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 England 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 to compel her to comply.
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 just come 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 glared 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 England. You don’t have to be Rebecca’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 contemplate escaping.”
Travis seemed to have penetrated her thoughts with a single glance, 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?”

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 to comprehend why he would compel 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 Rebecca, why had he drawn so many portraits of hers after her death?
If he didn’t love Rebecca, 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 my companion 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, a lady named Susan is asking for you.”
Upon hearing that Susan was here, Scarlett hung up the phone and hastened downstairs.
