Chapter 125 Family Interventions\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent was assisting Sabrina toward the main house. Scarlett stood to the side, neither departing nor speaking-simply observing them move together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
But before they reached the entrance, Vincent turned and fixed his gaze directly on Scarlett. His eyes blazed with restrained anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yes, he was furious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett remained completely unintimidated. She met his stare unflinchingly, her expression inscrutable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They regarded each other in silence, neither speaking, yet in that wordless exchange Scarlett understood Vincent\u2019s message perfectly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was telling her she had crossed a line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But was it truly her fault?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina had blocked her path and refused to move-contact had been inevitable. Why was Vincent blaming her instead of Sabrina?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett offered a bitter, weary smile and finally broke their gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as she turned to leave, Vincent suddenly asked Sabrina, \u201cCan you walk unassisted?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina appeared confused, but before she could respond, Vincent bent and swept her into his\u00a0<\/p>\n
arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His hand brushed against Sabrina\u2019s injured arm, and she leaned into his chest, murmuring softly, \u201cVincent, that stings.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be more careful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent lowered his head as he spoke. From Scarlett\u2019s perspective, it appeared his lips grazed Sabrina\u2019s forehead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHah\u2026\u201d Scarlett couldn\u2019t suppress a cold, quiet laugh before turning and walking away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Vincent carried Sabrina inside, Vanessa came rushing over. \u201cDad, what\u2019s wrong with\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett didn\u2019t hear Vincent\u2019s response-she was already too distant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After leaving Ravenshade Villa, she noticed a white Porsche parked out front. The door opened,\u00a0<\/p>\n

and a woman in a long white dress emerged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett looked up and recognized Lucy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the passenger seat, Luke sat momentarily before reluctantly exiting as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
87\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since Scarlett and Vincent had married, Lucy and Luke rarely visited Ravenshade Villa. When they did come, it was typically only to see Vanessa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, regardless of how infrequent their visits, they usually appeared several times a year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the past, whenever they visited, Scarlett would welcome them with a warm smile and prepare various dishes-stews, stir-fries, an entire spread.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Lucy or Luke expressed preference for a particular dish, she would prepare it regardless of complexity or time required.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now, seeing them here at night, her face showed no hint of a smile, none of the warmth she\u2019d once readily offered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Knowing they weren\u2019t here for her, Scarlett attempted to pass by without engagement, but Lucy suddenly caught her arm. \u201cScarlett, I need to speak with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett paused, her eyes red-rimmed as she regarded Lucy. \u201cSo you\u2019re here to ask me for something too?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not every member of the Stewart family was unkind\u2014at least Xavier and Lucy had always treated her decently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xavier had consistently been gentle with Scarlett, never causing her difficulties. Lucy wasn\u2019t particularly close, but she\u2019d never intentionally made things hard for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing the hurt in Scarlett\u2019s eyes, Lucy felt a twinge of guilt. After hesitating briefly, she sighed. \u201cScarlett, Daniel\u2019s mother is still young, with so much life ahead. I consulted Dr. Huntley as well, but he stated he\u2019d only agree to the surgery if you requested it. So\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett didn\u2019t let her finish. She withdrew her arm from Lucy\u2019s grasp. \u201cSpeaking with me won\u2019t help. Go talk to Daniel.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, she turned and walked away without looking back. Luke didn\u2019t attempt to stop her, but he muttered sharply to Lucy, \u201cI told you-even if you ask, she won\u2019t help. She\u2019s just a parasite. Why bother pleading with her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett heard Luke\u2019s insult clearly, but she didn\u2019t react. She simply entered her car and drove\u00a0<\/p>\n
away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watching her departure, Lucy glared at Luke. \u201cI told you to mind your language. She\u2019s Vincent\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n

wife. Can\u2019t you show some respect?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luke emitted a derisive sound. \u201cVincent\u2019s wife? The only one I acknowledge is Sabrina.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
87\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucy struck his arm. \u201cShe\u2019s Vanessa\u2019s mother. As for Sabrina, she\u2019s merely Vincent\u2019s girlfriend. Cease such remarks. If I hear them again, I\u2019ll address it myself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luke rolled his eyes. \u201cYou continue defending her, but does she even value your concern?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucy sighed deeply. \u201cBut Daniel isn\u2019t entirely blameless in this situation either. Nolan is a principled professional. He wouldn\u2019t commit basic errors.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luke retorted, \u201cYou\u2019re not Nolan. How can you possibly know what truly occurred?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucy had no response and fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The following day, after work, Scarlett brought food to visit Nolan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But when she opened the hospital room door, she found Xavier already present.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was surprised, but still greeted him courteously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She knew precisely why Xavier had come, but she felt neither anger nor emotional distress\u2014 just an empty resignation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
