NovelEnglishDamian's POV
"So the surprise you invited tonight was Scarlett Fuller?"
Oliver giveshis icon smirk: "You said you wanted to get to know her while looking into whether she's the real
Alice, no? So, | invited both of them." And neither of them showed up.
Waited late into the night, Oliver finally began to get nervous. Taking the tto rest, | close my eyes so | don't
have to see his guilty look.
"That's weird..." Oliver mumbles to himself, but makes it loud enough forto hear, "I was so sure that at least
Scarlett Fuller would come..."
| can't help my laugh escaping me, and Oliver hitson the shoulder with red ears.
"What?!" | laugh at him, "You have met them like what, twice?? What makes you so sure that--"
"I saw her eyes!" Oliver cutsoff with solemn look, "I recognize a clean look in them, it's like...like someone

up as | stomped on his tail, "And the red hair that looks exactly like Uncle Johnny?! | mean, how could you not

He purses his lips, glancing atwith his eyes narrowed.
| can't help laughing out loud and he blows up: "You do see! You already knew?! You knew it was her and not Ava
Fuller??! You bastard!!! I--"
"I really didn't, still don't actually,"

hands or | fear his fist would land on my face, "Ava Fuller is the right age with the right blood type, and she had

chance of them being recognized by their real parents, so."
"So what?!" Oliver rolls his eyes.
"So," | sigh at my hot-tempered brother, "I want a DNA test before | rush into things, okay? Besides, | want to
make sure that she wants to cback home."
"You mean if she DESERVES to be a Vanderbilt," Oliver snorts coldly.
"I mean, | don't mind splitting whatever heritage | might be able to get. I'd split with you, you know that. But | do
care if she might hurt Dad, again. Between her being alive but a person he can't love, I'd rather Alice stay as a
perfect daughter that is dead to him." Oliver sits down slowly, grumbling: "I guess you are right...We should take
it slowly."
