disparaged his background, all the while insisting on in the
Sebastian couldn’t help but respect Lucy for her loyalty and dedication to the engagement agrement
made years ago.
Soon after, Spences, the head of the Cadwell family, returned home.
Unlike Lucy’s warmth and kindass, Spencer exhibited haughtiness and adismissive attitude toward
Sebastian
Spencer wasted no time in expressing his disapproval of the potential marriage between Sebastian
and his daughter.
In Lucy’s absence, Spencer pulled Sebastian aside for a blunt conversation. “I’m a straightforward
man. You’re not worthy of my daughter, and Thope you’re aware of that.” Sebastian was taken
aback. He took a moment to process Spencer’s harsh words before regaining hisposure. “I
understand I’ll speak with Aunt Lacy and rity things.” Spencer nodded, seemingly satisfied.
“Once it’s settled, I’ll give you ten million dors, mough for you to livefortably for the rest of
your like in a small ce heavenview City.”
Sebastian remained silent, his thoughts focused solely on finding his mother. The prospect of
marrying Jenny or receiving money held dan interest for him.
However, his silence ww.misinterpreted by Spencer and Jenny as epting their terms.
Jenny thought that since Sebastian was just a small–town nobody, Spencer’s offer was a windfall
he could never dream of Why wouldn’t he agree?
During hunch, Lucy seized the opportunity to push the two together. “Sebastion, Jennys going out
with some friends this afternoon. I worry about her, would you mind
Her suggestion was less about concern and more about a strategic move to create an opportunity
for Sebastian and Jenny to spend time together.
“Don’t worry, kint Lucy. I’ll fr good care of her, Sebastian assted her with a nod
Though displeased, Jenny couldn’t defy Lucy’s Eim stance and reluctantly agreed.
Observing the exchange, Spencer remained quiet. His rise to hisment position had been
significantly aided by his father–inw, and he held tory in high regard as a result. After lunch,
Sebastian and Jenny prepared to love the house together.
Jenny’s car was a Mercedes, which seemed modestpared to her affluentstabus
Just as Schastian was about to get into the car, Jenny stopped him.
“I don’t want people to get the wrong idea. You take acab,” she said dismissively, handing han 100
dors along with the address before driving away
Her gesture was clear, she wanted to sever any misperceptions or hopes Sebastian might harbor,
emphasizing the gap between their worlds.
Sebastian remained unded. He took out his phone and dialed Hydra. “The Zach family in
Divinopolisowns a secluded ind Find is location, need the information as soon as possible”
Despite Lucy’s efforts to uncover the same information, Sebastian felt pressing need to elerate
the process.
As Sebastian was about to hall ataxi, a Ferrari sports car screeched to a halt in front of hi

Sebastian looked puzzled. “Who are you?”
The woman pouted with a yful hint of offense in her voice. “Sebastian, it’s me. Zoey Lewis. Can’t
believe you don’t remember me.”
“What? You’re Zory? Sebastian eximed, surprised as his memory at Zory was still of her from
two years ago.
Two years ago, he had rescued her during a kidnapping.
She was just a little girl at that time, very youthful and unassuming
Now, she had grown into a striking young women, taller and unmistakably more mature, particrly
in her femininity.
It was almost inconceivable that she was the same person.
“Sebastian, you finally remember!” Zoey’s voice overflowed with joy
She clung to his arm as if fearing he might disappear if she let go
“I’ve spent two years searching for you without anyck. I’m so happy fate brought us together
again.”
“Why were you booking for me?” Sebastian asked, puzzled.
His acquaintance with Zoey was brief, and he had little interaction with the Lewis family since the
res
“Don’t you remember? promised I’d marry you when 1 grewup Well, now I am,” Zoey decked,
pulling out her chest with a bold gesture that seemed to emphasize her mahdity
Sebastian couldn’t help but nce at her. His breathing quickened involuntarily, a reaction driven by
instinct rather than intention.
Noticing Sebastian’s are and his reaction, Zoey wasn’t offended instead, she felt a secret thrill at the
acknowledgment other transformation.
“Sebastian, you’ll have to wall formed another two years, I’m not old enough to marry yet, but I can
be your girilend in the meantime,” she said, looping her arms around his neck and rising on tiptoes
to kiss him

Although Zory was undoubtedly beautiful and tempting Sebastim was a married man and felt it
inappropriate to lead a young gel astray.
“Sebastian, Tamcalin,” Zory replied, looking up at him with a resolute smile.
“When I was kidnapped two years ago, I made a secret vow to marry my rescuer, and I intend to
keep that promise.”
“Your fatherpensated me for that rescue. You don’t need to feel obligated by such a promise.”
“Nopensation is worth more than my life, and I don’t care about that. I want to marry you,”
Zoey insisted, clinging to Sebastian’s arm more firmly.
“Zoey, I’m already married There’s nothing you can do about that,” Sebastian replied, hoping to
discourage her intentions..
“You’re really married,” Zoey acknowledged, her face falling slightly.
“But I expected that Someone as outstanding as you wouldn’t be single. It doesn’t matter, I can be
your concubine,” Zoey said casually,
“What are you talking about, youngdy? Let go of me right now,” Sebastian scolded, his tone
sharpening.
The boldness of young girls these days often took him by surprise, and he was struggling to
navigate this situation.
“I won’t. You have to let me be your girlfriend, or I won’t give you the treasure,” Zoey said, her voice
tinged with indignation.
“What kind of treasure could you possibly have that would interest me? Sebastian asked,
skepticism evident in his tone.
“The Aether Script!” Zoey dered.
“What? You have the Aether Script?” Sebastian was surprised.
His eyes widened in astonishment as he gripped her shoulders tightly.
