Inside Hilary's bedroom, she excitedly threw open the doors to her massive walk-in closet."Master, pick anything you like!"Scarlett casually reached for a pink strapless gown layered with tulle, then immediately put it back.Too girly.Hilary caught on instantly and pulled out another dress-a pale blue evening gown with a sleek, elegant silhouette."This one's prettier," she said quickly. "My grandmother gave it to me for my birthday. I haven't even worn it yet. It's a limited edition-there are only three in the world."Scarlett gave it a brief glance before nodding."This works."Hilary brightened immediately."Master, let me help you change-""No need." Scarlett took the dress from her calmly. "I can handle it myself."Hilary reluctantly left the room, clearly disappointed she couldn't help.After showering, Scarlett changed into the gown and dried her hair.She had just picked up a ribbon to tie it back when movem

The moment His Excellency spoke, both Mr. Houston and Mr. Lincoln nearly buckled at the knees.The color drained from their faces.Meanwhile, Cara and Elisa stood frozen in place like terrified statues, not daring to move a muscle.After all, this entire disaster had started because of them.Originally, they had only wanted to publicly humiliate Scarlett by ripping her dress apart.Who could have imagined things would spiral this badly?In the eyes of the two family heads, His Excellency's anger was most likely because tonight was Hilary's coming-of-age banquet, yet Cara and Elisa had chosen this exact moment to cause a scene.And at the center of it all... was Scarlett.If they wanted to salvage the situation, they could only start with her.The two patriarchs exchanged a glance. One look was enough."Miss Scarlett," Mr. Houston said first, lowering his pride without hesitation, "we sincerely apologize. We failed to discipline our d

When Scarlett woke up again, she found herself back at the Cross family villa.She was lying in Theron's bed."You're awake."Hearing the man's low voice, Scarlett turned her head slightly.Theron was sitting beside the bed.He was still wearing yesterday's clothes.His usually immaculate hair had become slightly messy, a few loose strands falling over his forehead.Rather than ruining his appearance, the disheveled look only made him even more dangerously attractive."You stayed here all night?" Scarlett asked as she slowly pushed herself upright."You had a high fever last night," Theron replied calmly. "The doctor said it might spike again during the night, so I stayed to take care of you."As he spoke, he reached over and touched her forehead gently."The fever's gone now."The moment his hand touched her skin, Scarlett suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken slightly.Even her forehead felt strangely hot."I need

Pain.Even in her sleep, Scarlett felt like her body was being torn apart.Her brows twisted tightly together as cold sweat covered her forehead.Theron sat beside the bed, carefully wiping away the sweat with a warm towel.His handsome face was filled with undisguised heartache.Scarlett was dreaming.Fragments of the past blurred together chaotically in her mind.Five years ago...Someone had secretly drugged her.She remembered feeling unbearably hot and weak, trapped alone in a locked room.By the time she finally escaped, a hand suddenly grabbed her and dragged her into another room.Her vision had been blurry from the fever and drugs.The last bit of consciousness told her-it should have been James.After all, he was the one who had asked her to meet him there.She remembered being thrown onto the bed roughly.After that...everything became unclear.When she woke up the next morning, he

"Michael!"Scarlett's heart skipped violently.The signal was unstable, so she immediately switched the call to speaker mode."Sis... I...""Michael!"A sharp female voice suddenly exploded through the phone."You actually hid a phone from me?! Give it here!""Don't... please..."Michael's weak voice trembled helplessly.Then came the sound of struggling-followed by a loud thud.Sadie had snatched the phone away."You've gotten pretty bold lately, huh?" she sneered coldly. "You don't call me sister anymore, but you call Scarlett 'sis' instead?""What did she give you? I'm your real sister!"On the other side, Michael lay curled up on the floor, his face deathly pale.He hadn't eaten properly for two days.He barely even had the strength to move anymore."You're not...""...not my sister..."His voice was weak, but stubborn."You're... a bad woman..."Sadie's expression twisted i
