Upstairs, Jaxon was in the study, feeling somewhat uneasy under Sebastian's intense gaze.
Finally, he snapped, "Alright! I get it! It was Julia who did it, and I just stood by and let it happen. Are you happy now?!"
"As long as you admit it, that's all I need."
Jaxon said with a hint of irritation, "Don't let it happen again! Let's just let this slide. I won't stoop so low as to harm a little girl. Only Julia could be so ruthless.
It was bad enough that she was heartless towards herself and her own child, but to be so ruthless towards others. The biggest regret of my life was letting your father marry Julia!
She was only hurting herself and others!"
"If you really care about me. Stop protecting that little girl in the future; it's enough if you don't harm her. She…she means something different to me now."
Jaxon glared at him, "How is it different? It hasn't been that long!"
Sebastian pointed to his heart, "She has found a place in here... She has become indispensable to me."
Jaxon grumbled, "Don't give me that young people's talk! I just don't like that little girl!"
"But you don't have a choice. When that little girl gets angry, even Emmert hesitated to talk back."
"Emmert?"
"Yep, the one you're thinking of. If you don't want him pointing his finger at you and cursing you out, you better behave."
"Is this girl really Zachary's child? Are you sure?"
"Emmert doesn't have any doubts. Her eyes are too similar to his sister, Joana’s. They're exactly like Zachary's!"
He knew, alright. Because emotions were what Sebastian had been lacking since childhood.
He couldn’t resist any temptation from the outside world!
What was so great about that little girl?!
"I've made it clear. This little girl is not as bad as you think. Once you accept her, stop talking behind her back, and be nice to her, you'll see how kind she is.
And even if her current status is unclear and she's just an ordinary person, maybe not matching up to the Ingram family's status, so what? She saved my life.
Her future worth won't be any less than that of any mistress of the Ingram family. I can earn that for her, without relying on the Skyline Corporation or the Ingram family.
Her future worth won't be too high, just the same as the daughters of the Snider family at their prime."
