251 Her Crash

Long after Scar stormed out of Sebastian's company, her hands are still shaking. It takes three of Authur for her to snap out of it to hear his question. "Where are we heading now, Miss?" Authur is patient just as the first time he asked her.

"Sorry!" Scar takes a deep breath, combing her hair with her fingers to calm herself, "Let me...give me a minute."

She's two hours early for her dinner plan with Damian. Either going back to Silco, or sitting by herself for another two hours. But Scar wants to do neither.

She can't help letting Sebastian's words get to her.

If it was before, she would never doubt his word even when he treated her as his enemy. That man doesn't lie. But now? She's not sure. He let Ava get to her not once, but twice. Honesty is not the only thing that matters in this game. She's not even sure if his feelings have changed about lying. After all, it was Ava. Scar won't be surprised no matter what that man does for her.

Could it be true though?

She didn't see that woman's face. She THOUGHT it was Ava because her figure looked like Ava and her voice shared Ava's. Not to mention Ava had the motive and means to enter the house. How could it be anyone but Ava?

But to think that Sebastian Knight, the man who spent his whole life protecting the wrong girl because he wanted to do the right thing, would make up such a horrifying lie for a murderer is just as unlikely.

His accusation does hurt though. An accusation that Scar thought she knew full well.

Silco is using her. She knew that. Why would she expect otherwise? She didn't even know him before all this happened. He offered money, power and means for her revenge just so she could be the face of his revenge. They are in this only because the Fullers are their common enemy.
