She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

106 Scarlett's Debt

Scarlett's POV

He doesn't want me to find my real family. Of course not. He wants me to be bound to his city, to Ava, for life! And whether I'm happy or suffering in the process, he does not care.

Look at Jack Fuller's cold face, I can't begin to understand why he hates me so much. I'd understand it if Ava needs me. What he did wasn't decent, but at least he did out of love for his daughter. Why stop me now?

My blood type is rare, but it's not like I'm the only one. Every state has its own RH-blood bank established, and ours is one of the best. So long as Ava's demand is within the ordinary range, it won't be a problem for a rich family like the Fullers. So why keep me here?

"I don't need a plan because I'm not in a hurry to find my real parents," break the awkward silence after Adrian's question, "Sebastian is marrying Ava, so I don't want to be in the same city and bless my sister with my ex-husband. Is that reasonable?" Jack Fuller narrows his eyes: "You would be willing to divorce him?"

"On the condition that you let me go, today," I bargain.

"Why are you so stubborn all of a sudden?" Jack Fuller is losing his patience, "All these years, have I ever treated you unfairly?! You got the best school, best clothes and cars, all the things that your friends are jealous of. What's with the wronged face as if the whole world owes you?! I raised you as my daughter, and this is how you pay me back? To see me as an enemy who is nothing but evil?!"
