Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1049

But now, the threat was breathing down his neck.

Yet, observing Ethan closely, Sebastian couldn't detect any romantic desperation or obsessive fawning over Lillian.

Instead, Ethan's actions felt purely designed to be an absolute menace.

Shoving a chair between them, forcing his way to the VIP table, and dropping his billionaire status just to flex—it was blatantly obvious to Sebastian that Ethan was only here to sabotage him.

But with Ethan revealing his true identity, the university officials at the table had no grounds to complain.

They had just spent the morning catering to Leonard Prescott, the true mastermind behind the Prescott Group. Having the CEO of that same massive organization sitting beside Lillian was perfectly natural.

The Prescott Group heavily funded St. Kingsley and recruited heavily from their graduating class.

Ethan Hayes had every right to demand a seat at the table.

So, the reality of the situation was settled.

While everyone else enthusiastically welcomed Ethan, Sebastian was entirely cut off from Lillian.

Lillian's tense posture relaxed, a genuine smile returning to her face. As long as she didn't have to sit next to Sebastian, she was perfectly happy.

Sebastian, however, was fuming. Abandoning all pretense of politeness, he glared at Ethan. "Don't you think this is highly inappropriate, Mr. Hayes?

Wedging yourself between Ms. Mercer and me is incredibly rude, wouldn't you agree?"

Ethan didn't miss a beat. He rolled his eyes directly in Sebastian's face in front of the entire VIP table. "What's the matter, Mr. Blake? Desperate to rub shoulders with Ms. Mercer?

Our boss has an absolute aversion to toxic people. If she has to sit next to you, she's going to lose her appetite completely.

So, you're just going to have to endure my terrible manners."

After delivering the verbal beatdown, Ethan shot a scathing glare at Vice Chancellor Rhodes, the man responsible for the seating chart.

What the hell was he thinking, giving this bastard a chance to get close to Lillian?
