Lillian nodded politely as everyone welcomed her. She kept searching for Sebastian amongst the crowd, but he'd been squeezed to the back so she couldn't see him anywhere. So, Lillian asked Clement, "Where's your new son-in-law, Mr. Lisbon?"

A knowing look appeared on the guests' faces.

"Ms. Smith is here to see Mr. Cadwell. The Cadwells really are respected by the Smith family."

"Of course they are. The Cadwells are a reputable family as well. It's reasonable for Ms. Smith to honor him."

The guests continued discussing amongst themselves. Tyler, on the other hand, was excited. He reached out to shake Lillian's hand. "Hi there, Ms. Smith. My name is Tyler Cadwell."

Lillian often stayed away from public view, so none of her admirers had ever truly gotten close to her.

Tyler was so excited right now because he was about to shake Lillian's hand. Just this fact alone was enough for him to boast about for years!

If Tyler gained Lillian's favor, he'd be admired by all the men in Ravenview, too. He wouldn't need Maria around at that point.

Lillian's brows knitted together when she saw Tyler. But she then saw Sebastian who was ready to leave and cried out, "Don't go!"

The crowd stiffened in shock when Lillian ran over to Sebastian.

How could this be?

Lillian was the Smith family's daughter, a beauty among beauties. On the other hand, Sebastian was nothing more than another poor bum.

They were clearly from different worlds, so how could they have known each other?

Members of the Lisbon family tensed up immediately. They'd thought Lillian must've come here for Maria, if not Tyler. But not only was neither the case, Lillian was here for that bum Sebastian! Tyler was the most embarrassed one among them all as his hand remained outstretched in the air. His astonishment swiftly became anger.

Sebastian was about to leave when he saw Lillian running over. His immediate thought was that Lillian was here to get revenge on him. Sebastian would be in deep trouble if Lillian sued him. He wasn't afraid of that scenario, but it would still be troublesome to handle. "There you are. Come with me!" Lillian grabbed Sebastian's hand before dragging him out of the house.

This was the first time Lillian had voluntarily held another man's hand, yet it came off very naturally.

She wasn't the least bit opposed to it, probably because she'd already slept with him the night before. The other reason was that she was in too much of a hurry.
