Scarlett's POVThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"Granny, I'll go check!" I pick up my dress a little, hurrying to leave.

"I'll come with," Granny says, frowning as she looks over, too. She doesn't like people. raising a fuss at her party, and she would like it even less if she knows who Lilith is.

I blurt: "No need, Granny, I'll sort it out-

But before I can finish, a fair-sounding voice cuts in:

"Granny, no need to stress yourself out. I'm sure Scar can take care of the situation... considering that girl is her friend."

Ava Snake Fuller. Of course she would jump out at such a moment. I bet whatever is

Sinn on with Lilith, Ava has her hand in it. She's the only one with a motive to attract

sour attention to Lilith.

To my surprise, Granny didn't get any of Ava's keywords, but asks coldly: "Who are you calling Granny?"

The smile freezes on Ava's face. She quickly flinches to Sebastian's side and murmurs: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Knight..."

Granny shoots her a cold, knife-like glare before she strides in Lilith's direction like a Queen. I follow Granny nervously, realizing Adrian is already ahead of me approaching the crowd.

"You better pray that I don't find out this has anything to do with you!" I shoot Ava a glare as well before I follow Granny. Sebastian seems to want to speak up, and I refuse to give me a chance.

He would just be mad at me assuming Ava has anything to do with the situation and say some mean words on Ava's behalf. He wouldn't blame her even with proof in front of his face. So why bother to listen?

"Does anyone know her? Who would be so stupid to wear a Nightingale's knockoff to such a party?"

"Exactly! They are the most famous brand, and easy to tell from knockoffs."

"The most ridiculous is, Ava ordered that particular one. They made only one of those dresses in the whole world, and that's the one she decided to go with, haha!" 843 Night Malockoff

The crowd is "whispering" out loud for Lilith's ears, which are red like apples now. The few I caught, I heard Ava's name. Of course she is involved, somehow. Sounds like the fuss is about Lilith's dress, and that makes my heart drop- We didn't think too much about the guy who gave us the dress, who was too generous and kind to be true, now I think about it.

Was he part of this show?

"Lilith, what happened?" I push for a hole of the wall of the crowd, making my way to Lilith. Aurora is already in there, fighting with a mean girl who is spouting nasty things at the moment.

My brave Lilith, who wouldn't flinch in front of bullies like Gabriel, is now frozen in embarrassment. She's so nervous that her hands can find no good place to put, and I see tears in her eyes, twirling to drop.

"It's okay!" I pull Lilith in my arms, comforting her with a soft tone, "You are okay now, I'm here. Let me take you out of here."

Lilith could barely move, and she allows me to lead the way. But the crowd makes all but no effort to give way, enjoying Lilith's humiliation. In the front line is a group of mean girls, several of whose faces I have seen around Ava. "Did you do this?!" I turn to Ava, demanding with anger bursting out of my chest, "Tell your dogs to move, or you will regret it!"

"How horrible!" Ava stomps her foot, and instantly tears pour out of her eyes which are just two faucets, "I know you are mad at me for staying friends with Sebastian, but it's not my fault that your friend wears a knockoff to Granny's birthday party! I warned you she's a bad i Ava plays the victim role the best. She has practiced that with me her whole life.

This has nothing to do with Sebastian, and arguing with her would only help her stir up more dust.

"Fine, I'm jealous of you because of Sebastian," I say coldly and my indifferent tone shocks Ava, "can you get your friends to move now? I don't imagine you would want to ruin Granny's party, would you?" Ava freezes in shock.
