Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 857

Cary walked slowly over to the sofa in the lounge area and sat down, his smile never wavering. "To be held in high regard by Mr. Whitmore is truly an honor. People tend to remember those who gave them a painful lesson. The payback may be a bit late, but the results are excellent, wouldn't you agree?"

Sebastian stood up and moved to the sofa opposite Cary. He sat down, crossing his long legs with a lazy, effortless grace. "I truly admire your tenacity, Cary. To bring the Earl’s estate back from the brink of death in less than two years is quite the surprise."

"I have you to thank for that, Mr. Whitmore," Cary replied, his smile turning icy. "If you hadn't taught me such a bitter lesson back then, I wouldn't have had the fuel of revenge to help me crawl back up. I certainly wouldn't have been able to rally so many of your enemies to move against you at once. Are you satisfied with this little gift? Perhaps you'd like to guess where our next strike will land?"

Sebastian’s gaze sharpened. "What is your goal? You should know that if I had the power to crush you once, I have the power to ensure you never get back up again."

"Is that so?" Cary laughed. "You certainly are confident. You must realize that the strength of five families is now concentrated against you. Do you really believe you have the means to uproot us all at once? I believe there is an idiom from Dracovia for this—ambushed from all sides. Am I correct?"

Sebastian’s deep eyes flashed with a freezing light. "You’ve certainly gone through a lot of trouble to deal with me, Cary. In that case, we’ll just have to wait and see who falls first—me, or all of you."

Cary’s smile vanished. "Mr. Whitmore, you're being overly dramatic. There is, in fact, a solution to all of this. It simply depends on whether you are willing to cooperate. If you are, I can not only help you eliminate your hidden rivals but also ensure your losses are repaid twofold. How does that sound?"
