Remorse After Breaking Up Chapter 59

Chapter 59

“A partner?”

“Yes. The Skylink Corporation project requires significant investment, and our company is facing some liquidity issues. We need to find a powerful partner.”

“Really? The project investment doesn’t even exceed three billion dollars. Isn’t the Smith family the wealthiest in Ravenview City?

Can’t they afford it?” Sebastian asked.

Lillian gave a bitter smile. “The Smith family might seem prosperous, but we’ve been weakening internally. As you know, our main business is in real estate, which has been suffering losses for years. If this continues, we could be bankrupt in a few years.

“That’s why I’m desperate to secure the Skylink Corporation project to turn the losses into profits.”

Sebastian nodded as realization dawned on her.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Southmont Cafe. They were led to a pavilion by a waiter.

The pavilion was surrounded by a lotus pond with clear water and colorful fish.

A young, attractive woman was already waiting. She stood up immediately upon seeing Lillian. “You must be Ms. Smith. Hello, I’m Elena Spark.”

“Hello.”

Lillian greeted and shook hands.

Elena smiled. “Ms. Smith, I’ve heard you’re the most beautiful woman in Ravenview City. Seeing you today, it’s no exaggeration.”

“That’s just people talking. Ms. Spark, don’t take it seriously.

Besides, you’re a beauty yourself. I’m no match for you,” Lillian modestly replied.

“Ms. Smith, you’re too humble. Let’s sit down and talk.” Suddenly, Elena looked at Sebastian. “And who might this be?”

“I’m Ms. Smith’s driver and bodyguard.” Sebastian introduced himself.

“I’d like to talk to Ms. Smith alone. Can you excuse yourself?”

Elena asked.

“Sebastian, find yourself a place to rest. I’ll call you when I’m done, “Lillian said.

Sebastian nodded in agreement. Elena was a woman, and there were no other strangers present. They were located in the Shadowtiger territory, which held a certain level of security. With this in mind, he felt reassured to leave Lillian there.

Once Sebastian was gone, Elena’s face revealed a triumphant smile.

Shortly after, a waiter approached Sebastian. “Mr. Wilder, Mr.

Miller requests your presence.”

“Lead the way.”

Sebastian didn’t refuse the request. He happened to have something to ask Andrew.

The waiter brought Sebastian to a luxurious private room, then exited the room and closed the door behind him.

Andrew was already waiting here. After the door was closed, he hurriedly kneeled on one knee and bowed. “Greetings, the Supreme One!”

“Rise.”

Sebastian was sitting on the couch.

“I dare not rise, for I am guilty. Previously, both my son and I offended your wife, and our sins are grave. Please, I ask for your punishment.” Andrew knelt on the ground and trembled.

Although he was the king of the underground of Ravenview City, he was nothing in front of Sebastian.

“Your son has already been punished, and you’ve chopped off your own hand. Let’s consider these matters settled, but I expect there won’t be a next time,” Sebastian warned.

“There won’t be a next time. Even if you lent me another ounce of courage, I wouldn’t dare,” Andrew hurriedly assured.

“By the way, what’s the story with the partner you introduced to my wife? Is she reliable?” Sebastian asked.

“Reporting to the Supreme One, her name is Elena Spark, the daughter of a secretive, influential family. She’s strong. You can trust her,” Andrew replied while pouring a cup of tea for Sebastian.

Sebastian picked up the cup of tea, and the fresh aroma enveloped his senses.

He savored the tea’s smooth yet slightly bitter taste, which could calm one’s mind.

“The tea is good, but it’s a pity.” Sebastian shook his head.

“A pity? What do you mean?” Andrew asked in confusion.

“The tea itself is fine, but something weird has been added to it, spoiling the taste,” Sebastian said with regret.

Andrew suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He forced himself to calm down and said, “This tea was specially prepared for you. How could it be weird?”

“Since you claim it’s clean, then finish the rest of the tea in the pot, “Sebastian sneered.

Terrified, Andrew turned to run toward the door.

Silver needles appeared in Sebastian’s hand, which he flicked with astonishing speed.

Andrew slumped to the ground with a miserable cry. He wanted to get up but found that he couldn’t exert any strength.

“Supreme One, please don’t kill me! I know I was wrong! Spare my life!”

Andrew hurriedly begged for mercy. He was so scared that his face turned white.

He had poisoned the tea. It was colorless and tasteless, so he never expected Sebastian to detect it.

Sebastian walked over and stepped on Andrew’s face while grinding it against the floor.

Andrew let out an excruciating scream. The sound of his screams could send shivers down the spine.

Sebastian smiled brilliantly. “Who put you up to this? Think carefully before answering. You only get one chance.”

Andrew suddenly calmed down. “Supreme One, I advise you to step back. Your wife is in our hands. If you continue to torment me, we’ll do the same to your wife.”
