Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian)

Chapter 244

Upon seeing Sebastian, Lillian's eyes flickered with surprise. Rumors outside claimed the Supreme One was old and ugly. Though rumors weren't always reliable, Travis had seen the Supreme One himself and confirmed his advanced age.

Although she couldn't see the face of the person before her, he had black hair and smooth, rosy skin. He looked nothing like an elderly man. However, she didn't dwell on it. She approached Sebastian and greeted him, "All hail the Supreme One."

"What brings you here, Ms. Lillian?" Sebastian asked directly.

A hint of skepticism flashed in Lillian's eyes. Though Sebastian intentionally lowered his voice, she still felt a sense of familiarity. "I'd like to request an invitation to the supreme banquet," she said, fixing a hopeful gaze on Sebastian.

She had a wager with Lyra. If Lyra received an invitation and she didn't, Lillian would have to relinquish her position as president.

She didn't know Lyra had already visited Sebastian and secured an invitation. But as long as she could get one, she would be safe.

"Go to Joseph for the invitation," Sebastian replied without hesitation. After all, they had once been married, and granting her one or even multiple invitations was no issue.

"Thank you, Supreme One!" Lillian exclaimed excitedly.

However, her expression quickly turned awkward, and she hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Sebastian asked, "Is there something else?"

Taking a deep breath, Lillian gathered her courage. "I have another request, although it's rather awkward. I'd like you to grant me a project contract."

Sebastian fell silent. He had initially planned to award a ten billion-dollar project to the Smith family, but Lillian and the Smiths' actions had angered him, leading to its cancellation. Now, with Lillian personally requesting it, he hesitated.

The thought of granting her request still stirred up his anger, but he would feel unkind if he rejected her.

Seeing Sebastian remain silent, Lillian grew anxious and quickly said, "Supreme One, do you remember last month's signing event? Phoenix Corporation had a ten-billion-dollar project planned with the Smith Group, but someone disrupted it, and in your anger, you canceled the deal.

"I'm begging you to give us another chance. I promise we won't disappoint you."

"Who caused the disruption?" Sebastian asked, though he already knew the answer.

"It was my ex-husband. He was angry about our divorce, so he disrupted the signing out of

spite. Please give me another chance, I'm begging you," Lillian pleaded. The Smith Group was in deep trouble, and without this project, they would have to file for bankruptcy.

Hearing this, Sebastian clenched his fists in fury. The Smith family's actions had led to this situation, yet they blamed him. It was infuriating.

"There are plenty of people who want projects from Phoenix Corporation. Why should I give it to you?" Sebastian asked, struggling to contain his anger.

Lillian was at a loss for words. The Smith Group was no longer what it used to be and had no advantages compared to other companies.

"I can give you a chance. Follow me," Sebastian said. With that, he stood up and headed toward his room.

Lillian followed him without hesitation. When she saw him enter the room, she realized what he meant. She hesitated at the door, but thinking of her company's dire situation and her family's expectations, she gritted her teeth and went in.

"Close the door, undress, and lie on the bed," Sebastian commanded in a tone that brooked no argument.
