295 Meet Noah Withers (2)

Scarlett's smile faded as she saw the worry and suspicion in Noah's eyes. She took a deep breath and tried to explain...

"I know it's not the best way to approach you, but I had no choice. No one sent me. I came here to talk to you," Scarlett said. 

Noah furrowed his brows in confusion as he listened to Scarlett's words. 

"You wanted to talk to me and decided to trespass on my property? Aren't you afraid of me reporting you to the police?" He asked. 

Scarlett couldn't help but find amusement in her uncle's reaction. "I believe you won't call the police," she said calmly.

Noah gripped his weapon tightly.

"You seem very confident," he said, his voice cold and threatening. "Aren't you afraid I pulled the trigger?"

Scarlett took a deep breath. 

"Mister, you won't do that if you know who I am," she said, trying to keep her voice steady.
