"Faye Townsend, I never thought that one day we could sit together and chat like this." Faye Townsend looked at her but did not speak. "Honestly, Faye, you really ruined me. My whole life has been destroyed by you, do you know that?" Faye Townsend raised an eyebrow: "Sebastian Sheldon, don’t put such a tall hat on my head. In this world, no one can destroy another’s life unless they willingly degenerate." "Are you trying to shirk responsibility?" Sebastian Sheldon’s gaze turned a bit softer, and she smiled, "Don’t worry, whether you admit it or not, I’m not here to blame. Faye, actually, it was right of you to push Lucas Warren to me back then. If it had been you who married him, you, the lofty lady of high prestige, may not have endured these many years." "I wouldn’t have married Lucas Warren, why should I marry him? He has wealth and status, and so do I, I don’t think I need a man to achieve my life." "But the fact is, your life now is achieved through men. I heard that the Townsend family was on the verge of bankruptcy back then, wasn’t it Director Turner from BlueHorizon Group who helped you through the tough times?" Faye Townsend smiled, it was just a trade. But of course, she wouldn’t explain so much to Sebastian Sheldon. "I believe you were waiting deliberately at my doorstep, and it wasn’t just to catch up with old times. I don’t think there’s anything old worth catching up on. So let’s not beat around the bush, we are all smart people, why use the stupidest method to chat?" "Faye, I actually quite admire you, at such a young age you are deeply scheming and can keep your cool." Sebastian Sheldon put down her coffee cup: "Alright, then let’s get straight to the point. I heard your time with Hunter Warren wasn’t happy. This time, I am back to reclaim what I lost, and I want to take back everything that originally belonged to me. Men or status, you’ve taken them for so many years, it’s time to give them back." "Give back? There must be an owner to return to, do you think the man and status I have now originally belonged to whom? You? Do you really think you are worthy? Sebastian Sheldon, ask yourself, why did you leave back then? Don’t put all the blame on me, if you were determined, would you have lost Hunter Warren? Yes, I was the catalyst that made you leave, but don’t forget, I didn’t tie you up and take you to the airport, did I? It was your own willing decision, wasn’t it?" "Ha, still so eloquent, do you know what Hunter Warren used to say about you in front of me?" Faye Townsend shrugged, "What happened back then is in the past, regardless of what he said, I don’t plan on caring about it." "Indeed, what happened in the past is over, but your essence hasn’t changed, you are still as self-righteous as ever." Faye Townsend tilted her head and smiled as she stood up: "Since you keep skirting the real issue, I think there’s no need for me to stay and ’exchange pleasantries’ with you. I have two children to take care of, I’ll take my leave first." After she said this, she prepared to leave, but Sebastian Sheldon, who is also composed, slowly placed down her cup of coffee: "There’s still good news to tell you, just like my love for Hunter, my ex-husband Lucas Warren has also never forgotten about you. After I returned to the country, he will also be back soon. The coming days will surely be exciting, don’t you think... right?" Mentioning Lucas Warren, Faye Townsend, back facing Sebastian Sheldon, closed her eyes and clenched her fists, feeling a sense of repulsion rising from within. Just as she was about to leave, she only heard Sebastian Sheldon continue: "There’s one more thing I forgot to mention, Lucas Warren has a treasure, which no one else dares to touch. Once, taking advantage of his absence, I finally sneaked a peek at it, do you know what I saw?" Faye Townsend’s fists clenched tighter. Sebastian Sheldon turned her head and smiled smugly, looking at the momentarily stunned figure of Faye Townsend. She stood up, walked behind Faye Townsend, her smile growing more unrestrained, "What do you think will happen if Hunter saw that treasure?" Faye Townsend sharply turned her eyes towards Sebastian Sheldon. Sebastian Sheldon laughed loudly, she raised her hand and patted Faye Townsend’s shoulder, "You know, a story with suspense is more appealing. Faye, I admit you are indeed very capable. But these years, I, Sebastian Sheldon, have not been idling abroad either. The humiliation I have suffered, sooner or later, I will return it to you many times over, I cannot let you be happy, otherwise wouldn’t my years of suffering have been in vain? Anyway, I have nothing to lose now, but you... it is different, isn’t it?" Faye Townsend, seeing Sebastian Sheldon’s distorted face at that moment, clenched her teeth and eventually turned into a mocking smile: "Is that the expression of fear you wanted from me just now? Unfortunately, Sebastian Sheldon, these years, I too have been a woman who has struggled and wandered on the brink of pain. The things you said, are no longer enough to threaten me. Bring whatever tricks you have, let’s see if I, Faye Townsend, can withstand them or not. In this lifetime, even if I lose, I can only lose to myself. So you will never be able to defeat me." Having said this, Faye Townsend gave her a scornful look up and down, then proudly walked away. Sebastian Sheldon gritted her teeth, watching her leaving figure turned around and furiously smashed the two coffee cups on the table to the ground. Faye Townsend... well, then we will just wait and see. I refuse to believe that I will keep losing to you. After Faye Townsend got into the car, she tightly held onto the steering wheel, her heart trembling. She had constantly reminded herself to be strong, to dominate the opponent with momentum. But in fact, just now, when she heard the news about Lucas Warren, she was still panic-stricken. She knew that Lucas Warren always had the key to prevent Hunter Warren from approaching her. She just didn’t know when Lucas Warren would use that key. If Lucas Warren really did come back, her path to happiness would truly become increasingly difficult. Life these days had been so blissful that she was somewhat disoriented. If one day, the happiness she now enjoyed suddenly came to an abrupt stop... She couldn’t even bear to think about it. She really couldn’t, for she feared she would go mad. She started the car and left the coffee shop, returning home, then she called Hunter Warren. But Hunter Warren’s phone was turned off. She sighed anxiously, really wanting to see Hunter Warren, right away. But where on earth had he gone? At this moment, Hunter Warren sat in the deserted factory, a disheveled and somewhat dirty woman was brought before him. Hunter Warren, with an arrogant and disdainful demeanor, looked at the woman: "It’s already the third day, do you really have nothing you want to say?" The woman remained silent, not saying a word. Hunter Warren sneered: "Do you think that by delaying, Oliver Turner might find you and rescue you?" At that, the woman raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes filled with pleading: "Second Master Warren, I really don’t know what you are talking about. Faye Townsend is the benefactor who sheltered me and gave me a job, why would I have someone follow her. I have been imprisoned before, but I’m not cold-hearted and ruthless to that extent." "Tsk tsk, if Faye were here she would definitely be touched by your words. But I am not Faye, don’t try to fob me off. If I didn’t have solid evidence in hand, do you think I would act recklessly?" "Evidence? The supermarket safe? How many times do I have to tell you, I just left some items in there that day and even remembered the wrong locker number, that’s all." "Hmm, it seems I’ve been underestimated, fine, I’ll make you die understanding. I heard that Clara’s grandfather had an illegitimate daughter outside, and that illegitimate daughter took her mother’s surname." Luna Fisher’s pupils shrank slightly, her gaze wary as she looked at Hunter Warren. "What...what are you trying to do." "Trying to do? Isn’t my purpose very clear?" Hunter Warren smirked as he looked at her. "I...I just wanted to confirm whether Faye Townsend was with Oliver or not, I never hurt her." "You just haven’t found the opportunity to hurt her yet, because Oliver’s attention right now is all on her," Hunter Warren stood up, hands in his pockets as he looked down at her from above. "Whatever grudges you have, I don’t care, I’m only responsible for Faye’s safety. You should absolutely not have targeted Faye. Faye is too precious, you can’t afford the cost if you hurt her even slightly. Don’t try to use Oliver to create trouble, in my eyes, he is nothing. This time it’s a warning, if there is a next time..." He sneered as he walked up to her, "I can’t guarantee if you can leave unscathed." Seeing Luna Fisher look at him fearfully, Hunter Warren smiled satisfactorily, gave a cold chuckle, and turned around to leave: "Let’s go." At his command, all the thugs left with him. Luna Fisher knelt on the ground, the fear in her heart causing goosebumps to spread on her skin. How could that man have delved into her past? He was undeniably a terrifying lion. Seemingly quiet, but always ready to snap her neck. When Hunter Warren got home, Faye Townsend was waiting for him at his doorstep. As soon as he got out of the car, Faye rushed forward and hugged him tightly. Hunter Warren smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist: "What’s wrong, what happened?" Faye buried her face in his chest. He tried to look at her, but she hugged him tightly and refused to let go. "What exactly happened?" Faye bit her lip, her voice somewhat choked: "Can you promise me one thing?" "Tell me." "If one day you decide to leave me, just tell me straight. Don’t conspire behind my back to hurt me. I can wish you happiness with a smile, but I can’t withstand another heavy blow." Hunter Warren rubbed her head a few times: "I won’t leave you, nor will I hurt you. What’s gotten into you today, you seem out of sorts." Faye shook her head and released her embrace. She pressed her lips together, looking at him with a smile: "It’s nothing." "How can it be nothing? I understand you more than you think, so speak up, don’t make me worry." Faye swallowed, "Sebastian Sheldon came to see me today."
