Awakened Housewife Ignore Betrayer's Begs (Scarlett) novel Chapter 737

After listening to Violet finish explaining everything, Damian finally understood what had happened.

Vincent had clearly turned against the Theron family, and now he was pressuring them because of Scarlett.

The realization only made Damian smile faintly as he looked at Violet and said, "Don't worry about it. Scarlett already means more to me than just a friend, so anything involving her family is my business too. I'll take care of it."

Violet shook her head gently, her smile calm. "I'm not telling you this because I want you picking a fight with Vincent for us. Honestly, compared to having money or a comfortable life, we care a lot more about Scarlett being happy. Back then, when she insisted on marrying Vincent, she cut contact with the family for years. Nathan never said much about it, but he was always quietly asking around to find out how she was doing. Once he realized she wasn't happy, he worried constantly, but there was nothing he could do about it."

She paused before continuing softly, "Now that Scarlett's finally made up her mind about getting divorced, Nathan's never going to let her go back there again. So no matter what Vincent does to us, none of us are backing down."

Damian listened carefully and remembered every word.

After a moment, he smiled at her again. "You should get some rest too."

Violet nodded. "Go stay with Scarlett."

Damian gave a small nod before heading upstairs after everyone else had gone to bed.

When he walked into Scarlett's room, he saw her leaning quietly against the headboard, lost in thought. The expression on her face made it obvious her mind was elsewhere.

Hearing him come in, she shifted slightly before looking over at him. "Aren't you heading home tonight?"

Just a little while ago, Diana had already told her what Vincent was doing to Nathan's company.

The second Vincent gave the order, every business partner who had worked with Nathan suddenly pulled away without hesitation.

And Scarlett understood exactly why.

It was because she had gotten too close to Damian.

The moment she asked that question, Damian already knew she had figured out the situation.

Instead of answering directly, he walked over and sat beside her bed. After tucking the blanket more securely around her shoulders, he looked at her with an easy smile and asked, "Do you really think your man can't handle something like this?"

His expression stayed relaxed, his eyes calm and warm without the slightest trace of panic.

Scarlett froze for a second before quickly shaking her head. "No, that's not what I meant. I just..."

Damian cut her off gently. "I told you before, no matter what happens, you have me. I meant every word of that."

The second he said it, Scarlett's eyes turned red.

She pressed her lips together tightly, trying hard not to let herself cry, but confusion still filled her voice as she asked quietly, "Damian... is any of this really worth it?"

Damian wrapped his hand around hers, noticing immediately how cold her fingers were.

"When you love someone, you don't stop to calculate whether it's worth it or not," he said softly. "Besides, you saved my life."

Scarlett immediately understood he was talking about the time he'd been stabbed.

But the truth was, Damian could have gone straight to the hospital that night. Instead, he had risked everything to come find her first.

If she had made even one mistake treating him, she wouldn't have saved him at all.

She would've been the reason he died.

Damian pulled her gently into his arms, his voice low and rough near her ear as he said, "Before I met you, the only person in this world who really mattered to me was Ruth. Then I met you, and you became the second. But now, because of you, everyone in the Theron family matters to me too."
