Angus didn’t want her to leave, but he understood she needed time to adjust. He kept telling her to visit often and sent a car and bodyguards with her.
In the car, Noelle leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.
Sebastian sat next to her and held her hand. He said gently, “The Guzmans care about you. Your grandpa and uncles really adore you. Mrs. Guzman is extreme and messed up, but her desire to find you and her regret now are real.”
He paused, then his tone turned serious. “But Wesley…”
“You noticed something was off too?” Noelle opened her eyes and looked at him.
Sebastian nodded, his gaze sharp. “He smiles and tries to look like a loving dad, but his eyes are cold. He’s all about calculation and logic. He’s too calm–not like a father who just found his daughter after 20 years.”
Lucas, sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and snorted. “A guy who married into the Guzman family from nothing and managed to survive there? Of course he’s not simple. Without some tricks and schemes, he’d have been eaten alive long ago. But whatever!”
He went back to his usual playful self and grinned at Noelle. “What matters is you finally found your real family–and they spoil you! That’s huge! Let’s go back to Melrose Manor and party. I’ve got a great bottle of wine waiting!”
Sebastian glanced at him calmly and told Abe, “Drop Lucas off at the next intersection. He can take a cab home.”
“What?!” Lucas practically jumped.
“Hey! Sebastian! You can’t just kick me out! I helped tonight, too! How can you celebrate without me?”
Sebastian stayed calm, his tone firm. “The rest of the night is for the two of us.”
Lucas was speechless.
He gritted his teeth, half mad and half laughing “Fine! You guys are unbelievable! Putting your relationship before your friends S

The car stopped smoothly at the intersection.
Lucas cursed under his breath as he got out. He stood by the road and watched Sebastian’s black car drive off toward bölmenn Manor, disappearing into the night

“Yeah?” he said, sounding bored and a little annoyed.

“Lucas? Where are you? Um, why don’t you come home for dinner sometime? Belinda said she’d make your favorite soup…”
Lucas snorted and cut him off, his voice cold. “Home for dinner? Dad, did you forget? Just a few hours ago, at the Guzmans‘ party, you couldn’t wait to drag me away. You were afraid I’d embarrass you and ruin your plan to suck up to the Guzman heiress.”
He paused, the sarcasm getting sharper. “What, now that you realize Noelle is the real heiress, and we’re actually friends, you suddenly remember me? That was a pretty fast change. I’m impressed.”
“You!”
“If that’s all, I’m hanging up. Busy.”
Lucas didn’t bother listening anymore and ended the call.
He dropped his cigarette to the ground and crushed it with his shoe. He looked at the bright city lights. His face stayed blank, but his eyes were cold and clear.
Inside the car.
Now that the jokester Lucas was gone, Sebastian turned and pulled Noelle gently into his arms.
