Sebastian chuckled wryly at Lillian’s words. “You folks are truly beyond reason. Whether it was last time or this time, wasn’t it always you guys stirring up trouble for me?”
Furious, Evelyn shot back, “You’re here to cause trouble, so of course, we have to stop you and kick you out before you do.”
“And what makes you so sure I’m here to cause trouble?” Sebastian asked.
Evelyn responded coldly, “Let’s not even mention the last time. Today is the supreme banquet, and only those with an invitation can attend. What else could a loser like you be here for if not to stir up trouble?”
A glint of coldness flashed in Sebastian’s eyes as he replied, “First of all, you’re no longer my mother-in-law. If you dare call me a loser again, I’ll slap you!”
Evelyn’s fury spiked at his words, and she almost lost her temper. Fortunately, Lillian quickly held her back.
Knowing Sebastian’s temper, Evelyn reluctantly backed down.
Lillian looked at Sebastian and said, “I apologize on behalf of my mother, but she does have a point. I hope you’ll leave. If you have any conditions, just let me know and I’ll try to meet them.”
“You all think too highly of yourselves. My presence here has nothing to do with any of you, “Sebastian sneered.
Evelyn was skeptical. She smirked and said, “What else could you be here for if not to cause trouble? Are you seriously claiming you’re here for the supreme banquet?”
“That’s exactly why I’m here,” Sebastian replied.
Evelyn and the others burst into laughter, acting as if they had just heard the funniest joke ever.
“Did you hear what he said? He claims he’s here for the supreme banquet. That’s hilarious,” Evelyn sneered.
Jordan chuckled and mocked, “Do you even realize what you’re saying? This is the exclusive supreme banquet that’s reserved for the elite. You’re just a poor loser. If you were still with the Smith family, you might’ve been able to experience this for yourself.
“Now that you’re an outcast, you don’t even have the right to sweep the floor outside.”
“Indeed, you’re nothing after leaving the Smith family,” Evelyn sneered.
Lyra quickly chimed in, “Exactly. Don’t think you can just sneak in behind us like the last time. You won’t even be able to get through the door given your current status!”
While Elijah and Jordan remained silent, their expressions were filled with disdain and
sarcasm.
“I never needed to finagle my way in. If I don’t show up tonight, this event won’t be happening!” Sebastian declared proudly.
“Oh, you’re quite full of yourself. From the way you talk, one might mistake you for some kind of VIP,” Evelyn teased.
At that moment, Jordan brandished an invitation in front of Sebastian. “See this? It’s the invite to the supreme banquet. Only those with an invite can get in. Do you have one?”
“I don’t need an invitation. That’s because I don’t need it. Even without an invitation, I can stroll right in-unlike you guys. Even with an invite, you might not make the cut,” Sebastian remarked cryptically.
“Kid, are you trying to kill me with laughter? Dream on if you think you’re getting in without an invitation,” Jordan chuckled heartily.
Ronan couldn’t resist a jab either. “Self-awareness is a virtue, but sadly, you lack it.”
Evelyn and the others chimed in with their own sarcastic remarks.
Sebastian couldn’t be bothered with their banter, so he sent a message to Zia on his phone.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s stop wasting time with them and head in,” Elijah impatiently suggested.
