Chapter 417
As it was getting late, Cassandra dismissed the others and went to take a shower.
She went back to her bedroom, wearing only a bathrobe, only to find a man lying on her bed. She instinctively let out a shrill scream.
"Sebastian, what are you doing here?" Cassandra yelled while quickly backing out of the
room.
She knew how powerful Sebastian was. Luke was at least as skilled as she was, but he had been completely helpless in front of Sebastian. It would be the same for her.
"Ms. Lennon, it's me. We just had a good time yesterday! How could you forget me so quickly?" Ethan's voice suddenly came from inside the room.
Cassandra had been about to escape when she suddenly stopped, looking doubtful.
However, she returned to her room and stared at Sebastian. She asked, "Were you the one talking just now?"
Sebastian was lying on his side in bed with his head propped up on one hand, grinning at her. "Is there anyone else here apart from me?"
"You were the old man from yesterday!" Realization dawned on Cassandra.
"That's right. Are you surprised?" Sebastian asked, beaming.
"You're shameless!" Cassandra gritted her teeth.
Phaedra Island was a remote place that was cut off from the rest of the world. The culture there still resembled that of ancient times, and chastity was very important.
Cassandra had faithfully kept chaste for over 20 years, but Sebastian had ruthlessly taken it from her. There was a dull ache in her heart whenever she thought about it.
However, right now she felt rather pleased. She had thought that it was an old man who had taken her innocence.
She had been both sad and disgusted at the time, and even though she had washed herself relentlessly after the act, she still felt unclean.
Now that she had discovered that it had been Sebastian, she was still angry, but she no longer felt very bad about it.
After all, Sebastian was young and handsome. He was much better than an old man.
Of course, she only felt slightly better. She was still very angry, and she felt a sudden impulse to kill Sebastian.
Sebastian smiled and said, "Ms. Lennon, you called me shameless, but are you any better? If you hadn't drugged me, I would never have done such a thing. You basically got what you
deserved. You can't blame me for that."
Cassandra was rendered speechless. She knew very well that he was right.
"Sebastian, you are too bold! Not only did you cause chaos at Luke's wedding, you even castrated him! My grandfather will never forgive you."
"Since I decided to do it, then I'm not going to be scared. You saw how strong my powers are. Although I'm still not quite strong enough to face your grandfather, it'll still be very difficult for him to kill me. Besides, I'm still young. After a couple more years, do you think your grandfather will be able to stand against me?" Sebastian asked.
Cassandra said nothing. She had no choice but to admit that he was right.
Sebastian was already so powerful at such a young age, and he was clearly very talented. It was only a matter of time before he surpassed Julian.
"Sebastian, you said that you were going to help me improve my cultivation base. Does this promise still count?" Cassandra asked.
"I always keep my word. However, you didn't rescue Lana." Sebastian's voice was rather cold.
He had told Cassandra to rescue Lana, and then he'd trusted Jeremiah. However, everything had failed.
He had worked so hard, but he had still been unable to prevent Lana marrying into the Lennon family.
Cassandra said, "Luke's maimed now. Lana is definitely safe. I'll find a chance to get her out.
"Alright. I'll give you one more chance. Don't disappoint me again," Sebastian said. Cassandra nodded. She had already made up her mind to rescue Lana as soon as possible. After all, Luke was now maimed. He could no longer have children. As long as she could get into the Divine Realm within a short period of time, she would have a chance to become the first female head of the Lennon family.
That night, Sebastian and Cassandra slept in the same bed, but nothing happened between them.
Early the next morning, Cassandra went home. However, she returned soon after. "Sebastian, I have news for you. There's good news and bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?"
"Good news."
"The good news is that Luke's divorced Lana," Cassandra said.
"Then, what's the bad news?" Sebastian asked quickly.
"The bad news is that Grandpa's announced to the world that if you don't appear by sunset, he'll find a group of men and let them have their way with Lana in turn. They'll do it until she dies."
