Cary looked up at Sebastian with a chilling gaze. “It seems you intend to abandon a win–win situation in favor of a far more perilous path. You should know that today is the final deadline.”

Cary’s words sent a shockwave through the crowd. This was a blatant, public threat. It turned out this entire marriage alliance was being orchestrated through coercion.

Many had wondered if the head of the Austin family had truly lost his mind, abandoning such an exceptional fiancée to get engaged o Everly. The idea itself had seemed preposterous.

Still, Cary’s audacity was staggering. To threaten a man like Sebastian was bold, and it left everyone curious about what kind of rump card Cary held to justify such a move.

Everly also looked at the man on the stage with intense anxiety. She desperately wanted to hear the answer she craved, even if it neant being despised by him for the rest of her life.

Sebastian’s expression was one of pure mockery as he looked down at Cary. “What’s the rush? I haven’t announced the good news ret, have I? Furthermore, since I said I would take very good care of the Chris family and Miss Everly, I certainly won’t disappoint

you.”

Cary gave a thin, joyless smile. “In that case, please proceed with the announcement. Don’t waste everyone’s time. After all, your >wn time is running out.” As he spoke, he pointedly checked his wristwatch.

‘Time is indeed running out.” Sebastian’s deep eyes flashed with sarcasm. He then addressed the audience. “Everyone here today s naturally curious about the rumors surrounding a marriage alliance between the Austin family and the Chris family. Allow me to clarify. I already have a fiancée, and there is absolutely no possibility of me entéring into an alliance with anyone else. In this ifetime, I will have only one wife, and her name is Lilian Harrington. It will only ever be Lilian; there will be no one else. Therefore, I ask that you do not believe the rumors.” Having finished, he turned a deeply affectionate gaze toward the girl below the stage.

His declaration caused an absolute uproar.

“So it was just a rumor all along? I actually thought it was real!”

“Yeah, it looks like Cary’s threats didn’t work. I thought he was some big shot, but it turns out he’s nothing special. Talk about a public embarrassment. Cary must be at the end of his rope now.”

“When have you ever seen the head of the Austin family succumb to a threat? If anything, those who try to threaten him usually come to a bad end. Just watch, the Chris family is finished.”

In the crowd, Janet turned to Martha with a look of schadenfreude. “See that? That’s karma. And here I thought Everly actually had some leverage. She had the nerve to brag about a marriage alliance when she was actually just trying to blackmail him into it. Even then, he still chose his fiancée. This is the ultimate humiliation; let’s see how arrogant she acts after this.”

Everly’s face was beyond pale. The man’s answer had utterly crushed her hopes. For weeks, she had fantasized about marrying him, only to be met with devastating disappointment once again.

Cary’s eyes were cold as he glared at Sebastian, his voice rising in anger. “I didn’t realize you were such a sentimental fool. To think you

would jeopardize the safety of the Austin Financial Group for a woman. Are you not afraid that the entire Austin family will suffer a catastrophic blow because of your willful recklessness?”
