132 The Emperor's New Necklace Scarlett's POV "I don't know," Ava blurts almost Instantly without thinking, then her tone turns suspiciously, "...why are you asking?" C "Why do you think?" Sebastian lets out a light laugh, but if I'm not mistaken, the laugh does not reach his eyes. I have never seen him treat Ava with such an attitude.

Ava pouts her lips, staring at Sebastian with her deer eyes wide open, her tone timid like a tamed sister-in-law: "You are asking for...her? Are you two...getting back together?" Sebastian glances in my direction again: "Yes, hopefully soon." Ava lowers her eyes.

"I thought she might forgiveif I helped her locate her biological parents," Sebastian continues as if not seeing Ava's bothered look.

"Daddy doesn't want anything to do with that family," Ava murmurs with a scared face, “says the junkies will strangle us like vines if they found out that their daughter got adopted by rich people..." Or maybe they would try to savefrom him.

Good story, Jack Fuller.

"I understand. No parents want their children taken, no matter at what age," Sebastian nods slowly, looking at Ava right in the eyes, "You will helpthough, right? You always said you wanted Scar andto be happy together." I physically can't stop my body from snorting coldly at that. The only thing that savedwas the noisy room.

Ava wantedand her prince charming a happy ever after? Yeah, right. Only Sebastian would believe such a lie. If I felt pity for her seeing herself as Pinoccbefore, I no longer do. She lies when she doesn't even need to. She could just outright say that she was jealous and that wouldn't diminish his love for her even by a little. She cocooned herself. She has the cocooned look on her face right now: "That was...before..." Before she was healed. Before she thought she could have a normal life with him.

With Ava's attention on him, I turn for the staircase and sneak back up. She said she didn't know. Whether a lie or truth, she doesn't have the answer I want.

Lucas has been waiting for me.

"I have got it!" He says with a mysterious look the moment I enter. He pullsinside the room, checking oût both sides before he closes the door behindin haste.

"The password?" frown in confusion, "Why did you even want it? It's not like we can enter his safe all the time.” Jack Fuller guards his safe like a dragon with his mountain of gold. He spends most of his tthere.

132 The Emperor's New Necklase +25 BONUS "Better!" Lucas smirks, pulling a thing from behind his belt.

A long, blue velvet necklace case. It's empty inside.

"What-wait!" I gasp in shock, "The necklace case in the safe?! You got it after Ava left it there?!!!" "Yep." He ignores my shock and panic, opening the empty case to show me, with the proud look of a kid showing off his favorite toy, "Am I good or what?!" Deadpan, I land my eyes on the empty case: "What am I supposed to look at? The Emperor's New Necklace?" "Tsk," He clicks his tongue with an unsatisfied look, rolling his eyes as if I'm the ridiculous maniac, “Look at the sunken shape where the necklace was, Sherlock." "I saw the necklace, it's a teardrop-" I roll my eyes, but halfway through my huffing, I notice something weird.

The case is for a necklace, yes, but it's original shape is a circle, wider than the necklace I saw on Ava's neck, And the oddest part is that the tip of the teardrop didn't fit the circle, and poked a new dent on the original circle. "What does that mean?" I blink, not coming around fast enough when I feel like the answer is right around the corner, "It doesn't fit-? It's not the necklace's original case?"

"Yep!" Lucas grins when he watcheshaving my ultimate finah enlightenment, nodding with final satisfaction, "This is definitely NOT N the original case. So why would anyone have a wrong case for such a luxury piece of jewelry, when they care about it enough to lock it in a safe, but not enough to find it a fitting case?"

"He took it from someone so he doesn't have the case, and he doesn't want anyone to know about it-"" open my eyes wide at the destination his questions led me, “No way, that was my mom's necklace?!!!!!" X
