Never had Sebastian expected to hear this shocking information today.
As he processed everything, his teeth clenched and his face sunken slightly.
The fact that Natalie only married him in exchange for money made him feel annoyed and heartbroken.
But on second thought, he remembered that he also only agreed to the marriage because of his
mother’s last wish.
He wasn’t any different from Natalie.
Hence, he reasoned it would be unfair to judge her.
Although Sebastian put his emotions on a lockdown in order to stay composed, his mind was on a
roller coaster.
‘Why did Natalie suddenly let the cat out of the bag? Does she want to divorce me? Oh my God, I
thought she had feelings for me.’
“Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?” Sebastian’s jaw rose slightly and his eyes were filled with
trepidation.
Natalie lowered her long eyelashes and replied calmly, “It’s because the Quinn family have refused to
keep their end of the bargain.I have asked them severally to pay me the money as promised, but they
refused. Today, they even orchestrated for the liver that was donated for Hannah to be given to
someone else.I had no choice but to open up.”
With clear eyes, she looked up at him and continued sincerely, “I’m sorry for deceiving you all along. If
you resent me because of this, you can divorce me.”
“Divorce?” Sebastian muttered and scoffed.
Getting a divorce was easier said than done.
Besides, he didn’t want that, “Do you think I will be interested in a bitch like Cassie?” Sebastian stared
at her with an inexplicable glint in his eyes for a while before walking up to her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe looked into her eyes and said, “Natalie, you seem to know very little about me.Just so you know.No
woman can be compared to you.Besides, don’t you know you are the only woman I want?”
Natalie’s cheeks and ears turned red instantly.She fiddled with her fingers and stared at the floor.
Cassie, who had been standing on the staircase was livid when she heard Sebastian’s last statement.
With her face burning with fury, she shouted angrily, “Why? How dare you say that? What makes this
bitch better than me? Sebastian, I used to think you were a man with good taste, but I was wrong. You
are blind and stupid!”
Only a few moments ago, Cassie had thought that Sebastian would divorce Natalie and ask for her
hand in marriage.
She wasn’t going to accept his proposal, but she just wanted to hurt Natalie and reiterate that she was
better than her in all ramifications.
Sebastian paid no heed to the woman who was shouting at him.
He shot George and Lauren a cold glare and uttered, “Why bother? The substitute marriage was
pointless. You should have just told me from the onset that you switched your daughters.I never had an
interest in Cassie in the first place.She has a bad reputation, an ugly face, and a terrible character.No
man in his right mind would want to have anything to do with her, let alone marry her.Natalie is ten
thousand times better than her.”
George and Lauren had been afraid that Sebastian would flare up at them once he found out that his
bride had been substituted.
Much to their surprise, he was actually happy with the arrangement because he harbored inveterate
hatred for Cassie.
This annoyed them to the bones.Several wrinkles appeared at the corners of Lauren’s eyes as she
sneered.
In a mean tone, she retorted, “Watch your mouth, Sebastian.
Don’t be so arrogant because you are just the illegitimate son of the Klein family.
As far as I’m concerned, you are nothing but an unpresentable bastard.
How dare you speak ill of my daughter in my presence?”
“Spare me that bull crap! I see where Cassie gets all her bad attributes from.She’s your carbon
copy.The three of you are a family of vile humans!”
Sebastian sneered at them.
Afterward, he turned to look at Natalie who was still lowering her head timidly.
He lifted her head and said affectionately, “You are one of a kind. How did you manage to put up with
them for so long?” Despite Sebastian’s shunning words, Lauren still stood up for her daughter.
“You bastard, you must apologize to my daughter, or you won’t be able to leave here today!”
“Humph! Fine, I’ll apologize!”
A murderous expression appeared on Sebastian’s face at this moment.He suddenly picked up a wine
bottle, holding it by its neck.He then smashed it on the table.
The red wine spilled on the floor and dyed the carpet.
The remaining half of the bottle in his hand now had extremely sharp tips.
“No! Mom! He wants to stab us.Don’t let him get here!”
Cassie was so scared that her face turned pale.
As quick as a flash, she ran into her room and slammed the door shut.
Fear also filled Lauren as she stared at the bottle and the murderous look on Sebastian’s face.
She staggered backward as her heart began to pound against her chest.
‘Oh my God! Natalie and Sebastian are both crazy!’. Sebastian took two steps forward.
His black eyes were void of any emotions.
It was as if they led to a bottomless abyss.
“Please calm down, Sebastian.Lauren, stop arguing with him.You should know that we are to blame for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthis. Ve promised the Klein family to give out Cassie’s hand in marriage to their son many years
ago.But we didn’t keep to our promise.He has every right to be angry now!”
George scolded his wife in a bid to show that he was reasonable and wanted peace.
He was only trying to save their lives.
Being an illegitimate child didn’t change the fact that Sebastian still had a powerful family behind him.
The Kleins were so powerful that a scandal would never erupt about them.
Even if Sebastian killed them all tonight, the truth would be buried easily by the Kleins and no one
would know what happened forever.
Seeing that George was being fairly reasonable, Sebastian threw the broken bottle aside and casually
wiped his fingers with tissue.
He glanced at the scared couple and said, “I can let go of you for deceiving me. You unknowingly did
me a favor.I’m glad that Natalie became my wife.However, you owe her money, so you must pay her.”
He threw the tissue on the floor, held Natalie’s hand, and left.
It was already late at night. There were no buses, and only a few taxis were available.
Sebastian and Natalie slowly walked back along the quiet road.
Natalie hadn’t stopped crying ever since they left the Quinn family’s house.
Sebastian took off his jacket and wrapped it around Natalie, holding her in his arms.He was now
wearing only a white T-shirt that clung to his chiseled body.
“Don’t you want to ask me something?” Natalie sniffed and looked up at him.
The pool of tears in her eyes sparkled under the dim streetlight.
“Well, I have a lot to ask.I just don’t know where to begin.”
Sebastian wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with his thumb.
His calm, resonant voice made her cry harder.
Sebastian couldn’t watch her break down before him.
Crying was one thing he didn’t like about Natalie.
He wanted to make sure she didn’t shed a tear again.
