Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 20

"We're not acting. We just got married," Lillian said.

"Do you expect us to believe that?" Evelyn certainly didn't buy it.

Lillian couldn't be bothered to explain any further. She simply retrieved the marriage certificate from her bag. "Take a look at this."

As everyone laid eyes on the marriage certificate, their smiles once again froze.

A sense of foreboding crept into Evelyn's heart. She quickly opened the certificate and couldn't deny the truth staring back at her.

"You… you reckless girl, how could you run off and marry a stranger without a word?" Evelyn trembled with rage, her fingers itching to tear the certificate apart.

Ronan hurriedly intervened. "Don't tear it, we need it for the divorce."

"Lillian, you've always been sensible, how could you be so foolish this time?" Elijah was also furious.

He had initially planned to betroth Lillian to Sebastian, but after yesterday's events, he had a change of heart.

Sebastian might have offended the Lisbons and the Cadwells, but angering the Shadowtiger was a whole different level of seriousness.

With his understanding of the Shadowtiger, Elijah knew Andrew wouldn't simply let things slide.

The question of whether Sebastian would make it through another day remained uncertain, and Elijah didn't want his family to be caught in the crossfire.

The Harrises' faces were grim, especially Steven; his eyes burned with fury.

Evelyn felt a mix of anger and embarrassment. "Mr. and Mrs. Harris, please don't be upset. I'll make sure they get a divorce right away."

"What's the point of divorcing? Even if they do, it's still a second marriage!" Lynette huffed.

Evelyn hastily smiled. "They just got married. The marriage certificate is just a piece of paper. She's still untouched."

"Mrs. Smith, I won't mind these things," Steven generously declared.

Despite her lingering anger, Lynette suppressed her rage upon seeing her son's affection for Lillian. "Fine. If you ensure they divorce immediately, we won't hold it against you."

"Your mother is right! How could you fabricate such nonsense?" Ronan seethed with frustration.

"I'm not making it up. Everything I've said is true. If you don't believe me, we can go to the hospital together," Lillian replied calmly. Since the truth was out, she might as well make everything crystal clear.

"When did this happen? How come we didn't know anything about it?" Evelyn asked in disbelief.

"That doesn't matter anymore. Everything that needed to be said has been said," Lillian stated firmly.

"I'll kill you!" Ronan could no longer suppress the rage boiling within him, his hand poised to deliver a stinging slap to Lillian's delicate face.

Lillian shut her eyes in terror.

Just as Ronan's hand was about to land, another hand grasped his wrist.

It was Sebastian. Lillian was his wife now, and he couldn't stand by idly.

"Let go of me! I'm going to discipline my daughter. Mind your own business!" Ronan roared in fury.
