“Dad!”
Just as Magnus was about to pounce on Lillian and indulge himself, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a young woman walked in.
She appeared to be around 18 years old, looking youthful, graceful and poised. Her slender waist, reminiscent of an hourglass, especially, seemed delicate enough to hold with one hand.
Magnus was initially angry at having his moment ruined. Upon seeing who it was, he suppressed his anger, as it turned out to be his daughter, Francesca Thorne.
“Francesca, you’re all grown up now. How can you still be so reckless? Why didn’t you knock before coming in?”
Francesca saw Lillian lying on the bed and immediately understood what was happening. “Dad, someone from the Osborne family has arrived,” Francesca informed him.
“Osborne family? Which one?” Magnus guessed. “Could it be the one from Seachurn?” “Yes, it’s Yvette Osborne, the eldest daughter of the Osborne family,” Francesca replied.
“Let’s go. We’ll greet our guest!”
Magnus didn’t care whether Lillian wanted to or not. He grabbed her with him as they went downstairs.
When Magnus reached the hall, he immediately saw Yvette.
Yvette’s looks might be slightly inferior to Lillian’s, but she was still stunning. Her beauty was one in a million.
Moreover, her outstanding temperament made her appear like a high and mighty princess. She was always the center of attention wherever she went.
What was more, she was accompanied by several guards, each exuding a menacing demeanor and an air of arrogance that made others hesitant to approach her.
Magnus hurried forward to greet her. “Ms. Osborne! Your esteemed presence honors us. I apologize for not welcoming you sooner.”
Magnus was extremely respectful.
Even though he had become the master of Supreme Nexus and stood at the pinnacle of power, he had to be humble in front of the eldest daughter of the Osborne family.
The Osborne family, who was a hidden family, was usually very low-key. However, their influence was beyond what ordinary people could imagine. Even Supreme Nexus paled in comparison to them.
“Congratulations, Celestial Master Thorne,” Yvette uttered.
“Thank you! Please, have a seat.” Magnus led Yvette to the frontmost seat in the middle while having her entourage sit nearby.
Magnus initially intended to bring Lillian along to greet other guests, but Yvette called out to him, “Celestial Master Thorne, please wait a moment. I have something I’d like to ask you.”
“Ms. Osborne, please feel free to ask whatever you want. I will definitely tell you everything I know,” Magnus urged with a fawning smile.
“Is the Supreme One really dead?” Yvette asked.
Lillian held her breath at this question. She, too, was eager to know the answer.
Although Magnus had repeatedly told her that Sebastian was dead, she had a feeling that he was lying to her.
Now that it was the Osborne family’s eldest daughter asking, Magnus definitely wouldn’t dare to lie.
“Yes. Absolutely,” Magnus confirmed.
Upon hearing that, Lillian immediately clutched her chest. There was a sharp pain that felt like her heart was shattered. Her tears streamed down uncontrollably.
Magnus was enraged when he saw her like this. It was such a slap in his face to have his new bride shed tears for another man. He secretly vowed that he would make her pay for it that night!
“Did you see him die with your own eyes?” Yvette continued to ask.
“Well, I didn’t. It was the leader of Novastar Organization who told me. It shouldn’t be false; otherwise, how could I have Supreme Nexus? Also, he liked this woman beside me very much. He would have stopped me if he were alive,” Magnus remarked with a lecherous smile.
Yvette thought Magnus’ words made sense. With that, her anger subsided considerably.
