“Lila, I’ll inform your parents in advance that you will be returning. You can pack up your things and go to them. Take away all your belongings now.” He paused for a few seconds and glanced at Johanna. Then he continued, “We will also give you some money so that you can live on with your life.”
“No, Dad, Mom, I don’t want…” Lila wiped her tears away. Her eyes had begun to sting. She collapsed on the carpet and refused to leave. Leaving the family would mean that she would no longer be a White family member.
All she had, the extravagant, rich life, the money, and the social status, would all fall away.
Lila refused to move and continued to cry her eyes out. Beal sighed heavily.
“I know it will be hard for you to take this. We will give you three days to pack up everything. But we don’t want to see you around here after that.”
Johanna was afraid that she would soften if she stayed at this piteous scene. She gathered her coat up and got to her feet. She instructed a nearby servant who was busy cleaning, “Go to Lila’s room and pack up her things for her. If there is just too much jewelry and clothing to pack, call the moving company. There’s no need to prepare lunch. We will be eating out.”
Hearing what Johanna said, Lila became more distressed than ever. She stood up and rushed to Johanna. She held her leg and said, “Mom, I don’t want to be separated from you. I have never left your side since the day I was born. You can’t do this to me!”
Johanna pursed her lips. She squatted down and wiped the tears off Lila’s face with her fingers. Her voice was as gentle and kind as it had been when Lila was a child, but there was only coldness in her eyes.
“Lila, don’t embarrass yourself anymore. You used to be the daughter of the White family. You should keep your dignity when you leave. There are consequences that you must bear for your decisions. You can’t stay a child forever.”
When Lila heard her words, she was utterly flummoxed for a while. She was so out of it that she didn’t know when but Johanna and Beal had left. She watched their receding figures, covered her face and burst into a fresh onslaught of tears.
Natalie’s sprained ankle had swollen up. Sebastian got to his feet to get the pain relieving cream for her. He carefully applied it to her ankle and gently rubbed it for a while.
After that, he left to fetch some ice cubes for her. Since Sebastian carried her back to the room, she had kept her eyes down and hadn’t uttered a word.
After all the panic and anxiety had dissipated, she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be angry with Sebastian. She stared blankly at the bedsheet, at an utter loss. She was mortified that she had allowed herself to cry in such an unrestrained way in his arms earlier.
Sebastian hadn’t said a word either. He had been busy attending to her and taking care of her from the moment that they had got to the room. The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward.
In the end, it was Sebastian who decided to break the silence. He simply treated the wounds on his knees and legs and sat beside Natalie on the bed. With a gentle expression, he asked, “Is there any other injury on your body?”
Natalie thought that if she spoke now, he would think that she had forgiven him. She raised her head, stared into his eyes and shook her head. She was as stubborn as a bull, and didn’t say anything. Looking at her expression, Sebastian couldn’t help but smile.
“It was my fault. I shouldn’t have jumped to any conclusion before I found out the facts of the matter,” he said slowly with a serious expression. With a snort, Natalie turned her head away.
“You can snap at me. I just don’t want you to keep how you feel all to yourself,” Sebastian said and affectionately pinched her cheek.
Although she still didn’t look happy, he knew her very well. Based on his experience with her, if she had that look on her face, it was most probable that she wasn’t actually angry anymore. It was the cue that he had to say and do whatever more it took to gain her forgiveness.
“By the way, are you going to let go of Lila just like that?” He purposely changed the topic. He had given it due thought and he felt that what Lila had done was wrong. He didn’t want to let the person who had attempted to kill his wife go so easily and flout the consequences of their daring actions.
When she thought of this, Natalie couldn’t help but get furious. She said with a sigh, “I am furious beyond words! I have to let her off scot-free once again!”
Last time.
Lila had deliberately concealed the fact that there was something wrong with the parachute, and Natalie almost died because of it.
She hadn’t even had a chance to mete out revenge against Lila yet, and now, the woman had tried to kill her again.
“You know that sometimes you don’t have to put your parents’ feelings before yours, right?” Sebastian squatted down on the ground and carefully grasped her ankle between his palms. He continued to rub it slowly and asked, “How do you want her to be punished?”
The implication underlying his words was that he could assist in punishing Lila. Her ankle hurt so badly that Natalie took a deep, steadying breath.

“Oh, I was just kidding. I didn’t want to upset Mom and Dad. Besides, Lila has been kicked out of the family. That was a lesson enough for her.”
She was telling the truth. She had witnessed what Sebastian was capable of back in Seacisco. “I didn’t intend on letting her go,”
Sebastian said and sighed slightly.
“But since you insist, fine.” He really wanted to teach Lila a lesson, but since Natalie had decided to let her go, his hands were tied. With a sweet smile, Natalie lowered her head and pinched Sebastian’s cheek.
“Good boy.”
With a smile, Sebastian slowed down his movement and asked, “Have you forgiven me now?” Natalie was surprised. She let go of his face and snorted.
“No!” Sebastian stood up and bent over to ki*s her on the cheek.
“What about now?” he asked in a low voice. He slowly moved down her body, ki*sing her on the lips and then her neck. He nimbly unbuttoned her shirt and put his fingertips up her skirt. Natalie had a bad feeling. She wanted to resist, but Sebastian had already pressed down on her. He held her legs between his and his hands slipped into her panties. It was already wet down there.
“Sebastian… I haven’t forgiven you yet…” Suddenly, Natalie’s face turned bright crimson. It was as if she had gotten an electric shock.
She could feel herself wet down there. Sebastian slowly took off his suit and tie, his eyes glowing with desire. Her cheeks turned even deeper red. She had to admit that, in this moment, Sebastian was irresistibly attractive to her. She blushed and pushed him away gently.
“My ankle…” Sebastian had already undone his belt and pushed open her legs.
“I’ll be very careful. I won’t touch that part of you at all.”
Sebastian took hold of Natalie‘s hand and led it downwards. His penis was already hard as rock and pulsating with heat. Although Natalie had slept with Sebastian many times, she couldn‘t help but marvel at his size every single time. She firmly but gently gripped his throbbing, hot penis in her hand.
Sebastian was busy sucking on her nipple and was caught off guard. He frowned slightly and his eyes were full of fiery lust. He let out a muffled groan as his Adam‘s apple rolled.
“Move your hand up and down,” Sebastian said as he held Natalie‘s hand, guiding her. His whole face was buried in her chest.
As Natalie‘s palms rubbed against his penis, he moaned even louder. Sebastian stretched out his fingers and slipped them under her dress. His fingertips rubbed against her labia through the thin material of her panties. It was only when her underwear became wet that he lifted her legs, slipped off her dress and cast it aside under the bed, together with her underwear.
Natalie moaned. She was very sensitive today. She tilted her hips towards him lustfully as she moaned. Sebastian raised his hand before her so she could see the watery liquid on his fingertips.
“You got wet pretty quickly, honey.” He held her chin and stick his tongue in her mouth in a passionate ki*s. Natalie responded to his ki*s shyly and clamped her legs.
