Chapter 65 “Why are you two here?” Lillian was taken aback. She had encountered Natalie upon waking up and then came here without informing her family.
“Don’t you remember that our Smith family owns shares in this hospital? The dean called us immediately after he found out you were here. He said you were drugged. Are you alright?” Evelyn replied.
Lillian shook her head. “I’m fine, but Sebastian had both his legs broken.”
Evelyn cast a cold glance at Sebastian and snorted. “Serves him right. Always stirring up trouble-he should consider himself lucky to be alive. Anyway, who did it?”
“It was Mr. Miller,” Lillian said.
“Just as I thought.” Evelyn wasn’t surprised.
“After what he did to Mr. Miller’s son, it was only a matter of time before Mr. Miller retaliated. He was lenient just breaking his legs, considering what happened last time.”
Ronan agreed and nodded. “Your mother’s right. Staying with someone who constantly finds trouble is asking for disaster. You should divorce him immediately!”
“Absolutely, you need to part ways with this failure. Given that Mr.
Miller resorted to drugging you, it’s evident he hasn’t moved on.
You should divorce and tie the knot with Mr. Miller instead. With his son being disabled, having a child with Mr. Miller could cement your position within the Shadowtiger Group.”
“Mom, how can you even say that? I won’t divorce Sebastian, much less marry Mr. Miller and have his child,” Lillian retorted, visibly upset.
“Lillian, are you out of your mind? He’s now completely useless, with both legs broken. Do you plan to spend your life with him?”
Evelyn was furious.
Lillian declared as she held Sebastian’s hand, “He got injured trying to save me from Mr. Miller’s son. It’s my responsibility to take care of him now. If he can never stand again, then I’ll be by his side for life.”
Sebastian couldn’t hide his joy at her words.
His injury seemed a small price to pay if it meant having Lillian’s care forever. He’d willingly endure it all again for such a promise.
However, Ronan and Evelyn were livid.
“You foolish girl, are you insane? Ignoring a man of Mr. Miller’s stature for a nobody? Are you trying to infuriate me to death?”
Evelyn was shaking with anger.
Ronan was enraged as he pointed at Lillian. “I’ll ask you one last time. Do you truly intend to waste your life with this nobody?”
“Yes, I do!” Lillian stood firm, her resolve unwavering.
Engulfed in fury and on the brink of slapping Lillian, Ronan was jolted by an unexpected call at that moment.
“What? Mr. Miller is dead?” His astonishment was evident.
“What? Mr. Miller is dead?” Evelyn was in disbelief as well.
Ronan grimly confirmed as he said, “Elijah himself said it. Mr.
Miller is dead, the Shadowtiger Group is finished, and the whole organization is done for. We need to return immediately.”
“This can’t be true,” Evelyn stammered.
Lillian was equally stunned and she looked at Sebastian, her mind racing.
“It can’t be him,” she thought, initially suspecting Sebastian. But on second thought, it seemed impossible.
Despite Sebastian’s remarkable skills, taking down the Shadowtiger, renowned for their cadre of elite operatives and the formidable Mr. Miller, seemed like an impossible solo mission.
Ronan urged, “We have to go. My father wants us back now.”
Lillian instructed Sebastian, “I’ll head back first and come see you later. Get some rest.”
The news of Andrew’s demise and the Shadowtiger’s complete collapse sent shockwaves everywhere.
The Miller family was especially thrown into disarray. They had been deeply involved with the Shadowtiger Group in the highly promising Skylink project.
With Andrew gone and the organization dissolved, their two- billion-dollar investment evaporated. All their investments and efforts went up in smoke.
