Remorse After Breaking Up

The bidding results would be announced in an hour. The companies waited for the announcement patiently.

Lillian was slightly nervous. She hadn't initiated any major projects ever since she took over the company, and the other shareholders weren't very happy with her.

Jamie, especially, yearned to oust her from the CEO position.

Thus, this bidding was crucial for her. She had to win this bid to shut those people up.

Sebastian noticed her concern and comforted her with a smile. "Rest assured. We'll definitely win the bid this time."

"It's all thanks to Steven if we win the bid. What does it have to do with you?" Evelyn sneered.

"Exactly. Mr. Harris has already talked to Kieran. He'll definitely let us take charge of the project for Mr. Harris' sake. How shameless of you to try to steal his credit!" Lily jeered.

Sebastian didn't argue further. He would let the facts speak for himself.

Just then, Steven received a call from Kieran. "Kieran wants to have a chat with me. I'll be right back."

Scowling at Sebastian, Lily hissed, "See how close Mr. Harris is with Kieran? You're both men, but you don't even deserve to be Mr. Harris' slave."

"Lily, you've gone too far!" Lillian snapped, glowering at Lily before Sebastian could get upset.

"Ms. Smith, I'm just telling the truth. It's a fact, after all," Lily retorted defiantly.

"Shut up! Spout one more word of nonsense, and I'll fire you right away!" Lillian bellowed.

Lillian was seething. Though she was only married to Sebastian for convenience, she wouldn't tolerate anyone demeaning him.

Lily was still indignant, but she didn't dare to argue further. Her job was easy, and she was well paid. Most importantly, she could meet other rich men.

A smile crept onto Sebastian's lips. He was over the moon to see Lillian defending him despite her claiming to dislike him.

…

Meanwhile, Steven was sipping wine while chatting with a man. Each of them had a voluptuous woman in their arms.

"Mr. Harris, this chick isn't bad, right?" Kieran asked with a lecherous grin.

"Yeah. Thanks, Kieran," Steven said in a haste.

Kieran waved his hand dismissively. "Cut the pleasantries. Get Lillian over here."

"Why do you ask for her?" Steven grew wary. He knew what Kieran was like—he would become a dog in heat whenever he saw an attractive woman. His requesting Lillian's presence meant trouble.

Kieran snickered. "Of course, it's to have fun with her. I drugged her last time, but she escaped. Now that she's in my territory, I'll have to teach her a lesson."

Steven's expression changed drastically. He plastered a smile hastily and said, "Come on, Kieran. Lillian's my fiancée. How about I get you another woman?"

Kieran's expression darkened in an instant. "Steven, are you trying to defy me?"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Don't be angry, Kieran. I'll agree to any of your conditions as long as you spare Lillian." Smiling docilely, Steven sprang up from his seat.

"Then get me a woman who's more attractive than her," Kieran snapped.

"That's impossible. I won't be able to find one even after turning Ravenview upside down." Steven was in a tough spot.

Lillian held the title of the prettiest woman in Ravenview City. In fact, it was an extremely daunting task to search for a woman whose looks were on par with hers, let alone one who was prettier than her.

Kieran sneered. "Since you can't find one, then get her here now. She might be your fiancée, but what can you do about it?

"I'm going to fuck your woman in front of you. Do you have an issue with that?"
