Remorse After Breaking Up

Chapter 604

No one expected Wallace to suddenly attack Sebastian; it all happened too quickly. Heather, who was closest, also made no move to intervene.

A cold gleam flashed in Sebastian's eyes. He didn't care who the other person was. But if anyone thought that they could bully him for no reason, then they were mistaken.

Just as he was about to retaliate, a pebble suddenly shot through the air. There was a sharp thud as the pebble struck Wallace's hand.

Wallace cried out in pain before quickly pulling back and retreating. He was about to let out a curse when he looked up and saw Kaitlyn approaching. Instantly, he swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

"Greetings, Ms. Gardner!" Everyone quickly bowed in respect.

As he looked at Kaitlyn, Wallace asked, "Ms. Gardner, why did you attack me?"

Kaitlyn responded with a question of her own, "What were you just doing?"

Wallace pointed at Sebastian and said, "He's just a lowly commoner! Do I need a reason to kill him?"

Hearing this, Kaitlyn immediately became furious. "He's here to participate in the assessment. Yet you openly attacked him, showing blatant disregard for our Netherworld Sect. Who gave you the courage to do such a thing?"

Intimidated by her fierce demeanor, Wallace instinctively took a step back. Although he was the heir of Holton's most prominent family, he didn't dare to be reckless in front of Kaitlyn.

"You want a reason? Fine, I'll give you one, Ms. Gardner. This lowly commoner saw Heather's body and even touched her. This has greatly tarnished her honor, so I have to kill him!"

Wallace continued, "Of course, I absolutely didn't mean to disrespect the Netherworld Sect. I just acted impulsively. Please forgive me, Ms. Gardner."

Kaitlyn looked at Sebastian and asked, "Is it true?"

Sebastian replied, "Ms. Knott's energy surged out of control earlier, putting her life in grave danger. I only acted to help her. Everyone present witnessed it."

Irvin nodded in agreement. "He's telling the truth; that's exactly what happened."

Kaitlyn turned to Wallace and said, "He was saving someone's life. What right do you have to kill him?"

Wallace was still defiant, and he responded, "He may have saved Heather, but in doing so, he tarnished her reputation. Killing him is the only way to restore it. Of course, after he's dead, I'll compensate his family with some money!"

"That's absolutely absurd!" Kaitlyn exclaimed in anger, then turned to Heather. "Ms. Knott, he saved your life. Don't you have anything to say?"

Heather replied, "Wallace, you've gone too far. He is my savior. How can you think of killing him?"

Sebastian felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this. Although Heather wasn't a particularly virtuous person, she still had some conscience.

But Wallace was infuriated. "Heather, I'm doing this for you! If he isn't killed, imagine the rumors that will spread.

"There are many ways to resolve this, none of which require killing. Since he's seen my body, then just gouge out his eyes! Since he's touched me, then just chop off his hands!" Heather suggested coldly.

"Great idea! I don't know why I didn't think of that," Wallace exclaimed, clapping his hands in approval. However, Sebastian was furious by this. "Ms. Knott, I saved your life! You're the one who begged me to help. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be alive right now!"

Heather sneered. "It's precisely because you saved me that I'm being lenient. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be about losing your hands and eyes!"
