She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 132

132 The Emperor’s New Necklace 

Scarlett’s POV 

“I don’t know,” Ava blurts almost Instantly without thinking, then her tone turns suspiciously, “…why are you asking?” 

C 

– 

“Why do you think?” Sebastian lets out a light laugh, but if I’m not mistaken, the laugh does not reach his eyes. I have never seen him treat Ava with such an attitude. 

Ava pouts her lips, staring at Sebastian with her deer eyes wide open, her tone timid like a tamed sister–in- law: “You are asking for…her? Are you two…getting back together?” 

Sebastian glances in my direction again: “Yes, hopefully soon.” 

Ava lowers her eyes. 

“I thought she might forgive me if I helped her locate her biological parents,” Sebastian continues as if not seeing Ava’s bothered look. 

“Daddy doesn’t want anything to do with that family,” Ava murmurs with a scared face, “says the junkies will strangle us like vines if they found out that their daughter got adopted by rich people…” 

Or maybe they would try to save me from him. 

Good story, Jack Fuller. 

“I understand. No parents want their children taken, no matter at what age,” Sebastian nods slowly, looking at Ava right in the eyes, “You will help me though, right? You always said you wanted Scar and me to be happy together.” 

I physically can’t stop my body from snorting coldly at that. The only thing that saved me was the noisy 

room. 

Ava wanted me and her prince charming a happy ever after? Yeah, right. Only Sebastian would believe such a lie. If I felt pity for her seeing herself as Pinocchio before, I no longer do. She lies when she doesn’t even need to. She could just outright say that she was jealous and that wouldn’t diminish his love for her even by a little. 

She cocooned herself. She has the cocooned look on her face right now: “That was…before…” 

Before she was healed. Before she thought she could have a normal life with him. 

With Ava’s attention on him, I turn for the staircase and sneak back up. She said she didn’t know. Whether a lie or truth, she doesn’t have the answer I want. 

Lucas has been waiting for me. 

“I have got it!” He says with a mysterious look the moment I enter. He pulls me inside the room, checking oût both sides before he closes the door behind me in haste. 

“The password?” frown in confusion, “Why did you even want it? It’s not like we can enter his safe all the time.” Jack Fuller guards his safe like a dragon with his mountain of gold. He spends most of his time there.

“Better!” Lucas smirks, pulling a thing from behind his belt. 

A 

long, blue velvet necklace case. It’s empty inside. 

“What—wait!” I gasp in shock, “The necklace case in the safe?! You got it after Ava left it there?!!!”
