She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 216

The phone call changes Scar back to the vengeful fallen angle. For now.

“I’ll go after Johnny Vanderbilt for what he did on his part, thanks but that’s none of your business…” Scar curves her lips, her devil like grin has no warmth, sending chills down the spine of her enemies, “I hope your family really have no trouble with your lousy explanation on cheating, Mrs. Fuller. But for now, I want my mom’s necklace.”

Anna shakes her head slowly with mercy in her eyes, as if Scar is just a misbehaving child who doesn’t know better.

“What happened to you, Scarlett?” Anna insists on calling Scar the name she gave her, ignoring Scar’s words, “Are you seeing anyone for these episodes? It’s not a light thing. If you need help—”

“Not from you!” Scar spats with cold anger, “Stop with the hypocritical act of yours! You just don’t know when to stop even after your true color is exposed, do you? I was wondering where Ava got that from.”

“How dare you talk to my mom like that!?” Ava shrills, blowing up at Scar’s words.

“Scarlett, you have crossed the line,” Jack Fuller warns as well in his low, august voice, “This is my house, and you don’t get to come here and act out like this.”

Scar spats back: “You want respect? Drop the gross lies and fucking earn it!”

“You—”

“Jack,” Anna Fuller’s gentle call silenced him effectively. He sends a worried look over, but she just shakes her head slowly, “Scar, we can’t just give the necklace away. It’s a very valuable item and—”

“The necklace is MINE!” Scar hisses angrily, her teeth all clenched together.

“The necklace belongs to the Vanderbilt,” Anna Fuller says calmly, her tone is still that motherly one, but her vicious meaning finally sprouts: “you will have it when you claim that name but…before that, we have a responsibility to guard it until a Vanderbilt comes for it.”

If Alice didn’t lift the spell that name put on Scar just now, Anna’s words would certainly trigger another episode out of Scar. Horrified, Scar realizes that that’s exactly what Anna is trying to do.
