Chapter 565
Upstairs, Jaxon was in the study, feeling somewhat uneasy under Sebastian's intense gaze.
Finally, he snapped, "Alright! I get it! It was Julia who did it, and I just stood by and let it happen. Are you happy now?!"
"As long as you admit it, that's all I need."
Jaxon said with a hint of irritation, "Don't let it happen again! Let's just let this slide. I won't stoop so low as to harm a little girl. Only Julia could be so ruthless.
It was bad enough that she was heartless towards herself and her own child, but to be so ruthless towards others. The biggest regret of my life was letting your father marry Julia! She was only hurting herself and others!"
"If you really care about me. Stop protecting that little girl in the future; it's enough if you don't harm her. She...she means something different to me now."
Jaxon glared at him, "How is it different? It hasn't been that long!"Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Sebastian pointed to his heart, "She has found a place in here... She has become indispensable to me."
Jaxon grumbled, "Don't give me that young people's talk! I just don't like that little girl!"
"But you don't have a choice. When that little girl gets angry, even Emmert hesitated to talk back."
"Emmert?"
"Yep, the one you're thinking of. If you don't want him pointing his finger at you and cursing you out, you better behave."
"Is this girl really Zachary's child? Are you sure?"
"Emmert doesn't have any doubts. Her eyes are too similar to his sister, Joana's. They're exactly like Zachary's!"
"Then why can't Rebecca recognize her?"
"She doesn't like that little girl. She's in denial; it's normal. Emmert may be getting old, but his eyes are still sharp, he doesn't mistake people."
"So... what if she really is a member of the Snider family? The Snider family is in a bad spot right now."
Sebastian scoffed, "The Snider family may be in a bad spot, but you still think highly of Caroline Snider. Why is this little girl any different?"
"Bullshit! Caroline Snider's father is still alive; he's the head of the Snider family!
Zachary may be a big deal as he used to run the show in B City, but wasn't he still in a coma? Whether he could wake up or not was still a question!
This little girl's grandparents are both gone. She's an enemy to Rebecca; at most, she's an orphan; what use is she?"
"You're all about the benefits, but I value emotions. I may have been raised by you, but you should know why I value emotions more."
He knew, alright. Because emotions were what Sebastian had been lacking since childhood.
He couldn't resist any temptation from the outside world!
What was so great about that little girl?!
"I've made it clear. This little girl is not as bad as you think. Once you accept her, stop talking behind her back and be nice to her, you'll see how kind she is.
And even if her current status is unclear and she's just an ordinary person, maybe not matching up to the Ingram family's status, so what? She saved my life.
Her future worth won't be any less than that of any mistress of the Ingram family. I can earn that for her, without relying on the Skyline Corporation or the Ingram family.
Her future worth won't be too high, just the same as the daughters of the Snider family at their prime."
