Chapter 197

Ch. 197 / 324 Jul 29, 2025

"Kenzie has been sentenced to 10 years." Sara looked lazily at the phone in her hand, with a scornful smile on her cold face. "She's really lucky."

Sara held her chin and touched the table with a pen. "It's okay. I hope she can correct her errors and make a comeback."

Freya sighed, "Look at the consciousness of Sara, it's like living in the human world. If I had experienced this, I would definitely wish that Kenzie and the others could be sentenced to death."

Sara said, "I don't think death is the limit. She has paid the price for her current situation. There is no need to push her into a dead end."

She paused and said, "Leave some hope for others. I hope that I can have a chance to live when I'm in desperation."

Scarlet raised her eyebrows. "That's true. Kenzie is in such dire straits. Sara, in order to celebrate your suffering, big sis will treat you to dinner tonight."

Sara couldn't help but laugh. "I'm not claiming my innocence."

Scarlet said, "It's all the same. What do you want to eat? Tell me."

Sara thought for a moment and said, "Let's roast meat."

Freya immediately said excitedly, "Yo, we'll be selective! I want to eat barbecue too! There's a newly opened barbecue shop outside our school. I heard that it tastes good. Let's go there today after class."

Freya was a weight-losing bitch who shouted every day that "I'm so fat! I want to lose weight!" But she would never leave the cup of milk tea without leaving it alone. She was a bitch who knew a lot about the delicious food around her.

Sara didn't have any objections. She had never eaten roasted meat before. She had only seen William and Lilly's family eat roasted meat. The fragrance of roasted meat and the happiness of the harmony made Sara very envious.

She had carefully schemed for Lilly's death, but she still could not forgive this woman after Lilly's death. Even if she often dreamed of Lilly's death, she would never regret it.

Scarlet turned back to look at Alex. "Alex, let's have some fun together?"

Alex was sleeping on the table. He opened his eyes and took a look at Scarlet. "You can go. I have something to do."

"Did Grandpa Selmy get into trouble again?" Sara asked nervously.

Alex smiled and said, "No, the old man is very good. It's something about his family."

In the past, he was not interested in the internal relationship of the Selmy family at all. When he returned to the Selmy family, he just followed his mother's wishes. He hated the Selmy family's various relationships, his indifferent father, and the whole Selmy family.

Old Commander Selmy was the only warmth of the Selmy family, so he only cared about Old Commander Selmy in the past. After this incident of Mamond, he knew how many open guns and hidden arrows Old Commander Selmy had blocked for him. He had never been a weak person. If someone wanted him to die, he would definitely retaliate.

Some people didn't want him to stay in the Selmy family, but he insisted on holding the entire Selmy family in his hands.

Sara replied with an "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

After school in the evening, Sara and the others arrived at the barbecue restaurant.

The environment of this barbecue restaurant was very good, and the decoration was a little fresh. However, it was annoying that they saw Eva and William as soon as they entered the restaurant.

Sara didn't know when they got along with each other, but she didn't feel comfortable to see either of them.

William could still pretend to be polite in front of outsiders. Sara didn't even know how she managed to do it. She coldly responded and didn't want to speak.

However, Eva was quite enthusiastic and said, "Sister, you also come to eat barbecue? Let's go together?"

Scarlet was wearing a long black dress today. She had the air of a queen. Even without heavy makeup, her naturally beautiful face was full of arrogance and nobility. She looked at Eva coldly and said, "Don't do that. I'm afraid I can't eat it."

Eva's face didn't change at all and said, "Yesterday, my mom mentioned you, my sister. She said I'm sorry that I didn't attend your coming-of-age ceremony. But that day, she was really in poor health... So, she wanted me to apologize to you."

Scarlet gave a derisive laugh. "Don't say that as if your mother didn't go by herself. Let me tell you directly. It was me who told Grandpa. If your mother were to go, you won't have to attend the Coming of Age Ceremony."

Freya sniggered and quickly covered her mouth. "Ah, I'm sorry. Actually, I didn't mean to laugh, but I really couldn't hold back my laughter."

Scarlet and Eva were obviously not in the same channel. Eva was good at using some delicate and small means to frame others. She always said some ambiguous words to provoke others so as to show her weakness. But Scarlet was different. She didn't take Eva's tricks seriously and just said whatever she wanted.

Eva's face changed, but after all, she was scheming and kept a smile on her face. "Sister, it hurts our harmony by saying this. I know that you don't like my mother, but father loves mother. You have grown up and shouldn't interfere with the marriage of your elders."

Scarlet said coldly, "I don't interfere. I have already said that my father will marry whoever he wants. As long as it is not your mother, I will accept it."

"...You..." Eva gritted her teeth, and her beautiful face became ferocious for a moment, but soon she was about to cry.

"Sister, how could you do this? Father and mother are free to love each other. It is wrong for you to rely on your father's favor and interference! Are you still angry that I have been too close with Victor? I can promise you that I will never talk to him in the future. Don't be angry with my mother..."

Her pitiful appearance made one want to explode with protection just by looking at her. If Sara hadn't seen her other appearance, she would've been tricked by her.

There was a hint of criticism in the eyes of the people around Scarlet said coldly, "Eva, why are you playing so many games? Victor, if you like it, just take it. I don't care. No matter how you cry, I'll keep my word. Everyone can do it. Your mother can't do it. Now, get out of here. I want to go in and eat."

Eva shrank a little.

Scarlet shoved her aside and said to Jimmy, "He's gone."

Sara looked at it and was stunned. She nodded in confusion and said, "Okay..."

Freya pushed Sara to bypass Eva and William and whispered, "I tell you, every time I see Scarlet tear up this scheming b*tch sister, I feel so damn good every time I see Scarlet."

Sara whispered, "Then why doesn't Scarlet care about what others say about her?"

Freya curled her lips and said, "Eva has been irritated. She will complain to her father and grandpa when she gets back. She can't be wronged. Don't worry."

It turned out that the feeling of having relatives to protect her was like this.

Sara lowered her eyes and laughed self- mockingly.

Other people's fathers all protected their daughters, but her father was the only one who pushed his daughter into the fire pit.
