Chapter 184
Lillian had a clear distinction between grudges. She’d previously misunderstood Sebastian at the hotel, and she felt bad about it.
Now that the others were wrongly criticizing Sebastian, she got angry.
“Why is it not his fault? If he hadn’t brought that bottle of wine, none of this would’ve happened. I don’t care, but you must pay for it!” Belinda sneered.
“I don’t want to waste my time with you. Let’s go back to our room, Lillian.” Sebastian took Lillian’s hand and walked toward their room.
“You cannot leave,” Belinda said as she grabbed Sebastian’s arm. She snarled, “You must pay for this!”
“Let go!” Sebastian gazed at her coldly.
“If you don’t pay, I won’t let go!” Belinda said.
Pushed to his limits, Sebastian slapped Belinda.
Belinda held her cheek in disbelief. She said, “How dare you slap me?”
Angered, Jamie said, “Sebastian, you’ve gone too far! She’s an elder; how can you slap her?”
“If she’s an elder, she should behave like one. I’m warning you don’t mess with me,” Sebastian said, preparing to return to the room with Lillian.
“Wait, Sebastian.”
Elijah stopped Sebastian. He continued, “This is not your fault, but we are a family. Why don’t you talk to Ms. Quirrel so that she lets Lyra go?”
“Sebastian, why don’t… you talk to Ms. Quirrel?” Lillian said.
Sebastian thought Lyra deserved it. He didn’t want to help, but since Lillian had asked, he agreed to help.
He gave Zia a call, and soon enough, Zia arranged for someone to send Lyra home.
“Let’s go back to our room, Lillian.”
Sebastian could sense that Lillian had developed feelings for him. He planned to win her over tonight and sleep with her as a genuine husband and wife.
“Sebastian, you can go back to your room first. I have some things to talk to Lillian about,” said Elijah.
Sebastian nodded, then returned to the room alone.
“Grandpa, what is it?” Lillian asked curiously.
“I’m not the one who wanted to talk to you. It’s Mr. Adamos,” Elijah explained.
“Mr. Adamos?” Lillian asked, confused.
“Chris Adamos. Just wait for a moment. He’ll be right here,” Elijah said, smiling.
Just then, a housekeeper brought in a man donned in branded goods from head to toe. It was Chris, who had been gone for a long time.
When Chris saw Lillian, his eyes lit up.
“It’s been a while, Ms. Lillian.”
Lillian could sense the possessiveness that Chris had toward her. It made her uncomfortable.
“What business do you have with me, Mr. Adamos?”
Smiling, Chris said, “I know Smith Group is struggling to make ends meet now. I’m here to gift you with a big project that can help Smith Group return to its glory or even expand the business.”
Lillian looked at the project order, and she was shocked at what she saw.
“This is a ten-billion-dollar project!”
Lillian was shocked. It was a ten-billion-dollar order from Phoenix Corporation, and the terms were beneficial to Smith Group. It would bring several billion dollars of profit; they were practically giving them money for free.
With this project, Smith Group would definitely be better than before, and the Smith family would become the most prestigious family again.
Chris said proudly, “That’s right. I fought really hard for you. I just need you to agree to one condition, and we can sign the contract immediately.”
“What condition?” Lillian asked warily.
She sensed that Chris was up to no good.
Chris smiled pervertedly and said, “I want you to marry me!”
