She Approved the Split He Fell Apart Novel

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.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

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

to me, “Scar, did you invite Ava over just to humilate her?

1 invited her?! I snort coldly, is that what Ava told him? I cock an eyebrow at Ava, and the looks back calmly.

“I didn’t invite her,” I fold my arms, looking at Sebastian, “if you didn’t bring her here as your plus one, then I suggest you send her home, right now.”

I have always been the one arranging Granny’s party, and I have never invited Ava to it for a reason. Sebastian thought it was out of jealousy. It was, part of it. Granny’s birthday was the one day Sebastian would snow some care for me, even only on the surface. I didn’t want to see Ava’s face on those days.

But it wasn’t all. Granny doesn’t like her. That’s witry

But he knew.

And he brought her here anyway.

“You sent me an invitation

Ava mumblies with a disbelieving look, gripping her purse as if

she is holding back wronged tears, and smiling bitterly, “I see what you are doing now. You win, Scar. I’ll go

Bravo-

The fire in Sebastian’s eyes says a lot about how good Ava’s acting is She takes framing me as her career, like always. The difference is, Sebastian’s distrust doesn’t hurt me anymore.

“And I bet you happen to lose the invitation I sent too?” I short at Ava, “Let’s say that I did lure you here with some invitation that you can’t provide only to humiliate you, then please do, leave!”

Ava doesn’t move, but looks up at Sebastian with her teary puppy dog eyes: “Seb, I did receive an invitation. You believe me, don’t you?”

I stand there and watch. I want to see exactly how deeply Ava has poisoned his mind that he would have a hard time choosing between the lying girl and the grandma who raised him

“Would you ask your friend to leave, please?” Sebastian turns at me, frowning at Lilith, “Im not against being poor, but you know how Granny feels about tomboys

Well, poisoned to the bone, apparently.
