Remorse After Breaking Up

Lillian brushed off Sebastian's bravado without a care. To her, he was just trying to intimidate her.

Suddenly, Sebastian leaned in and captured her luscious, soft lips, savoring them greedily.

Lillian was overwhelmed. Electric sensations surged through her body, momentarily overpowering her resistance as an inexplicable desire took hold.

It wasn't until she sensed the desire in Sebastian's eyes that she snapped out of her trance.

"Get off me!" Startled, Lillian pushed Sebastian away forcefully and bolted. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Ah, that was delightful!"

Sebastian closed his eyes, relishing the blissful sensation as the exquisite taste of her lips lingered on his.

He made no attempt to chase after Lillian. Since they lived under the same roof, he was confident he would eventually have his way with her.

…

It was the day of the bidding for the Skylink project two days later.

This billion-dollar contract was highly coveted by companies in Ravenview City. Lillian had nearly sacrificed her virtue for this project before.

Early in the morning, representatives from various companies gathered at the Shadowtiger Group's headquarters.

Among them was Lillian, accompanied by Evelyn, her secretary Lily Young, and the persistent Steven.

Since Steven learned that Lillian was still a virgin, his passion for her surged anew.

Yet, to claim it was simply reignited would be an understatement, for his longing for Lillian had never waned.

Even when Lillian told him two days ago that she was pregnant with Sebastian's child, he was only angry and had no intention of giving up.

Sebastian didn't come along with them, not because he didn't want to, but because Evelyn disagreed.

However, it didn't matter much anymore. After today, Evelyn would have no reason to intervene in his relationship with Lillian.

Sebastian arrived in Natalie's car. He was a bit late, and the bidding venue was already crowded when he walked in.

He immediately spotted Lillian and noticed an empty seat beside her. With no hesitation, he walked over and took a seat beside her.

"Sebastian, what are you doing here?" Steven, who was seated next to Lillian, turned around and immediately questioned him.

"Why can't I be here if you can?" Sebastian retorted.

"You can't compare yourself to me." Steven sneered. "This is the Shadowtiger Group's bidding event, not a gathering for just anyone.

"Take a look around, everyone here is somebody. What qualifications does a poor loser like you have to sit here?"

"It's none of your business!" Sebastian didn't tolerate his attitude.

Lily stood up immediately and glared at Sebastian. "How dare a country bum like you talk to Mr. Harris like that? Apologize at once!"

Evelyn was furious, too. "I can't stand people like you. Once this bidding event is over, I'll arrange for Lillian to divorce you.

"You're forbidden from bothering her any longer, let alone appearing in my presence. The sight of you disgusts me!"

"Your words hold no weight. Remember our bet. If I secure this bid for you, you must refrain from meddling in Lillian's and my affairs thereafter.

"Otherwise, even if you're Lillian's mother, I won't go easy on you!" Sebastian said coldly.

"Do you really think you can win the bidding? Don't overestimate yourself." Evelyn scoffed. "We'll secure the bid today, but not because of you.

"It's Steven who holds the key. He's tight with Kieran, and a simple word from him will seal the deal."

Sebastian's lips curled into a smirk as he retorted, "That's not necessarily true."

"Don't overestimate yourself." Steven sneered. "You won't have the slightest chance here. This isn't the place for you."

Then, Steven shouted to the nearby guards, "Security, we have an intruder."

Several security guards rushed over upon hearing that someone had infiltrated the premises. "Who dares to sneak in here?" one of the guards barked.

"It's him." Steven pointed at Sebastian.

"Show us your invitation." The guards surrounded Sebastian, their expressions hostile.

They would pounce on him immediately if Sebastian couldn't produce an invitation. After delivering a beating, they would toss him out.

Lillian couldn't stand by and watch. Just as she was about to intervene on Sebastian's behalf, a curvaceous woman approached. "He came with me. Any objections?"

The guards were taken aback at the sight of Natalie and quickly bowed in respect. "Ms. Green, we had no idea he came with you. We apologize for any offense," they hastily explained.

"Get lost!" Natalie commanded. Instantly, the guards scattered as if they had been granted a reprieve.

Though they appeared as corporate security, they were actually the Shadowtiger's members.

They usually exercised considerable authority, and hardly anyone dared to challenge them in Ravenview City. However, Natalie stood out as one of the untouchable figures in the city.

The reason behind it was unknown, but it was an order from Andrew.

Steven's eyes lit up with desire at the sight of Natalie.

While Natalie's appearance might not rival Lillian's, her voluptuous figure was undeniably alluring.

"Ms. Green, you said he came along with you. That's highly unlikely, isn't it?" Steven voiced his skepticism.

"What's so unlikely about it?" Natalie retorted.

"Ms. Green, he's nothing but a poor loser. How could you possibly know him?" Steven was baffled.

"How dare you insult Mr. Wilder?" Natalie scolded.

Then, she turned to Sebastian, addressing him with utmost respect. "Mr. Wilder, how would you like to handle this?"
