Sebastian was not easily swayed by Lyra's advances. Instead, he roughly shoved her aside and then slapped her hard across the face.

Lyra, nearly stunned by the blow, held her reddening cheek and asked pitifully, "Celestial Master Thorne, what did I do wrong? Why did you hit me?"

"Because I felt like it. Got a problem with that?" Sebastian sneered.

Lyra quickly shook her head, her face pale with fear.

Ignoring her, Sebastian turned to Lillian and commanded, "You! Come with me!"

Lillian had no strength to resist. She feared that if she angered Magnus, he would kill her parents and grandfather. Thus, she could only obediently follow him as she didn't dare to oppose him.

The driver was from Misty Oak Villa. Once Sebastian and Lillian were in the car, they sped off quickly.
