Chapter 84
“Sebastian, let’s just drop it,” Lillian said, feeling bad for them.
Sebastian smirked at Derick. “Mr. Simmons, it seems that they didn’t hear what you’d said.”
Derick grew furious. “All of you must have a death wish! Men! Drag them away, and feed them to the dogs!”
“Don’t! I’ll fulfill my end of the bet” Lucas was the first to back down.
“I’ll fulfillmy end too,” Chris also said
As for the cowardly Lyra, she had long since run away.
“This way, please, Mr. and Mrs. Wilder!” Derick said, inviting the two inside.
After entering the building, Derick served tea to the two and handed a bidding invitation letter to Lillian with a bowed head.
However, the more respectful he was, the more uneasy Lilian felt. After some besitation, she gathered the courage and said, “Mr. Simmons, there’s something I must confess. This pendant isn’t the Seraphic Tear Pendant”
Lillian grew even more nervous after the confession. She didn’t know how Derick would deal with her after knowing the truth.
“Seraphic Tear Pendant?” Derick chuckled and shook his head. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Mrs. Wilder.”
The Seraphic Tear Pendant was the Supreme One’s token, and only a few high–ranking members of the Supreme Nexus knew about it.
Andrew had only recognized the pendant because he had an uncle who was a high–ranking member of the Supreme Nexus who had showed him a picture of the Seraphic Tear
Pendant.
Although Phoenix Corporation belonged to Sebastian, only a handful of people knew about the Seraphic Tear Pendant. Although Derick was the vice president of a branch company, he was far from being considered a high–ranking member, Naturally, he didn’t know about the pendant
Oh “Lillian looked surprised. “I thought you referred to me as the Supreme’s wife because of this pendant.”
Derick shook his head with a smile
“Then, why did you call me that?” Lillian asked, puzzled.
“It was an order from the boss. I’m not sure about the specifics,” Derick explained with a smile.
“Where’s your boss? Can you take me to him? Lilian wanted to figure out why. Otherwise, she would continue to feel uneasy.
“Well..” Derick glanced at Sebastian awkwardly. “I’m sure you’ll have the chance to meet him soon.”
Lillian had been pondering about this the entire time, but she still couldn’t figure out why.
Since Sebastian needed to change his dressings, Lillian took him to the hospital before returning home.
After arriving home, Elijah was also surprised when he heard the story.
Lyra huffed “Grandpa, Mr. Simmons must have been mistaken. I’m the one who should hold the title of the Supreme’s wife.”
“Why would you think that?” Elijah was confused,
Lyra proudly said, “A few days ago, I met an old man exercising near the Phoenix Corporation. That old man was extremely ugly, but he kept staring at me. I didn’t think much of it back then. But thinking back on it, he’s most likely the Supreme One.”
