Elsa slapped Lyra again and coldly asked, “Did you not hear me when I told you to shut up?”
Lyra was so scared she immediately turned pale and fell silent.
Everyone else’s shock was apparent.
They had expected that Elsa would get angry. However, they hadn’t expected Lyra to be the target of her rage.
Instead of getting angry at Sebastian, she left everyone puzzled when she lashed out at Evelyn and Lyra, who had been flattering her.
“Elsa, what’s wrong?” Bradfort stepped forward to ask, as he was the only one who dared to do so at that moment.
Elsa didn’t respond to him; she just looked at Sebastian with eyes filled with guilt.
“Sebastian, long time no see.”
Everyone was surprised to hear what Elsa said.
It seemed like not only did she know Sebastian, but she also had some kind of relationship with him.
“Yes, it’s been a long time. It’s been so long that I don’t remember you,” Sebastian replied calmly. Elsa’s sudden appearance didn’t stir any strong emotions in him.
“I know you’re still mad at me. I did wrong back then, but I will make it up to you. Whether it’s money or power, you can ask for it. I’ll try my best to meet all your requests,” Elsa said.
Sebastian shook his head with a smile. “All of that means nothing to me. You don’t need to compensate me. You don’t owe me anything. I only have a question. Have you ever regretted it?”
“Never!” Elsa exclaimed without hesitation. “Strength and power have been my lifelong goals. I can do whatever it takes to achieve these goals. Now that my wish is about to be fulfilled, how could I possibly have any regrets?”
“In that case, would you come back to me?” Sebastian asked again.
Everyone was stunned. They sensed some history between the two but hadn’t expected they were once a couple.
Elsa was silent for a moment, then instead of answering, she asked, “I heard that you retired shortly after I left. What have you been up to?”
“I started a company and formed a faction.”
“How big is the company?” Elsa pressed. “What kind of faction?”
With a smile, Sebastian uttered, “That’s a secret for now. You’ll find out later.”
Jordan sneered upon hearing that. “Elsa, don’t listen to his bragging. This punk married into the Lynch family and was kicked out not long ago. Now, he’s just an unemployed bum who’s always boasting and causing trouble. Anyone here is ten times more capable than him!
“Is what Jordan said true?” Elsa asked Sebastian.
“That depends on who you believe,” Sebastian replied.
Jordan quickly interjected, “Elsa, you wouldn’t doubt your brother’s words, would you? Everything I said is true. You can ask anyone here.”
“Mr. Hunter is right,” Evelyn hastily echoed. “He used to be my son-in-law. He was a lazy good-for-nothing who lived off others. We kicked him out when we couldn’t put up with him anymore.”
Elsa let out a deep sigh as she gazed at Sebastian. “You used to be content just to exist-no goals, no drive just perfectly happy in your little corner. I thought you would improve after I left, but not only did you not improve, you actually got worse. How disappointing.” “All this talk is just to tell me that I’m not worthy of you now, isn’t it?” Sebastian asked.
