Editor: Henyee Translations

Scarlet’s father, Thomas South, stood there, fury written all over his face as he glared at Keira and Lewis.

The moment his voice dropped, two security guards burst in, heading straight for the pair.

Keira frowned and exchanged a look with Lewis.

Without needing a word, the two of them stepped back—right behind Scarlet. As expected, she immediately blocked the guards, arms spread wide.

"Don’t touch them!" she shouted.

She got to her feet and locked eyes with her father. "Dad, they’re my friends!"

"Friends? They’re strays, Scarlet! Do you have any idea what kind of situation we’re in right now?" Thomas bellowed, his anger boiling over. "Lena’s family is just waiting for us to slip up. Your aunt’s already being held, and if we so much as breathe wrong, we’re done for! This family’s already on thin ice thanks to her!"

His sharp features twisted with rage, making his usually handsome face look almost grotesque.

Scarlet clenched her fists. "But Dad, that’s not what you said before. You said it wasn’t her fault..."

Thomas let out a bitter laugh. "What do you know? You think our family’s still some fairytale dream of flowers and sunshine? The heir of the main bloodline—that title alone is a thorn in the side of the current head of the South family! Your aunt came back, but she refuses to have children. And today? I got called in and chewed out again!"

Scarlet blinked in shock. "Wait, what?"

Thomas took a deep breath and sat down, pressing a hand to his chest like it hurt just to talk.

The butler stepped in quickly. "Miss Scarlet, please don’t upset the master anymore. You weren’t there to hear how cruel the family head was. They’re desperate to force your aunt. If she still won’t give them a direct heir... they’re planning to come after you next. After all, you’re her only living relative."

Scarlet stumbled back a step, her eyes wide as she looked at her father. "Dad... I didn’t know things were this bad for you."
