She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

All the way home Scar feels like something stuffed in her chest. Over and over again she tells herself that she doesn't care about Johnny Vanderbilt, but it doesn't seem to work.

A car seemed to have followed her for a while, but it was gone at the last turn.

She lives in a house in the upper part of the town now, a community better and safer than the Fuller's villa. Silco rented her this place, along with the guards. When she arrives, Silco is not yet home.noveldrama

Scar throws herself into the sofa, frustrated about Johnny Vanderbilt, and herself. Not only did she have to take all the garbage about him from Jack Fuller, but she also had to see with her own eyes that the man was not interested in making up with her. Not that she cares, but still, it doesn't feel good.

She is getting mixed information about that man.

In Damian's eyes he was a loving husband, a strict father who spoils his own daughter. But Emma left him for cheating, Anna was convinced that he was still into her, and from what she saw today, he was cold-hearted and cared about no one.

Just as well. After she puts Jack Fuller and Anna Fuller behind bars, after she rips Ava Fuller of everything she ever cared about, she will drive a car and roll over that vicious snake, for her lost baby. Then everything will be fair and square again. She doesn't plan to stay long enough to get to know that man.

"You are home early, princess," Silco knocks on the wall of the living room, as if he needs permission into his own house. He strides to the window casually, lifting the thin curtain with a finger to look out, checking something.

"What's wrong?" Scar frowns, and remembers the car that was following her.

"Hmm?" Silco turns around, shrugging, "Nothing. Looks like it's going to rain."

Scar throws a glance at the skylight. Thick clouds in the sky, but white ones only.

"So, did you get it?" Silco leaves the winder, a smile in his eyes, "I heard that they closed two deals at two billion today."

Scar looks up, and doesn't have time to put away her pout. But Silco doesn't comment on that.

"The file is on the table," Scar lifts her chin at the table, "it will put Ava Fuller behind bars for one to two years, if you can crack them within three days."

"At your command, princess," Silco takes off his hat for an exaggerated bow to tease her before he hands over that hat to the maid, along with his suit and his cane.

But not the mask. He is always with the mask, in front of everyone. Scar hates it, more today.

She longs for the warmth in his eyes, and she wonders if the mask would reveal more of those. She is in particular need of that today.

"Hey, I have got a piece of news that might interest you," The man waves a tablet at her, an evil smirk on the corner of his lips, "maybe this can cheer you up a little."

Scar looks over, and doesn't unfold herself as she curls up on the sofa with her arms around her knees.

"You sniped Sebastian's company?" She asks. The only thing he could show her was Sebastian's stock plummeting.

The man makes a pout with a confused look: "You don't seem too happy about that. I thought you said you were over him?"

She is. She is upset because Silco used her. And that's too stupid to utter. She doesn't even know him, and now so desperate, she's looking for warmth from him. As if he has any responsibility toward her!

Silco walks over, and sits down

beside her with one leg curled up on

the sofa so he would face her.

Between them on the sofa, he puts down the tablet lightly on the left, and then pulls out a card and puts it on the right.

"What?" Scar curls up more, staring at him like a wronged little animal, on guard, but also anticipating.

Silco smiles patiently, as if not seeing the distance she puts between them. With a gentle tone, he nods at the two things: "If you choose the tablet, I will crash company, but... in the card is two billion dollars. Choose the card, and you can go and save himTM

Scar opens her eyes wide in utter surprise, murmuring: "Why...?"

his

"Well, I mean," Silco shrugs with a grin, "Why would I want to make an enemy out of the heir of the Knight empire?"

That's totally alie! Sebastian is no

longer part of the Knight empire, and even if Granny would eventually take him back, that's not why Silco is doing this! He already made

Sebastian an enemy when he sniped

Sebastian!

He made this offer, because he saw her being unhappy.

Scar pushes away the two things and throws herself in Silco's arms, tears bursting out of her. Taken aback, Silco gently lands his hand on her hair, stroking it slowly. "You are okay now, princess. I have got you now..."
