The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 465

If Sebastian decided to interfere now, all of his recent efforts would go down the drain. The posture he had deliberately put on just now, the little bit of dignity he had scraped together using his child, would shatter instantly under one casual sentence from Sebastian.

Endure it. I have to endure it.

Pierce forced a smile, lowering his stance as much as possible. "Those projects are nothing in your eyes, Sebastian."

"I certainly wouldn't give them a second glance."

The man's voice was bland, yet the humiliation in his words was glaring.

The smile on Pierce's lips stiffened, but he quickly returned to his nonchalant flattery. "You're meant for big things. Naturally, I can't compare."

"You must be very busy, Mr. Landon, aren't you?" As Sebastian spoke, his gaze drifted pointedly toward the door. The implication was clear: You can leave now.

How could Pierce not understand? A surge of fire shot up in his chest, his fingers unconsciously clenching. But he knew full well he didn't have the leverage to go head-to-head with Sebastian right now.

Even though he was full of indignation, he could only forcefully suppress his anger. He didn't even have the right to lash out.

"I do have other matters to attend to. I'll take my leave." After delivering these stiff words, Pierce stood up to leave.

Serena had finally managed to run into Sebastian and was loath to leave. "Brother, didn't you say you were free tonight and wanted to spend more time with Alora?"

Suppressing his churning rage, Pierce squeezed a single word through his teeth: "Leave."

"But I—"

Pierce gave her no chance to continue, grabbing her arm and dragging her outward.
