Remorse After Breaking Up

Steven panicked immediately. "Ms. Green, don't be fooled by him. He's not some wealthy heir, not even close to being a catch. He's just a swindler from the streets.

"Don't let him charm you into being swindled, both financially and romantically," he warned, though his intentions were fueled by jealousy.

In Steven's eyes, Sebastian was nothing but a poor loser. Yet, he had managed to marry Lillian. Even if it was just on paper, it still filled Steven with envy.

Natalie and Lillian were well-known socialites in Ravenview City, admired for their impressive backgrounds and beauty. Many men would envy having just one of them, yet Sebastian had both.

As the Harris family's heir, it deeply frustrated Steven to see Sebastian enjoying these two desirable women's company. Despite his status, Steven couldn't win either Natalie's or Lillian's affection.

"I'm not bothered about money. Even if he tries to swindle me financially, I'm okay with it," Natalie replied casually.

"But what if he swindles you romantically? You'll regret it," Steven persisted.

He wanted Natalie to leave Sebastian. Even if he couldn't have her himself, he couldn't bear the thought of a poor nobody like Sebastian having her.

"Swindle me romantically?"

Natalie's eyes shimmered with amusement as she glanced at Sebastian. "I wouldn't mind if he tried to swindle me, but what matters most is his willingness," she said coyly.

Steven's eyes widened in disbelief. Natalie was actually willing to be deceived romantically by Sebastian. What's more, it seemed Sebastian wasn't interested.

How could a poor nobody like Sebastian have the charm to captivate both Natalie and Lillian?

Natalie paid him no heed. She looked at Sebastian, awaiting his response.

Sebastian shook his head lightly. To him, Steven was nothing more than a mere clown, unworthy of his attention. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

If he became too bothersome, he could easily dispose of him with a mere flick of his hand.

Since Sebastian was reluctant to pursue the matter further, Natalie decided to drop it. She simply said goodbye to him and left.

After Natalie left, Evelyn no longer felt restrained. She turned to Sebastian and scolded angrily, "You're utterly despicable.

"How dare you already have your eye on someone else before even divorcing my daughter? Shame on you."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Natalie and I are just colleagues," Sebastian explained truthfully.

Though Natalie was his secretary and undeniably beautiful, he harbored no ill intentions toward her —at least, not at the moment.

"Natalie is the Green family's heiress and currently serves as the Supreme One's secretary. Do you also work at Phoenix Corporation?" Evelyn retorted sarcastically.

Despite Sebastian having cured Elijah's poison, Evelyn didn't consider him particularly capable. She thought he was merely lucky.

"Just look at him." Steven sneered. "Even if he did work at Phoenix Corporation, he'd likely be no more than a security guard. In essence, he's just a watchdog."

Lily quickly chimed in, "Mr. Harris is absolutely correct, Ms. Smith. You must be vigilant. Mr. Harris is an outstanding man, and he's genuinely devoted to you.

"Meanwhile, Sebastian is nothing but a poor nobody, preying on wealthy women for money and affection. You mustn't fall for his tricks."

"That's right. After the bidding is over, you two will immediately proceed with the divorce. We'll pick a day for you to get engaged to Steven," Evelyn declared.

Lillian remained silent, but inside, she felt incredibly uncomfortable.

Despite Sebastian often bullying her, causing her great frustration, seeing him with other women still unsettled her. It felt as if someone was trying to snatch away something that belonged to her.

"Ha. You're just a lowly security guard, yet you act like you own the place." Lily scoffed with disdain.

Soon after, the bidding began. Major companies submitted their proposals and took turns to present on stage.

Lillian had prepared thoroughly for this, and the Smith Group was notably strong. Under normal circumstances, their chances of winning the bid were at least 50 percent.

However, other companies were equally well-prepared and were offering crazy discounts. They seemed unconcerned about profit margins, solely aiming to align themselves with Andrew.

While Andrew wasn't part of the four prestigious families, his influence rivaled theirs. His connections with Phoenix Corporation were well-known, too.

Aligning with Andrew was akin to indirectly aligning with the Supreme One.
