Chapter 143
Her eyes were clear and unclouded, free of any distracting thoughts about him, only imploring
Sebastian’s blood cooled, and the peace he had felt after touching her evaporated.
A deep gash had ripped open his chest, causing his entire body to ache, even the palm of his hand.
Clenching his fists, he wanted to strangle the pain that was wantonly spreading, yet no matter what he
did, he could not stop
1.
He had never experienced such pain before; it seemed to spread throughout his body, causing agony
in every limb and
bone.
“Mr. Jackman, I’m immensely grateful for your assistance when I was in dire need. Without you, Liam
wouldn’t have made
it.”
“I am very thankful to you, but my emotions for you are restricted to this…”
“Enough!”
Sebastian snorted coldly, prompting Scarlett to quickly close her lips.
Avoiding Sebastian’s gaze, she kept her head lowered, expecting his rage.
However, after waiting for a long time, the man did not react at all….
Raising her head slowly, she met his cold, disappointed gaze.
Something gripped her heart, causing such intense pain that it was hard for her to even draw breath.
The man was adept at controlling his emotions, and had already calmed down by now.
For this woman, five years was nothing but a cause for gratitude.
For such a woman, he humbled himself and kept going back to her.
She relentlessly reiterated to him that the only one she loved was Liam, and he was nothing to her.
If he persisted in pestering and refused to let go, it would appear quite absurd.
He stifled the disappointment in his eyes and shot Scarlett a cold nce. His voice was colder than
ever,
“Get lost!”
He uttered one word, signifying his release of her.
Scarlett should have been happy to have achieved her goal of breaking off with him, yet her heart was
still bleeding.
Taking a deep, cold look at the arrogant man, she gritted her teeth and headed toward Dev.
When she supported Dev to leave, she couldn’t help but turn and take onest look.
The man had already spun on his heel and gone back to the bedroom, leaving her alone and isted.
He mmed the door shut, signaling that everything was truly finished.
Scarlett felt so suffocated that she could barely breathe, her hand, which had been holding Dev,
trembled in pain.
‘Scarlett, you… what’s wrong?”
Dev realized something from the loneliness and sadness on her face, but he didn’t dare to dwell on it.
“It’s fine.”
Scarlett shook her head and said, “Let’s go.”
Dev nodded, tightly gripping her hand, and they walked out of the vi.
As the man upstairs watched the two of them depart, his expression grew increasingly glum and icy.
He stared at the petite, thin figure, unable to discern what emotion he was feeling
He had an irresistible urge to rush up and pick her up.
But the words she said that refused people thousands of miles away, yanked back his reason.
It was just a woman who didn’t love him; it wasn’t a big deal, so why should he keep thinking of her?
He averted his gaze, yet when his eyes fell upon the tattered garments strewn on the floor, an
excruciating ache permeated his entire being.
He was ustomed to her body, so his mind was filled with the way shey beneath him, pleading for
mercy. I had to be

Dev and Scarlett supported them out of the vi with several cars that Dev had brought parked
outside.
The bodyguards in the cars had faces stained with emotion.
Before entering Dev had already engaged in a confrontation with Sebastian’s bodyguards
Dev had brought too few people, so he was unable to beat Sebastians people. thus necessitating a call
to the police.
Seeing that Dey hade out safely, the bodyguards all let out a sigh of relief and one of them opened
the door for the two.
