Chapter 219 Let’s me It On Scarlett

Aurora truly hadn’t expected everything to fall on her. She had no idea what Scarlett had said during questioning, or how much she’d revealed.

Now that she was being taken away, she didn’t even know whether she should confess or deny.

But Scarlett didn’t even nce at her, she just let her be taken.

Sophia, as thedy of the house, didn’t ask a single question either. She simply watched with calm eyes as Aurora was led away.

Aurora had been nning to turn to Chloe for help. But Chloe, at that moment, was ring at Grayson in fury; she didn’t even have the attention to spare.

That was when it finally hit Aurora.

She might have seemed popr in the Lane family, but in truth, it had all been superficial.

Now that something had gone wrong…

She was the first one they chose to sacrifice. iLooks /ilike iI’ve /iibeen /iifar /iitoo /ikind ito /iithe /iiLane /iifamily/i. iIf /iiI /imake it out of this iin /iione /iipiece/ii, /iiif /iiI /iie /iiback /iiunharmed/i, iI’ll /iinever /iigo /iisoft /iiagain/ii. /iiThey’ll /iipay /iifor /iwhat ithey /iidid /iito /iime /iitoday/i.

After Aurora was taken away, Chloe suddenly snapped out of it.

“This wasn’t just Scully, right? I heard the Houston family and the Kramer family’s kids were involved too.”

“I wonder how they’re doing… whether they’ll be as lucky as Scully.”

Scarlett gave her a faint smile. “Sounds like you’re more concerned about outsiders, Aunt Chloe.”

Grayson’s temper red. “We’re saying this for your good. If you’re fine, but the other families‘ children are still being held, do you even understand what kind of consequences that could bring?”

The bnce between families had to be maintained.

If Owen pulled strings just to get Scarlett out and left the others behind, the rest of the families would join forces to retaliate against the Lane family.

Sure, the Lanes were a powerhouse in Jandale, but more often than not, they still had to rely on the support of other families.

If things fell apart, the Lane family’s entire standing would take a hit.

Scarlett gave a slow, unbothered smile.

“Why don’t you exin it to me, uncle? I wouldn’t know.”

“You got out because your dad cashed in a favor,” Grayson sneered.

“The families of the other kids will use him of ying favorites, and they won’t lift a finger for the Lane family again. You’ll turn us into an ind!”

Scarlett blinked, genuinely surprised. iSo /iieveryone /iiin /iithe /iiLane /iifamily /iithought /iiOwen /iihad /iipulled /iistrings /iito /iiget /iime /iiout /iisafely/i?

Chapter 219 Let’s me It On Scarlett

Suddenly, it all made sense.

No wonder her aunt and uncle were in such a rush to stir things up.

They weren’t worried about her at all; they were worried about themselves.

+ Pearls

After all, in the entire Lane family, only Grayson’s businesses were in the entertainment industry, and those needed support from the others.

“I sec, so I caused trouble?” she asked, feigning confusion.

Seeing her act so clueless, Grayson’s tone turned even sharper.

“I really don’t know what’s gotten into your father. How could he do something like this? Let’s do this. Youe with me and apologize to the other families. Try to contain the damage.”

Sophia immediately pulled Scarlett behind her and red at Grayson, her expression ice cold.

“Apologize? Did you even hear yourself just now? Grayson, have you been acting in too many dramas? Has all that dramatic nonsense fried your brain? Why would the Lane family ever need to beg anyone? My daughter finally made it home safe. If anyone tries to put her down, they’re picking a fight with the entire main family, and I won’t be ying nice.”

Grayson was stunned.

“Sophia, you’re treating the Lane family like…”

Before he could finish, a pair of headlights suddenly cut through the darkness outside.

The moment the car lights spotted the people at the gate, they dimmed.

Samson quickly came running in to report.

“Pordon me, the Houston family’s here.”

Grayson’s face instantly darkened.

“See? They’ve alreadye to demand answers.”

“Sophia, I’m telling you, you need to be smart about this–don’t go offending ieveryone/i.”

With that, he grabbed Chloe and stepped outside to greet them himself.

Since they were clearly targeting the main house,

He needed to move fast to distance himself.

But just as they reached the first car, a second one pulled up behind it.

Grayson squinted at the new arrival. When he saw who was inside, he was a little stunned.

“Well, I wasn’t expecting Mr. Samuel toe in person.”

Chloe froze as well.

“That must mean this is really serious.”

Grayson nodded. ol start="8"liFears /li/ol

b“/bMr. Samuel has some personal ties with our mother, but even that may not be enough to sway him. The thing is, the Kramer family holds influence in both the entertainment and film industries.”

Chloe’s heart began to race.

She had wanted Scarlett to suffer, to bepletely ruined.

But if Scarlett had actually crossed someone powerful and taken them down with her, the consequences could be far worse than she’d imagined.

“Honey, what do we do now?”

Grayson gently patted the back of her hand.

“Don’t worry. I can still speak with Mr. Samuel. I’ll go test the waters first.”

Chloe nodded and whispered, “Be careful. This had nothing to do with us in the first ce–we can’t let ourselves get caught in it.”

Grayson let out a quiet sigh. He didn’t respond.

He just stepped forward.
