That wretched woman-her archery was clearly so outstanding, yet she had pretended to be clumsy, making everyone laugh at her and throwing Everly into disgrace. It was intolerable.
Lillian, feeling the hostile stares from the crowd, turned her mocking gaze toward Everly. “It seems my winnings are still missing something, aren’t they p>
Allen, noticing the malice in Everly’s eyes, quickly stepped in. “Yes. Ms. Lillian, what is your request? Whatever it is, we’ll make it happen p>
Lillian gave a cold glance at Everly’s twisted expression, then pointed toward the boy still bound to the wheel. “Him. I’ll take him p>
Her words left everyone stunned. To them, these people were no better than slaves-without rights, free to be bought, sold, or gifted away. Who would have thought this girl would demand one in public?
Everly’s face lit with malicious delight. “You shameless bitch! To dare such indecency right in front of Sebastian p>
The surrounding crowd shifted uncomfortably, their looks toward Lillian now tinged with contempt.
Lillian ignored Everly entirely and turned her calm gaze to Allen, waiting.
Allen nodded. To them, people like this boy were of little importance. At his signal, a servant untied the ropes. The boy walked over to Lillian, lowered his head, and said respectfully, “Master p>
Though ragged and filthy, the boy’s eyes shone with a sharp, unyielding strength. From the way he had endured the earlier arrow without so much as a flinch, Lillian knew his resilience was extraordinary. That was why she had chosen to save him.
The boy froze when he saw her eyes studying him. A flicker of surprise passed across his face before he nodded solemnly. “Yes p>
Sebastian, noticing the way Lillian had been staring at the boy, turned her firmly toward him, his voice possessive. “You’re not allowed to look at other men p>
Lillian nearly burst out laughing-it was the first time she had seen such childish jealousy from him. Still, she nodded obediently. “Alright, I won’t. I’ll only look at you p>
Her answer softened him instantly. He stroked her hair with a tender smile.
Everly, on the other hand, seethed at the sight. Sebastian wasn’t angry at all-he was gazing at

that woman with such warmth! She stormed up to him, eyes reddened with false tears. “Sebastian, this woman dares to flirt with another man right in front of you. She doesn’t care about you at all. How can you remain so indifferent? She doesn’t love you p>
Off to the side, Lillian shivered at the sound of Sebastian’s name spoken so sweetly, goosebumps running down her arms. She shot the culprit a playful glare, making him chuckle helplessly. His little fox was jealous again.
Everly’s bitterness grew unbearable. “Sebastian, she doesn’t care about you. She demanded this boy without any thought for your feelings. What she’s done is nothing but a disgrace to the Austine family. A woman like her is unworthy of becoming its mistress p>
Sebastian’s gaze turned icy as he fixed it on her. His voice was cold and cutting. “I have no sister, so do not address me so familiarly. Call me Mr. Whitmore. As for my fiancée-whether she loves me or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that I love her. That’s all. You needn’t concern yourself further p>
He knew Lillian had her reasons for claiming the boy, and he trusted her completely.
In just a few short sentences, Everly felt her blood freeze. His eyes-so cold, so merciless- pierced her to the bone. Tears welled in her eyes, threatening to spill.
She opened her mouth to protest, but Cary’s voice cut her off sharply. “Everly, enough p>
The old man’s scolding voice struck her like a whip. She turned to him instinctively, only to find his gaze razor-sharp and unforgiving. A chill ran down her spine, and every word she’d intended to say died in her throat.
