Chapter 17
He had four formidable Gods of War under his command, and Lord Hydra and Lord Cyclops were two of them.
These warriors were meticulously trained by him. Each of them was formidable in their own right. Having Lord Hydra and Lord Cyclops by his side would alleviate much of his burden.
"Alright, I'll take care of it right away," Natalie replied.
Just as she was about to leave, another thought struck her. "Mr. Wilder, there's something else. We've just received a report from our informant in the Smith family. Steven has just proposed to Lillian at the Smith residence."
"I see. I'll handle this matter personally."
A man usually had two crucial priorities: career and women.
The woman he held dearest was Lillian Smith. With her being coerced into marriage, he couldn't simply stand by and do nothing.
Just as Sebastian was preparing to head to the Smith residence, he received a call from Lillian.
Before he could say anything, he heard Lillian's voice, choked with tears. "Sebastian, are you still willing to marry me?"
"Of course. Are you okay?" Sebastian asked, concerned.
"Bring your ID and birth certificate, and meet me at the city hall," Lillian said before hanging up.
She admitted she was impulsive, but she had no other choice.
If she had to choose between Sebastian and Steven, she would choose Sebastian without hesitation.
While Steven was undoubtedly talented, he was also hypocritical. She had made it clear that she didn't like him, yet he still came to propose. That alone disgusted her.
In contrast, Lillian couldn't entirely fault Sebastian although he had taken her innocence. Even when he exploited Elijah's illness to pressure her into intimacy, his approach was transparent and forthright. He was a true villain.
While both hypocrites and true villains were undesirable, she preferred the latter.
Of course, the main reason was that she had already given herself to Sebastian and was carrying his child. Marrying him was the best choice.
After Sebastian hung up the phone, he smiled radiantly.
He had initially thought it would take some effort to win over Lillian, but happiness had come so suddenly.
Sebastian knew Lillian's sudden decision was likely due to her family pressuring her into marriage, yet it didn't truly concern him.
Once they were married, she would be his. Fully conquering her was just a matter of time.
Sebastian changed into a sleek black suit and groomed himself meticulously. Looking at the stunning reflection in the mirror, he nodded in satisfaction.
As Sebastian exited the office, he coincidentally bumped into Natalie. She was momentarily stunned at the sight of him.
Sebastian had never bothered to dress up before, and his attire was always casual.
However, after taking the time to groom himself meticulously, he had transformed into the epitome of a wealthy young gentleman. His tall, imposing figure and rugged features only enhanced his captivating charm.
"Ms. Green, what's got you so lost in thought?" Sebastian waved his hand in front of her.
"Ah…" Natalie snapped out of her daze, a blush rising to her cheeks. "Mr. Wilder, I've contacted Lord Hydra and Lord Cyclops in your name."
"Excellent. Keep tracking their movements, and inform me immediately if there are any developments," Sebastian instructed.
"Yes." Natalie hesitated for a moment before asking, "Mr. Wilder, are you dressing up so handsomely for a date?" This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"I'm getting married," Sebastian announced with a smile. He then hailed a taxi to the city hall.
Meanwhile, Lillian was already waiting at the city hall's entrance.
She wore a white dress highlighting her tall, slender figure, complemented by elegant high-heels.
Her hair cascaded over her shoulders, and a youthful glow adorned her face, exuding an ethereal beauty that captivated every passerby.
Pedestrians couldn't help but steal glances at her, and even a couple walking by couldn't escape the allure, resulting in the man receiving a slap from his companion.
"Lillian, you look stunning." Sebastian walked toward her. At that moment, he was brimming with excitement.
Despite his status, where countless women would eagerly pursue him, Lillian was the only one on his mind.
A flicker of surprise crossed Lillian's eyes. Sebastian had always struck her as somewhat unkempt, but at that moment, he exuded a charm that made her heart skip a beat.
