She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

085 Liam Ryan's Curse

Scarlett's POV

That I did not know.

Of all people, I thought Ava was the one who wanted me by her side the most. She fears death, and I'm her safety rope. I thought at most, she offered my name to Liam Ryan in exchange for her own life.

I don't like the dark tone Liam Ryan used.

"Get him in the car!" In a police uniform, a bulky guy with a round face frowns at the officer who has Liam Ryan under his hand. They were transporting him, and Liam Ryan was fighting to stay for what he had to say. "Jeremy, let him talk," Adrian calls the bulky guy, his voice colder than ever," We might use it in court."

"His words right now are not admissible," Sebastian glares at Adrian, adding to Liam Ryan, "Do you have evidence to support your claim?"

But Liam Ryan ignores them both.

To all our surprises, his eagle eyes nail on Jack Fuller: "You are the father of both the girls? I don't believe that. No father would treat their little girl as how you treated the redhead."

Everyone darts their eyes at me.

Even a stranger who met Jack Fuller once could tell?

"The little snake in your arms is exactly like the ones who pushed my little sparrow to death," Liam Ryan shakes his head at Jack Fuller.

Lingering his eyes on Ava for a moment with utter hatred in his eyes, he turns to me: "This man does not deserve to be your father, and as my apology, I'm giving you the tool to get rid of him: that little bitch volunteered your information before I made a threat on her life. In f 1/3

Ava bursts out in a shrill: "You are lying! You are just saying this to sow discords!"

Liam Ryan laugh's lightly, ignoring Ava: "..she said she would pay me, if I go and kill Sebastian's Knight's true love."Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Do you have evidence?!" Sebastian urges again, this time obviously angry,

Liam Ryan cocks an eyebrow at him, not intimidated at all. Nothing can shake a guy who doesn't even care about his own life.

"You don't deserve this kind of treatment," Liam Ryan turns to me, shaking his head in disappointment, "If I had known he didn't love you, I wouldn't have dragged you into this..."

"Thanks, I'm divorcing him," I answer swiftly. I don't agree with what he did, so even though he is taking my side, I can't really spare any sympathy,

He sees my cold look, and he gives a bitter laugh, "You are a lot alike my sparrow. She has only black and white in her eyes, too. Maybe if I didn't raise her that innocently, then she wouldn't have seen death as the only solution..."

I sigh at that girl. Her life was just like mine, only a sadder version. But her guy was really blind, and mine wasn't.

"No, I don't have evidence," Liam Ryan turns back to Sebastian, the icy cold hatred back in his eyes, "I actually hope you WON'T take my words for it, and go share your life with that serpent in disguise. Someday you will see her true color, and I will enjoy your cry when-!" Liam Ryan didn't get to finish his curse at Sebastian when a crying shout burst out-

"Let me through! I need to talk to him!"

It's Justin. The moment Liam Ryan hears Justin, he frowns and turns, getting into the car voluntarily.

"I don't want to see him," Liam Ryan closes the door with handcuffed hands, telling the officers coldly, "Please, can we go?"

Sadly, the officers don't take his command. And even if they do, he was too late. Justin already fought his way over to the police ca hrowing himself onto Liam Ryan's window as he shouted in tears: "It's not true, is it?! Annie was my angel who stayed by my side in that hospital! Tell me you were lying! Tell me...!"

His shaking legs could barely support his body as he slid down the car door. Liam Ryan stares forward with a cold, blank face, not looking at him: "I think you know the answer, don't you?"

"Why didn't you tell me..." Justin mumbles. The policeman Jeremy hints at his men with a nod, and they go up and lift Justin off the ground, "She-she was my angel...? She jumped off here w-when I was on my wedding...!"

I can't help but glance at Sebastian. His eyebrows furrowed deeply, sorrow in his eyes as he went and comforted Justin. He cares about that kid, that much I know. Ava hides her face in Jack Fuller's arms, sobbing faintly. What shocks me the most, is how Adrian gives me a sorrowful look as if he knew my story. He wouldn't know, would he?
