NovelEnglishWhile Alda was naive, Sylvie was a stark contrast as she refused to lose even in banter.
"What, you don't want to keep the other leg too? I'll help!" she snapped, threatening to advance on Scar.
That in turn triggered an instinctive fear in him, but it soon faded as he huffed, "I admit that you're better than I think, but times have changed! Violence decides nothing-money is everything, and you'll suffer if you mess with money! "Also, look at the people around me. Do you think they can't kill you?!" With those words, Scar and Fosco shared a smile-they were acquainted, but not particularly close.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, Scar called him over because he was basically a rich playboy who goofed off. And with the Stiltons' riches, he would be rushing ahead of anyone else once he found out about such hidden riches.
Fosco was no fool himself either. Knowing that his family was not the richest and that there were enemies he should not make, he had done his homework before coming.
That was why he was smiling smugly, like he had already won.
However, after hanging out together for a couple of days, Sylvie also learned who Alda really was. The only person who had the guts to brag about being richer than her would have to be Fosco! "How boring," she said with a snort. "That's all you can do? Be careful not to hit the door on your way out!" However, Scar still had his fantasies about her and was gloating. "Now you know what it means to have power, girl! Just cwith me, and I promise you'll have everything you want!" "Fuck you!" Fosco was snapping at Scar even before Sylvie could. "Why don't you look in the mirror first? You think you deserve that babe? Give up right now, or I'll make you pay!" Scarface was certainly helpless as Fosco threatened him. "Didn't we agree, man? She's mine..." "Who's we? You never toldthat she's feisty!" Sylvie was clearly blunt in contrast to Alda's delicate maiden demeanor, but Alda was taller and had the air of nobility. Was there anyone who would dislike that? Content belongs to en.kikistoriesOn the other hand, Scar could kill Fosco on the spot.
But there was nothing he could do, even if Fosco broke their agreement so openly-like Fosco had put it, money was everything.
"Well, I wouldn't try to take anyone from you... but I think the other girl's quite good too," he said.
Even though he was trying to be reasonable, Fosco refused to budge, even snapping at him, "What, do I look like I'm a charity?! Sure, I didn't have my eye on her at first, but that doesn't mean I dislike her! What, are you trying to take what's mine now?!" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesFosco was completely dismissive of Scar, clearly banking on the importance of his family.
It was a loss and an embarrassment on top of that, but Scar had to suck it up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs he hung his head in silence, his fellow thugs were stunned.
Scar always got to strut back at their village, but here, he was not even afforded dignity.
Money truly opened many doors! "Are you done sharing?" Sylvie snapped, clearly impatiently just then.
"Con, girl! That's wrong-you're a person, not an object. There's no sharing humans!" Fosco remained businesslike as he gestured at the drivers, who caught their cue.
At the stime, Fosco continued, "I'm Fosco Stilton, the sole heir to the Stilton family. We're more or less a big deal, so would you ladies mind trading numbers before we hang out tonight?" Content belongs to en.kikistories"I guess he's done. In that case, it's tto make your shining appearance, Ms. Ingram!" Sylvie nudged Alda just then, who scowled as she strode up to Fosco.
