Chapter 413
Chapter 413 Triny’s Provocation, Part Three
Lillian’s eyes suddenly turned vicious. She gripped the woman’s chin hard and spat out, “That’s because when I saw Sebastian lying there, covered in blood and motionless, I wanted nothing more than to tear you apart.
“I’ve done everything I could to restrain myself, to keep from thinking about it; but you keep provoking me, forcing me to relive that night. There’s a saying that’s true enough-if you don’t bring death upon yourself, you won’t die p>
Triny stared at her in shock, stunned by the venom in Lillian’s face; for a moment she forgot to resist. Then tears welled up and she sobbed pitifully. “Ms. Harrington, how can you treat me this way? I already promised I’d stay away from Sebastian; why won’t you let me go p>
Lillian faltered for just an instant in confusion-then the hospital room door burst open. Sebastian strode in, his expression cold, with Morten and Leon right behind him.
Seeing Lillian’s hand on his daughter’s chin, Leon shouted furiously, “Lillian, what are you trying to do to my daughter? Can’t you see she’s suffered enough already p>
Leon rushed forward, shoving Lillian’s hand away, forcing her back two steps.
Sebastian caught the girl immediately, steadying her with obvious concern.
“Are you
all right p>
Lillian glanced at him, shook her head, and said quietly, “I’m fine p>
Triny collapsed into Leon’s arms, weeping bitterly. “Daddy, I already promised her I wouldn’t bother Sebastian anymore. But why does she have to push me like this p>
Leon’s heart ached as he looked at his daughter. “It’s all right; you’ve got your father p>
Beside him, Morten’s gaze was sharp as he fixed it on Lillian. “Ms. Harrington, don’t you owe us an explanation? Hasn’t Triny’s retreat been enough for you? For your fiancé, she’s already lost the chance to ever stand on stage again; her entire career is ruined. And still you press her like this p>
So that’s what this is about. If she couldn’t see through it now, it would be an insult to her intelligence. Triny’s true purpose today had finally revealed itself.
“Grandfather, I’m fine, As long as it’s for Sebastian, I’m willing to sacrifice anything-even myself. My career means nothing compared to him; dance might be my greatest love, but it’s nothing next to Sebastian p>
Triny’s voice choked with emotion. After speaking, she still made sure to glance at Sebastian. “Sebastian, please don’t blame Ms. Harrington. She’s probably just terrified of losing you— that’s why she acted that way p>

Morten’s eyes glistened. “How foolish you are p>
Leon’s face was full of pain as he turned to Lillian. “Ms. Harrington, don’t you have anything to say p>
Lillian’s lips curved in a mocking smile. “Are you sure you want me to say something p>
“Shouldn’t you? If we hadn’t come in time, who knows what kind of harm you would have done to Triny p>
Lillian let out a cold laugh. “In that case, I’ll gladly oblige p>
Everyone waited for her explanation.
Instead, Lillian walked straight up to Triny, her voice soft. “Ms. Triny, I’m sorry; today we won’t be following your script.” With that, she struck the woman across the face twice.
Triny’s pale cheeks flamed red and swollen in an instant.
Lillian studied her for a beat, then smirked. “Not bad-nice and symmetrical p>
It was only then that the others snapped out of their daze. Morten’s voice thundered, harsh and unforgiving, “Lillian, this is intolerable! If you don’t explain yourself today, you won’t be leaving this hospital p>
