Scott left Scar in the room after that line, and taking her time, Scar only went back to the party after a few minutes to calm herself.Sebastian was waiting for her by the door.“How’s the catching up?” He follows up when Scar leaves after a careless glance at him.“Do you have a problem with that?” Scar wheels on him, frowning.Sebastian laughs. He tilts his head a little, curvy eyes filled with a happy glistering. Time left its trace on the man’s face, leaving slight wrinkles as the tail of his soulful eyes, but also sharpened his sharp jaw. He is no longer the boy she once admired, nor the young billionaire that occupies the silly little girls’ dreams.He is a man now. One that has weight over his shoulder, and a story behind those deep eyes. He is no longer the reckless head who didn’t know how to tell a person, or the husband so spoiled by love that he couldn’t recognize it.He knows his heart now, and the deep love twirling in his chest, he contains them well behind those calm

Scar’s head goes empty for a second.What the hell did he just say?!For this whole time she thought Jack Fuller had something to do with her mom’s death. The least, he witnessed it and didn’t help, watched Emma die and took her home. Scar has been looking into that car accident with Silco’s resources for a long time now. Not to mention, that resource was a considerable one.Nothing.She couldn’t find any evidence putting Jack Fuller near that car accident, and she thought it was time to erase all the traces. Plus, Jack Fuller must have tried to cover his track, too.But if what Sebastian is telling her is real…“How did you know?! Do you have evidence?!! How long have you known about it and did you hide it from me just so--?!” Scar blows up into a string of questions like a machine gun.Ding, ding, ding!A piercing clink of glass bursts out, pulling Scar to a sudden halt when her intuition felt all the eyes turning toward her even before she could realize why.Then she sees why—The

Every year’s Christmas, Anna Fuller would take Ava for a “family” visit, where Jack Fuller wouldn’t go. Something about how her family didn’t approve of her marrying down to him. And Scar would be left with Jack Fuller, in the name of keeping it even between parents and children.If that was the real reason, then Anna wouldn’t have taken Gabrial with her, too.Scar thought it was because Ava didn’t like her. But now she knows the real reason behind it—From how Anna and Ava are sucking up to the Green Lady, of course they wouldn’t want Scar to have any chance to even meet someone this powerful. As Anna’s daughter no less.What if the Green Lady grows to like Scar, right? Then there would be someone who actually treats Scar well in the “family”. God forbids.As much as Scar tries to tell herself that the Green Lady hates her because of years of lies fed to her by the Fullers, she finds it getting harder and harder to stay rational about this old lady when she shows little good judgment

The Green Lady turns around, pushing Anna Fuller’s arm away like a bulldog in the ring, and discreetly, Sebastian steps up with a bright grin, blocking Scar from her.“She refused to come today just because I invited you! I didn’t think she would actually do it but she did!” The Green Lady forgets about Scar already, “What a big deal could keep her from even talking to her so well-behaving grandson for years?!”Even Sebastian pauses for a second—Didn’t she do the same thing to her own daughter, too? She didn’t even come to Emma Vanderbilt’s funeral. Actually, no one in the family came, on her command apparently.Her words pause Scar’s anger for a second, too—For years? She thought Granny kicked Sebastian out as a show of attitude, partly to give him a chance to challenge himself without the Knight’s name paving his way. But she didn’t think Granny would actually not talk to him for years.Of all the people who ever cared for her, Scar feels guilty only to Granny.She has never seen

Scar is seriously considering it now.She can’t sue them if they just witnessed a car accident, no matter how horrible it is to watch a mom die while taking her baby from her side. They could -- they would, Scar is sure -- claim that Emma begged them to save her baby. In fact, that was Jack Fuller’s first version of the “truth”, when Scar tried to find her own family.But if they were involved in the car accident? She might be able to sue them! Given that IF Scar can prove it, within the deadline of prosecution.How long is it for a hit and run? Scar is not sure.“Tell me what happened then,” Scar demands, but she wouldn’t budge even though the Green Lady is getting suspicious as her eagle eyes dart over at their whispering.“Don’t push it!” Anna Fuller warns.The Green Lady stares at Scar with suspicious eyes, and so is everyone who’s been waiting for Sophia Green’s announcement. No time to hesitate, but can she trust Anna Fuller again? The woman who has been a liar, the best liar in
