Chapter 145
Since the coffin was covered with a red cloth, no one knew what they were holding.
“Sebastian!”
More than half of the guests at this wedding had attended the deity banquet two days ago, so they were furious upon seeing Sebastian, especially Steven, Tyler, and Taylor. But, of course, the angriest ones were still Lionel and the Smith family.
“What’s a loser like you doing here?” Evelyn was the first to snap. She pointed at Sebastian’s nose and yelled, “Today is my daughter and Mr. Lionel’s wedding! You better get out of here, or you’ll be a dead man!”
Evelyn loathed Sebastian from the first moment she met him. In her opinion, he was just a poor loser with no power and a waste of space who was prone to violence.
Now that Lillian was marrying into the Walter family, Evelyn could ride on her daughter’s coattails and rise to the top. She refused to let anyone destroy that chance.
Lucas also yelled, “Sebastian, you piece of trash! You caused a scene at the deity banquet, but the Cadwell family saved your life. It’s bad enough that you refused to back down, but you even came here to cause trouble. Do you have a death wish?”
The other people in the Smith family also criticized him. The marriage with the Walter family was an opportunity for the Smith family to rise to the top once more, so they refused to let Sebastian cause any trouble.
Lionel’s eyes brimmed with killing intent. He glared at Sebastian and said coldly, “Today is my wedding, so I don’t want to cause any bloodshed. If you leave now, I will let this slide. Otherwise…”
Lionel let out a sneer. Although he didn’t finish his words, everyone understood what he meant.
Sebastian chuckled, “Lillian is my wife. I can’t believe you’re trying to drive me away when you’re the one marrying my wife! Don’t you find that notion ridiculous?”
Lionel sneered, “You and Lillian have already signed the divorce papers, and its terms have already come into effect. Although you’ve never registered for the divorce, it doesn’t matter. With my family’s power, we can get that done in minutes.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Lionel was part of a prestigious family in Wave City and was said to have some fellowship with Henry Higgins, the city chief. Even if Sebastian didn’t agree to the divorce, Lionel had the power to get the marriage annulled.
Besides, he had another simpler way to get Sebastian out of the equation, which was to kill him. As long as he was dead, his marriage with Lillian would cease to exist. Sebastian sneered. “You should let bygones be bygones. I’m here to give you a gift, and it’s a really generous one at that. I guarantee you’ll love it.”
As soon as he said that, the crowd immediately snapped. “Sebastian is really a loser. I thought he had some balls for causing a ruckus at the deity banquet, but I didn’t expect him to be a coward.”
“He had offended so many people, so he definitely became afraid when he calmed down. That’s why he took this chance to apologize to Mr. Lionel. If Mr. Lionel forgives him, his meager life will be spared.”
“You’re right. This loser finally lost his nerve. Someone else is stealing his wife, but he’s still here to give them a wedding gift. He’s so fucking useless that he’s embarrassing to
us men.”
Everyone derided Sebastian, their gazes filled with contempt.
On the other hand, Lillian’s gaze was filled with disappointment. She was still worried when Sebastian came over, but she didn’t expect him to just be in the venue to give a gift. He disappointed her.
“It’s fine. I won’t owe him anything from now on,” she thought.”
Lionel smiled, looking extremely smug. “You finally know your place, you brat. Let me see your gift. If I like it, I’ll let bygones be bygones.”
Lionel sneered internally. He was just settling Sebastian down so he wouldn’t ruin the wedding. He would slowly teach him a lesson later on.
