Chapter 170
She Approved the Split He Fell Apart
The Worst Lead Scarlettâs POV I just need a no from him.
I donât care if I would have to go anyway.
I donât care if deep inside his heart, he still canât just let Ava die.
I just need him to tell me that he is on my side.
I donât know how to lower my expectations lower than that.
Hesitating for a long moment, Sebastian asks: âIf it werenât for me, would you have been a friendly pair of sisters?â Is it so hard to choose me? Ava Fuller has her loving parents, her real brother AND a fake brother looking out for her! Even as fragile as she is, would she die if you, Sebastian Knight, say that you donât want your wife to sacrifice for her? Our blood is rare, itâs not extinct! I look at him with disappointment filling up my chest.
My decision to try it with him feels so stupid that my ears turn red.
âPlease, go and attend to her,â I tell him, hearing my voice icy cold.
All I can do is control my tremble enough to hide the crying tone, âI donât want to be seen as a freaking bully before of her again!â
Damian Vanderbilt clicks his tongue at my words, but my fear of him is outweighed when anger is having its moment.
Before any of them can stop me, I turn and dash off.
I have better things to do than talk about saving the one person who treats me the worst on this earth! The whole dancing floor is full and crowded.
I have to maneuver my way to the bar, only to spot Lilith.
laughing with a handsome bartender.
Before I could even try to hide, she spots me.
âScar!â Lilith exclaims in excitement, âOh My God, I canât believe it!â Huh.
I walk over in hesitation.
She certainly doesnât look like a person doing something she hates for a huge debt.
âWhat are you doing here?â I squeeze to the front and Lilith comes to me, âYou are a bartender now?â âYeah!â Lilith grins at me, and I feel so happy and relaxed seeing her bright, genuine smile.
Itâs the cleanest thing in the world.
âThis place has one of my favorite cocktails, created by this master of alcohol!â She points at the cute bartender with both her hands and that boy flushes.
âOkay...?â I frown in confusion, âSo now you want to be a bartenderâ?â Isnât her dream of being a lawyer? âNot really, haha,â
Lilith laughs with the cute bartender, âIâm here to help out on the rush hour, in exchange for his recipe! He has been teaching me how to make it.
Do you want to try it? Ohh, you canât drinkââ Just this moment, a few guys in black suits squeeze up to me, surrounding me in the center.
The leader looks like a murderer on the run with an obvious scar under one of his eyes, and he bowâs lightly to me: Miss Scarlett, Iâm here on behalf of your father.
He needs you at the hospital.â That was fast, even for Jack Fuller.
Did he plant a tracker on me? 1/2 170 The Worst Lead +25 BONUS âIâm not going,â I pretend to be calm, but itâs actually quite intimidating to be stared down by four bulky guys.
I donât know these guys.
Jack Fuller not sending his own bodyguards can only mean one thingâ He is serious about it, and these guys wonât hold back on me.
Lilith comes out of the bar, squeezing to my side with a warning tone at that guy: âYou donât have the right to demand that from her.
Not even her father.
Please, back away.â I know Lilith is a good fighter, but they have four guys.
I wanted to call Sebastian over, but I realized I had left my purse at Oliver Scottâs table.
The guy ignores Lilith â obviously, I have no chance against them, and Lilith is even smaller than me.
â âLil, donât piss them off,â I whisper to her, only to realize that she is nervous too with her body stiff, Sebastian is here...hopefully still.
He is with the guy who gave you that dress, Damian Vanderbilt.
You go and tell him to come find meââ Her body suddenly relaxes.
âScar, if you still want to keep the baby, then follow my lead,â Lilith whispers back.
What lead??? Lilith suddenly shoots a heavy kick on the leader.
Didnât expect any resistance from us, he takes the kick with his body and backs away for several steps.
Lilith grabs the arm of the guy next to him, making way for me: âRun and get him!â I donât want to leave her! I want to scream, but Iâm no help here, and she is doing this for me and the baby and I canât afford to waste her sacrifice either! Ahh!
