Chapter 19 âMy goddess is here. Iâll go and say hello to her. I canât let others beat me to it!â Luther was so excited that he put down the wine glass in his hand. casually and was about to go to greet Fiona.
Adrien glanced at Sebastian and grabbed Luther, asking, âAre you a fool?â
Luther was confused. âWhatâs wrong with me? Iâm telling you, I am choosing a wife this time according to the instructions of my family. It is different from beforeâ¦â
Sebastian glanced at him and asked, âWhat do you mean?â
âWell, my grandparents have wanted me to have children for a long time.â Luther realized something was wrong again. He looked at Sebastian and shrank his neck, asking. âSebastian, why are you looking at me like that? Have I offended you today? Whatâs wrong with you?â
Sebastian ignored Luther and raised the champagne in his hand towards Fiona, Fiona nodded slightly and smiled at Sebastian.
Sebastian smiled and said, âDonât get ahead of yourself. Sheâs gazing and beaming at me, blowing kisses my way. If she were to fall for anyone, it would undoubtedly be me. Donât inflate your ego too much! With me in her sight, how could she possibly fancy you?â
*Adrien looked at Sebastian in surprise and couldnât help laughing Lutherâs mouth wide opened in shock. âYou⦠She⦠You mean?â Luther stammered.
Sebastian said in a cold and murderous tone, âAre you trying to steall my woma woman?â
Luther shook his head repeatedly. It was not like he wanted to die. Besides, he couldnât beat Sebastian anyway.
âThatâs good.â After saying so, Sebastian walked towards Fiona.
Luther trembled and murmured, âIf I said I was going to choose a wife for Sebastian, do you think he would believe it? Why didnât you remind me after all this time?â
Adrien patted Luther on the shoulder with sympathy and comforted, âHavenât I reminded you? At Blueden Girlsâ School before, I advised you not to talk if you didnât know the right words to say. Just now, when you wanted to chat with your goddess, I stopped you, didnât I? How could you even mention the children? I said you were a fool. Can you deny it? Poor guy!â
Helplessly, Luther comforted himself, âSebastian is different from you. He doesnât value women more than friends!â
Looking at Sebastian who was stopped by Sean, Adrien said indifferently, âHe does, and he may go further than I do?
âMr. Quinn.â Sean came forward and blocked Sebastianâs way. Since the delay, Nathan got the chance to talk to Fiona first, which made Sebastian frown.
Sean was calm and said to Sebastian, âFifi can handle it.â
Sebastianâs handsome face darkened, and his deep eyes were full of coldness. âFifi?â
Sean continued, âIâve known her for a long time and have always called her that. I heard from Fifi that you had helped her in the Quinn residence last time. Thanks.â Sean raised his glass and wanted to make a toast to Sebastian, but Sebastian avoided it.
Then he said, âWhy do you feel the need to thank me? Did she request you to do so? She never mentioned you to me, but always assured me that she would personally express her gratitude.â Upon noticing Seanâs frown, Sebastian smiled and lightly tapped the glass he had just dodged. âYou donât possess what she can provide me with and what I desire from her,â Sebastian added.
Sean looked at Sebastian. When their eyes met, the atmosphere turned tense.

Chapter 19 When Alexa came in, she first saw Nathan standing in front of Fiona. With a smile on his face, he looked completely different from when he was at the Quinn residence before. Alexa snorted in her heart, thinking. All men are the same! Then she looked away. Her eyes lit up when she saw Sebastian talking with Sean not far away. She walked forward and said, âHello, Sean, Mr. Quinn.â
Sebastian gazed at Alexa with respect and humility, saying, âIâll leave you to speak with your niece.â
Alexaâs eyes filled with tears as she said, âMr. Quinn, why do you leave as soon as I come here? Do you not like me?â
Sebastian replied, âWhy did you come here since you know I donât like it?â Alexa looked at Sebastian in shock and her face was burning with humiliation.
When she saw Sebastian drinking and talking with Sean, her first reaction was that they were on good terms. She had intended to use Sean to approach Sebastian and cut off Fionaâs backe However, Alexa didnât expect that Sebastian didnât care about her at all. She thought, âItâs all because of Fiona! Before she appeared, although Mr. Quinn didnât like me, he would not embarrass me like this for the sake of the friendship between the two families. It must be because Fiona has told Mr. Quinn bad things about me that he treats me so rudely.
At this time, Macy came over. âMom!â Feeling aggrieved and hurt, Alexa threw herself into Macyâs arms and cried.
Macy patted Alexaâs back and comforted her for a long time. Then she said to Sean, âSean, Alexa is your niece. If she marries a rich man, it will be good for the Lopez family and you. As her family, you should support her and take her to meet more people with you.â
Sean glanced at Fiona and said, âOkay.â
Fiona had heard Nathan nag for a long time for the sake of money. âis that all? I donât want to further my study in dance, and I have no interest in entering the entertainment industry. Donât worry about me. You can give me the money as soon as possible. Just break off the engagement and cut off our relationship. How much money do you have now? When will the house be transferred to me?â she said impatiently.
Nathanâs face darkened instantly. âYouâre really an ungrateful country bumpkin. I wonât waste time talking to you!â
Fiona chased after him and shouted, âPay back the money quickly. Otherwise, donât blame me for being ruthless!â Fionaâs voice was loud, making those who had been paying attention to her instantly look over Nathan was so embarrassed that he wanted to escape from this place immediately.
Charlotte was also furious when she saw Nathan. She roared, âHow dare you come back! Go find Alexa and coax her.â
Having followed Sean and met many powerful people in Paellan, Alexa was in a good mood. After a while, she excused herself to go to the restroom to fix her makeup. Seeing this, Nathan ran after Alexa and hugged her from behind.
Alexa was frightened and turned pale. Seeing that it was Nathan, she breathed a sigh of relief and soon struggled with anger. âDidnât you have a good time talking to Fiona just now? You didnât even look at me. Why do you come to me now?â
âLet me explain!â Looking at the passersby, Nathan dragged Alexa to a quiet stairway. Sebastian, after making a call, happened to see them. He glanced at Luther who followed him and said, âIâll give you a chance to make up for your mistakes.â
As they entered the stairwell, Nathan kissed Alexa, instantly igniting an arousing atmosphere. In the corner, Luther tremblingly held his phone to capture the moment on video.
Nathan explained, âIâve had you. How can I fall in love with that country bumpkin? She is young, beautiful, and good at dancing, so I believe those rich men will like her. I only love you and want to marry you. I just want to use her and exchange benefits with her. I do all this for the future of us.â Fiona was gorgeous; no man didnât want her. Nathan thought, âWhen I become the head of the Quinn family, I will definitely not let her go.â
When they returned, Fiona found herself surrounded by several men, all of whom Alexa was familiar with for their playful nature. Among them was Paul Conway, the son of the former wealthiest man in Jerralath. Known for his prowess in the bedroom, Paul had encountered some trouble with women in the past. Were it not for the Conway familyâs wealth, he might have faced consequences for his actions 18:20 Mon, 3 Jun a
