248 A Deal

Prepared for this question, Scar answers unnecessarily fast: "I couldn't risk anyone helping Ava to get MY Mom's necklace. That's why." Her answer dims the pleasant light in Sebastian's eyes.

"I know..." Sebastian nods slowly, hiding the disappointment in his eyes, "But you didn't have to come help because of that, did you?"

Scar snorts coldly: "I'm doing this for Granny, not you."

"Granny kicked me out of the company for what happened five years ago," Sebastian lets out a light laugh, "I'm pretty sure she would be the last one who would want you to help me right now."

Scar raises her eyebrows. She didn't think Granny would be so cruel to Sebastian, but then again, there weren't too many who could rip Sebastian's title easily.

"What did you tell her?" Scar frowns.

Scar blamed Sebastian only because he trusted the wrong person. Legally, or any other aspect speaking, he wasn't the killer five years ago. He just protected the killer was all. But Ava was never convicted, and Scar didn't think Granny would know about any of the truth. After all, nobody knows, not even her.

Sebastian gazes into her eyes, and seeing Scar dodging him, he sighs very lightly: "I told her I failed to protect my wife, AND I failed my promise to the little girl I saved, too."
