Sebastian's gaze slowly swept across her face.
Her absolute determination to flip the table and ruin everything was clear as day.
A moment passed.
Then, he slowly opened his mouth. "Alright."
His calm tone and decisive answer...
Left Raelynn staring at him in sheer disbelief.
She refused to believe Sebastian didn't understand what kind of situation they would all face if this was escalated to an attempted murder investigation.
And yet.
Sebastian was indulging Seraphina's desire to tear the world apart!
Perhaps sensing Raelynn's trembling gaze, he turned slightly, looking right at her, though his words were aimed at Seraphina. "If you have your suspicions, it should naturally be investigated."
Seraphina hadn't expected Sebastian to side with her so completely.
After being rejected by him over a minor issue earlier, she had been anxious and full of doubt. But now, she realized she had just been overthinking.
Sebastian still cared for her.
Because he cared for her, he had no problem nailing Raelynn to the defendant's stand.
Her eyes brimmed with tears. "If it weren't for you, Sebastian, I probably would have had to swallow this injustice..."
In truth, she wasn't one hundred percent certain about what happened.
But she truly believed Raelynn had the motive to do it.
Since Raelynn wanted to play dirty, blowing this up was just her protecting her own rights.
When the time came...
Once the Yves family found out Raelynn had tried to murder their precious daughter, Chairwoman Hayes would view Raelynn with absolute disgust and sever all ties. Whether the Yves family would retaliate against Raelynn remained to be seen, but at the very least, it would guarantee Raelynn could never associate with them or Chairwoman Hayes ever again.
Cutting off those connections was a massive win.
Raelynn's expression was icy. She found it all completely absurd.
Seraphina was a complete lunatic.
And Sebastian was a lust-blinded enabler.
What she found even more unbelievable was his attitude. "Do you truly believe I'm capable of doing something like this?"
Raelynn scoffed, unsure if she should mock herself or the situation.
Was he strictly preventing her from tampering with evidence, or was he trying to convey something else?
But whatever his intention was.
It was enough to send a surge of burning anger straight to Raelynn's throat.
She clenched her fists, and finally let out a bitter laugh. "Whatever you want."
She turned and walked briskly away.
Walter immediately followed closely behind her.
Sebastian's gaze locked onto her retreating back.
A moment later.
A vehicle pulled up to the curb.
Seraphina was already breaking out in a cold sweat from the pain. "Sebastian? Let's get in. I need to get this wound treated quickly."
Only then did Sebastian retract his gaze.
He turned and got into the car.

I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
