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
“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
Scar didn’t understand before, but now she does--When she threatened to call the police, Sebastian DID know that she didn’t have her phone on her. What's more, he knew because he took that phone from Lilith! If he locked up Lilith just to lure Silco out, then why leave Lilith’s phone still with her? From what it looked like, Silco had his own man monitoring Scar.“He knew? No, it can’t be...” Lilith objects, “He was WITH Ava and almost kissed her! He said he would drug you and destroy you!”“How did you find me?” Scar suddenly asks. Lilith didn’t see Sebastian when she barged in.Lilith darts a sharp glare at Damian, who instantly raises his hands to surrender: “I have no idea what’s going on. I just got a text from Sebastian, saying that Scar might be in this room.”“Your secret source was Sebastian?!” Lilith exclaims. Damian didn’t tell her. In fact, Damian said he wasn’t even 100% sure that Scar would be there.“I know you don’t like him, so...” Damian explains with a cautious ton
Scar would rather the bed swallow her whole than go out and deal with all the drama in her life. But when does she ever get her wish?Not a couple of minutes after Johnny Vanderbilt and Sebastian left the room, the door was barged open again. Scar jerks up in bed and curls up nervously, worrying that the guys Ava planted came back.It’s Lilith.“Where have you been!” Exclaimed Scar, relievedly. She is so happy to see a friendly face at the moment that she didn’t even notice the man following Lilith until he started talking--“Who did this to you?!”Scar opens her eyes wide, staring at him: “Damian?!” She darts her eyes between him and Lilith, who just keeps her head low almost into the ground as she tries to untie Scar, as if she didn’t hear Scar’s exclamation.“That’s my line!” Sca
Silco -- well, Johnny Vanderbilt now -- IS the most powerful enemy Sebastian has ever faced.Silco built such a fortress around him and Scar, that none of the usual methods could approach them. Sebastian went to Ava to push them to make a move on Scar, because Silco always seemed to have a good source on what Sebastian was doing, and if Sebastian used his own people to pretend to hurt Scar, Silco wouldn’t fall for it. He needed the danger Scar fell into to be as real as it could be.Then it’s all about luring Silco out.Sebastian suspected that Silco was Johnny Vanderbilt. That man has the power and resources needed, just not a motive. To test this theory, Sebastian chose the Greens for his test--Romor is, The Green Lady hates the Vanderbilts.This is the one place Johnny Vanderbilt couldn’t easily plant his people. Without people protecting Scar nearby, and without sources to notify him of Scar’s situation, Silco had to come, using his real identity to get into the door, and save Sc
Scar didn’t charge out. She couldn’t even if she wanted to. Sebastian locked the door when he left. A shout from her would help more than trying to get out in time. On second thought, she should have just shouted. But she didn’t.Because Sebastian beat her to it--“You won’t use it here, and you know it, too,” He said to Johnny Vanderbilt. She could even hear the smirk in his voice. Magically, she just calmed down the moment she heard him.That’s his negotiation table voice, the voice that has never lost even once ever. The voice that shows absolute control. She doesn’t want to, but she is nonetheless assured by his voice.“Next time when you try to call bluff, don’t be so hasty,” Johnny Vanderbilt snorts coldly, “it just shows what a coward you are.”No. Sebastian didn’t say that fast out of hast
