Chapter 647 Hostages

Well, well. Raiden did not forget the intention of charging me at the court. If that's the case, why will I go back to Dellmoor? I don't want to go to jail or get sued!

“I'm not going back. I'm staying here! If you insist on sending me to jail, do it then. I shall sever our ties as brothers and sisters here and now!”

Raiden frowned slightly.

She shows no regrets even when things have turned out this way. It's fine. I've already told her everything that I should. There's nothing that I can do if she doesn't want to heed my advice.

Initially, Raiden had thought that if Scarlett had turned herself in voluntarily, she might stand a chance of staying alive because of the Fletcher family's power and influence. So even though Scarlett had to spend many years in prison, she could still look forward to her release from jail in the future. And if she changed herself for the better, Scarlett's life would start afresh after she was free. At least, it would be better than the life she led currently, which was no different from a zombie.

“Fine. I won't send you to jail. There's nothing more that I can say if you continue acting this way. One day, you will suffer the dire consequences of your actions! By then, it will be too late for you to regret it. As your brother, I wanted to give you some parting advice. Yet, you wouldn't heed my words. There's nothing I can do now. I'm not going to meddle in your affairs from today onward, and don't blame me for being heartless and cruel to you in the future.”

With that, Raiden promptly turned and left.

Scarlett's legs went weak, and she collapsed slowly onto the ground.

I'll have to spend the rest of my life in jail. I don't want to live a life without freedom, okay? I'm Lady Scarlett, and I'm born into a prestigious family. I will never allow myself to turn into a lowly criminal! The stark contrast between the two lives will be devastating to me! Luckily, I've undergone the IVF procedure
