Chapter 40 040 His Condition Scarlett's POV I really want to throw my purse into his face before leaving with Lilith, but I can't do that to Granny. Our war should not ruin her day.

In the end, we watched Sebastian and Ava walk in with winning smiles, leaving us by the gate. While Ava attacked Lilith just to upset me, she has a point. I can't let Lilith walk in there in her jeans. It would definitely upset Granny.

So long as we get a dress, we can make it through the party. Granny might not her.

t even notice "It's okay, I can wait for you guys at sbar nearby." Afterand Aurora's awkward explanation, Lilith hugs us with a comforting smile, “I really don't mind.” "It's only because-" I want to explain more. If only I had told Aurora what the party was about.

If only I thought I could handle Sebastian and Ava on my own...

"You know I don't like this kind of stuff, I understand," Lilith grins at me, not looking offended. Or she just hides it well.

"|=" "What seems to be the problem here?" An unfamiliar voice cut into our conversation by the corner of the gate, and we all turn to it in surprise. A friendly-looking guy leans at us as if eavesdropping, but he is doing it in an exaggerated way with a genuine smile, and it's a bit hard to be mad at him.

"It's just..." I glance at Lilith, not sure how to explain the situation.

But the guy is unexpectedly intuitive.

"If a dress can help your situation in any way," He backs one hand with a light bow, "I might have one that suits the lady." I have no idea who this guy is. He wears his dirty blonde finger-long hair in a messy but cool way, giving a swanking feeling, but his bright smile and genuine eyes make it really hard to judge him in any way. He wears luxurious suits, but somehow he gives the sunny aura of the handsneighbor that any girl would have a crush on in high school.

And he shares my eye color. Deep purple. Like a pair of modest amethyst.

The generous stranger left us alone after he provided his car for Lilith to change into what was apparently a new dress. He said he just likes to be prepared, and with pure gratitude filled us, we didn't want to probe in any way.

045 His Condition +25 BONUS The party already started when we sneaked in, and in case Granny would look for me, Auroral took Lilith in a different direction from me. And surely enough, Granny spottedinstantly.

Granny would be a view in any room - her iron style in her business days left an impression, and even though she has given the handle of the empire to Sebastian for years, there are still people swarming the few days when she would show up in public, like her birthday, for her business advice or just paying respect. You will always see her neatly combed silver hair being the center of an excited crowd.

Surrounded, Granny nods atwith a pleasant and apologetic look, and I nod back, waiting by a high table nearby.

"Did your friends leave?" Sebastian approaches with a glass of champagne, whispering atas he shoots a smile at Granny.

Granny sees us and smiles. I have to put on a smile, too, and the jerk chooses this moment to put his hand on my waist.

"Are you kidding me?!" I squeeze my words out through gritted teeth, smiling.

He chuckles, pulling my waist even closer.

The bastard! Does he really understand what a divorce means?! I means lift my foot as stealthy as possible and try to stomp on his. He dodges successfully, but he has to let go of me, too.

"See? We have fun, too. Don't we?" Sebastian comes around to the other side of the table bumping his untouched champagne into my untouched champagne as if we are sclose friends. Exactly what part was fun?! I shoot him a glare, glancing around nervously in case we draw any attention.

"Scar, do we really have to divorce?" He puts away his annoying smirk, lookingin the eyes.

I have long stopped looking to be seen by him.

"You promised to sign the divorce papers, as the condition ofm attending Granny's party," I remind hìm, feeling my fury aflagain. The smirk fades from his face slowly.

"Scar, just between us, did you invite Ava or not? X
