213 Mistress of Johnny Vanderbilt
Looking at Gabriel's steaming head, Scar giggles, waving her hand indifferently.
"I came with big money behind me this time, and that's why your fox of a father and snake of a sister are treating me with a basic manner. They know they can't push me around but they are not stopping you from pissing me off because they want to see what I can do about your disrespect. Do you know what that means?"
"Bullshit!" Gabriel grunts, but he can't help but glance in his father and sister's direction either.
"I'll tell you what I will do to you," Scar stops spinning her phone, putting it in her purse as she stands up, her look bored and cruel, "That little precious company of yours that's misleading you into thinking that you are not pure valueless trash? It's going down in exactly three days. I know it doesn't exactly hurt them," She nods in Jack Fuller and Ava's direction, "I mean, how could it when they never cared about you?"
"You" Gabriel wants to shout, but Scar cuts him off-
"BUT, I'm more than happy to show the true faces of their color for you," Scar bows with an invisible hat to her chest, "After all, you are the stupidest and therefore most harmless one in this family. If I were you? I'd jump ship right now, and cut my ties with the Fullers. After all, all you did to me was some mild school bully shit."
Gabriel would have talked back if he has expected any of these from Scar. What does it mean to jump ship? And he is the least harmful to her? Is she losing her mind?! Most importantly-
"Dad! Did you hear-? Could she really destroy my company?" Gabriel asks as the clown he is, and ignoring him, Jack Fuller glares at Scar with resentment when Ava with pure hatred. But their silence speaks loudly.
"You are just a crazy bitch!" Gabriel shouts, but the obvious shiver in his voice shows his fear as he turns to Sebastian: "Do something! Are you just going to stand there and watch?! Did you hear her?!" Sebastian looks at Scar, who doesn't look back. That puts a bitter smirk on his lips.
"I can't help until I find out who's helping her," Sebastian shrugs, obviously not sharing the urgent worry of Gabriel, "so if you have any idea who that masked man is...?" Scar's sharp eyes land on Sebastian, and he smiles gently at her.
"He has power beyond your reach," Scar snorts coldly at him, her teeth clenched together, "but please, try me. I'd love a reason to throw a judgement over your head."
"What? You don't have enough already?" Sebastian grins at her, his eyes bright without hostility.
Scar rolls her eyes at him, not answering.
She hates him, to the guts. But that's not because he didn't actively hurt her in any way. The most he did was be blind and give Ava a chance to. For what happened with him, she mostly just blames herself for being stupid.
But the reason she doesn't want to make a move on him, is because she's not sure how much "Silco" wants to make a move on the king of the city. After all, Silco's target is the Fullers. And she can't risk losing her one and only help in a fight with Sebastian. That man would smile in his dreams if he could save Ava at any price.
Her silence puts a smile on Gabriel. Ava darts her eyes between Sebastian and Scar, doubts in her eyes.
With a cold laugh, Scar shakes her head with disappointment, and pulls up a file in her phone, glancing through lazily as she reads it out by random points:
"You have got only one pitiful company under your name, barely keeping above the water with Daddy's help, am I right? Three companies under Ava's name, one under Jack Fuller, and seven under...HER."
She's not calling that woman mom anymore. To Scar, Anna Fuller is just someone she care not to even mention by name.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"Tell you what," Scar turns off her screen, and spins her phone before slicking it into her purse like a
cowboy with his gun, "I'll close up et
one of them every day until I get what want. Let's see who can last in this game longer then. You have exactly 15 days, Fullers, use them wisely."
"What the fuck do you want?!" Gabriel shouts at Scar with
frustration in his voice, when Scar darts over a cold glare he lashes out, "Yeah, fucking heard! You want to see Mom! I'm asking what you want besides trying to guilt-trap the one person who has ever really cared about you?! Huh?!"
To his and everyone's surprise, Scar is not throwing trash back. She stands there with her head low, her shoulder twitching lightly as if crying. Sebastian comes up to her quickly but before he could say any comforting words, Scar's slight shiver turns into a big one as she shoots her head up with a string of sarcastic laughter bursting out of her.
"Care about me?" Scar laughs so hard that tears comes out of her eyes, "She has NEVER cared about me! You have such a wrong impression of your beloved mother, Gabriel Fuller. I pity you, because you are just as stupid as I was." "You—!" Gabriel charges up, and Sebastian blocks between him and Scar. But―
"Scar!" A heartbroken exclaim bursts out from the stairs and everyone looks over.
"Finally," Scar curves her lips with evil glimmers in her eyes, "Finally you stop hiding behind everything...Anna Fuller. Or should I say, mistress of Johnny Vanderbilt?"
