Remorse After Breaking Up

"That brat escaped after hurting Mr. Kieran. We have no idea where he is right now. I've sent out all of our men to look for him, and I'm certain we'll get a hold of him soon. However…"

"Go on," Andrew urged.

"Lillian's the Smith family's daughter. She returned home shortly after the incident. I don't think she'll show up in a while."

"Why do we have to wait for her to show up? Go straight to her house and capture her. Kill anyone who gets in our way," Andrew growled.

Bryce didn't have to worry further upon hearing Andrew's orders. He immediately led his men to Lillian's house.

…

"Lillian, what happened, exactly? Why did Kieran suddenly get injured? Which bastard did it?" Evelyn asked, genuinely intrigued.

"Actually…" Lillian hesitated, but she still told them the truth.

"What?" Evelyn was appalled. The others were equally shell-shocked.

"That asshole has really got some nerve! It was bad enough to offend the Lisbon and Cadwell families last time, but how dare he cripple Mr. Miller's son?

"He shouldn't drag us down with him even if he has a death wish!" Evelyn shrieked in terror.

"Seriously, Lillian? I don't mean to criticize you, but look at what you've done! You chose this worthless bastard over Mr. Harris.

"Not only is he worthless, he's an incorrigible troublemaker. Well, look at him now! Our entire family will suffer because he offended Mr. Miller!" Lucas hollered.

Belinda was fuming. "Grandpa entrusted the company to you. But what did you do? Never mind not contributing to the family, you caused such a huge problem.

"I think your position as CEO should be revoked immediately. Let Lucas take over instead. He'll surely be ten times better than you."

"Enough! Stop arguing." Elijah was outraged. "What's done is done. Quarreling isn't going to solve the issue."

"Dad, it's simple. Sebastian was the one who hit Kieran. Just hand him over to Mr. Miller, and we'll cut all ties with him."

"Exactly! Where's that bastard Sebastian?" Evelyn turned toward Lillian.

"He already left. He's probably away from Ravenview now," Lillian said.

"What? Is he actually running away? What are you waiting for? Call him and ask him to get back here!" Evelyn hissed. "We'll be doomed if Mr. Miller can't find him."

"Your mom's right. Ask him to come back now," Ronan chimed in. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Elijah remained silent, but he clearly agreed with their opinion.

He had high hopes for Sebastian initially. However, he was too much of a troublemaker. He was bound to bring them trouble eventually.

The others, who already disliked Sebastian, hated him even more.

Lillian shook her head. "I can't do that. He'll be in danger if I do so."

"You silly girl! Stop worrying about him when we're already struggling to keep ourselves safe!" Evelyn berated.

"Yeah, there's plenty of good men out there. Why are you so infatuated with a worthless troublemaker?" Belinda said scornfully.

"He did it to save me," Lillian said.

"Kieran drugged you because he's in love with you. I completely understand. But Sebastian deserves to die when he attacked Kieran and crippled him!" Belinda huffed.

Lucas nodded earnestly. "Mom's right. To be honest, Lillian, you should be honored that Kieran fancies you. It'll be better for you to date Kieran instead of that loser."

Ronan was furious. "You're so clueless! If you've given in to Kieran, we wouldn't be put in this tough spot now."

"You're all…" Lillian choked, tears streaming down her cheeks out of fury.

Just then, a maid darted toward them, screaming frantically, "Oh no, the Shadowtiger clan's here!"

"What?"

The entire family jerked up, fear and anxiety evident in their eyes.
