Semua Bab She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked: Bab 311 - Bab 320

Scar arrives at the party together with Lilith, fashionably late.If she was nervous about being a spy for the first time, that nervousness has doubled with Lilith by her side—“Since when are you interested in this kind of event?? I don’t know if I can keep an eye on you all that well…” Scar hisses at Lilith when she pauses at the grand gate of the Hilton House, which, in her eyes now, is nothing short of a bloody evil nest.Lilith is as nervous as Scar is, only for a different reason: “Why are YOU so nervous about this? I thought you went to these kinds of events all your life!”Ughhh! The two girls both grunt in their minds, for different reasons.Scar needs to look out for arrows from the dark, which could come from any direction, and Lilith…Well, she needs to shoot one, at the most dangerous target no less.Lilith’s phone beeps and she almost jumps up when Scar looks over as she covers her phone to her chest.“What?” Scar lets out a taunting laugh at Lilith’s reaction, “Our littl

“Got the phone?” Sebastian asks.Smirking, Ava swings Scar’s phone happily at Lilith, who is sitting on the floor of a small closet. Her hands are tied behind her back, a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth. “I don’t think she would be able to get out of your knot. Do you think I could leave the phone in the room with her, just a taunt?” Ava asks.The man shoots Ava a weird glance, “Is that why we crime? To challenge ourselves?”Ava grains her teeth, nervously waiting for his answer, but hearing it, she laughs. No, the crime is to ruin Scarlett Fuller.“Just trying to save a trip back to the crime scene,” Ava grins at him, landing her chin on his chest coquettishly.The man lets out a cold snort, pushing her up but Ava won’t oblige. He stops, looking down into her eyes.“I want a kiss,” Ava pouts her shiny lips.Sebastian turns slightly, his eyes landing on Lilith. This is it, the moment of truth. If he kisses Ava--“Sure, I don’t mind,” Says the man.Lilith’s pupils shrink at the sho

The man grabs her wrist. He is not pulling her away, but his power stops her from closing her claw, easily. Ava sighs, looking up in her watery deer eyes. She is not faking this time. She can’t resist power. She can’t resist this man who could dominate in any situation.“You are enjoying this?” The man lets out a surprised laugh, looking down at her innocent-looking face. Finally, for the first time this night, there appears a light in his eyes indicating that he is still alive and...almost interested in her.“Of course...” Ava bites her lips, making her voice almost coy, “I have always wanted to give myself to you. I am your wife, you know?”The man suddenly turns, pressing Ava into the wall with her wrist nailed by her ear, no longer on him, “I thought you meant you were enjoying the fact that you can finally take off the innocent mask you have been wearing all these years.”Actually, yes.It’s a lightness Ava never dared to even dream of having. No one likes the burden of wearing a

“The Scarlett I met in those woods, was powerful enough to own my heart, to force me to overlook so many suspicious action from you when I thought you were her. That’s why you could have fooled me all these years,” The man shakes his head, sitting down on the chair, “You never had her kindness, and you never had her strong will. If it was Scar who is dealing with me right now, she wouldn’t jump back and forth between using me and suspecting me.”“Ohh, really?!” Ava snaps angrily, “Then why are you here with me, scheming to condamn her to hell then?!”“Because neither you nor her is that girl I saved years ago anymore. So go ahead and do whatever you see fit. I just want to get rid of this shitty part of my life, as soon as possible.” The man says with a faint annoyance in his voice.His words are like poisonous arrows, piercing through Ava’s heart one after another. She knew heartache was never a figure of speech, but a physical pain that twists her chest. After all, she has been suff

A small car was wedged beneath a tanker truck. The car was clearly totaled, with debris scattered across the highway. The tanker’s cab had twisted at a ninety-degree angle from its trailer—evidently, the driver had tried to avoid the crash but failed. The tanker driver hung halfway out of the door, unconscious.The car had struck the tanker from the driver’s side—perhaps in a panicked miscalculation, the driver had instinctively turned their own side into the collision. The photo didn’t reveal the driver’s condition, only showing a man standing by the passenger door, head bowed, arms outstretched as if trying to lift something — or someone.Jack Fuller.Even with his head low in his chest, Scar recognizes him instantly without a doubt.Then it becomes clear why Emma turned her own side into the trunk -- Scar was on the passenger's seat, and she was what Jack Fuller reached out for. Jack Fuller took Scar from Emma Vanderbilt after her car accident. Scar knew that by now. Still, seeing
