Scarlett’s POV
In shock, I savor her words slowly, only to make sense of them when I remember today’s headline--
Pictures of a private party could leak out, but only because they are allowed to be leaked. Jack Fuller WANTED the picture of Ava with my mom’s necklace so he could mislead Damian Vanderbilt! I would have thought that a handsome extortion for raising the Vanderbilt’s daughter would be their best shot, but I underestimated the Fuller’s greed--
He wants Ava to take my place!
How ridiculous was I when I came to warn her in case she was hurt because I didn’t want Damian Vanderbilt to realize my true identity, when Ava has been trying to be my imposter all this time.
They deserve each other.
“Do you even know what it means to claim that title?” It’s ridiculous to even say it out loud, when I stare at her in disbelief. She has no idea what Damian Vanderbilt is like. It still gives me chills when I remember his cold tone when he told Oliver Scott that “Dad might not need to know of her existence”.
“I don’t know,” Ava smiles creepily, approaching me in a slow, vicious move, “What does the title of the Vanderbilt’s princess get? Anything and everything?”
Sure, IF you can keep that title.
I wash my hands off Ava's blood if Damian Vanderbilt murders her in the end. She called for it.
I totally wish she COULD trick Damian Vanderbilt and lure that devil away from me. But is it really possible?
She tricked Sebastian for all these years because I didn’t know why Sebastian was into her. But this time I know. And even if I don’t expose her, then what? Do the Fullers really think they could just trick one of the most powerful and wealthy families in the country without consequences??? With her FULL and intact history of being Ava Fuller, from her birth certification to her everybody test and whatever, how do they even imagine they could possibly pull this off?!
I can’t even begin to comprehend their plan. I mean, I’d understand such a brainless plan comes from Ava, but Jack Fuller? The fox who tricked everyone for years? The man who saw through Ava without her even knowing that? He came up with this plan of presenting his own daughter to the Vanderbilt, just so she could change into a wealthier last name??
Something is definitely off!
“How...? I mean...how???!” I shake my head, can’t get around it, “Despite all the problems that might come later, how do you plan to pull this off when I am here? An adopted daughter who was hated for years while I share MY mom’s eyes?”
I should have known when I first met Damian Vanderbilt. His eyes look exactly the same as my Mom’s in the newspaper.
