Chapter 403 Million Corp Anniversary Celebration Sudden Incident
From the side, Triny watched the man not far away, his face full of tenderness; her eyes carried a bitterness she could not hide.
When Merrick finished speaking, he stepped down from the stage and said to Sebastian, “Come on, have a drink with me p>
The man glanced at the girl beside him. “Take care of yourself p>
The Lindt family was present tonight, and since things had already turned ugly between them, he couldn’t afford to let his guard down.
Lillian smiled. “Go on; I’m not a child. I can take care of myself p>
Once Sebastian left, Lillian wandered into the garden. Neon lights wrapped around the castle, circling it entirely. The fountain at the center shifted colors under the lights, and even more mesmerizing-fireflies danced above the spray, turning the scene into something dreamlike.
“Ms. Harrington, what refined taste you have-finding the time to enjoy the flowers here.” Triny approached slowly, a glass of red wine in hand, her gaze fixed on the distant scenery.
Lillian took a slow sip of wine, her tone lazy. “Why not? Beauty this rare deserves to be appreciated; otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste p>
Triny turned to study Lillian’s relaxed expression and let out a cold laugh. “Don’t you want to know what really happened that night in the room between me and Sebastian p>
Lillian twirled the glass between her fingers, a mocking smile on her lips. “And what exactly do you want to say, Ms. Triny? That you and my fiancé already crossed that line; or that he whispered sweet nothings to you p>
At the ridicule in her expression, Triny’s eyes darkened with malice. “What if I told you Sebastian and I are already together p>

.ow it.
Triny fixed her eyes on the girl before her, a smile tugging at her lips. In a low voice, she said, “Is that so? You’re that certain he’ll be yours p>
Lillian stared at her, puzzled.

turned and walked back inside.
Watching her leave, Lillian felt a sudden unease stir in her chest.
Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, Merrick and Sebastian stepped out of the lounge.
Merrick chuckled. “Go on; you’ve been distracted all night. You must be worried about your little fiancée. We’ll find another time to talk p>
“Of course; next time I’ll make sure to drink with you properly,” Sebastian replied.
Merrick nodded and turned in another direction.
Sebastian scanned the room but didn’t see her. Just then, Triny approached. “Sebastian, are you looking for Ms. Harrington? She’s in the garden p>
His
eyes narrowed slightly at her, but without a word, he headed toward the garden.
As he crossed the hall, a sudden scream rang out behind him. “Sebastian, watch out p>
He barely registered someone hurling toward him before, a muffled thud followed. A woman let out a low groan and collapsed.
The hall erupted in shrieks. Sebastian looked down at Triny, lying on the ground. Blood gushed from her shoulder, staining her arm crimson; she had already lost consciousness.
Morten rushed over, his face stricken with grief. “Triny, Triny, wake up! If anything happens to you, how am I supposed to live p>
