249 Truth Hurts The Most
"I told you, I'm not after your money nor your company," Scar says calmly, dropping the card on the table.
"Then what are you after? Why are you here with a card to helpfrom going bankrupt?" Letting the card
bouncing off the table, Sebastian grabs her wrist instead before she could pull back. He leans in so close that she
could smell his cologne, his head bent lower to nail her eyes as his whisper stiffens her body: "...why do you care
at all... Mrs...Knight?" "I'm not--!" Scar tries to swing his hand off, only to stop in the middle of her outburst,
glaring at him like a puffed balloonfish.
Sebastian curves his lips.
"You are not Mrs. Knight? | know."
Scar won't answer.
"You hate me, don't you?" Sebastian announces. The pain in his voice hidden well. "You hateso much that
you don't want anything to do with me, even if I'm handing you my everything. Why won't you say it out loud?"
Scar lowers her eyelids to prevent the man from seeing through her, but he continues--
"The Scar | knew would never talk toagain after what happened five years ago. She would cback and
smash her handbag in my face. She would clawand bitebefore spatting on my dead body and leaves like
the queen she was," Sebastian lets out a light laugh as if mocking the image he paints, "But you are not doing
any of that. You talks to me. You huggedand even kissedonce..."
Scar's heart skips a beat. In desperation, she closes her eyes. The man knows her too well. He saw through her.

You wantto give her the final blow when the tcomes, because you think that would hurt her the most. Is
that not your plan?" Scar snorts lightly, her voice cold enough to freeze air. With a blunt swing, she snaps her
wrist out of the man's grab.
"So you see through my plan, so what?! Using your hand is just the cheery on top, it won't hurt my plan in any
way! You can go ahead and get back to her, and go to hell with her when | send her there! You two heartless
monsters deserve each other!" Sebastian maintains the smile, but no longer able to hide the pain in his eyes.
Why bother? It's his pain that she's after.
"You want to hurt me? You are.” The
atel
man says slowly, his rough voice trembling with pain that he is no longer hold back, "You know what hurts the
most? It's that as much as you try to hide your hatred, as much as you want to trickinto thinking that you
are still into me, as much as you act as if you can giveanother chance, you can't tolerate
being close to me."
Scar opens her eyes wide. She didn't notice any of that. She did try to keep a calm mask with him. It never
occurred to her how much she hates him deeply in her heart.
The man smiles bitterly at her, his chest hurts so much that he grips his fist just so he can force out his words:
"Truth hurts the most, Scar. You can hurteasily, without you doing anything." "Truth hurts only when you care
about it," Scar lets out a cold laugh, "I don't see the truth of HER lie hurts you in anyway."
Her words are like little knives, cutting small but deep wounds on his heart. He gazes at the woman who was
once the best person he has ever known saying the cruelest words in the world. He does care, and it did hurt
him.
