Chapter 558 Victoria simply couldn't believe that Nadine would give up on her wealthy husband.
Unbeknownst to Victoria, Sebastian had been standing beside Nadine the whole time. Victoria's voice was so loud that he heard everything clearly.
Seeing the frown on Nadine's face, Sebastian felt a deep sympathy for her. He reached out toward Nadine, gesturing for the phone in her hand, then pointing to himself. The meaning was clear-he wanted to take the call and deal with Victoria for Nadine.

But Sebastian had a calm and composed demeanor as he regarded her wordlessly. Plus, with the confidence he exuded, Nadine had a hunch that he was someone she could trust.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally handed the phone over to him. She was also curious to see how Sebastian would handle someone as persistent as Victoria.
After taking Nadine's phone, Sebastian didn't hold it to his ear. Instead, he turned it to speaker mode.
Speaking to Victoria on the other end, he questioned, "What do you want to talk toabout? Why would I would even bother with you?" Victoria hadn't expected to hear such a pleasant male voice coming from Nadine's phone. Recalling what she had just said, Victoria instinctively assumed that this person was Nadine's husband.
"Are you Nadine's husband? Don't you care about your wife's affairs? I'm talking about her unforgettable first love, of course. I'm sure you mind," Victoria said.
Sebastian replied, "I don't care about Nadine's past. I only care about her present and future. If you keep using her past to threaten her, you will end up getting kicked out of Janctera City. You know I have the power to do that.
"I can choose to let you live peacefully, or I can choose to make your life difficult. You know exactly what I mean." Noticing the slight worry in Nadine's eyes, Sebastian moved to comfort her. He gently patted the top of her head, his eyes brimming with tenderness.
Pretending to be Nadine's husband-just the thought of it excited him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVictoria hadn't expected Nadine's husband to be right beside her. After hearing the threat in his tone, she grew a little scared. Without another word, she hung up the phone immediately.
She muttered to herself, "Are there really men who don't mind their woman's past? I don't believe it. Nadine, don't think for a second that I'm afraid of you. I'll make sure you pay the price. Just you wait."
After hanging up, Sebastian smiled and handed the phone back to Nadine. Seeing that she still didn't look too well, he comforted her by saying, "Don't worry. She can't cause much trouble. If you're really concerned, I can have my people give her a warning. They scare her a bit and make sure she doesn't bother you again."
Nadine took her phone back, tucked it in her bag, and shook her head. "It's fine. She's just a young lady. I can handle her." She then added, "By the way, didn't you want to go to the museum? Let's go now."
What Nadine didn't know was that Brad was sitting in his car not fam away. He witnessed everything that had just happened, particularly the head-pat from Sebastian. Not only did Sebastian smile warmly at Nadine, but there was also an affection in his eyes that he could barely contain.
Watching the two of them get into a cab, Brad called Alex. "Cout. Let's grab a drink."
