Lahat ng Kabanata ng She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked: Kabanata 341 - Kabanata 350

But instead of a friendly shake, the owner of that hand pulls Evens Moore right off his seat, slapping him with a cold warning: “You don’t know who she is? Evens Moore, star journalist of the Gossip Tongue. I still remember your ‘deep’ story trashing Scar five years ago. How shameless of you to come here and talk to her?!” Scar opens her eyes wide. She didn’t see that, nor Scott’s coming. “A man’s gotta eat,” Evens Moore grins without a shade of remorse when his lie was just exposed in front of the people he tried to lie to, “See you around then, former Mrs. Knight.” His level of shamelessness really impresses Scar. “Don’t mind him. Just a lousy paparazzi lives on sucking blood off other people’s life story,” Scott comforts Scar before he turns to Sebastian with a grunt. Scar didn’t know, but you sho

“What’s gotten into you?!” Scar blurts at Sebastian without thinking. Sebastian’s finger twitches when her voice rises, but he doesn’t give any other indication that he heard her. “He won’t talk to you, because I forbid it,” Ava says with a harmless smile, “He is the one who can’t leave me now.” Scar frowns. She turns to Scott for a shared concern, but Scott doesn’t seem to care or find Sebastian’s reaction curious. Scott shrugs carelessly, “What can I say? That man has a history of wanting things after he lost them.” It’s not that. “Now you miss being pursued by him?” Ava taunts, “You said you were over him, but at the end of the day, you just enjoy the satisfaction of having men at your feet as much as I do. And you are more of a hypocrite becau

Ava looks like she is at the peak of her life. The first dinner after the “luxurious guests” boarded lured everyone on the cruise to the dining hall. The jazz band is replaced by four cellists, and the buffet is changed into a high-end banquet. Elijia Green has his paralyzed mother in a wheelchair, two nurses by their side at their service. Emily Green is swimming in the crowd, one celebrity to the next, introducing Scott to all their distinguished friends. And Ava is tagging along. She was a socialite before all these, but never before did she have such a chance to join the real elites. She was the daughter of a middle-tier family, an actress, a girl whom Sebastian favored. But now, she is the queen-to-be of the Green family. Or so Emily Green is indicating. Sebastian is still sitting by himself in a dim corner, having little to no food in front of him. He is not lea

Not shooting a glance in Scar’s direction, the man walks over slowly before he sits down on the chair next to Ava. On a cruise, yet he wears a long pair of pants to hide his legs. His hair messy and his eye bags big and dark as if he hadn’t been sleeping in days. Though the man complied with Ava’s summons tamely, he is not using the sun chair to its original function, but to sit there with his fingers crossed each other to support his forehead, as if he barely has energy to be there.He looks tired. Extremely. His thumbs rub each other compulsively, but the man doesn’t even seem to notice.Scar couldn’t imagine why.“Scar was just asking about you,” Ava smiles to Sebastian, kicking him lightly on the waist with her scarlet painted toe, “She was wondering if--”“Huh,” The man lets out a low laugh, looking up at Ava as if Scar doesn’t even exist, “Really?”The cold sarcasm in his tone sounds…dead.There is not even a shred of doubt in his voice – he is saying he knows, plainly and firml

“First, we need to do damage control. Contact his legal team and clean up any related rumor online about any of these,” Scar never worked in the business world, but thanks to all the time she spend pestering Sebastian to talk about work so she could get him to talk to her during their marriage, she is familiar about how to handle issues like this more than she knew, “I’ll call Granny and feel out whether she knows about this. If not, then we try our best to keep it from her. As for the matter at hand, we need to figure out what Ava really wants and why he is complying with her so we can stop him from sinking deeper, and about getting him to quit…”That’s something only Sebastian can do, and even if he wants to, Scar is not sure if he could.Quitting drugs is one of the hardest challenges for any human being. People say that with a strong enough will, one can do anything, even quit addictions. But if it’s that simple, then it won’t be an “addiction”. It flips a switch in your brain, gi
