Scarlett just rolled her eyes like every rebellious teenager
"I just want them to stop calling us criminals"
James looked at his daughter pitifully
"Nobody will call you a criminal anymore....You are now Scarlett Bellingham", he said slowly
Then he kissed her forehead
Scarlett slowly squeezed her eyes shut
"I remember .....", she whispered to herself
"I remember every word from you, Daddy"
Everything suddenly made sense because she knew her father knew it was Patrick Maguire who framed him but she still didn't know why he still protected him
She remembered how Patrick Maguire had controlled the narrative before her father even had a chance to defend himself
Scarlett wiped her tears away and slowly sadness began to change into more determination
She looked down at the old photograph one final time before she carefully placed it back into the leather case together with other documents
Then she closed the case as a soft click echoed through the abandoned study
