Chapter 28


    Steven was nearly frightened out of his wits when Kieran burst into a fit of rage.


    He was the Shadowtiger n''s scion, after all. It would be a piece of cake for him to get rid of


    Steven, and no one would even dare to avenge him.


    Steven called Lillian reluctantly. She might be important, but his life mattered more to him.


    …


    Lillian was thrilled after she hung up.


    "Lillian, why are you so happy?" Evelyn asked, puzzled.


    "Mr. Miller has agreed to work with us. He''s requesting me to discuss our coboration''s details,"


    Lillian eximed excitedly.


    "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go. Don''t keep Mr. Miller waiting." Evelyn urged.


    "I''ll keep youpany." Sebastian rose.


    He had only met Andrew once but could tell at first nce that he was a menace. He couldn''t trust


    Lillian to attend their meeting alone.


    "Lillian''s there for business. Why are you meddling? Are you trying to mess things up?" Evelyn


    hollered.


    "I''ll be fine on my own. Mr. Harris is with him upstairs as well. Don''t worry," Lillian said.


    "Alright, then. Call me if there''s anything," Sebastian replied.


    Lillian nodded and took the elevator to the top floor. A bodyguard led her to their room.


    She immediately noticed something was off once she entered. "Mr. Harris, didn''t you mention that


    Mr. Miller requested me? Where is he?"


    "My dad has something to attend to. It''ll do with just the both of us. Come have a seat." Kieran


    patted the spot next to him, gesturing for Lillian to sit beside him.


    A rush of fury and terror washed through Lillian the moment she saw him. The urge to leave the


    room overwhelmed her, yet she steeled herself.


    Determined to win the bid, she sat down.

    However, she took a seat next to Steven instead. He seemed more reliable than Kieran.


    Kieran was unfazed. She was bound to be his ything once she set foot in here.


    "Kieran, we''re very serious about the project. We won''t let you down as long as you choose us,"


    Lillian began.


    "Then show me how serious you are about it. Drink this." Kieran poured a ss of wine for her.


    "My stomach isn''t feeling well. I can''t drink," Lillian politely refused. She was wary of him because of


    what happenedst time.


    Thanks to her wits, she managed a narrow escape when he drugged her back then. She wouldn''t


    make the same mistake again.


    "How about a ss of water?" Kieran snapped his fingers, and his bodyguard on standby


    immediately fetched a bottle of water. He opened it and poured some water for Lillian.


    She''d been staring intently at him to prevent anyone from drugging her. She took a small sip of the


    water and put it down.


    A devious grin shed across Kieran''s face. He had already instructed someone to drug the water.


    Steven stood on the side the entire time. It wasn''t that he didn''t want to intervene—he didn''t dare to.


    The drug was potent. Even though Lillian only took a small sip, she already felt dizzy in less than a


    minute.


    She shook her head, attempting to regain her senses, but the dizziness grew worse. Eventually, she


    lost consciousness and copsed on the couch.


    "Get out, all of you!" Kieran ordered all the bodyguards to leave before turning to Steven. "We''re


    homies, right? So, it''s only right for me to share her with you.


    "Wait first. You''ll have your turn once I''m done with her."


    "Thanks, Kieran." Steven was seething, yet he didn''t dare to show even an ounce of his anger.


    Still, he was somewhat excited. He''d been coveting Lillian for ages and would finally get what he


    desired, albeit with Kieran going first.


    Kieran rose and sauntered toward Lillian. As he drank in her exquisite features, lust immediately got


    the better of him.


    "She''s stunning. As expected of the belle of Ravenview. Oh yeah, you''ve yet to touch her, right?"


    Kieran spun around and asked Steven.


    Steven shook his head, silentlymenting his missed opportunity. Lillian was still a virgin, yet Kieran


    would soon strip her virginity away. It was infuriating.


    "In this case, she''s probably still a virgin." Kieran''s eyes lit up lecherously. His arms shot out to grab


    Lillian''s clothes.


    Just as he was about to rip her clothes apart, a loud crash resonated across the room.


    The door came crashing down with a deafening noise. A figure darted in swiftly.


    "Who are you?" Kieran was bewildered.


    "Sebastian!" Steven was bbergasted.


    "Do you know him?" Kieran questioned, spiraling in turmoil.
