Raelynn was stunned.
Absolute disbelief washed over her face.
She had genuinely believed Ian was here to compete openly, bringing her along so she wouldn't feel deceived or kept in the dark.
She never in a million years expected...
He was withdrawing the bid?
Sebastian's expression remained perfectly still, but his gaze turned freezing cold.
His brow lowered a fraction before he finally spoke. "What game are you playing, Ian?"
Ian met his stare. "I'm saying you underestimated my feelings for Raelynn. You belittled my sincerity, which is why you never saw this coming."
"I'm in love with her, Sebastian. Much more deeply than you could ever comprehend."
Although Ian's voice was low enough for only the three of them to hear, every word struck like a hammer.
It was impossible to ignore.
Sebastian sat half-hidden in the dim lighting, making it impossible to read the true emotions swirling on his face.
Ian's words echoed loudly.
Love. Commitment. Willingly giving it all up.
Ian was declaring his ultimate devotion and resolve to Raelynn right in front of him.
After a long pause, his lips curled into a smirk. "You haven't even officially taken over The Hudson Family yet, Mr. Hudson. Are you so sure you can convince your board to swallow this?"
"That's my problem," Ian replied smoothly. "As long as you understand exactly where I stand with her."
The surrounding hall was buzzing with noise.
Yet their immediate area felt completely stripped of sound.
Raelynn was too dumbfounded to even process a reaction.
She was truly reeling.
She had done her research on this plot of land. It had been the center of a bloodbath years ago.
It was prime real estate, something countless corporations would slaughter each other for.
And Ian, who had the strongest backing to win it, had actually... withdrawn.
Sebastian stopped flicking his lighter, an impenetrable glint flashing in his eyes as he assessed his rival.

No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
The croix family is evil...
