She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

118 My Evil Plan

Scarlett's POV

If there is one thing that Ava didn't lie about, it's her desire for Sebastian. And I'm betting on that.

Ava pouts with big drops of tears pouring out of her. She looks at her parents beggingly, but she is not saying anything. She can't deny my lie, because I can make it true.

"Scar..." Anna Fuller changes into a softer tone, saying hesitantly, "You know Ava has been living in that room for years, I don't know if="

"I mean," I take my suitcase from Ava's hand, lowering my eyes sol wouldn't burst into laughter at my "sorrowful" tone, "I can leave, if that's what you want."

"To where?!" Ava snaps with a shrill.

"Ava Fuller!" Jack Fuller warns, and both Anny and Ava purses their lips, "If Ava cares so much about you, then I have no problem with it." Said that, Jack Fuller turns and leaves the farce.

Anna Fuller lands her sad but merciful look on me. The look that tells

me to take a step back in fights with Ava. The look that I have been submitting to my whole life.

"Ava, should I stay?" I hand my suitcase in her hand, ignoring Anna Fuller.

The farce ended with Ava dragged my suitcase into the building with a grumpy roar, bumping it on everything as she did. Verses the bumps on the ridiculously expensive furniture, I think her act hurt Jack Fuller more than me. Alfred told me the room would be ready in two hours. Honestly? With Ava's habit of collecting clothes, I was expecting more than that.

Thanked him, I took my iPad, and went to knock on Jack Fuller's door.

His study. And my target.

Jack Fuller showed tremendous self-restraint and let me in. In fact, he left me in his study alone very soon after I made the request, telling me he had some emergency meeting.

I don't know if his acting has been slipping, or if it has been this awkward all my life, but now when I see his act, I wonder how I got tricked that easily before.

He wanted me to open his safe, and he knew that was my purpose all along.

fell" for his trap and took my chance. The password was still the one I "cracked" ten years ago. I opened the safe, took a picture of the inside without touching anything, and then I closed the door, wiping off my fingerprints. Part one, done.

With the "recently used" password, there is a chance that I could require the company to open the safe for me. Of course, the identity of the " daughter of the owner" is a must. Hence our plan.

Now part two.

"Alfred, how's my room's cleaning going?" I waited out the two hours before I came to check, "Not that I'm in a hurry but-"

I cock my eyebrows when I see that the room has not been touched. I knew Ava wouldn't surrender easily, and I was counting on that.

"I'm sorry, Miss," Alfred bows at me with a genuine tone, "I was going to get it ready for you, but there was an emergency, and Miss Ava left in a hurry. I'm not allowed to touch her things until she gets back..."

"I understand," I nod, giving him a smile, "I'm not really in a hurry, but

maybe you can go and call Miss Ava to see when she might be back?"

"Of course," Alfred bows at me and turns to leave, only to pause and turn back to me with a deeper bow, "Welcome home, Miss Scarlett."

He leaves with a straight face. He is not a passionate person. He worked for the Fullers his whole life, but he still talks to them in a distant tone; He wasn't exactly warm to me before Ava made the whole world know that I was adopted, and he was still the same to me after.

That's why I sent him away. I don't want to drag him into my war.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

I go into Ava's room the moment Alfred disappears into the hallway, and I start throwing her things out of the window. I start with her glassed collections and then her precious dresses, jewelry and all that. Five minutes into it and I'm in sweat. That's the one thing I didn't expect in my plan-

She has too much shit!

I lean on the wall by the window after I threw her whole bedding out of the window, checking with my cameraman while at it - Adrian said if there is any member of my family still alive, then Jack Fuller wouldn't want me to make the news in any way.

This is our test. We will leak the news of "The Fuller's Adopted Daughter Acting Out" ourselves, and then the ball would be in his court. "Are you having fun?"

A smirky voice rises by the door all of a sudden, and I flinch at it- Sebastian.

He came sooner than I thought. It's okay though. Part two is basically done.
