My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) -
Chapter 1894
For the sake of one's lifetime grudge, they had been at war for such a long time. One was the hunter, and the other was the prey. They were both extremely clever beings. But Sebastian made mistakes, and they became natural enemies.
The goal of taking back what he had lost and recovering his dignity by defeating Hendrix had become Sebastian's burning life obsession.
He would not miss any chance to take revenge on Hendrix. Therefore, Sebastian would definitely come.
And I understood Hendrix all too well. He had given Sebastian this chance on purpose. Perhaps he planned to put an end to the bad blood between Sebastian and himself, but it may also be because this was an opportunity to create panic on the island. While everyone ran around frantically and with security thrown off our trail, we would have the chance to find the antidote.
Whether or not the plan would succeed, it all depended on the timing of it all.
Hendrix and I found a table and sat down, waiting nervously for Sebastian to show up.
Moments later, Sebastian finally appeared. The light from the moon cascaded down on him as he walked towards us.
The golf course was very close to the pier. Sebastian had arrived on a yacht and had people following him.
Sebastian sat to Hendrix's right, separated by a table.
His men were lined up in the resting area of the court, double the number of bodyguards we had brought.
"Something came up last-minute. I must have kept you waiting for a long time, Hendrix." Sebastian sounded calmer than the last time they met.
"Cut the crap and get straight to it." Hendrix's patience had reached its limit.
Sebastian didn't hesitate and clapped his hands. Two men and a woman appeared in the distant night. To be exact, the two men were holding a woman between them, who seemed to be holding a child in her
arms.
As the woman approached, her face gradually came into view. "Aunt Nerissa...?" I muttered.
The woman had by then walked into the light and raised her head. My guess was confirmed. It was indeed Nerissa, the only remaining descendant of Roberts.
When Hendrix saw her, he
subconsciously tightened his grip on my hand. However, he tried his best to stay calm as he asked, "Nerissa has married Jarred, and is now a member of the Milton family Why did you bring her here?"
Sebastian snorted coldly, "Hendrix, I have to say that I'm impressed that you're still able to remain calm. How admirable."
Sebastian's face turned icy cold. He narrowed his eyes and raised his chin, pointing it at the bodyguards beside Nerissa.
Seeing this, the bodyguard kicked
Nerissa's joints, and she fell to the ground with the child in her arms. At the same time, the bodyguard aimed his gun at the back of her head. Nerissa was so scared that she didn't move, but the child in her
arms was frightened and started to
cry.
I wanted to rush over, but Hendrix grabbed me tightly as he continued sitting in the chair quietly. His eyes were obscured, and I couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
I was angry and anxious. I bit my lips and said hatefully, "Sebastian, that's your uncle's wife and child, your family! They are innocent. What exactly are you trying to do?"
Sebastian was a total madman!
"Family? innocent?" Sebastian let out a sinister laugh. His face turned even colder and grimmer.
"I'm innocent too. There are many who also did horrible things and profited from them, yet Hendrix only came after me and won't let me go. If there really was a proper reason for this grudge, I would accept it. But the fact is that the Milton family was targeted because of a
misunderstanding between Hendrix and his father. Tell me, is this how innocent people deserve to be treated?"
