She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 168

Scarlett’s POV

My only way out is blocked by Oliver Scott.

What do I do? Why does he seem to have a problem with me? I barely even know him. For Ava? If so, then does that mean he would look out for his real sister? But he wanted her dead! Besides, I can’t even prove I AM his sister even if I want to!

“Hey, it’s okay,” Oliver Scott suddenly says, “He is here for a girl who played him, and that’s why he came to my table. If you don’t like it, I’ll ask him to leave.”

“Tsk,” Damian Vanderbilt clicks his tongue, shooting a glare at his friend, “Seriously?”

I blink the tears that are almost pouring out back in. Really? He would be on my side?

“I want to leave,” I say quietly to Oliver Scott, staring into his eyes, my heart pumping fast in my chest. Oliver looks at me for several long seconds without too much of an expression, but then he stands up and makes way.

“I didn’t know bullies scares so easily,” Damian Vanderbilt taunts. I turn around in worry, but he is not coming after me, “I mean, what you have been doing to Ava Fuller--”

“...is none of your business.”

Before I can even turn around, Sebastian’s hand lands on my arm, and his hot body presses into me. Feeling safe unreasonably, I let out a sigh and relaxed a little, and I hear his low, dominant voice by my ear: “Leave you alone for one second, and you are scared into a little kitten?”

He left me first!

But I know better than to fight with my ally in front of my enemy, but he left me first! I move sneakily and land my heel on his feet, adding force as I glare at him in silence. Sebastian purses his lips, kneading my shoulder lightly to ask for a truce.

Hmph!

“I thought you two were getting a divorce,” Damian Vanderbilt suddenly says, but his eyes are not on us, but on his friend, “is that just a rumor?”

“Yes,” Sebastian answers firmly. He, too, stares at Oliver Scott.

Huh? Why is that about Oliver Scott in any way?
