039 Poisoned To The Bone
Scarlett’s POV
“Scar, what’s wrong?” Aurora frowns, then as if realized something, she slowly looks up at the fancy hotel, her voice now shivering, too, “…what’s today’s party again…?”
Then she takes a gasp.
“Yeah…” My brain freezes, and before I could do anything, I watched a police car pulling up. and Lilith comes off.
“You sure it’s here? It doesn’t look like a place for people like us-” Damon’s voice follows Lilith out as she sprints to us, “Lil!”
“Scar!” Lilith crushes into me for a big hug, turning to make a naught face at Damon, “Told you I got the right address!”
Damon sticks his head out at me and Aurora: “Sorry I’m dumping my problem on you guys, but I’m on a case right now and I really can’t-”
“It’s okay, we got her,” Aurora nods at him, and I dart my eyes down to the ground – we can’t tell Lilith to leave now. It wouldn’t be any less humiliating than telling her it’s an upper–class party that we are going for.
And Lilith came in a pair of jeans. Just great.
Aurora and I exchange a look, both at a loss. We might bring a backup dress if we came
driving, but now… Lilith looks confused, looking at us in turns: “What-?”
“This is too disrespectful! You are being rude to Granny!” Ava puts on a pout, frowning at Lilith with a disbelieving look, there are almost tears in her e eyes.
I have to hand it to Ava when it comes to acting. Maybe Sebastian didn’t fund her purely out of affection after all.
Granny never told me that she once threw Ava out of her house. She won’t go that low. But I could tell Granny didn’t like Ava, and I had never invited Ava to Granny’s birthday parties. She came as Sebastian’s plus one, KNOWING it would upset Granny, and she is accusing Lilith of being rude for wearing informal outfits?!
Not to mention her innocent, rightful act in front of Sebastian as if she is bullied to tears on behalf of Granny. It makes me sick.
“We will change her into a proper dress,” I pull Lilith behind me, facing Ava, “but since you care so much about upsetting Granny, then maybe you should figure out how to change into a different face?!”
“Tsk,” Clicking his tongue, Sebastian lets out a resigned sigh, darting his impatient look over
