Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 268

Sebastian was not easily swayed by Lyra's advances. Instead, he roughly shoved her aside and then slapped her hard across the face.

Lyra, nearly stunned by the blow, held her reddening cheek and asked pitifully, "Celestial Master Thorne, what did I do wrong? Why did you hit me?"

"Because I felt like it. Got a problem with that?" Sebastian sneered.

Lyra quickly shook her head, her face pale with fear.

Ignoring her, Sebastian turned to Lillian and commanded, "You! Come with me!"

Lillian had no strength to resist. She feared that if she angered Magnus, he would kill her parents and grandfather. Thus, she could only obediently follow him as she didn't dare to oppose him.

They had chosen a café not too far away as a precaution to avoid arousing Magnus' suspicion.

Time was tight. Sebastian swiftly led Lillian out of Phoenix Corporation and into a car waiting by the roadside.

The driver was from Misty Oak Villa. Once Sebastian and Lillian were in the car, they sped off quickly.

Simultaneously, Sebastian sent Gina a message to retreat.

Upon receiving the command, Gina immediately left the café with Casper.

The place was deserted by the time Magnus and Nathaniel arrived with their men.

Magnus grabbed Derick by the throat. "Where are they?" Magnus growled.

"They were just here! I don't know when they left," Derick stammered, trembling with fear.

"You dare play me for a fool!"
