Chapter 5, Crow Family

Umm.... You guys must be greatly mistaken, Ms. Scarlett. My name isn't Mr. Crow, but Sett Crossword. I came from the Crossword family of Darian City. I don't know anything about the Crow family, so please let me go." Sett blurted out nervously that as much as he wished to look at Ms. Scarlett's assets, he had to leave, as who knew what this stranger would do to him?

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Crow. Rest assured, we aren't a hostile group, as I'm sent by the Crow family to be your aid."

"Do you even know my background? Why do you keep insisting that I'm Mr. Crow? " Sett smiled warily.

"Because you are." Scarlett confidently said. The look on her face implied that she was absolutely certain of it. Sett's mouth twitched. Was this sister joking with him?

They should investigate him first before jumping to conclusion that he is the so-called "Mr. Crow" or something.

He took a deep breath as it was already past seven o'clock and his sister at home would be worried sick about him.

"If you don't stop the car, I'll call the police." He put on a threatening face to look more convincing. Then he took out his phone, but deep inside he was panicking as Scarlett merely smiled without any sign of concern.

"You and the president are very identical, Mr. Crow." Ms. Scarlett smiled faintly, then began flipping through the documents on her lap.

Suddenly, Ms. Scarlett's countenance turned severe and her voice solemn. "Sett Crossword, the young master of the Crossword family, that's not it. Since you were exiled from the family and stripped of the title as the family heir, you are now considered an outsider of the Crossword family. Your parents also experienced an unfortunate accident. According to the reports, everyone calls you useless and fat.... Ahem, let's proceed... At the age of eighteen, you married the Laurel family missus and became the son-in-law of the Laurel family. Yet for some unknown reason, they changed their mind... From people's speculation, the Laurel family wanted a divorce."
