Remorse After Breaking Up Chapter 249

All of this was the Smiths’ own doing. They sought trouble and ran into a wall without realizing it, which was both sad and pathetic.

“Thank you for helping me out back there,” Sebastian said to Esme. Though he didn’t need her help, he appreciated the gesture.

Esme’s smile was enchanting. “You saved my father’s life. That makes you a benefactor of the Bailey family. Helping you was the least I could do.”

“Why are you here alone? Where are your parents and brother?” Sebastian asked curiously.

Normally, each invitation allowed up to three guests, and people would make the most of this to attend the prestigious event.

After all, participating in the supreme banquet was something to boast about, and meeting the Supreme One was an honor. If one were fortunate enough to earn the Supreme One’s favor, the benefits would be considerable.

However, Sebastian had a different perspective.

People didn’t know his true identity, and those attending the banquet often exposed their worst sides in front of him. The Smiths and the Hunters were prime examples.

“My father is still recovering, so my mother took him on a trip, and my brother is handling family business. That leaves just me,” Esme replied with a smile.

Despite Misty Oak Hotel typically being quiet with few guests, its spacious hall could easily accommodate several hundred people. Today, the hall was bustling with at least 200 guests in attendance, all of whom hailed from influential and wealthy top-tier families.

Since the banquet hadn’t started yet, people were mingling and chatting around.

Sebastian and Esme’s arrival quickly drew everyone’s attention, largely due to Esme herself. As Dragotha’s finest lady, the heiress of the Bailey family, and the belle of Divinopolis, Esme naturally became the center of attention. Even among the assembled elites, she stood out brilliantly.

“Ms. Bailey!” they greeted her with smiles full of flattery.

“Ms. Bailey is so beautiful. She’s like an angel descended from heaven.”

“It’s no wonder she’s the prettiest nationwide. Her figure and beauty are truly unmatched in the world,” people murmured in awe. Several men were even drooling as they looked at her. “Hey, who’s the man with her?” Someone noticed Sebastian and Esme standing together. “Sebastian!” Harrison Zatch, the eldest son of the Zatch family, called out Sebastian’s name. Harrison immediately approached Sebastian and Esme. He first flashed what he thought

was a charming smile at Esme. “Esme, I intended to come with you, but when I went to your house yesterday, your brother said you had already left for Ravenview City. Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”

In the past, when Travis was still influential, no man dared to approach Esme. But now that Travis was out of the picture, those who had feelings for her no longer held back. Harrison was one of them.

Harrison had initially been pursuing Jenny, but after the incident, Jenny started ignoring him. With Travis no longer a threat, Harrison set his sights on Esme, who was even more desirable.

“Mr. Zatch, we’re not close. I can do what I want. Why should I inform you beforehand?” Esme snapped.

Harrison’s expression showed a brief flash of embarrassment. “Esme, you know how I feel about you. I swear, I’ll marry no one but you. Give me a chance to take care of you,” he pleaded.

As Harrison reached out to grab Esme’s hand, she was infuriated and intended to avoid him. But before she could, Sebastian grabbed Esme’s arm and pulled her aside.
