Anson's eyes flickered with shades of darkness, dispelling the possibility of Sean enlisting Diego's help a second time."I understand what you mean, Father!" Lucas acknowledged.He, too, began to believe that Sean must have resorted to underhanded tactics to defeat him.This fueled a strong sense o
The sound of an incoming text message interrupted Sean's thoughts.Sitting up in bed, Sean picked up his phone and saw it was a message from Cecilia. Sean's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly tapped the message open."Sean, everything okay tonight?"Although the message was simple, Sean could tell
"Cecilia, is there something you want to tell me?" Sean asked again, his tone filled with concern."No," Cecilia, who was on the other end of the phone, stammered, her gaze flickering slightly. "I just wanted to remind you to stay safe, that's all." "Okay," Sean nodded firmly, assuring her, "I prom
The hall fell into silence.Augustus glared at Sean with hostility.Clearly, he still held a deep grudge against Sean over the incident in Skye City, vividly remembering how disrespectful Sean had been to him, the eighth elder of the Sutton family. Liam had not anticipated such a turn of events—tha
"Mr. Augustus, I think it's time for someone to take over your place as an elder. You're getting old and confused now."Ignoring Augustus' pale expression, Blake said coldly, exuding the dominance and oppression of a superior. The whole room fell silent instantly.Augustus' aged figure trembled fie
However, Augustus had underestimated Blake's determination and assertive personality."Mr. Augustus, are you threatening me?" Blake's face regained its coldness as she stared at Augustus."No, Ms. Sutton. I wouldn't dare. I'm just—""If you dare not, then why speak at all?" A sense of chill glimmere
"What did you say?" Augustus' eyes flashed with anger."Do you think you have the right to speak here, Sean Lakeworth?" The other elders were also infuriated."Heh, indeed, I have no right to speak here. If it weren't for Blake and her father's invitation, I wouldn't even bother stepping into this p
"Quickly, hold your breaths and hide your presence!" Amelia instructed in a low voice.Everyone suppressed their breaths and hid in the bushes.In the sky, a swoosh echoed, and tracking waves radiated through the air. Upon failing to detect the presence of any vital energy, they quickly left.After
"What? Did you say that Grandma and the others are here?" Selene's heart skipped a beat."Yes! Hide yourself!" Sean said urgently.Suddenly, they heard a swoosh, and before they could move a muscle, the sounds of wind breaking resounded in the forest. The strongest presence amongst them had already
"First time?" Startled, Sean then realized what she was speaking about and chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah, it was. What's the matter?""That explains it." Selene had a confident look on her face, as if she were now sure of something. "What do you mean?" Sean asked, puzzled."That explains why there's su
"Would you like to expose Zephyr's scheme?" Sean asked in a deep voice when he saw the iciness in Selene's eyes."Yes." Selene nodded. The disgust she held for Zephyr was undisguised in her tone."The Ten Great Families are still in the dark; even if both of us combine forces, we're far from being Z
"Selene, I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I couldn't control myself." Upon hearing Selene's low mumbling, Sean felt the numbness in his scalp intensify.Even though he had been forced to take action in this incident, he took the initiative to claim the responsibility. After all, Selene was at
Selene moaned softly, gradually waking up.Sean took in a sharp breath and felt his scalp turning numb. This was bad! He hurriedly got up, wanting to clear up the scene.However, when he looked at the clothes strewn across the floor, he knew that it was too late to dress Selene and cover her body.
Sean's body tensed, his mind resonating with a thunderous roar.Before he could react, Selene's soft lips pressed firmly against his. Her tongue, sweet yet tentative, explored his mouth.In an instant, heat ignited within Sean like a wildfire. Unable to restrain himself any longer, he swiftly pushed
"Selene, what are you doing?"Sean's heart skipped a beat as Selene suddenly embraced him from behind, resting her head against his chest.He sensed that if this continued, it could lead to serious trouble.At that moment, Selene's breath hitched.The sensation of Sean's body pressed against hers, a
Sean's eyes widened in shock. He had never expected Selene to kiss him so passionately!Her lips were remarkably soft, and her tongue moved with nimble grace, despite her lack of experience. Fueled by the ambergris, her kiss was intense and fiery.At that moment, Sean felt as if he were about to mel
