NovelEnglishChapter 155 Despite her annoyance, Lillian knew better than to offend the Cadwell family from Divinopolis.
Sebastian smiled slightly and asked, "If you haven't changed your mind, why are you stoppingfrom signing the papers?" "Are you going to ask for ssort of compensation before you sign? What are you after-a hefty payout? Maybe a luxury car?" Jenny's reminder was intended to corner Sebastian into making unreasonable demands as a show of his reluctance to break off their engagement. After all, she was wealthy enough to meet any of his outrageous demands, even if it was one or two billion dollars, without a second thought.

Evelyn could no longer hide her disdain as she glared at Sebastian and said mockingly, "Stop trying to save your pride. You're penniless! Why are you acting so noble?" Then, she turned to Jenny with a fawning smile. "Ms. Cadwell, please don't mind his nonsense. He's just trying to preserve his dignity. Given your family's wealth, perhaps you could take pity on him and offer him smoney?" In Evelyn's eyes, Lillian had already tarnished her reputation by being associated with the demise of the Walter family shortly after marrying into their household.
Given Sebastian's volatile temper, it was also unlikely for him to separate from Lillian. Hence, she planned on reaping sbenefits for Sebastian, which would eventually end up in her pocket. With a look of contempt, Jenny responded, "Dignity is something you earn through your capabilities, without which it can be trampled upon at will." Evelyn nodded vigorously, eager to please. "Exactly, Ms. Cadwell. He's nothing but a penniless fool. You are the distinguished heiress of the Cadwell family. He's unworthy of you. It's best to end the engagement." Upon witnessing Evelyn's shameless behavior, Lillian felt a surge of disgust but stayed quiet. After all, she also hoped that Jenny would break off the engagement with Sebastian. Feeling satisfied with Evelyn's flattery, Jenny happily handed Sebastian a credit card. "Here's a billion dollars. Consider it your compensation for our engagement. It should keep you comfortable for life." "I don't need it." Sebastian then signed the annulment papers without a second glance at the credit card.
For a man whoseworth stretched into the trillions of dollars and whose organization churned billions of dollars daily, such a sum was trivial.
"Don't listen to him, Ms. Cadwell. I'll accept the card on his behalf." Evelyn immediately snatched the card from Jenny; she was bent on taking the billion dollars.
"Hand it over," Sebastian commanded before taking the card and snapping it in half effortlessly.
Evelyn cried out in dismay. "You fool! That was a billion dollars!" Jenny's expression darkened as she warned, "Don't challenge my limits, Sebastian. Are you planning to complain to my mom?" "You're overthinking it. I've signed the papers; we will go our separate ways from now on," Sebastian replied calmly.

Evelyn chimed in disdainfully, "Exactly. A lowly human like you doesn't deserve someone as wonderful as Ms. Cadwell. You should know your place." Lyra added, "That's right. You aren't even worthy to carry Ms. Cadwell's shoes."
Sebastian simply smiled and said, "Jenny, don't overestimate yourm allure. Not every man is desperate for your affection."
Jenny sneered. "Perhaps not every man, but you would certainly stand to gain by marryingYour days of struggle would be over. How could you pass up such a great opportunity?
