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."
