She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

178 Two Different Worlds

Scarlett's POV

Her scream soon attracts attention.

The first one responding is Sebastian. I think he came over even before I threw her into the water, because he jumped after her almost instantly, and pulled the struggling Ava to the up. She coughs in panic, keeping that horrifying cry up this whole time. But as good an actor as she is, the panic she puts on her face is nowhere near the panic I'm feeling inside.

I pushed Ava Fuller, the delicate princess of the Fuller, into a freezing cold lake, with the witness being my own husband.

The case of my crime could be closed and sentenced already.

I dare not imagine the anger of Jack Fuller, the disappointment of Anne Fuller, the vicious revenge from Gabriel and...Damian Vanderbilt. I don't even know how to face Sebastian at this moment. "What's going on here?" Damian Vanderbilt's august voice demands, and I freeze in fear.

"I'm sorry!" Ava bursts into a louder cry, sobbing at him as she "tried and failed" to stand up, "Damian, I lost Mom's necklace! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I tried to stop her, but she was too fast!!!"

only Ava's devasted cry echoing around. Jack Fuller pulls Ava up in silence, hugging her tightly as she trembles in her wail. Anna Fuller is not with them.

Vanderbilt cuts me off coldly, "who died with my two-year-old baby sister in her

Damian Vanderbilt says, only to stop himself when his voice twists out of shape. He takes a long breath to calm himself before he continues, "Did you know, that Ava tested positive in the DNA
