She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 178

Scarlett's POV

Her scream soon attracts attention.

The first one responding is Sebastian. I think he came over even before I threw her into the water, because he jumped after her almost instantly, and pulled the struggling Ava to the up. She coughs in panic, keeping that horrifying cry up this whole time. But as good an actor as she is, the panic she puts on her face is nowhere near the panic I’m feeling inside.

I pushed Ava Fuller, the delicate princess of the Fuller, into a freezing cold lake, with the witness being my own husband.

The case of my crime could be closed and sentenced already.

I dare not imagine the anger of Jack Fuller, the disappointment of Anne Fuller, the vicious revenge from Gabriel and...Damian Vanderbilt. I don’t even know how to face Sebastian at this moment.

“What’s going on here?” Damian Vanderbilt’s august voice demands, and I freeze in fear.

“I’m sorry!” Ava bursts into a louder cry, sobbing at him as she “tried and failed” to stand up, “Damian, I lost Mom’s necklace! I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! I tried to stop her, but she was too fast!!!”

What?! I watch in utter shock as the scene gets off the rail at a speed beyond my imagination. Damian Vanderbilt’s face darkens visibly at her words, and his fiery eyes dart at me.

I shiver automatically, but to my surprise, Sebastian stands up and blocks that ray of condamnation. He came to her rescue, he took off his suit to wrap around her, but he is now standing in front of me, against my mafia boss of a brother.

“You need to calm down--” Sebastian says, but Damian Vanderbilt already threw himself over, shouting: “Don’t you tell me to calm down!”

His fist had already landed on Sebastian’s face.

I gasp in horror, tears bursting out. I dash to Sebastian but he stands up faster than I could reach him. “Stay away, Scar,” He commands in haste, raising both his hands to Damian Vanderbilt, “I’m not fighting you! I know you are upset, and you can take it out on me! But if you want to solve the problem, then you need to talk.”

Panting like an angry bear, Damian Vanderbilt pauses his attack. He just stands there, glaring at me.

“What, did, you, do?” He demands at me with every one of his words burning in flames.

Sebastian follows his steps, hiding me behind him closely: “Scar, tell him what happened.”
