She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 141 His Rejection
Scarlett’s POV“You found it on the ground?!” Ava hisses in shock. From the sound of it, she slips into the study and shuts the door, “I-I really lost the key?”“I’m sorry,” Sebastian says.The bitterness in his voice aches me. He hates lying, and now I forced him to lie, to someone he cares about no less. I’m owning him more and more.I stick my head out of my door to peek, just to see Ava’s minion Ethan pasting his ear on the study’s door. We scare each other, and we both pull our heads back.“But why are you here?” Ava demands with full suspicion, “You told me to meet you in the woods where you saved me.”Shit!I stick an airpod in my ear as I charge out of the door. I didn’t know what Lucas texted her, but I knew it was by the lake! Why didn’t I at least tell him that?! I need to warn him!“The woods?” Sebastian asks with a genuinely confused tone, “Did you misread the text? Is that why you didn’t come to the lake?”What?! I freeze in the hallway, staring into each other with Etha
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 142 The Venderbilt's Heir
Scarlett’s POVI have never seen him sad like this. Before when I have a fight with him for Ava, he usually just snorts coldly, or brushes it off. Never did he care so much that his whole voice was spilling out pain.His pain stings me.“Yes, very!” I say in a vicious tone, glaring back at him, “I’m sorry if you said that in exchange for a dead marriage, but you shouldn’t have done it if you think it’s not worth it!”“I didn’t say that,” Sebastian sighs, his voice tired and low, “I know I need to keep a distance from her, I just didn’t want to do it in a cruel way...”“I told you I stayed for blood, and I told you I tore the divorce papers just to torture your precious,” I feel my blood boiling in a cold fire, “I don’t care if you stay her knight in shining armor, just don’t come and ask me to join you! If you are putting her above every and any of your things, that’s your choice!”Not mine, and certainly not my baby’s!For a moment I really thought I could trust him with our baby. I g
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 143 The Jackpot
Damian’s POVThat’s my mom’s necklace.The one and only in the whole world.Mom died in a car crash twenty-some years ago, along with my baby sister. Or so they told us. But they never found my sister’s body. I mean, sure the car fell off a cliff and burned, and sure there might have been some wild animals. Even Mom’s body was not intact.But I never believed them. They all think I’m doing this because I blame myself. I do blame myself, and Mom’s death was on me. But that’s not the reason.A person doesn’t just disappear into thin air. Nor would a sapphire.And I’m looking at both of them right now, with my own eyes!“What are you doing?!” I grunt at Jack Fuller, only to realize it’s not my place to yell. Sure it’s his daughter -- well, adopted daughter -- but it doesn’t mean he has the right to do such a thing!“Who are you?” The old man frowns at me. Seriously, I barely meet people who doesn’t know their place in the world holding such wealth still. They usually perish fast.“Dad! T
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 144 The Mean Girl
Scarlett’s POVJack Fuller doesn’t like the mysterious man.Damian Vanderbilt. A name I have never heard of in my life. I mean, I know the name Vanderbilt. That family owns more wealth than a king, and they are low-key as they are rich. But this name has never had anything to do with the Fullers.I mean, why would they? The Fullers can barely make it to the top ten families in the city.But Jack Fuller, the man who sucks up to riches like Sebastian, doesn’t like Damian Vanderbilt. No, not dislike.Jack Fuller hates him, and... is a bit afraid of him. He looks at Damian Vanderbilt in the exact same way he used to look at me when I was little.It's a pure hatred for no good reason, and this hatred is deeply rooted in Jack Fuller.He called this man to his home, only to disrespect him to his face? And the oddest part is, Damian Vanderbilt doesn’t seem to be offended. A rare quality for people with his kind of social status.The tension between Jack Fuller and the mysterious stranger make
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 145 Damian’s Attention
Scarlett’s POV“You are leaving?”I look away reluctantly from Jack Fuller’s closed door when Sebastian’s voice raises. I look over, only to see Lucas standing by near us. My little suitcase was beside him.I have been moving around so much recently, even since I found out about the baby that day. The only thing feeling homey is that suitcase.“No, I’m not,” I dodge Sebastian’s eyes.He would try to get me to move back with him if I answered yes. I don’t want to waste time on such a talk.I wanted to move out because I had got everything I wanted from Jack Fuller. But now with Mom’s stuff almost within my reach, I can’t help my mind turning fast about how to get it. I want Mom’s necklace. I hate the fact that it’s on Ava’s neck, especially when I know it would be harder to get it from Jack Fuller now.“You are not a good liar,” Sebastian sighs with a bitter smile, seeing through me, “I know better than to force you. I just...” He frowns, lowering his eyelashes to hide the pain in his
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 146 My Lilith Grey
Scarlett’s POVDamian Vanderbilt cocks an eyebrow in obvious despise, nodding at me flirtatiously: “I admired your little speech, but you letting him put his hand on you so easily says more than your words.”What a jerk! What’s his problem?!!!I wanted to push Sebastian away, but I couldn’t quite pin down who I hated more at this moment: an arrogant tricked pitiful prey of Ava’s who just fell into her trap, or an arrogant tricked pitiful prey who claims to be out of Ava’s trap.“It’s none of your business!” I frown at Damian Vanderbilt as I throw away Sebastian’s hand. It’s not wise to piss off two bigshots at the same time, but since I’m already the enemy of the world, it doesn’t really make that much of a difference, “If one day you find yourself in a trap of a slut, it’s because you are a womanizer first!”Damian Vanderbilt’s look turns cold visibly, his tone dangerous: “Who are you calling a slut?”“Whoever turns out to be!” I snap at him.“Little girl--” Damian Vanderbilt narrows
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 147 Burn The Midnight Oil
Scarlett’s POVDamian Vanderbilt left with Oliver Scott. All I know is the name Grey, not even their car plates. So if I want to do anything, following them is my only chance.“Change of plan!” I drag Lucas out of there, “How’s your driving skill comparing to Adrian's?”“Basically the same,” Lucas frowns in confusion, “Enough to meet your needs. I know about your car sick situation--”“Can you do a car chase?” I cut him off, pointing at the car leaving the Fuller’s gate, “Follow that car!”We almost lost them in the middle. Well, actually we did. I don’t know who was driving in that car, but their driving style changed midway as they apparently noticed us following, and we lost them after they entered a tunnel. I don’t know where they came from, and I don’t know where they are going. I don’t even know whether it’s really my Lilith. But he is a lawyer and Lilith just got into a law firm. I can’t help but make that connection.“That’s not the same as Adrian at all!” I complain when thei
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 148 New World
Scarlett’s POVWhat does this question tell at all?“Well, yeah. She is a party girl,” I shrug, hesitating because I don’t see this answer helping, “Damon knows about that. She doesn’t need to hide from him if she is just--”There are several bars on this street AND in the nearby streets. It’s not helping us narrow down the range.“Yep, that makes sense,” Lucas nods, stopping the car when we are still far from the library, “The bars would be my bet if we didn’t follow our new friends here. BUT, Damian Vanderbilt sees her as his pet, meaning they are close, so he wouldn’t be finding it an interesting place for her to be if she’s in any of them. Luckily, you are here with me instead of Adrian--”He gets out of the car and I hurriedly follow him. No one is allowed to stop in the middle of a story and just up and leave! This is definitely his revenge on my complaints about his driving skills...He locks the car with the key as he walks up to a wooden door that looks so ordinary that I bare
