Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 267

They had to be mindful of being appropriate.

"Alex, I'm only here today because you invited me. God knows if Sebastian is going to cut me some slack. I mean, you know better than I do just how merciless that guy is. I am more than happy to make peace with the man, I just don't know if he feels the same!" The man who spoke had a scar across his face and looked t o be in his thirties. Despite his vicious looks, the woman seated next to him was an enchanting beauty.

"Kelvin!" Alex was unforgiving in his tone. "Let me tell you, you don't really have the right to complain about how Sebastian wouldn't cut you some slack. Even me, who practically grew up with the guy, haven't been shown much mercy! He might be cruel, but he would never stab someone in the back. Think about what you did back then. If you hadn't set him up that day, Aunt Grace wouldn't have ended up in jail, not to mention dying from illness afterward. How could Sebastian overlook this and make peace with you?"

"I was forced into it by Sebastian's brothers. The Ford family pretty much ruled over the South City at the time. Had I not complied, they would have shut down every single operation of the White Family in the Southwest coast. What could I do?" Kelvin lowered his voice with resignation.

"So just admit you did wrong back then and apologize!

" Alex snorted. "Kelvin, I'm only helping you with this t o honor my comradeship with your late brother back when we were in the army together. I will not be held responsible as to whether you can make peace with Sebastian."

"I understand. Thank you, brother," Kelvin responded. Coincidently, that was when Sebastian pushed open the doors and stepped in. Everyone in the room stood i n unison at the man's entrance.

"Sebastian!" Alex called out.

Two men that were of similar age as Alex beside him also stood with a smile and said, "Sebastian, here you are."

Sebastian nodded casually, his grip on Sabrina's hand was firm the entire time. Sabrina, too, remained composed and unwavering. It set her apart from all the women in the room, especially with the white dress she was wearing.

"You know my hands were completely tied under the pressure of those brothers of yours. The South-West White Family would have been swallowed in whole by the Ford Family if I refused to follow their order. Had your brother really succeeded in destroying the White Family, I wouldn't have been able to help you out when you fight back against your brother, would I? None of us held back one bit when we joined forces with you back then!" Kelvin argued.

Indeed, Sebastian used to be a loner with no one to depend on in the Ford Family, but he was lucky enough to have come across a few friends when he was on exile, both Alex and Kelvin were among those people he could trust. These friends of his were all from powerful families outside of the South City and Sebastian only managed what he had achieved in the present with their support. 1

Finally, Sebastian chuckled. "You are drinking those thirty shots for me!"

"No problem! Though..." Kelvin's expression relaxed into a smile and he turned to look at the young woman beside Sebastian. "Who is this lady, Sebastian? Shouldn't it be Selene by your side?"

Realizing he was referring to her, Sabrina immediately reacted by saying, "I am just an escort that Mr. Ford brought along."
