\u201cScarlett, how dare you speak to me like that! You\u2019re asking for trouble!\u201d Luke yelled, his face flushed with rage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nothing infuriated him more than being told he wasn\u2019t manly enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was bad enough when others said it, but coming from Scarlett-someone he considered beneath him\u2014it was utterly unacceptable. She had no right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After delivering her words, Scarlett completely ignored Luke\u2019s roaring and Amanda\u2019s murderous glare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had work to attend to; she couldn\u2019t waste her energy on unworthy people and trivial conflicts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Perhaps afraid Luke\u2019s commotion would alert Xavier, Amanda didn\u2019t let him chase after Scarlett. Instead, she said softly to him, \u201cLuke, I\u2019m here. I\u2019ll make sure she pays for insulting you like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luke was still fuming. \u201cMom, make her pay! And we can\u2019t just forget about her hitting me last time either.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amanda kept agreeing. \u201cOkay, I\u2019ll think of a way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
*****\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Scarlett arrived at the hospital, she had a colleague from her department treat her wound.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The skin on her arm was broken. Her colleague carefully disinfected and bandaged it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although it wasn\u2019t a serious injury, it still slowed her down at work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the evening, because she had medical records to complete, she stayed an extra hour before finally leaving the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was already past 7 p.m. Scarlett didn\u2019t dare return to the Theron Manor. She was afraid her family would worry, and even more afraid Nathan would impulsively seek justice for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Stewart and Theron families were on completely different levels. If they truly offended the Stewarts, the Therons would suffer for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For her family\u2019s safety, Scarlett chose to endure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She lied to Nathan, saying she had extra tutoring and would be back late, so they shouldn\u2019t wait\u00a0<\/p>\n

for her for dinner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan, knowing she was preparing for the exams, didn\u2019t question her excuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After her shift, Scarlett began wandering the streets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had no destination in mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Walking aimlessly, she unconsciously found herself outside an upscale restaurant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Through the large glass windows, she saw Vincent, Vanessa, and Sabrina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent sat alone on one side, typing on his laptop-probably busy with work. Across the table, Vanessa and Sabrina sat facing each other on a sofa. They were playing some kind of game, talking and laughing, occasionally leaning in to kiss each other\u2019s cheeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent would look up at them from time to time, his eyes full of tenderness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett stood on the bustling street, her right arm hanging limply, afraid to move it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The contrast between their warmth and her own wretchedness made her heart ache with bitterness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a moment\u2019s hesitation, she took out her phone. With difficulty, she typed a message with her left hand. \u201cIs the divorce agreement ready?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After sending it, she looked back at the scene inside the restaurant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent wasn\u2019t looking at his phone or his computer. His attention was entirely on Vanessa and Sabrina, his gaze soft, a faint smile touching his lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In that moment, they looked like the perfect family of three.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent didn\u2019t reply to her message. Growing impatient, Scarlett decided to return to the Oakland Villa to retrieve the divorce agreement she had prepared earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since they were divorcing anyway, the one she had drafted should be just as valid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she took a taxi back to the Oakland Villa, Freya was visibly surprised to see her. \u201cMrs. Stewart, you\u2019re back?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett didn\u2019t waste words. \u201cFreya, where is that document I gave you before?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Freya quickly replied, \u201cMr. Stewart asked about that agreement a couple of days ago too. But I\u2019m old, my memory is bad, and I\u2019m always misplacing things. When you first gave me the agreement, I accidentally misplaced it. But since Mr. Stewart asked me to find it the other day, I\u2019ve located it. Let me get it for you now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hearing Freya\u2019s explanation, Scarlett finally understood why Vincent hadn\u2019t signed it yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Freya weren\u2019t so forgetful, they probably would have finalized the divorce long ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soon, Freya brought the agreement. The file cover was dusty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Freya said, \u201cMr. Stewart kept telling me to deliver it, but I kept forgetting, so I never did.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett took the file. \u201cFreya, I\u2019ll deliver it myself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She carefully wiped the dust off the divorce agreement and left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she drove to Ravenshade Villa, she parked on the roadside and didn\u2019t go inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ravenshade Villa used to be her home too, a place that held her daughter and her husband.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now, Ravenshade Villa felt like Sabrina\u2019s domain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maria was inside. Scarlett didn\u2019t want to see that woman\u2019s face, so she stayed in the car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She sat there for almost an hour before Vincent\u2019s car finally pulled up at the entrance of Ravenshade Villa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent got out of the driver\u2019s seat and opened the rear door. He lifted Vanessa out, then turned back to help Sabrina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After both were out, he closed the car door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For someone usually so proud, he was now willing to lower himself-for them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
