Cary glared at Lilian with burning rage. “Lilian, do not push your luck. If you continue with this insolence, I don’t care if you are the Philips heir, I will have you thrown out.”
“Is that so?” Lilian countered with a cold laugh. “I’d love to see how you plan to manage that. In what capacity would you even try? Lest you forget, the Austin family is hosting this banquet, not yours. Before you try to play master of a house that isn’t yours, perhaps you should ask yourself if you even have the right.”
“You…!” Cary stared at her, his fury reaching a breaking point.
Meanwhile, Everly looked at Lilian in sheer shock. “The Philips heir? What Philips family? Which one?”
Lilian’s gaze was mocking as she looked at Everly. “How many Philips families are there in Murican high society that would make your grandfather this wary? It is exactly the one you’re thinking of.”
“No… that’s impossible,” Everly stammered, shaking her head. “You’re lying. You have to be lying! You’re just some country girl from Dracovia. How could you possibly be the Philips heir?”
Lilian sneered. “Does the truth surprise you that much? Did you honestly believe your status as the Chris family’s precious daughter was the peak of nobility? To put it bluntly, you’re nothing more than a pawn in your grandfather’s game, controlled your entire life. What is there to be proud of? Take this as a lesson. Don’t walk around with your huge ego or you’ll end up offending someone you can’t handle.”
With that, she shoved Everly aside and walked gracefully to a nearby table, picking up a napkin to meticulously wipe each of her fingers.
The onlookers realized the situation had spiraled completely out of control. Everyone turned their attention toward the man on the stage, wondering if the marriage alliance could possibly proceed.
Sebastian was looking down at the girl cleaning her hands, a smile playing on his lips and a depth of tenderness in his eyes that was truly moving.
Cary looked up at him, his expression icy. “Are you really going to stand there and let this woman run riot? You should know that Everly is the future lady of the Austin family. If she loses face, the entire Austin family loses face along with her.”
“Lady of the Austin family?” Lilian laughed derisively. “You certainly have quite the imagination, Cary. Where do you get the confidence to think your granddaughter could ever hold that title? Even after all those videos have been exposed, you still have the nerve to try and cling onto the Austin family name? Your shamelessness is truly unparalleled. Frankly, if I were in your shoes, I’d find a way to disappear out of sheer embarrassment.”
“Shut up!” Cary roared. “I am talking to Sebastian, not you! Is this how Dracovians are raised to constantly interrupt their elders? You are nothing but an ill–mannered brat.”
