He arrived at the company just as work
starting, employees coming and going, all casting sympathetic glances towards a certain spot in the office.
Isabelle was disheveled; she hadn’t slept all night, having been forcefully pressed onto her knees on the ground by bodyguards for a long time, and was on the verge
of collapsing, but what she couldn’t stand the most were the eyes of people coming and going.
She had been so glorious before, but now she was so humiliated in public, Isabelle wished she could kill Aurora.
She screamed hysterically.
“Aurora, it’s all your
fault, you
bitch! It’s all because of you! Otherwise, Bastian wouldn’t treat me like this!”
“Why don’t you just die! It’d be better if you died. How dare you seduce Bastian; you’re just a slut!”
She screamed non–stop, everyone heard her curses, but times were different now; having lost power, her behavior drew the scorn of others.
Some colleagues who were close to Aurora refuted Isabelle one after another.
“How could you say that about Ms. Lancaster? She’d been diligently serving for four years, never once doing anything wrong. You’ve been bullying her ever since you arrived.”
That’s right! Aurora didn’t do anything wrong. Miss Monroe, you’re going too far. Now that Aurora’s gone, you still won’t leave her alone.”
“You’re clearly the one who’s been provoking Ms. Lancaster all along, and now you’re talking about others. I think you’re the real bitch, aren’t you?”
Whispers surrounded her, people pointing fingers at her, as if she were a madwoman. Isabelle was practically seething with rage. She wanted to get up and slap each person, but because she was pinned down by bodyguards, she could only remain on her knees, screaming.
“You’re all bitches! What did Aurora ever do for you to take her side like this? You’re all siding with her! Did she sell herself to you?!”
She was throwing a fit, spewing out whatever came to mind, making everyone else frown.
At this moment, Sebastian, who had rushed over, happened to hear all of this, and his expression grew even colder.
He had originally intended for Isabelle to kneel there and realize her mistakes, but he hadn’t expected her to persist in her ways, blaming everything on
Aurora.
He walked over quickly. The company employees, seeing Sebastian arrive, instinctively cleared a path, and even the bodyguards released their grip. Isabelle, now free, paid no mind and crawled directly to Sebastian’s feet, holding onto the man’s thigh and crying with a resentful expression.
“Bastian, help me! Look at these people, they’re all Aurora’s lackeys! I’m being bullied, Bastian, hurry up and fire all of them, fire them!”
As she spoke, she turned her head and fiercely pointed her finger at the person who had just retorted to her.
“Her! Her! And him! They’re all bitches!”
Isabelle was furious, and the employees who were pointed at also lowered their heads, not daring to speak. But Sebastian didn’t help her vent her anger as Isabelle expected; instead, he kicked her away.
“I told you to reflect, and this is what you do? Isabelle, you’re nothing now, yet you dare to slander others. I never realized your heart was so vicious.”
“I heard everything they just said. They weren’t wrong, and Aurora didn’t do anything wrong. It was all you, you were the one who forced her away.”
Isabelle fell to the ground, tears in her eyes.
Tm the one you love! Bastian, you love me!”
Sebastian looked down at her coldly from above.
The one I love is Aurora.”
He said something that no one expected. Some were surprised, some were shocked, but Sebastian felt good. He had delayed this sentence for four years, and finally, he said it.
He curved his lips, ignoring Isabelle’s collapsing expression, and repeated it again.
“I love Aurora.”
“As for you, my feelings for you are long gone. This period of time was a mistake. I will find Aurora and be with her. Isabelle, you may leave.”
The woman’s pupils dilated, filled with disbelief. When she truly got this answer, she cried and laughed at the same time.
“You’re letting me go? Sebastian, let me tell you, Aurora wasn’t forced away by me at all, it was you!”
“Do you think I don’t know what you two did?! You slept with her for four years, never giving her a proper status. The moment I came back, you eagerly

latched onto me. The one who truly forced her away was you!”
His relationship with Aurora had never been exposed in the company. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Sebastian’s just–softened expression also turned grim.
