Chapter 417
Chapter 417 Sebastian’s Reprisal
Foster chimed in, “Exactly. If you ask me, that shooter was probably one of Triny’s schemes; otherwise, how else would she just happen to be standing right behind you, ready to save you at the perfect moment p>
Sebastian’s eyes
darkened.
“Yes, what a coincidence. Whatever her motives were, it’s over now; she took a bullet for me, and I’ve already repaid the debt-we owe each other nothing. As for what the Lindt family still owes me… that’s another matter p>
The shooter might have been dead and unable to testify, but it was obvious Triny had known about his presence in advance. That fact alone meant she couldn’t possibly be innocent.
Evan’s gaze sharpened. “It seems the Lindt family can’t hold back any longer p>
Sebastian’s deep eyes glittered with ice. “That’s exactly what I want-if he can’t restrain himself, I can pull him out by the roots p>
After a few days of recovery, Sebastian’s injuries had mostly stabilized; Lillian decided it was time to return to school.
“Can’t you take a few more days off? My arm still isn’t fully healed,” Sebastian said with a touch of resentment.
Lillian gave a mocking laugh. “You wanted to play the hero; that gunfight of yours was so dazzling. But the moment it ended, you turned into a helpless wreck, expecting everyone’s sympathy. Enough-just focus on recovering. With Louis and Foster around, you’ll be looked after. I’ve already taken over a week off; I need to get back to school p>
Seeing the determination in her eyes, Sebastian could only lower his voice. “Alright then… I’ll come pick you up on Friday p>
Lillian refused outright. “No. I can come back on my own. You need to rest if you want to heal faster.” Without giving him another chance to argue, she turned, got in the car, and left.
Sebastian watched her retreating figure and let out a helpless smile.
“Sir, Mr. Merrick would like a private meeting with you. When would you be available?” Foster asked from the side.
Sebastian’s smile faded, his tone flat. “Tomorrow. Also, give the information you uncovered to Morten, and tell him I don’t want to see Triny in Kingston again p>
Thinking of that file, Foster’s eyes turned icy; he quickly answered, “Yes p>

Meanwhile, at the Lindt residence-
Ever since Triny returned from the hospital, she had been a shell of herself. She hadn’t taken a single step outside her room. Morten and Leon had tried countless times to persuade her, but it was useless.
In her room, Triny sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring blankly at the view outside. This time, I really lost-and in the most devastating way. And so humiliating, too… as if I’d been stripped bare, left with no shred of dignity. If only I could go back three years, before I ever met him.
Just then, the door opened softly.
A maid came in with a tray of food. “Miss, it’s time to eat p>
Triny spoke in a low voice. “Just leave it. I saw a car pull in… are we having a guest p>
“Yes, miss. Mr. Whitmore came to see Mr. Morten. We don’t know the details,” the maid replied respectfully.
“Mr. Whitmore!” Triny’s eyes lit up instantly; joy surged through her as she sprang to her feet. She was about to rush out the door but suddenly thought better of it. She hurried into the dressing room, changed into a glamorous outfit, and applied a touch of makeup.
Once she was satisfied, she ran downstairs.
But when she reached the living room, she found only Foster and Morten sitting there. The man she longed to see was nowhere in sight.
“Where’s Sebastian? Why didn’t he come?” Triny asked directly.
Foster’s tone was cold. “I’m sorry; Mr. Whitmore won’t be seeing you. I came today only to hand some documents to Mr. Morten-and to deliver a message from him p>
He turned to Morten. “He said he doesn’t want to see Ms. Triny in Kingston again.” With that, he rose and took his leave.
Triny’s face went pale as paper.
