Chapter 340: Chapter 188: Sebastian Sheldon Pushed into the Spotlight, No Way Out (2nd Update)

Sebastian Sheldon nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I’ve always loved you."

"Love me? How am I supposed to believe that a woman who loves me would marry my brother?"

Hunter Warren looked at her with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"I..." Sebastian Sheldon bit her lip: "I was forced, under those circumstances, I had no other choice."

"So, you were also forced when you went to the hotel to find my brother?"

Sebastian Sheldon’s expression tightened: "...Did Faye Townsend tell you? It’s a misunderstanding, all of it.

Hunter, you know I’m not that kind of person.

You also know that Faye Townsend has always misunderstood me.

She never liked me from the start.

Even when we were together back then, she never hid her dislike for me.

Hunter, you can’t be so unfair to me.

How can you just take her side because I haven’t stayed by you all these years?"

"Who really dislikes who?

You speak of Faye Townsend like this, but I’ve never heard her mention this news.

I didn’t even know Faye Townsend was aware of these things.

Everything I told you was informed by my grandmother. If you’re not such a person, then that means my grandmother is lying.

Do you think I would believe that my grandmother, who raised me, would lie to me?"

Sebastian Sheldon looked down, a flash of panic in her eyes. At times like this, she couldn’t say that the grandmother was lying.

She cursed inwardly; that damn old thing had clearly promised she wouldn’t speak of it.

But she spoke nonetheless.

"I did go to the hotel indeed, but I just wanted to tell Lucas Warren that I was not that kind of person."

Sebastian Sheldon was somewhat anxious, "Although we have been apart for many years, you know what kind of person I was during those years."

"Huh." Hunter Warren let out a sarcastic, cold laugh.

"Why are you laughing, Hunter? Don’t you believe me?

I really am innocent, you must believe me."

"How do you expect me to believe you? A call would have sufficed; you’re so smart, did you really need to go there in person?

Sebastian Sheldon, we’re not fools, shall we just lay it all out and speak frankly?"

Sebastian Sheldon also hesitated upon seeing Hunter Warren’s unusual gaze.

Hunter Warren raised his eyebrows, his tone tinged with regret: "Do you intend to let this misunderstanding continue until the day we die?

Don’t you feel terrible facing me this way?

If you don’t feel bad, I’ll tell you, I do.

Tell me, why did you really go see my brother that year?

Why did you deceive me, saying you liked me, yet you went to the hotel to find my brother?

Don’t tell me you just wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation with him at night.

If you’re willing to open up to me, I will certainly do the same."

Sebastian Sheldon bit her lip, hesitating.

Hunter Warren shook his head: "Forget it, you can go. I know that from the beginning, you never intended to be honest with me."

Sebastian Sheldon sniffled, tears in her eyes: "Back then... I was a bit afraid.

My grandmother wanted me to leave you; I couldn’t bear it.

You know, I truly loved you; otherwise, I wouldn’t have wanted to stay by your side against all odds.

But my grandmother and Faye Townsend threatened me, saying if I didn’t leave you, they wouldn’t let me live a good life.

At that time, our life together was very poor, a life I’ve always been accustomed to; I could endure that kind of life, but you, Hunter Warren, could not.

You are a scion of a lofty family; how could you suffer because of me?

I didn’t like how you looked somewhat shabby back then.

I like it when you are in a commanding position, leading everything.

Besides, you might not have felt it, but there was clearly no happiness in your eyes then.

I don’t like it when I bring you down from the clouds.

So when I saw Lucas Warren inviting me, I was tempted.

I thought, even if he could give us a million, at least you wouldn’t have to live so miserably.

You said you could make a comeback.

But without capital, how could you make a comeback?

I just wanted to help you."

Hunter Warren scoffed: "So, you sold yourself for a million?

You say it’s for me, but you know very well what it’s really for."

Sebastian Sheldon stood up, walked over to Hunter Warren, and reached out to grab his wrist. Hunter Warren felt a surge of disgust but suppressed it well.

"Hunter, don’t be like this; didn’t you want me to be honest with you?

What I am saying now is all true.

Lucas Warren didn’t say how much money he would give me, I just... I really only wanted to negotiate."
