She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 228

Sebastian calls again.

Scar doesn’t even raise her eyes in either direction of the two men calling the price up for that little ring. She leans right with her elbow on the arm of the chair like a lazy cat, her icy purple pupils indifferent, giving off a deadly queen aura. But few can see the slight curve of her lips—

She knew Sebastian wanted the ring, badly.

She came for her mom’s necklace, but at arriving she knew Sebastian would come – HIS ring is on the list.

She knew of that ring for a while now. Well, she has known the existence of that ring for her whole life. Like any teenage girl, she wanted to know everything about her crush, and she found out about the ring when it was still a picture in his notebook. She knew he was designing a ring, she watched that ring come to life, kept by him in a velvet little box, and she knew who it was for—

Ava Fuller.

The ring was the cleanest corner of the heart of a boy with the first, pure, luring taste of love.

Scar was always jealous of that ring.

She knew that Sebastian kept that ring on him for years. Looking for the best time to present his heart to his Ava, maybe? Scar wasn’t even the only one knowing about the ring. A lot of girls had a crush on him, and many of them dreamed of being the owner of that ring, that one item their prince charming kept close to heart.

She wanted it, too. But that’s not why she’s bidding for it today.

Not too many knew that Sebastian used to hold that ring in his palm, and kiss it when he wasn’t with Ava. That’s why Scar never dared asking about the ring, not even after she put another ring on his finger – she knew it was a place in his heart that only belonged to Ava.

She knew Sebastian never give that ring to Ava – or Ava would have flashed her blind with that ring. But she never knew it was no longer in his possession. She was genuinely surprised when she saw that ring on the auction’s list, but his feelings didn’t matter to her now --

She’s bidding for the ring only as a game. Either Ava leaves today with her most valuable trophy ever at a sky high price paid by Sebastian, or she gets to throw Ava a taunt never like before by burning Silco’s money – her punishment for him keeping his identity a secret.

“300,000$,” Scar separates her lips, and her luring voice silences the room through the microphone she has between her two fingers.

Not that Silco would care about a small price like this, but she’s sure Sebastian wouldn’t let go of the ring, at least not till half of his empire is burned up.

Sebastian shoots over a glance. She feels it, but she doesn’t look over. He’s impatient this early? She hasn’t even started yet.
