Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 1031

"Sure. That's not a problem. Once we've set a date, I'll send someone to inform you," Deimante said before leaving.

Fiona turned to Lila. "Sweetheart, this contract is crucial for us. When you meet him, just say yes if he seems like a good guy."

Trevor nodded in agreement. "Your mother's right. Ms. Sidorov is willing to do such a huge favor for that guy, and I bet their connection must be special.

"This could open the door for us to establish a lasting collaboration with Bejeweled Tower. If that happens, our family could make a strong comeback and surpass our former glory."

Lila nodded, and her face was filled with sorrow. She possessed an extraordinary spiritual constitution that attracted countless suitors. But now, she faced the prospect of marrying a man she had never even met for the sake of the contract.

…

Sebastian spotted Lila in a restaurant. She was even more breathtaking than he had envisioned. Her figure and features were both exceptional.

It wasn't surprising since those with a spiritual constitution often had remarkable beauty. The men were handsome, and the women were beautiful, just like Travis, Lillian, Lana, Esme, and Rainey.

But for him, physical appearance was merely a distraction. What mattered was whether Lila could help him break through to the Lesser Deity Realm.

While Sebastian was sizing her up, Lila did the same to him. As Deimante had mentioned, he looked fine, but everything else about him was ordinary. He wasn't even wearing an enchanted garment, just plain clothes.

In a world where strength ruled, power and wealth determined status. Anyone with either could rise above the rest. The wealthy and influential had plenty of people to serve them, while those with real power never had to worry about money.

From Lila's perspective, Sebastian looked like just another commoner. His clothes suggested he wasn't wealthy, and it was clear his abilities weren't anything special. The thought left her deeply disappointed.

"Third, the marriage will be annulled once the Berrys get through the crisis. And don't worry. Ms. Berry will give you one million spiritual stones as compensation. This will be enough for you to live lavishly for the rest of your life."

"If that's clear, go ahead and sign it," Lila added.

"This isn't what Ms. Deimante had mentioned." Sebastian frowned.

His goal in marrying her was to have intimacy. If it was a sham marriage, what was the point of going through with it?

Lila replied, "Our backgrounds are worlds apart. If it weren't for the Bejeweled Tower's contract, I wouldn't even have come to meet you. But if you cooperate with me, I won't shortchange you. Once this is done, I'll give you five million spiritual stones."

"It's not about what you can give me. I want you, not the money," Sebastian insisted.
