041 The Most Partial Person
Sebastian's POV
Granny's birthdays have been the happiest days of our marriage, that's for sure.
For a moment there, | seem to have seen the Scar | used to know. When | felt her tender body under my plam
again, when | saw her lively eyes. When she talked to me.
She used to report everything to me. Even a weird-shaped cloud outside her window she would take a picture
and send it to me, adding a smiley face. But now, all she talks about withis the fucking divorce.
| don't want to get a divorce.

Too much is at stake. The stock, the company's image, Granny's wrath. | clearly remember how stern Granny
was when she heard that the marriage was a deal Scar made by threatening
a life. 1 don't know how Scar turned Granny around, but Granny loves Scar now, sometimes more than she loves
me.
Scar keeps using Ava to probe me. About how | can marry Ava now. That's how | know she still cares about me,
she just hides her love away and wouldn't letsee any. Her way of showing her love used to be nothing but
sweet words and smiles. | never thought one day | would miss them.
| thought | hated her, but the truth is, | have gotten used to her being around, just like Granny did. She can be
mean, cold, and sarcastic, but somehow she permeates your life stealthily like the roots of a tree, and when she
pulls up that root, it hurts, all over.
| want things to go back to the way before Ava's surgery. | once thought that would be how my life is like forever,
and | have accepted that. But she wouldn't let me. She planted her roots in my life, and now she is determined
to pull it up.
Now she only looks atwith fire in her eyes. No love.
"Sure, | fucking invited her just to humiliate her, okay?!" Scar darts her angry eyes off me, trying her best to not
put on her angry face, "Since my evil plan failed anyway, can we drop it now?!"
"Scar, I'm only asking..." | sigh. Ever since her accusation lit up guilt in my chest, | have realized how mean |
used to talk to her, and yet how easy she was on me. | no longer know how to talk to her now, maybe | never
did. But everything | say now seems to rile her up. 041 The Most Partal Person.

| try to remain patient and calm: "Scar, | want to believe you, but you need to-"
"I don't fucking care if you believeor not! And | don't need to prove anything just because someone raised a
random accusation!" Scar finally turns to look at me, and her eyes are colder than ever, "You think you are fair,
but you are the most partial person in the world. You think you are looking for the truth? You are not. You are just
looking for evidence to prove her words. If you really care about the truth, go check the fucking guest list | sent
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe hotel!" Scar's words stunlike little bombs, and before | can even react to it, Granny's voice suddenly cuts
in:
"Scarlett! You were late, and you owetwo presents now!"
Scar is taken aback when Granny pulls her into her arms for a tight hug. Granny is known as "the Iron Lady", but
| know she has a soft spot in her heart. She only pretended that she was tough and ruthless because it was not
easy for a woman to protect a huge empire left by her late husband with sharks swimming around her.
Bur Scar can bring out the cute child in Granny, like magic.
"G-granny! When did you cover?!" Scar tries to smile, but guilt and panic take up her eyes for her lashing
out earlier. We have never fought in front of Granny, ever. "Just now! You have no idea how fantastic | was
fighting those reporters off!" With a bright smile, Granny hooks her arm on Scar's, bragging like a child fishing for
praise. But when | follow, Granny turns slightly and blockswith her back, keepingbehind them.
Then | knew. Granny heard Scar. She didn't mention anything to not embarrass Scar, and even though Scar was
the one yelling, Granny deems whatever happened my fault. Granny definitely loves Scar more than me. Not «
sometimes, but all the time.
