Several days later,
A lot had happened around Scarlett in the past few days since she found her mother.
Although news about Allaistar Parker was not heard in the media, there was an uproar over Allaistar's arrest in the royal family. The punishment for Allaistar had finally been decided: a death sentence.
Devastated by the embarrassing incident in her family, Melinda Gilwynn refused to meet anyone, including Roland and Scarlett. She locked herself at home.
Meanwhile, Theodor is suspected of involvement in the murder case that almost took Scarlett's life at the Canadian border several years ago. He had to be put under house arrest.
Scarlett knew Theodor was innocent. She tried to help him a few times by talking to Simon and her father, but they couldn't do anything. They only promised that Theodor wouldn't face severe punishment.
Sympathizing with Theodor and her aunt, Scarlett felt reluctant to leave the house in the last few days.
