Chapter 746 Seraphina and Atticus Resolve Their Misunderstanding
"If you really liked Seraphina, you wouldn't be so indifferent!" Sebastian said bluntly.
Dashiell didn't argue.
Seraphina looked at Dashiell, observing his calm demeanor.
She thought that Dashiell came to rescue her purely from a sense of justice, without much personal feeling involved.
His mindset was probably, save her if he could.
If he couldn't, he would have at least tried.
Seraphina's eyes lowered.
She was still afraid of death.
She was still hurt by emotions.
But she wouldn't say anything now.
She always felt that everything was her own fault.
She couldn't blame anyone else.
"Clio," Sebastian's eyes shifted.
Clio, standing nearby, looked at him.
She watched Sebastian standing at the edge of the rooftop, seemingly indifferent to life and death.
Was he really going to be driven to this point because of Seraphina?
She held back her emotions, "Sebastian."
"Call Atticus," Sebastian ordered.
"Can you give up on revenge?" Clio suddenly asked.
Sebastian looked at Clio coldly, his face extremely grim.
"Can you give up on revenge? I don't want you to die," Clio's eyes turned red, and tears started to flow.
"That's my business."
"Why can't you let it go!" Clio was very agitated, "We've come through so much hardship, and now we finally have a good life. Why can't we live well, why can't we let go of that hatred and live a good life together?"
"It's precisely because of those hardships that I want revenge, to get back at those who made my life so miserable! Clio, I don't want to hate you!" Sebastian threatened, "Back then, you hid the truth from me and went to Dashiell. Do you know how wrong you were? If you hadn't told Dashiell everything about me, I might have already taken control of Everhart Bank by now!"
"And then?" Clio asked him, "What will you become after you take control of Everhart Bank?"
Sebastian's eyes tightened.
"You'll be with Seraphina, and I'll be further and further away from you. But Sebastian, when you were a child, you promised me that you would take care of me for life, that you would give me a wealthy life, that you would marry me, that you would give me the greatest happiness," Clio's voice choked with emotion, "But you keep drifting further away, and you love Seraphina more and more..."
"Enough!" Sebastian interrupted Clio, "Are you going to make the call or not?"
Clio tried to calm herself down.
She was really upset.
She didn't want Sebastian to seek revenge.
She just wanted to live a peaceful life with him.
"If you don't make the call, I'll jump off here with Seraphina right now," Sebastian said to Clio, his tone resolute.
Clio looked at Sebastian through her tears.
She knew he meant what he said.
She knew Sebastian was already prepared to die.
But she didn't want him to die.
Clio finally picked up the phone and dialed.
Dashiell's eyes tightened.
In that instant, he wanted to grab Clio's phone.
"Dashiell, try moving, and see what happens!" Sebastian pressed the knife closer to Seraphina's neck.
The sudden pain made Seraphina cry out.
Dashiell's face darkened.
Sebastian said, "The next second, I might really cut her main artery!"
Dashiell clenched his fists, his whole body tense.
Clio had already connected the call to Atticus and put it on speaker.
Sebastian spoke into the phone, "Is everything ready?"
"The shares have been transferred to Seraphina. As her guardian, you have the usage rights!" Atticus said hurriedly.
"Send me a photo to confirm," Sebastian ordered.
"Okay." Atticus hung up the phone.
After a while, he sent over a scanned copy of the transfer agreement.
Sebastian sneered and had Clio call back. He said, "It's done. You can kill yourself now."
"What about Seraphina?" Atticus asked.
"Want to say a final word?" Sebastian sneered, "Fine, I'll let you reunite one last time."
"Seraphina," Atticus called out to Seraphina.
Seraphina's eyes were red, and she teared up as soon as she heard Atticus's voice.
"Atticus, Atticus! How are you?" Atticus on the other end was extremely anxious.
Sebastian's eyes tightened, "If you don't speak, I'll force you to."
Seraphina held back.
Atticus's voice was also choked, "I'm sorry, Seraphina, I dragged you into this."
Seraphina's tears kept falling.
"I really regret not seeing Rainier one last time, making you hate me for so many years. I wasn't doing it for Magnolia back then. It was just that your mother had acted so many times in front of me that I thought she was lying again. If I had known it was to see her one last time, I would never have refused."
She didn't care anymore.
Back then, it was her stubbornness that made her hold a grudge for so long.
In fact, she had known for a long time that Atticus and her biological mother, Mrs. Everhart, didn't get along.
They wouldn't have been happy together.
It was just that Mrs. Everhart always spoke ill of Atticus in front of her and played the victim, which made Seraphina hate Atticus.
Now, she regretted it.
In fact, from childhood to adulthood, Atticus had always spoiled her.
Whether before or after the divorce, Atticus always cherished her.
Her vision was already blurred.
"I'm really sorry," Atticus's voice was also choked with emotion.
From childhood to adulthood.
Seraphina had never seen Atticus cry.
This was the first time.
And it made her feel so miserable.
She couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Dad, I never hated you."
Atticus was stunned, seemingly surprised.
"I never hated you. I always knew about your relationship with my mom. The reason I treated you that way was to get your attention. I was so afraid that Magnolia and Dashiell would take you away from me. I was just afraid that if you had them, you wouldn't love me anymore..." Seraphina cried painfully.
"Seraphina, you will always be the most important person to me. I admit I love Magnolia and I like Dashiell, but in my heart, you will always be first."
"I was immature," Seraphina cried uncontrollably.
"Now, it's my fault. If it weren't for the mistakes I made back then, you wouldn't be suffering this..."
"I don't blame you, Dad. I don't blame you. It doesn't matter if I die, but you must live," Seraphina said emotionally, "Don't let Sebastian threaten you, Dad. Even if you die, I won't survive. Sebastian is a madman..."
Sebastian covered Seraphina's mouth, preventing her from speaking.
Seraphina's eyes were bloodshot, and she struggled.
"If you move again, we'll jump together."
Seraphina would rather jump now than let Atticus be threatened!
