"They are not coming!" Ava hisses at Jack Fuller, darting her eyes around in haste, couldn't keep calm for more than 3 seconds at a time.

She can't wait to get rid of Scarlett permanently from her life. She didn't know Scarlett was pregnant when she tripped her downstairs, but it didn't mean she wasn't happy about the outcome. She got Scar into prison; she got Z-House, a money printing machine; she got the title of Mrs. Knight. Though she and Sebastian wasn't quite like before, but that now seems a much simpler problem compared to Scarlett the psycho coming after her.

Ever since Scar showed up on the homecoming party, Ava hasn't been sleeping well for a single day. She knew Scar wouldn't let it go easily this time, and she knew her old army -- her Mom, her Dad, her Sebastian -- didn't have power over the Scar now. Even her pure bully of a brother is hiding somewhere that no one knows after Scar raised a fuss at home.

She can't wait for Scar to be contained, and that, Johnny Vanderbilt would do.

No man at that level would allow an infamous daughter like Scar to act out. Sure, Scar hates her, but even the police couldn't pin her for what happened that night. Ava is not afraid of Scar telling on her to her dear daddy. Besides, if that dear Daddy really cared about Scar, he wouldn't have reached out to Scar by now.

The only reason Ava sees fit for his absence, is that he doesn't want to claim Scar either.

Jack Fuller shakes his head slowly, hinting the boxes sticking out from the second floor. Heavy scarlet curtains hide their huge windows, all three of them, giving whoever sitting behind there a shade of mystery.

"Who gets to sit there?" Ava whispers to Jack Fuller, staring at the windows with green eyes. She has a feeling that she won't like the answer.

"Ten million spent at the auction," Jack Fuller says without moving much even his lips, sitting calmly, "...per year."

Not to mention, everyone around them is at least a millionaires. But there are tiers between riches. The distance between the benches down here and the windows up

the life behind those curtains belongs to her. That's why she wanted to be Mrs. Knight. She didn't hate Scar, per se, but she couldn't watch the little rich boy paying attention
