After a moment, Victor held his neck tiredly, looked at Scarlett with cold eyes and asked, “Is there anything else you have left to l about me?”
"What?"
“Or is the Royal Constabulary more your taste?”
Scarlett turned her head: “I didn’t know.”
“Oh, you didn't know that too?”
Victor's cold stare silenced her.
He continued: “Among all the employees, you chose one and did not know that he was a royal policeman?”
“I swear I didn't know!”
Scarlett shouted irritably.
Victor smiled softly and said: “Then explain.
Why did you choose this particular person?”
Scarlett thought of an explanation.
How could she explain that the person she chose was a spy who had infiltrated the Doomfelt family?
It had nothing to do with the Royal Constabulary, neither then nor now.
Her breathing quickened.
If she doesn't explain now, he might send her to another monastery.
Even if they became strangers, he had the authority to do so.
In front of Victor Domfelt, she always felt helpless.
Her heart did not understand, no matter how hard she tried.
This was the state of their marriage, and this is the state now.
But there were no words to explain.
Her choice was just a feeling.
Since she left the convent and saw Andrei's face, she decided to take him with her when leaving the Domfelt family.
He was competent, but if she was asked why she chose him, she had no answer.
Scarlett closed her lips tightly.
Victor tilted his head and asked: “Why?
Did you forget again?
You don’t know why this time either?”
“Yes”
Scarlett felt like a parrot, repeating the same words.
She couldn't understand anything about herf other than that.
"Was that an act too?
Acting like a crazy person?" Victor said.
Scarlett was unable to respond, so he continued: “Your lies have increased until I no longer know how to believe you.
It seems that everything that comes out of your mouth needs to be questioned.
Did you even love me?”
Scarlett's body, which was trembling with fear, anger, and tears, stopped as if it had surrendered.
She looked at him and said, “If that wasn’t love, what was it to you?”
“I don't know, so I ask”
Scarlett closed her eyes, feeling like she had lost so much.
"So, maybe it wasn't.
I made a mistake."
She bit her lip and added, "I've never received love before, so I don't know what it is.
Maybe I made a mistake.
Why didn't you love me?
If love is something that can be faked, why didn't you?"
“I said I loved you”
Scarlett laughed sarcastically: "So, it wasn't any of us.
Everything was fake.
Yes, I never loved you.
I just wanted to destroy you, l your life.
Is there anything else left?
If there's something I can exploit, I will.
Are we done?"
She pushed him toward the door, avoiding his eyes, and said, "If I understand, can you leave?
And whoever it is, Royal Police or whatever, bring Andre back.
I can't run the store without him."
Scarlett turned, went up to the workshop, closed the door, and collapsed in front of him.
I thought she was the one who didn't know what to believe.
Andrei regained consciousness after water splashed on his face.
He was tied to a chair.
He noticed a logo on the wall, it was at Navy Headquarters.
In the interrogation room, Victor smoked until the room was filled with smoke, waiting for him to wake up.
He said, "Shall we hurry?
Scarlett asked to bring you back quickly."
His tone seemed unhurried.
He pushed a pack of cigarettes to Andrey, who took one with his bound hands.
"How did you know?
My fake ID was perfect."
“My men reported that you are using Royal Constabulary combat techniques.”
“Ah”
“Then we confirmed that you asked the police to search for people.”
Andrei cursed himf for doing this despite knowing the risks, and asked: “What about the masked man?”
“Marine soldier”
“It was good”
“I'll fire him, if he loses to a cop.”
Andrei laughed indifferently and asked: “Are you going to kill me?”
“I said Scarlett asked for you back.”
Andrei’s expression seemed satisfied as he smoked for the first time in a while: “The director hates the smell of cigarettes, so I quit smoking.”
“Yes, you don't like her”
Victor agreed, but Andrei felt that it pressured him.
Victor asked: “Why were you near my ex-wife?”
“I was watching you, but the principal recruited me.
I was tempted by the opportunity.”
“Scarlett recruited a royal constable from among all the servants?”
“Yes”
“Not a conspiracy?”
Andrei laughed and said, “That’s right, you conspired.
We are partners.
A woman betrayed once, couldn’t she twice?
We planned to l all your information to the royal family.
The director is a great liar.”
Victor pointed, and one of his men slammed Andrei's head onto the table hard.
Andrei groaned and continued: “Why?”
“I don't like your behavior.”
“You told the truth.
Or do you think the director is not smart enough to lie so smoothly or rational enough to hide her feelings?”
“When you love, you don't know what to do?”
Victor pointed, and Andrey's hand let go.
Andrei muttered: “Unfortunately, the director is a disaster, so I got involved and was discovered.”
Victor approached, and Andrei stopped speaking out of prestige.
Victor put out his cigarette on the ground, grabbed Andrei’s chin, and raised his head: “What did you want as a spy?”
“I don't know”
“I said I wouldn't kill you”
He pressed his thumb on Andrei's tooth, and he groaned in pain and blood poured from his mouth.
Victor asked like a child: “What do you need?”
Andrei breathed heavily and said: “Don’t you know?”
“Would you have killed me if you had the chance?”
“Impossible”
“Did Scarlett help you?”
“Did you help me?”
Andrei laughed in a cold sweat: “How could the director help me kill you?
She is in love with you.”
He suddenly laughed and said, “You know what?
I manage all the money matters in the watch shop, and I manage the manager’s wealth as well.
If I want, I can impoverish her.”
“The manager trusts others like this, but no one trusts her.”
He muttered as he lost consciousness: “The poor director is the only one...”
“The poor manager alone...”
Late at night, Victor stood at his office window, disturbed by Andrei's words stuck in his mind.
It was strange that that word had not left his head.
He didn't have much to offer.
A royal policeman from a well-known family changes his identity to spy, Andrei said, perhaps intending to kill him if the opportunity arose.
While looking at the rain pouring outside the window, Ivan, returning from the investigation, said: “Who is involved is Crown Prince Yuli Eren.”
"That's obvious.
What about Scarlett?"
“He only laughs when I ask.
He is not fully conscious.”
“I will handle the investigation,” Victor said.
Ivan almost left, but Balin, who always spoke too much, said: “Are you going to investigate Miss too?”
Victor turned to him.
Evan quickly smiled: “Ignore him, I will punish him.”
Ivan kicked Palin and closed the door.
Balin rubbed his injured thigh and said, “I have to say what I have to say.”
Ivan scolded him: “You will destroy yourf with your tongue one day.”
Ivan quickly walked away.
