Chapter 256


    Upon returning to her bedroom, Scarlett noticed that Travis had not followed her up, leaving her feeling


    flustered. Travis wanted to go back to Ennd because she had not agreed to be her sister’s substitute


    in the morning.


    He knew she wanted to stay, so he had created a fuss topel her toply.


    She had pretended to be indifferent so as to let Travis dispel the idea of letting her be someone else’s


    substitute again.


    No matter how hard she tried to mediate, Travis simply would not care.


    Scarlett, feeling a bit tired, curled up on the bed, tucking her head into her arms.


    Travis, who had juste in from outside, saw her and, somewhat provocatively, raised his chin.


    “What’s the hold-up? Why haven’t you started packing yet?”


    When Scarlett heard his voice, she lifted her head in displeasure. She clenched her jaw and red at


    him. “Hold on.”


    Seeing how distressed she was. Travis was in a cheerful mood and took a step back. “Come with me


    back to Ennd. You don’t have to be Reba’s stand-in.”


    Sebastian loved her deeply, so it was troublesome to remain in the country.


    Scarlett gazed at him in astonishment. “Are you serious?”


    Travis replied calmly. “When have I ever been untruthful to you?”


    Scarlett was skeptical of Travis; she averted her gaze and stayed quiet, yet in her mind, she pondered


    whether to flee or not “Don’t even contemte escaping.”


    Travis seemed to have prated her thoughts with a single nce, mercilessly revealing them.


    “You won’t be able to escape.”


    He gazed down at her from above. “Unless you take a leaf out of your sister’s book…”


    Scarlett trembled at the coldness and determination she saw in his eyes when he spoke.


    She gazed at Travis in a trance, as if she had just realized what kind of person he was. “So this is how


    you drove my sister to her demise.”


    Travis’ expression grew somber. His whole being was cloaked in guilt, yet he didn’t refute it. “That’s


    correct, so do to give it a go?”


    Scarlett’s petite face gradually paled. “If I pass away… will you let me go?”


    you want


    Travis approached her and stooped slightly. He gazed into her dull eyes and spoke sternly, “You


    possess her heart now. I won’t let you perish. Obey me


    Scarlett smiled bitterly.


    She strained her eyes and gazed at Travis. “Did you have strong feelings for my sister?”


    It was difficult for her toprehend why he wouldpel someone else to act as a stand-in.


    Travis sneered, his eyes stained with coldness. “Who said I love her?”


    He had said that even if all the women in the world were dead, he would still not love her.


    Scarlett gazed at Travis and found him to be profoundly contradictory.


    If he didn’t love Reba, why had he drawn so many portraits of hers after her death?


    If he didn’t love Reba, how could he have been so infatuated with her heart?


    It was obvious that he was unable to admit his love for her sister because he had hurt her.


    She had no interest in conversing with such an odd individual any longer and uttered icily, “Allow me a


    moment. I’ll go inquire of mypanion first.”

    Travis was still lost in his thought. When he heard her response, he snapped back to reality. “Don’t


    keep me waiting too long.”


    He uttered the sentence, spun on his heel, and strode out, his back as unyielding as ever.


    Scarlett took out her phone to call Susan, but before she could dial, the maid’s voice came from


    downstairs.


    “Young Miss, ady named Susan is asking for you.”


    Upon hearing that Susan was here, Scarlett hung up the phone and hastened downstairs.
