Chapter 192
Sebastian’s fingers brushed against a sanitary pad and he closed his eyes, his expression darkening instantly.
“I’ve restrained myself for so long.”
Flustered, Natalie covered her face with her hands.
This was not what she wanted either.
In an attempt to alleviate her shame, she changed the topic.
“How about we go shopping? We can buy some gift for your grandmother!”
Rubbing the spot between his eyebrows, Sebastian sighed and nodded helplessly.
The Klein family lived in a luxurious mansion built at the foot of a mountain. The trees were dense.
Flowers and shrubs were trimmed and sculpted into various shapes in the garden.
A plump woman in her forties was directing servants as they decorated the living room.
She was wearing a tight black velvet dress.
Nora’s 80th birthday was in two days.
Patrick had invited many guests from rich and powerful families in Seacisco and was planning to go all out for his mother’s birthday party.
“Replace all the flowers with peonies.Nora likes peonies.And the tablecloth here must be bright red-dark red or scarlet are forbidden.”
Elissa then looked at the curtain and frowned again.She had a pretty face, and with some makeup, she could look even more dignified.
However, there was a small black mole under her lip, which made her look a little mean.
The servants could only listen to her demands and changed everything to her liking.
After a while, a young man went downstairs, yawning.Still in pajamas, he scratched the back of his head and said impatiently, “What the hell are you doing? I had just fallen asleep when you woke me up!”
When she saw her dear son coming downstairs, Elissa looked to the servants gloomily and said, “Alright, you can leave first.Finish this after dinner.”
Then she looked at Ritchie and warned, “You’d better behave yourself. You didn’t get up until dinner is almost ready.Be careful or else your father will scold you again.”
Ritchie stretched and yawned lazily.
Then, he picked up an apple from the fruit bowl and grumbled, “I’m just pissed off by the Larson Group. They’re the reason why my sleeping schedule is messed up.By the way, I went to see Sebastian a few days ago. What the hell! I set up a trap for Natalie as well as caused Sebastian a lot of trouble.But the guy had taken care of everything!”
Ritchie didn’t even know how Sebastian had made it.
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at Elissa and narrowed his eyes.
“Mom, did Sebastian do well while I was abroad?”
Ritchie was starting to suspect that Sebastian was no longer the loser he could bully and trample on.
Hearing her son’s question, Elissa snorted arrogantly, “I don’t have the time to even think about that loser.Nor do I really care.Besides, how could he do a good job in anything? The Klein family cut him off, didn’t we?”
“Don’t you know that old saying, that we should look at others with new eyes after some time has passed?”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
And a few years had passed.
Now, it was hard for Ritchie to see through Sebastian.
“Hmm...” Elissa thought about it for a while.
All of a sudden, she felt that she had to be on her guard.
She had been afraid of Sebastian before, and now it seemed she had good reason to be scared.“Then we have to pay closer attention to Sebastian.Nora’s birthday is coming.A few days ago, she said that she hadn’t seen Sebastian in a long time and wanted to invite him to the birthday party.I’ve already told your father to tell Sebastian.We can use this party as an opportunity to test the water.”
Ritchie touched his chin and smiled.
“That’s good.I’ve been thinking about teaching that brat a lesson.Mom, let’s humiliate that bastard at the birthday party and see how he’ll react.”
Elissa sneered but said nothing.
She hadn’t seen the illegitimate son of the Klein family in a long time.
Nora’s birthday finally rolled around.
As the matriarch of the Klein family, Nora naturally had a prominent social standing in Seacisco, and her eightiet birthday garnered the attendance of high-profile personalities in the city.
In addition to the younger generation of the Klein family, practically half of the entire upper crust had come to wish her well.
Sebastian was invited, too, and he decided to take Natalie with him.
They drove to the outskirts of the city and through winding roads that led to a manor sitting at the foot of a mountain.
Already, a long line of luxury cars snaked-from the entrance of the venue and past the driveway.
It was a shocking sight for Natalie.
For a brief moment, she expected to step out of the car and onto a red carpet leading inside the manor.
It finally dawned on her just why everyone looked up to the Klein family.
Based on what she had seen so far, they might very well be a prestigious clan from legends of old.
“Watch your steps now,” Sebastian said, offering his hand to Natalie as he helped her out of the car.
He was dressed in a sleek, all-black suit that complimented his elegant bearing perfectly.Natalie held on to Sebastian’s arm as they glided into the manor.
A huge chandelier hung over the main hall, its countless crystals glimmering in the bright light.
All around, people garbed in exquisite evening attire loitered and engaged in light conversations.
As they waded their way through the hall, Natalie realized that dozens of sharp eyes were fixed on her.
No, to be exact, they were fixed on Sebastian, following his every move.
Elissa and Ritchie were standing in a far corner of the room, their disdainful gazes also locked on Sebastian.
