blurt, knowing it’s the only thing I can say to stop her from leaving, “I will sign the divorce papers...if that's what you REALLY want.”Scar stops, turns around, looks at me before her eyes dar

Scarlett’s POVBumping into Sebastian was a surprise. I couldn’t imagine anything would be able to pull him away from Ava, especially when she is really hurt this time. He looked like he had something to say, but in the end, he seemed to have changed his mind to a meaningless question.I don’t know how to answer, and frankly speaking, I don’t think he was waiting for a legit answer.When did he lose me? The past months where he made Ava’s hospital his one and only home? The true love’s kiss he shared with his beloved princess? All the neglection over the years, the mocking and cold snorts? Or our wedding night he spent with Ava?Or maybe, he already lost me the second day he saved me, when he took the princess as the little dragon he saved.I guess I knew the marriage was dead way before this. It died in one of those long, lonely nights when I sat in our bed, imagining my husband being on another woman’s bed. I just thought maybe I could hang on for just a little bit, and he would com

Scarlett’s POV“North Dakota?” Adrian shoots over a surprised look, asking as we head to the parking lot, “That’s far from here. How did know your real parents are there?”The doctor was Adrian’s acquaintance, and at his promise, we left the doctor’s office feeling safe about my secret. I feel bad about hiding this from Sebastian, but before I’m sure I can protect my baby from them, I can’t risk letting any of my “family” know about the baby.Adrain is the third of the only three people that I can trust my secret with.I briefly explained to him about my situation and how Jack Fuller always managed to find me in my earlier attempts to run away from “home”.It started with the time when Sebastian found me in the woods. I just made my first “friend” at that time, and he promised he could help me run away if “you hate your home that much”. He led me into the woods and after a few turns he left me there alone. I didn’t know how to get out, and I didn’t know how to get back home either.La

Scarlett’s POVIs there a kinder soul in this world? I look at Adrian, envying Aurora secretly because she is being loved by such a good person.But I can’t. “I want to be your friend, Adrian Dunn,” I shake my head, feeling pity in my chest, “So I can’t be such a burden to you. You understand, don’t you?”Adrian looks at me plaintively. He understands, I know. Talking to him has been so easy.“You are insulting me by implying that it takes a lot of me to protect just one girl,” Adrian says half-jokingly, “I can’t protect you well if you leave, especially to a place that far away. But here I can promise that they can’t get another drop of blood of yours if you don’t want them to.”That’s really sweet and generous, but I can’t put such a weight on Adrian. I feel guilty enough taking so much of his help as it is. Out of a misunderstanding no less. It’s not right.“I can take care of myself now,” I say as Adrian holds out his arm to block the elevator door for me. He definitely did that o

Scarlett’s POVAdrian remained silent as we settled into the car and drove out of the parking lot.I wonder if I had told him too much.I guess when someone has their partiality for you, then it becomes irresistible to pour out all the grief to them. I start to understand Ava better.But he is not mine. He is Aurora’s, and I’m on my way to finding my real family who I can cry to without a burden.I never wanted to admit this, but I envy Ava, a lot. I envy how she could be loved by so many, and be so capricious without a worry, when even trying my best, I couldn’t get a caring look from the same family and friends she has.Would my parents love me just as much as the Fullers love her?If I was born with such an awful disease but by the side of my real parents, would they also go all the way to buy a slave home just to make sure I would be safe? I don’t want them to be this evil, but I want everything else the Fullers gave Ava.I want a family that would care whether I was happy or sad,

Scarlett’s POV“I will make him pay!”Jack Fuller’s roar came out as my welcome right when I left the elevator. I didn’t even need to ask for directions for Ward 713.“He is already arrested, Daddy!” Ava giggles as the angel she is, “I totally called it when that girl jumped off that building! I guess apples don't fall far from the tree.”A moment of silence.“Anna, the reports should be out by now,” Jack Fuller suddenly says out of nowhere, and in panic, I slid into the room next to it. I wasn’t exactly eavesdropping, but now I’m guilty as hell.She passes my door soon after, and I close the door and put my ears against the wall shared with ward 713. Jack Fuller sent her out on purpose. What could he have to talk to Ava about that his own wife couldn’t hear?“Clean your social media about that girl,” Jack Fuller keeps his voice so low that I can barely hear him through the wall. At his strange command, I pull out my phone and search for Ava’s Faceb00k. Keeping my ear up, I start scro
Last Updated : 2024-09-11She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 101 Ava’s Fear
Scarlett’s POVI don’t think she is going to like what Ava has to say.I was surprised that Jack Fuller seemed to know Ava’s true color, but not for long. He has always been a calculating fox and I doubt he’d let anyone fool him, not even his own daughter.But I don’t think Mom knows about it at all. If she thinks Ava is her angelic tame daughter, then she really believes that. She is a devout believer. And as horrible as Jack Fuller might be, there is one thing I can’t deny of him -- he loves his wife.I guess I shouldn’t feel bad for Mom. I should envy her. She might know all the truth, but she is happy, living in the little illusional bubble where everything is kind, good, and alright. She doesn’t have to feel bad for keeping a little girl at home just to be her daughter’s blood vessel because her husband told her the little girl is an orphan who needed help; she doesn’t have to know that her own daughter broke the ugly truth to the orphan that she was adopted, because Jack Fuller

Prepared for this question, Scar answers unnecessarily fast: “I couldn’t risk anyone helping Ava to get MY Mom’s necklace. That’s why.”Her answer dims the pleasant light in Sebastian’s eyes.“I know…” Sebastian nods slowly, hiding the disappointment in his eyes, “But you didn’t have to come help because of that, did you?”Scar snorts coldly: “I’m doing this for Granny, not you.”“Granny kicked me out of the company for what happened five years ago,” Sebastian lets out a light laugh, “I’m pretty sure she would be the last one who would want you to help me right now.”Scar raises her eyebrows. She didn’t think Granny would be so cruel to Sebastian, but then again, there weren’t too many who could rip Sebastian’s title easily.“What did you tell her?” Scar frowns.Scar blamed Sebastian only because he trusted the wrong person. Legally, or any other aspect speaking, he wasn’t the killer five years ago. He just protected the killer was all. But Ava was never convicted, and Scar didn’t thi

“You want to meet early?” Scar glances at her phone to make sure the caller is indeed Damian, “Sure thing, but how early can dinner be?”She’s a bit surprised that Damian would move their dinner plan forward, but considering how he has been making effort to build a connection, she persuaded herself.“Authur, could you--?”“Yes, Miss Green,” Authur answers swiftly, “After you deliver the card, I will drive you right over.”Scar: “…”This time she’s really not trying to dodge that bullet! Didn’t he hear that it was Damian Vanderbilt who--… Whatever.Standing in front of Sebastian’s new building, Scar is still grumbling Silco’s name, along with his evil loyal driver, Author. Sebastian’s new building is not the same as before – the modern design of Z-house as its own symbol. This time it’s just a normal building, low-key to the extreme, considering its owner’s usual luxurious style.A sour wave washes Scar’s heart.Kind and gentle, Sebastian was never low-key. He was the shining prince of

“Why do I have to do it myself?!” Scar huffs, glaring at Silco.Sitting on the sofa casually with his legs crossed, Silco glances at Scar from above the papers he’s reading, amused. A moment ago the girl was crying in his arms, and now she’s like a kitten with her tail stomped on.“I can send Arthur over!” Scar pouts.“If you can command him,” Silco answers almost gently, but the laughter in his voice is not hidden at all.Scar rolls her eyes.“I’ll just--I--” Scar blurts, fidgeting around, “You already gave up on Sebastian’s company, so why are you making the one last step so hard for me?!”“Sorry, I didn’t think delivering a card to a fancy office building with a driver at your service all the time would be a horrifying chore,” Silco answers, still with that annoying smile.“You KNOW that’s not what I’m talking about!” Scar snaps angrily. If she had been grateful to this man with her full heart a moment ago, she is now annoyed 120%, “You can send anyone but me!”“I’m spending two bi

All the way home Scar feels like something stuffed in her chest. Over and over again she tells herself that she doesn’t care about Johnny Vanderbilt, but it doesn’t seem to work.A car seemed to have followed her for a while, but it was gone at the last turn.She lives in a house in the upper part of the town now, a community better and safer than the Fuller’s villa. Silco rented her this place, along with the guards. When she arrives, Silco is not yet home.Scar throws herself into the sofa, frustrated about Johnny Vanderbilt, and herself. Not only did she have to take all the garbage about him from Jack Fuller, but she also had to see with her own eyes that the man was not interested in making up with her. Not that she cares, but still, it doesn’t feel good.She is getting mixed information about that man.In Damian’s eyes he was a loving husband, a strict father who spoils his own daughter. But Emma left him for cheating, Anna was convinced that he was still into her, and from what
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 243 A Clear Message
With Ava and Jack Fuller hovering at the front door, Scar doesn’t even step out of the elevator, but just remains inside for the underground parking lot. She is so drowned in Damian’s words that she barely makes it out before the door closes on her—“You are a lot like Mom,”That’s what he said. Even now Scar’s heart is pumping fast at that. Is she? She doesn’t even remember being held in that woman’s arms. She doesn’t remember the home she briefly stayed in. She doesn’t even remember the car accident which should have left some impression even in her childish mind.But she grew up into a woman a lot like her angel-like mother?What did she blurt? She was so daunted in the face that she murmured: “I have always imagined her to be like one of those…”Elegant ladies. Those who would sit in a café at 3pm, watching out the window with 20-dollar-coffee in hand.“Like a lady, huh?” Damian grins, seeing through her easily, “Nahhhh. Far from it. Mom is cool, almost hippy like. She would drive
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 243 Dinner Plan
I got Mom’s necklace. Even when completing the process in the office after the auction, it still feels surreal. Anna Fuller’s appearance was unexpected, but what was the real surprise was how easily Johhny Vanderbilt gave up on the necklace in the end when I called my price.I can’t take the necklace away, not till the bank processes the deal. But I got all the papers the Fuller’s provided for its authenticity. Finally, the first step of my revenge, is grasped in my palm. The plan is to get the papers and send them to prison –Silco would freeze the card after I win the necklace, giving me exactly three days to prove the Fuller’s guilty on faking the files. I want Mom’s necklace, but I don’t plan on making that bloodsucking family billionaires by buying something originally mine from them.It’s them who have to pay.“So…” I turn to Damian, feeling a bit awkward. I have been really mean to him ever since I met him, and yet he came to my help today without hesitation. I’d be lying if I
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 242 Love & Hatred
The love-and-hatred show is still on as Scar and Damian quarrel. Johnny Vanderbilt would raise his plate instantly after the host announces Anna’s call or even faster, and Anna would pout, bite her lips, and glare over before she raises again. Her face is like a painting plate, changing color in seconds as if every one of his calls is like a bomb blowing up on her face.The phone call comes in at that moment--Anna’s phone rings, breaking the silence in the room, loud and clear. She glances at it with an indifferent face, not picking it up. But her hand hesitates to raise her plate again.“Who could be calling her?” Scar murmurs to Damian. All of Anna’s family is down there by her side. Her parents died years ago. So who could be so important to her that a phone call from him could hesitate her decision?Seeing all these, Johnny Vanderbilt suddenly raises his plate again, this time announcing himself: “Two billion.”Anna’s tears break out as her hand drapes powerlessly -- it’s not the
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 241 Engagement
Tears flow down Anna Fuller’s cheeks, the plate raised halfway in her hand is shaking hard because she was not expecting Johnny Vanderbilt to be so cruel to her—He knew she was going for the necklace, and he did not only bid for it, but actually gave her a price that told her to keep away from it.One billion. What a cold number.Jack Fuller didn’t want her to come. In fact, Jack Fuller didn’t tell her about the auction of the necklace. But she knew. She knows everything about Johnny Vanderbilt, the man who was supposed to be on the sacred altar with her. How could Jack Fuller expect her to not come?Ava is beyond excitement at Johnny Vanderbilt’s bid – to Ava, it’s just a number unnecessarily high for an item they stole with a reserve price low as 30 million. But whatever. Maybe the riches just like to brag about how much money they have. The more the better – for her.The item is listed under her name, and she takes the bigger part of the final price.Scar raises her plate in a has
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 240 Friend, Or Enemy
Scar didn’t think it would go this smoothly.She prepared several other reasons and actually rehersed in her head on her speech to persuade Damian, who known to be an ironwrist in the courtroom, shouldn’t be persuaded easily. But maybe just eager to maintain the peace with his long lost sister, Damian jumped on board without so much as a nudge.All parties are set, and now between Scar and the necklace, remains only “the last minute”.Everyone knows “once, twice, sold,” but few know that after the host announces the upset price, bidders have 60 seconds before the item is announced unsold. This time is called “the last minute” because it’s the most crucial battle between bidders—to decide, fake, trick, or hide their strategies over an item.You don’t want to show your cards too early too clearly. Some would wait for the last few seconds to call, and others use this time to feel out the bottom price from other bidders. Once the first call is announced, it’s a bloody war.Ava wants an un
