318 The Old Fox

It took Lilith 10 minutes to get out of the rope. Luckily, it wasn’t tied too tightly without any room. Luckily, she has a police brother who teaches her all kinds of self-rescue skills.But she couldn’t open the door.They locked her in a remote closet. Though she tried shouting, nobody answered.Her only chance, is her phone.The phone Sebastian took and gave to Ava was Scar’s. If he had recognized it, it would be really bad. But now, Lilith has seen his true color, has known their evil plan, and most of all, she could get the message out.Except not Scar.Between calling her brother and dialing 911 directly, Lilith chose the former. No answer. It’s weird because Damon usually keeps his phone on 24 hours, and he never ignores his alerts -- call that a policeman’s vigilance.Lilith doesn’t have time to wonder about Damon’s absence.She dials 911 the next, but the person laughed when she said there is going to be a rape in the Hilton House, warning her that false reporting is a crime.

319 Throw A Punch

Lilith bites her lips.Her doubt about this man is growing by the day, but she didn’t know he saw it all. It’s not like he ever did anything to hurt Scar, on the surface. But all the mysterious mist around him is raising too many alarms to ignore.“You said you care about Scar, and your medical team keeps saying that she needs to establish healthy connections with people, but how is it healthy when you are getting her to rely on you more and more without even knowing who you are?” Lilith demands.“A legit worry,” Silco doesn’t seem to be offended, but his questions are sharp like knives, “Does Sebastian Knight share this worry?”Lilith opens her mouth, taken aback. She doesn’t want to admit it, but it’s really hard to lie, especially to succeed in front of this old fox.The man on the other side laughs again.“Did he reach out to you, or was it the other way around?” He suddenly asks, and Lilith feels the desperation when she realizes--This man saw through everything.At that moment,

320 Drink Her Poison

Scar didn’t take the wine.As if Sebastian “happens” to find her in a room that only Anna Fuller should know that she is in, he showed up with a cup of wine that he insisted that her drink? No, thanks. Even if he wasn’t Ava’s minion before, he surely looks like one now.“Did Ava send you here to do the job she failed to do five years ago?” Scar snorts coldly.“She told me where you are, yes,” Sebastian admits plainly, to Scar’s surprise. “I know you hate Ava, but it wasn’t her five years ago. Don’t you want to know who it really was? You can lock Ava up, but it means someone who wants you harmed is still out there.”“One less, at least,” Scar snorts.The man laughs, picks up a cup and takes a sip of it. Scar watches with cold eyes. If he thinks this can prove that the wines are okay, he thinks too simply of her!“Would you like this one? Seeing that I’m still alive?” As if heard what she was thinking, the man taunts her, handing the drink he just tasted. His eyes were laughing, as if

321 No Other Choice

In the end, the wine cups were emptied, and Scar didn’t get to taste a drop.“I need to go,” Sebastian says, huge drops of sweat rolling off his forehead and disappearing into his collar, “lock the door and wait inside. Nothing would happen to you.”“And if it does, am I supposed to hold you responsible afterwards?!” Scar sneers coldly, watching the man’s face turn one grade more pale.“Would you rather have me tie you up?” Saying threatening words, but the man looks like he could barely walk, let alone subdue her with force.She knew he couldn’t handle his liquor. But just two cups of wine?Her lips curved, Scar pulls open her collar a little, teasing the man as she hides the photo under her bra. She doesn’t miss the man’s throat rolling at her move, and his losing focus eyes nailed on her. In those eyes is not dirty lust, but some kind of clean, devout desire.“Don’t test me...” The man mumbles, “I was never good at self-control when it comes to you.”“Make me,” Scar taunts, smiling

322 Mr. Vanderbilt

Ava came.Lying on the bed, Scar could hear the high heels in the hallway. Reluctantly, she recognized the nightmare of her childhood – Ava’s steps.Ava didn’t come in. She talked to Sebastian, who apparently was guarding the door.“You really got her to drink it?!” Ava cheered like an excited bird, “She’s in there?”“Where else?” Sebastian answers impatiently, “Where is my payment?”Scar would have torn him into pieces even with just her teeth if she could. She couldn’t. She couldn’t even break free from his damn tie, let alone getting her unlikely revenge. All she could do was shout, but that never worked for her before.Scar eyed the window.Not too far away, and not too high above the ground.“I changed my mind,” Ava said in her iconic sweet voice, “I would give up the heir of the Green family, Sebastian, for you.”Ava stressed his name, unnecessarily loud.“She is out cold, so no one can hear you,” Sebastian snorted at Ava coldly, pointing out her little trick.Scar is really not

323 Bolt Of A Gun

Meters away, Scar holds her breath subconsciously, worried the two men outside the door might hear her. They can’t. She is just too nervous with a million questions blowing up in her mind.Silco is…Johnny Vanderbilt?There was a moment where she actually did suspect this possibility, but Silco was on the auction when Vanderbilt also showed up…Wait. They both showed up, but never at the same time.Could it be?“What’s that?” It’s Johnny Vanderbilt’s polite but cold voice, with a hint of perfect confusion.At this moment, Scar wants so badly to sneak over and peek at Johnny Vanderbilt. If he is really the man she has been living with, she would know. But even if there is a peephole on the door, she wouldn’t dare for fear of tipping them off.She stands there and listens, quietly.“You want to start with playing dumb? Sure,” Sebastian’s voice sounds hoarse, as if he just ran a ten-kilo. “May I ask why you just knocked out three of the Green’s guests then?”“Personal vendetta,” Johnny Va

324 Her Knight

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

325 Be Careful What You Wish For

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

326 Love Birds

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

327 Forgive And Forget

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
