Chapter 44 Are You Aware of Sebastian's Past?
In other words, the plan is to make the murderer who took Isabella suffer greatly, stripped of everything, and thrown into jail, enduring humiliation and torment, unable to seek life or death.
"The Lawarence Group is currently in the limelight, closely watched by their competitors. Mr. Lawrence, at a time like this, I recommend that you act discreetly and avoid trouble, so as not to leave any handle behind."
Sebastian narrowed his eyes, "You expect me to let it go just like that?"
"Hand the murderer over to the police directly and let the lawyers handle it, Mr. Lawrence."
"He harmed Isabella."
"Madam is unharmed, not injured... it can be considered—"
Sebastian slammed his palm heavily on the table, "Shut up!"
The butler remained silent for a few seconds but continued, "Mr. Lawrence, you are a man who seeks to achieve grand ambitions. Don't let sentimental attachments disrupt your pace. This trivial matter really isn't worth fussing over."
"Is her safety a trivial matter?"
"Women's matters are for women to resolve."
Sebastian's tone changed, "Do you already know who is behind this?"
The butler lowered his head and replied, "While monitoring the footage... I saw Madam talking to Miss Turner."
"Grace."
"Yes, Mr. Lawrence. Miss Turner has pursued you for many years only to become a laughingstock, ridiculed by you and Madam the last time. It's understandable she would hold a grudge. Miss Turner herself is insignificant, but the Turner family... they have connections."
Sebastian turned his back, with his hands placed behind him.
"It is not wise to provoke the Turner family." The butler said, "Mr. Lawrence, you should understand better than anyone who is of greater importance."
After a while, Sebastian casually said, "Leave."
"One more thing," the butler said, "After the announcement of you and Madam's engagement, we received news from overseas..."
"What did they say?"
"That individual had become emotionally unstable, smashing many things and locking herself in the room, refusing to eat or drink."
Sebastian frowned, "Can't something be done? Her health is so fragile, how can she not eat?"
"I will convey your words to her, Mr. Lawrence."
Sebastian waved his hand dismissively.
He stood in the study room for a long, long time, smoked several cigarettes, and thought about Isabella planning to conceive and how she didn't like the smell of smoke. So he stood by the window, letting the wind blow the smoke away for half an hour.
When he returned to the master bedroom, Isabella had already fallen asleep.
Her petite body lay sideways, curled up in a corner of the large bed, her hair covering most of her face. She breathed softly, sound asleep.
Today... she was truly frightened.
Sebastian gently sat down beside her and reached out, brushing away the hair, revealing her peaceful sleeping face.
"I originally thought that marrying you would be worry-free and hassle-free, but it turns out that you are beyond my expectations."
Last night, he took her twice without any safety precautions.
She knew it too, but didn't say anything. There was a hint of sadness in her clear eyes at that moment.
"Get pregnant with my child, Isabella," Sebastian's voice was very low, very low. "Once you have a child, I will let you go, you can be free."
Midnight arrived.
Sebastian had always been a light sleeper. Whenever there was the slightest movement beside him, he would immediately wake up.
He felt the woman beside him trembling continuously and quickly opened his eyes.
Isabella curled up, her hands were tightly clenched in front of her, and she was trembling all over, with furrowed brows, and pale lips.
"There are snakes, spiders... and even ghosts, graves..."
She murmured, "Don't come near me, don't approach me, don't... go away!"
