Chapter 22
“You shouldn’t have agreed to the bet with my mom,” Lillian said as she pulled Sebastian out of the living room.
“I’m your husband now. Why don’t you have any faith in me?” Sebastian asked with a playful smile.
“If it weren’t for Ms. Green helping you yesterday, Mr. Miller wouldn’t have spared you. It’s too dangerous for you to negotiate with him.
“Let me handle this. You don’t have to worry about it,” Lillian said.
“Those people from the Shadowtiger are dangerous, and you know that better than I do. It’s too risky for you to go to them.”
Sebastian couldn’t let her take the risk. If she fell into danger, it would be disastrous.
Lillian knew the danger too well. In a previous negotiation with Andrew’s son, she had been drugged. Luckily, she managed to escape by cleverly finding her way into Sebastian’s room.
“Why don’t you give up the bet?” she asked.
“Are you concerned about me?” Sebastian asked with a smile.
A blush crept onto Lillian’s face. “I just don’t want our child to grow up without a father.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not one to take risks,” Sebastian reassured her confidently. For him, it was a matter of a simple word.
He had founded the Supreme Pavilion with four major legions: Drakaria, Frostclaw, Hydra, and Cyclops.
The Shadowtiger was merely an affiliate of the Frostclaw Legion.
“Alright, I’ll leave now. Call me if you need anything,” Sebastian said as he left the Smith
residence.
However, Lillian didn’t go with him. Evelyn wouldn’t approve of their relationship until he secured the contract with the Shadowtiger Group.
Though he could have forcibly taken Lillian with him, he chose not to.
After all, they were going to be a family eventually. If it wasn’t necessary, he didn’t want to strain their relationship.
Besides, he would soon secure the contract, so there was no need to rush anything at that
point.
Upon returning to Phoenix Corporation, Sebastian summoned Natalie.
“What are your orders, Mr. Wilder?” Natalie asked respectfully.
“Notify Andrew to hand over the Skylink project to the Smith Group,” Sebastian instructed.
“Alright,” Natalie replied.
She dialed Andrew’s number and conveyed Sebastian’s message to him.
“Mr. Wilder, the Shadowtiger Group is planning to hold a bidding conference in two days. All the Smith Group needs to do is participate in the bidding,” Natalie informed.
“Very well. Have you found any traces of those people I asked you to look for?” Sebastian inquired.
Natalie shook her head. “Not yet. It seems like the Dragonheart’s and Novastar Organization’s members have disappeared after arriving in Ravenview City.”
“With Ravenview City being so expansive, if they’re intent on staying hidden, it’ll be quite the challenge to locate them. We just need to stay vigilant.
“Also, any updates on the amulets I asked you to find?” Sebastian inquired further.
Locating the two amulets was paramount, as they held the key to a remarkable treasure. Hence, Sebastian was resolute in obtaining them at any cost.
