Chapter 356\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlen\u2019s POV\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked toward the sofa but didn\u2019t see Ronan, nor Riley anywhere around.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as I was wondering. Ronan appeared from the far end of the first floor corridor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I froze for a moment why would Ronan go that way?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then it hit me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The storage room at the end of the hall was Riley\u2019s room. Could it be\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
A dark thought rose inside me, a sharp and bitter hatred bubbling up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
a\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finlabed\u00a0<\/p>\n
Riley, you shameless bitch. How dare you seduce Ronan right under my nose? Seems like I haven\u2019t taught you a proper lesson yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though my face wore a sweet smile, my words were sharp and poisonous when I called out, \u201cRonan, where have you been?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He answered casually, \u201cJust wandering around. It\u2019s late, I\u2019m heading back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His expression was calm, unreadable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I tried to persuade him, \u201cWhy not stay for lunch?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, thanks.\u201d Without another glance, he left the Vale pack house. A\u00a0<\/p>\n
My eyes followed his retreating figure until he disappeared completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then I glanced at the closed door at the corridor\u2019s end, my eyes narrowing. Jealousy slithered inside me like a venomous snake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Turning to Mom, I said cheerfully, \u201cMom, it\u2019s almost mealtime. I\u2019ll go upstairs to call Riley down.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mom nodded with a contented smile, watching me run upstairs with an indulgent gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But my real goal wasn\u2019t to call Riley for lunch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I needed to check if she was actually in Kael\u2019s bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pushed the door open-and as I expected, Riley wasn\u2019t there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room was decked out in high-end princess style decor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I clenched my teeth in fury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since Riley was hospitalized, Kael had immediately hired people to renovate the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019d underestimated Riley. She\u2019d only been home a few days and already stolen Kael\u2019s attention away from\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 356\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
A cruel light flashed in my eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she wasn\u2019t in Kael\u2019s room, then she must be in the storage room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The thought of what might be happening between her and Ronan in that cramped, dark space nearly set my sanity ablaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kael\u2019s affection belongs to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ronan belongs to me too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Riley, you shameless wretch. You\u2019re trying to snatch what\u2019s mine. You deserve to die.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hatred blazing like wildfire, I had my plan in an instant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stomped down the stairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mom saw I was alone and asked, \u201cScarlett, where\u2019s your sister?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I put on a disappointed face. \u201cShe\u2019s not in Kael\u2019s room. Probably back in her own \u2018room.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s expression stiffened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She already knew Riley was living in that windowless, damp storage room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Kael took Mom there, her heart almost shattered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t bear the thought of Riley living in such a dark, cold place for three whole\u00a0<\/p>\n
years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So when Kael renovated his room in that princess style to surprise Riley, Mom fully supported it, hoping to mend their mother-daughter relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But since Riley woke up, she had neither thanked them nor shown any gratitude.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And now she\u2019s gone back to that storage room, like she\u2019s deliberately stabbing a knife in Mom\u2019s heart, refusing to let her rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mom looked sad and angry, frustrated by Riley\u2019s stubbornness and cold attitude.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was about to head for the storage room when I stopped her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, I should go,\u201d I said, \u201cSince Riley and I are closer in age, it\u2019s better if I talk to her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mom nodded and sat back down. She agreed-why should she, as the elder, stoop to beg a rebellious junior?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I turned, but the moment I faced the storage room door, my expression hardened like stone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without knocking, I pushed the door open.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWow! Sleeping soundly in broad daylight, aren\u2019t you lucky, sis?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Riley\u2019s cold eyes snapped open, icy as ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cGet out!\u201d she said flatly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I laughed, worn dripping from every word. \u201cGet out? As if you have the right!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crossing my arms, I looked her up and down with utter disdain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t think being Mom and Dad\u2019s \u2018real\u2019 daughter gives you the right to boss me around. Take a look-who do they actually care about?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBorn with a silver spoon or not, you\u2019re still an unwanted bastard\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I lifted my chin high, as if Riley were some worthless dust beneath my feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Listen carefully. Ronan\u2019s mine. Not some trash like you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Riley sat up slowly from the fold-out bed, then stood and faced me calmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yours? You can\u2019t even keep him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you could, Ronan wouldn\u2019t be chasing me all the way to the storage room-and I wouldn\u2019t be stopped from marrying the prince of the Stormridge pack.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
