Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 971

Lydia smiled as she said, "That's right. Have you heard of the Skyward Chamber of Commerce? I'm its heiress."

"What? You're the heiress of the Skyward Chamber of Commerce?"

Sebastian was shocked.

He had been in this world long enough to no longer be the clueless outsider he once was. He had heard of the Skyward Chamber of Commerce before. It was the southern region's top chamber of commerce that far outclassed Bejeweled Tower.

To put it bluntly, ten Bejeweled Towers combined wouldn't hold a candle to the Skyward Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing Sebastian so astonished, Lydia felt a sense of pride. She raised her chin slightly in satisfaction.

Sebastian couldn't help but say, "So, you're the heiress of the Skyward Chamber of Commerce. That only makes me more confused. As the future head of such a prestigious guild, your husband should be nothing short of an extraordinary talent or an heir to a powerful family.

"Why Juniper? He may be the young leader of Gaudium Sect, but he has mediocre talent and strength. What was your grandfather thinking, promising you to someone like him? I don't understand."

Lydia was already discontent with the arrangement. Now, she grew even more frustrated at his words.

"It's all because of Galen. He once saved my grandfather's life, so now my grandfather feels indebted to him. That's why he's marrying me off to his grandson," Lydia said angrily, stomping her foot.

"Oh, so it's a debt of gratitude." Sebastian finally understood everything. "But honestly, there are many ways to repay a favor. There's no need to sacrifice your future for it."

"Tell me about it! My grandfather is very stubborn, so what am I supposed to do?" Lydia fumed as her face scrunched up in frustration.

"Ms. Lockhart, have you and Juniper officially gotten engaged?" Sebastian asked curiously.

Lydia grinned. "So, you're my fiancé's enemy, huh? What if I catch you and hand you over to him? Do you think he'd be thrilled?"

Sebastian's face darkened. He hadn't anticipated her to be so difficult, but he wasn't afraid. "Ms. Lockhart, do you really think you can take me on?"

Lydia replied, "You're at least a fourth-tier alchemist, so your cultivation must be decent. If I wanted to deal with you, I have plenty of ways."

"Feel free to try," Sebastian replied as his gaze turned cold. If she dared to make a move, he wouldn't hesitate to teach her a lesson.

Suddenly, Lydia laughed. "Relax. I'm not going to deal with you. The grudges between men are none of my business, so I won't meddle in them. Let's get back to the topic at hand. Are you satisfied with the price I've offered for the pills?"

"We'll talk about the pills later. Right now, I think that poaching you is more fun. Why don't you just become my woman instead?" Sebastian teased with a grin.
