Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153 

“How dare you?” Henry slapped Bradfort and warned, “I’ll kill you if you dare disrespect Mr. Wilder again.” 

What’s happening, Mr. Higgins?” Bradfort asked with a pained expression. 

“You don’t need to know,” Henry responded coldly before leaving with his men. 

After Henry and his men had departed, the crowd returned to the hotel, only to discover that the Walter family was missing, 

When they connected the Walters‘ disappearance with the three coffins they’d seen earlier, it wasn’t hard to guess the grim fate that had befallen the Walter family. 

‘Mr. Higgins was invited by the Walters to teach Sebastian a lesson. Not only did he not punish Sebastian, but he also turned against them. What exactly happened?” Elijah mused with a puzzled look. 

“Mr. Higgins seems to hold Sebastian in high regard. He arranged a luxury car and bodyguards to escort him. Could he be from some powerful family?” Ronan speculated. 

That’s impossible! He’s a nobody. Just look at him; he doesn’t look like someone from an elite family,” Lyra countered. 

Jordan had a sudden epiphany. “I know what’s going on. Those people must be from the Cadwell family. The Cadwells are one of the top ten families. Even Mr. Higgins has to show them some respect.” 

Evelyn’s expression lit up at the revelation. “If Sebastian is close to the Cadwell family, it may not be a bad idea for Lillian to marry him.” 

Elijah nodded in agreement. After all, the Cadwells were much more influential than the Walters. The Smiths would stand to benefit if they managed to forge ties with the Cadwells. 

Lyra quivered with frustration. She hated Sebastian and had been eagerly looking forward to his downfall today. 

However, not only had he survived, but he’d also leveraged the Cadwell family’s power to decimate the Walters. Her chances of revenge now seemed meager. 

Lyra’s anger was compounded by her jealousy, she didn’t want Lillian to marry someone better than the person she herself would marry. 

She was indifferent to Lillian marrying Sebastian since she considered Jordan to be his equal. However, Sebastian had turned out to be skilled in medicine and martial arts, and he also had close ties with the Cadwells. Much to Lyra’s dismay, Jordan seemed pale in comparison. 

Meanwhile, inside the Bentley, Lillian was riddled with questions about what had happened earlier. 

If Henry had spared Sebastian because the latter was posing as the Supreme One, then who were Hydra and the others? And what about the two luxurious cars, each worth millions of dollars? 

After much hesitation, Lillian finally decided to voice her queries. “Sebastian, where did the two cars come from? Also, who are these people?” 

“Would you believe me if I said that the cars are mine and these people are my subordinates?” Sebastian smiled wryly. 

Lillian rolled her eyes and replied, “Both cars are worth at least 30 million dollars. How could you possibly afford them? And you say these people are your subordinates? Do you think you are an heir in a powerful family?” 

“I rented the car, and these people are actors I’ve hired,” Sebastian said. 

Lillian nodded as the realization dawned on her. “I see.” 

Sebastian was amused that the truth seemed less believable than fiction these days. 

“Where are we headed now?” Lillian asked. 

“Home, of course.” 

Looking worried, Lillian expressed her concerns, saying, “I think we should get away as soon as we can. We pretended to be the Supreme One and his wife. 

“Our secret can’t last forever; someone is bound to expose us some day. We should be distancing ourselves as much as possible before that happens.” 

“There’s no need to flee. It won’t matter even if we are exposed, as the Supreme One has allowed this,” Sebastian said reassuringly. 

“How’s that possible?” Lillian asked in disbelief. 

“I’m not lying. The Supreme One agreed to this.”
