Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 579

**Chapter 579: Sebastian’s Scandal**

Foster stood to the side, his demeanor cautious as he delivered the news. “There’s quite a throng of reporters gathered downstairs, all eagerly awaiting your response. This story has spread like wildfire, and the public is scrutinizing every detail. Shouldn’t we consider issuing a clarification? After all, this could tarnish your reputation and have serious repercussions for the company as well. And if you choose to remain silent, won’t Ms. Harrington misinterpret your intentions?”

A chilling smile flickered across Sebastian’s lips, a stark contrast to the gravity of the situation. “Ah, but Janus has provided me with such a delightful gift. It would be a shame not to engage with it, wouldn’t it?” He couldn’t shake the feeling that Laney was merely a pawn in a game far beyond her control.

Foster, sensing the gravity of the moment, pressed on, “What course of action should we take next?”

Sebastian’s gaze hardened, a glint of cold determination shining in his eyes. “First, ascertain which media outlet broke this story. Then, let’s extend our ‘regards’ to them. If they had the audacity to publish such slander, they should be prepared to face the repercussions of their actions.”

“Understood,” Foster replied, his tone betraying a hint of anxiety as he nodded.

At that moment, a sharp knock echoed through the office door, breaking the tense atmosphere.

The secretary entered, her expression a mix of urgency and professionalism. “Chairman, several directors are requesting to see you.”

Sebastian, maintaining his calm composure, replied, “Since they’re already here, let them in.”

A few moments later, a group of directors filed into the room. Upon seeing Sebastian lounging in the rest area, seemingly unfazed by the chaos outside, their irritation simmered just beneath the surface.

“Chairman, you’ve seen the reports, haven’t you? If we don’t respond promptly, the company’s stock could take a serious hit,” one of them said, his voice rising slightly in concern.

Sebastian’s tone remained steady and unhurried. “If a trivial matter like this can plunge Empire Group into crisis, then it only serves to highlight my incompetence. However, if your primary concern is the value of your shares, you’re welcome to sell. I can have Foster draft the necessary contracts without delay.”
