Christopher let out a soft sigh. âThe more talented one is, the more prideful they become.
âGoing back to how things used to be wonât be easy. Youâve made your decision. While he may not blame you, things will never be the same.â
âWhat should I do?â Sheila was visibly anxious. âJust go with the flow, Sheila. Only time will tell. Perhaps you can meet again someday.â Christopher shook his head.
Although that was the advice he offered, he knew it was too late. Once a rift had formed, no matter how hard one tried to mend it, the scar would remain.

After leaving the Murray residence, Dustin drove back to Zephyr Lodge. As soon as he walked through the doors, an anxious Cornelius rushed out to meet him. yelleding as he ran, âSir Rhys, we have a problem! We have a big problem!â
âHuh?â Dustin frowned instantly.
âWhat happened? Why are you so anxious? Calm down and tell me.â âI-Itâs the Scarlet Warrior. Sheâs here!â Cornelius was breaking out in sweat.
âWhat about it? Itâs not like youâve never seen her before. Whatâs with your reaction?â Dustin rolled his eyes at him.
Cornelius had experienced worse things. Why was he getting anxious over such a small matter? It was embarrassing.
âThereâs⦠Thereâs moreâ¦â
âWhat? Can you just finish your sentence? Why are you so fearful? Itâs embarrassing.â Dustin was slightly put off.
âIt isnât just the Scarlet Warrior. Ms. Harmon has also arrived. Theyâve met! âCornelius exclaimed. âWhat?â Dustin was shocked. It was his turn to be unsettled.
âWhy didnât you say so earlier?â
âI was trying â¦â Cornelius said, feeling perplexed. Wasnât Dustin all haughty earlier? Who was the embarrassing one now?
âHow are they? Theyâre not fighting, are they?â Dustin asked. He knew Scarletâs temperament well. Once she decided to act, no one could stop her.
âNo, but the air between them in the room is pretty intense.â Cornelius involuntarily shrunk back in fear.
âWhere are they?â Dustin pressed further.
âIn the guest lounge.â âLetâs go! Come with me!â Dustin left for the guest lounge in a hurry. Cornelius could only follow him helplessly.
Meanwhile, inside the guest lounge, Natasha was seated at the main seat.. She was leisurely drinking her tea. On the other hand, Scarlet was seated next to her, engrossed in a military strategy book.
Senior members of the Kirin Gang stood respectfully on both sides, hardly daring to breathe. It was extremely stifling. In the end, Natasha was the first to break the silence. âMs. Spanner, how long have you known Dustin, if I may ask.â
âSince we were children,â Scarlet replied coldly.
âOh, so youâre childhood friends?â Natasha raised an eyebrow. âWeâre also arranged to be married,â Scarlet said confidently.
âMarriage?â Natasha chuckled. âTimes have changed. I doubt your arranged marriage still holds any weight.â
âOur families have been friends for generations. Of course, it still stands,â Scarlet replied with an icy stare.
âTraditions are one thing, but has Dustin agreed to the arrangement?â Natasha smiled. âHow do you know that he wonât agree? âScarlet countered. âBecause Iâm his woman.â Natasha puffed up her chest, showcasing her prominent assets with pride.
âYouâre not worthy.â Scarlet shook her head.
âThatâs not up to you to decide.â Natasha maintained her smile. âIâm warning you. Stay away from him, or Iâll kill you,â Scarlet said coldly.
âReally? I donât believe you.â
As soon as Natasha said that, she heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed. Before she knew it, a viridescent sword was pressed against her throat.
