Stay dead?
Pretend they were actually deceased?
What was she plotting?
Confused, Julian stayed silent, waiting for her to explain.
Scarlett stood up and walked slowly to the window. Gazing out at the sprawling cityscape, her voice was perfectly calm. "What happened out there wasn't a random accident. And I guarantee Kane Stetson didn't act alone."
"This is the perfect opportunity to see exactly who is celebrating my demise."
"Let them get sloppy. Let them throw their parties and show their true colors. Then, when they're at the peak of their arrogance, I'll come back from the grave. It'll make the game so much more entertaining."
She turned to look at Julian and Zachary. "What do you think?"
Julian pondered it for a moment, then a slow grin mirrored hers. "Alright. If you want to play dead, I'll play dead with you. Now I'm actually curious to see how this plays out."
Zachary chuckled, highly amused by the two of them. "Fine, I'll cover your tracks. We'll play the death game."
His smile faded slightly as he added, "Though, your ex-husband has been having a total meltdown trying to find you. He even called me, begging for help tracking you down."
Scarlett didn't so much as blink.
