Remorse After Breaking Up

Lillian took off her coat before pausing. She blushed and said to Sebastian, "Can you turn around, please?"

"It's not like I haven't seen you naked before. Plus, you're stripping just for me right now," Sebastian said with a grin as he sat back on the bed.

Lillian found that reasonable and so quickly took her skirt off. She was left in nothing but her underwear now.

Sebastian continued admiring her body. Though this wasn't his first time doing so, it still pleased him to no end.

Lillian was flushed to her ears. Even though she'd slept with Sebastian once before, she didn't remember anything about that night. So, this was no different than her first time to her.

"Have some water first." Sebastian got Lillian a glass of water which the former took a small sip of.

Sebastian smiled wickedly. He then lifted Lillian and sat her down on the bed.

"Be gentle, please. This is my first time." Lillian was incredibly nervous and fearful.

But those feelings didn't last for very long. She soon began feeling tired before eventually falling asleep.

Sebastian took out a small box and began performing acupuncture on Lillian with some needles.

Her heart condition was incredibly serious. Though Sebastian had treated her last time, he hadn't entirely cured her of her ailment, which was why she needed another treatment.

After Sebastian was done, he laid Lillian in bed and covered her with the sheets.

He then gave Natalie a call and told her, "Come fetch me from the Raven Hotel."

Sebastian exited the hotel half an hour later when Natalie arrived in a Mercedes-Benz at the entrance. She asked, "Where are you heading, Mr. Wilder?"

"To the office."

Sebastian had been living in his office at the company for the past few days. There was a private space in it with a bed and daily necessities where Sebastian lived comfortably.

He hadn't bought a place of his own yet. He had no family, so there was no point in doing so.

Soon after Sebastian returned to his office, Tyler drove with Maria to Phoenix Corp.

"Is the Supreme One really in there, hon?" Maria asked.

"Of course he is. One of my friend's brothers works here. He told him that the Supreme One had arrived at Ravenview City a couple of days ago. Most people haven't heard of this yet, so we need to seize this golden opportunity!

"Our family will be able to upgrade ourselves if we can make a good impression on the Supreme One. It won't be long before we surpass the four prestigious families!"

Tyler got more excited as he went on. It was as if he was already seeing how bright his future would be.

"C'mon, let's go." Tyler then led Maria to the office entrance.

Maria quickly touched up her makeup and unbuttoned a button on her shirt, revealing more skin. She had her own ulterior motive which was to try and appeal to the Supreme One.

Maria's status would greatly increase even if she was just taken as his lover. The four prestigious families would have to treat her with utmost respect from then on.

"Stop right there! What's your business here?" two bodyguards questioned the moment they saw Maria and Tyler approaching.

"My name is Tyler Cadwell from the Cadwell family. This is my fiancée, Maria Lisbon of the Lisbon family.

"Please let the Supreme One know we're here to pay our respects," Tyler said humbly, even though the security guards were nothing more than guard dogs to him.

Since the security guards worked for Phoenix Corporation, they naturally had to be treated with an extra level of respect.

"Wait here," one of the guards said before heading into the office.

Instead of reporting to Sebastian, the guard informed Natalie. After all, the Supreme One didn't entertain guests so easily.

"Let them in," Natalie said. She knew who Tyler and Maria were, especially since the former's family was a pretty prominent one in Ravenview City.

As for Maria, she was Sebastian's ex-fiancée and had called off their engagement after looking down on him. Instead, Maria was now engaged to Tyler.

The security guards soon brought Maria and Tyler over to Natalie's office.

Tyler lusted over Natalie's sexy figure but didn't dare show it. Natalie was the Green family's eldest daughter, after all, as well as the Supreme One's secretary. Tyler couldn't afford to cross her.

"Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Green. I'm Tyler Cadwell, and this is my fiancée, Maria Lisbon," Tyler said humbly alongside Maria.

"You two wish to see the Supreme One?" Natalie asked.

"Yes. We humbly ask for your help to inform the Supreme One about this," Tyler said with a smile.

"The Supreme One is an incredibly busy man and has no time whatsoever for you two. Please leave now if you have no further business here," Natalie said, annoyed.

"Ms. Green, we plan to host our wedding at Raven Hotel soon and pray that the Supreme One can grace us with his presence," Tyler said.

He took out a credit card and a wooden box. "There's 50 million dollars in this card and a century- old Dragon Root in this box, as a token of gratitude to the Supreme One."

"Wait here, then." Natalie took the items and went to Sebastian's office.

"Mr. Wilder, Tyler Cadwell and Maria Lisbon are hosting their wedding soon and would like to invite you as a guest. Do you need me to kick them out for you?" Natalie asked Sebastian.

"No need. Tell them I'll attend the wedding." Sebastian examined the Dragon Root. This was a very rare and near-priceless herb. He was going to keep it.

"Huh?" Natalie was shocked. Still, she didn't question Sebastian and went to inform Tyler and Maria of the news right away.

Tyler and Maria were extremely thrilled knowing the Supreme One would be attending their wedding.

The Cadwell family's status would be greatly boosted that way. At that point, the entire city of Ravenview would be vying for the Cadwell family's favor!

…

Two weeks went by.

Sebastian was in the middle of being massaged by Natalie when he received an unknown phone call.

"Hello? Is this Mr. Wilder?" A delightful feminine voice rang out.

"Is this Lillian Smith?" Sebastian asked uncertainly.

"Yes."

"Why do you have my number? I don't remember giving it to you."

"It was in your hotel registration log," Lillian explained.

"So, you went back to the hotel just to get my number. Why? Did you miss me?" Sebastian grinned.

Lillian ground her teeth angrily on the other end of the call. Sebastian had slept with her twice now and she'd been unconscious during both times. The mere thought of it pissed Lillian off to no end.

"I just wanted to let you know that Grandpa wants to invite you to an event tomorrow," Lillian gritted out. She wouldn't have voluntarily contacted Sebastian if Elijah hadn't specifically told her to.

"Send me the date and time. I'll be there on time." Sebastian then hung up the call.

Soon, he received the details from Lillian. Elijah's event was to be held at Raven Hotel tomorrow at 9:00 am.

"What a coincidence," Sebastian chuckled.

Tyler and Maria's wedding was going to be held tomorrow at the Raven Hotel, too.
