"Sebastian, you''re just as despicable as your father. Both of you disgust me," Sydney said coldly.


    She was deliberately provoking Sebastian, wanting him to reveal his true nature.


    Sebastian narrowed his eyes, and clenched his fists.


    "I''m terribly sorry, but I''ve even forgotten my father. I don''t remember what kind of person he was. However, if you insist on saying I''m as despicable as him, there''s nothing I can do about it.


    "It''s a shame, really. After all, this is our first meeting, and you''ve already made such a judgment about me. It makes me wonder if you''re impulsive, or if you have some grudge against my father, and you''re just projecting that onto me. That''s why you''re finding fault with me in every way."


    Sebastian gave a polite smile and continued, "Would you like to share what happened? Were you an old friend of my him? Did something happen between you two? I see hatred in your eyes."


    Sydney had to admit that Sebastian wasn''t that simple. She even began to suspect whether he truly had amnesia. If he didn''t and was merely pretending, then his actions were truly terrifying.


    If he really had amnesia, but still behaved so cleverly and shrewdly, then it was even more frightening.


    "You despicable brat! You''re really something. No wonder my son is no match for you."


    Sebastian shook his head helplessly. "It''s a pity. I''m actually not that great, but I didn''t expect your son to be so weak. He runs to you toin after losing a fight. Someone who didn''t know better would think he was a grade schooler who went home to have his parents stand up for him after losing a brawl."


    "I''m not here to stand up for Theo," Sydney said ''m here because of Rose. My main purpose ining was to meet you, as I''ve heard a fot about you. As for Theo losing or suffering any grievances, I admit that he had iting. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    "But don''t be too quick to feel proud of yourself. There are plenty of people in this world who seem to hold a great advantage early on, to lose everything in the end, especially despicable people. They might resort to underhanded tactics, but once ites to a fair fight, they end up losing everything, down to theirst scrap of dignity."


    Sebastian replied calmly, "Sydney, thank you for considering me a despicable person. I rather like this adjective, and I''ll take your advice becaused think you''re right. But I'' also like to remind you that, in this world, it''s often the despicable who survive until the end. Those who fight fair die the quickest. Don''t believe me? Ask Rose. Does she still want to see your son? Even if I framed him, isn''t she still on my side?"


    Sydney was so infuriated by Sebastian''s smug expression that she wanted to throw her wine at him, but she held back. She hadn''te here to make things worse. Sebastian was too difficult to deal with.


    At this moment, Rosalie returned. She sensed that the atmosphere in the dining room was a bit stifling. After taking her seat, she nced at the two of them. "What were you two talking about?"


    As soon as she entered, the two of them stopped speaking.


    Sebastian smiled gently. "Nothing much. Sydney was just telling me to treat you well, or else she won''t let me off the hook."


    Sebastian didn''t tattle, only expressing Sydney''s concern for Rosalie. As he spoke, he took Rosalie''s hand, his eyes filled with love.


    Rosalie smiled and said, "Mom, don''t worry. He treats me very well."


    Sydney nodded. "That''s good."
