170 The Worst Lead
Scarlett’s POV
I just need a no from him.
I don’t care if I would have to go anyway. I don’t care if deep inside his heart, he still can’t just let Ava die. I just need him to tell me that he is on my side. I don’t know how to lower my expectations lower than NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
that.
Hesitating for a long moment, Sebastian asks: “If it weren’t for me, would you have been a friendly pair of sisters?”
Is it so hard to choose me?
Ava Fuller has her loving parents, her real brother AND a fake brother looking out for her! Even as fragile as she is, would she die if you, Sebastian Knight, say that you don’t want your wife to sacrifice for her? Our blood is rare, it’s not extinct!
I look at him with disappointment filling up my chest. My decision to try it with him feels so stupid that my ears turn red.
“Please, go and attend to her,” I tell him, hearing my voice icy cold. All I can do is control my tremble enough to hide the crying tone, “I don’t want to be seen as a freaking bully before of her again!”
Damian Vanderbilt clicks his tongue at my words, but my fear of him is outweighed when anger is having its moment. Before any of them can stop me, I turn and dash off.
I have better things to do than talk about saving the one person who treats me the worst on this earth!
The whole dancing floor is full and crowded. I have to maneuver my way to the bar, only to spot Lilith. laughing with a handsome bartender. Before I could even try to hide, she spots me.
“Scar!” Lilith exclaims in excitement, “Oh My God, I can’t believe it!”
Huh. I walk over in hesitation. She certainly doesn’t look like a person doing something she hates for a huge debt.
“What are you doing here?” I squeeze to the front and Lilith comes to me, “You are a bartender now?”
“Yeah!” Lilith grins at me, and I feel so happy and relaxed seeing her bright, genuine smile. It’s the cleanest thing in the world. “This place has one of my favorite cocktails, created by this master of alcohol!” She points at the cute bartender with both her hands and that boy flushes.
“Okay…?” I frown in confusion, “So now you want to be a bartender–?” Isn’t her dream of being a lawyer?
“Not really, haha,” Lilith laughs with the cute bartender, “I’m here to help out on the rush hour, in exchange for his recipe! He has been teaching me how to make it. Do you want to try it? Ohh, you can’t drink–”
Just this moment, a few guys in black suits squeeze up to me, surrounding me in the center. The leader looks like a murderer on the run with an obvious scar under one of his eyes, and he bow’s lightly to me: Miss Scarlett, I’m here on behalf of your father. He needs you at the hospital.”
That was fast, even for Jack Fuller. Did he plant a tracker on me?

“I’m not going,” I pretend to be calm, but it’s actually quite intimidating to be stared down by four bulky guys. I don’t know these guys. Jack Fuller not sending his own bodyguards can only mean one thing–
He is serious about it, and these guys won’t hold back on me.
Lilith comes out of the bar, squeezing to my side with a warning tone at that guy: “You don’t have the right to demand that from her. Not even her father. Please, back away.”
I know Lilith is a good fighter, but they have four guys. I wanted to call Sebastian over, but I realized I had left my purse at Oliver Scott’s table.
The guy ignores Lilith — obviously, I have no chance against them, and Lilith is even smaller than me.

“Lil, don’t piss them off,” I whisper to her, only to realize that she is nervous too with her body stiff, Sebastian is here…hopefully still. He is with the guy who gave you that dress, Damian Vanderbilt. You go and tell him to come find me–”
Her body suddenly relaxes.
“Scar, if you still want to keep the baby, then follow my lead,” Lilith whispers back.
What lead???
Lilith suddenly shoots a heavy kick on the leader. Didn’t expect any resistance from us, he takes the kick with his body and backs away for several steps. Lilith grabs the arm of the guy next to him, making way for me: “Run and get him!”
I don’t want to leave her! I want to scream, but I’m no help here, and she is doing this for me and the baby and I can’t afford to waste her sacrifice either! Ahh!
