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 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
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
