Sebastian brought Lillian to Misty Oak Villa.
“You’re not Celestial Master Thorne. Who are you really?” Lillian immediately sensed something was off as soon as she arrived at Misty Oak Villa.
When she was still at Phoenix Corporation, she overheard Magnus and Nathaniel’s conversation about how Lord Hydra and the others were hiding at Misty Oak Villa.
Considering how Magnus was wary of Misty Oak Villa, he would never come here rashly.
Sebastian didn’t answer her directly but led her into a room instead.
“Who exactly are you?” Lillian asked again.
“Who do you think I am?” Sebastian responded with a question and then removed the mask he had made.
“Sebastian! You’re alive!” Lillian cried tears of joy.
When she heard from Magnus that Sebastian had died saving her, she was overwhelmed with guilt and sorrow. Now, she felt immensely relieved when she saw Sebastian alive.
“You’ll stay here for now. If you need anything, you can ask the people outside.”
Not knowing how to face her, Sebastian turned to leave after saying this.
Lillian wasn’t a bad person; on the contrary, she was kind and loyal to her family, which was commendable. But it was also her flaw. Her family treated her poorly, and she still foolishly gave them everything. This was a form of misguided familial love.
“Wait!” Lillian called out to Sebastian. “Were you the one from yesterday?”
“Who are you talking about?” Sebastian turned back and asked.
Lillian blushed crimson instantly. “The Supreme One I met at the pavilion yesterday.”
Sebastian didn’t respond and turned away, but Lillian already knew the answer.
Yesterday, she willingly seduced the Supreme One because of her family’s desperate pleas to save the company from collapsing. This was a nightmare she wanted to forget.
Now that she knew it was Sebastian, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Her body had been laid bare more than once to Sebastian long ago. It wouldn’t matter if he saw her naked one more time.
Meanwhile, back at Phoenix Corporation’s office, Magnus nearly demolished the office as he erupted in rage. Nathaniel’s dispatched men had returned from the Smith family empty- handed because someone had already taken Lillian’s grandfather and parents.
He wouldn’t be able to force Lillian into showing herself.
Seething with anger, he eventually vented his fury and sexual frustration on Lyra.
Two days flew by in the blink of an eye.
Early that morning, Sebastian set off with Joseph and Zia.
The invitation was Joseph’s, and only three people were allowed to use it. Sebastian instructed Lord Drakaria and Gina to stay behind at Misty Oak Villa and focus on practicing.
