Chapter 457
Sebastian was the prospective son-in-law of the family head, making the difference in status clear.
Clara, however, was furious. "You wretched lackey, how have you become so arrogant after just a few days?
"I'll have you know, you're nothing but a filthy toad, while I am a noble lady! You could never aspire to someone like me, so give up now!"
Theo wrapped his arm around Clara's shoulder and said, "Hear that, you filthy toad? Clara is my woman. I
command you to leave Phoenix Island immediately, or I will end your miserable life!"
Sebastian frowned. Theo's words made him uncomfortable, and he felt an urge to slap him.
But he restrained himself since this was their territory.
More importantly, he didn't want to cause trouble for Artemis. She had saved him, brought him here, and taken care of him. He owed her a great deal.
If he caused trouble, it would implicate Artemis, which he didn't want.
Artemis couldn't stand it anymore. "Mr. Theo, you're going too far. This marriage was arranged by my uncle and has nothing to do with Seamus.
"If you have an issue with this, take it up with my uncle. Bullying someone with amnesia is beneath you."
Clara was furious. "Artemis, stay out of this. And why do you keep defending him? Could it be that you like him?" "Stop talking nonsense, Clara. There's nothing like that," Artemis quickly denied, but a blush crept onto her face. Clara sneered. "Your reaction says otherwise. You're an unmarried girl, and you're alone with him in a cave. What could you possibly be doing?
"Something indecent, perhaps?"
"Clara, stop spouting nonsense!" Artemis was enraged.
Sebastian was equally angry, and he said, "Ms. Clara, nothing improper happened between Ms. Artemis and I. You shouldn't make such accusations."All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"You two are really something," Clara mocked. "Artemis, since you like this filthy toad so much, why don't you marry him yourself?"
"Clara, you're going too far. You can't just say whatever you want. Seamus and I are innocent. Besides, whether you like it or not, Seamus is your fiance now, and you will soon be married. Insulting him is also insulting yourself! "Artemis retorted angrily.
"Shut up! It's not your place to lecture me!" Clara shouted furiously, raising her hand to slap Artemis.
Artemis did not resist or dodge but simply closed her eyes, bracing for the slap. However, the anticipated slap
never came.
"How dare you touch me, you filthy toad! Let go of me!" Clara screamed, yanking her hand from Sebastian's grip and wiping her wrist on her clothes in disgust. "How disgusting!"
Theo was enraged, and he quickly shouted, "How dare you touch my woman, you must have a death wish!
"Beat him! Beat him to death! I'll take full responsibility!" Theo ordered coldly.
The men accompanying Theo and Clara, who had long disliked Sebastian, immediately charged at him.
They were lackeys with low cultivation bases, so Sebastian didn't take them seriously.
He kicked one away, slapped another, then backhanded another. Then, he swiftly kicked the remaining two away.
All this happened in a flash. From the moment they attacked to when they were sent flying, it took less than two seconds.
It was so fast that Artemis, who had been about to intervene, stood frozen. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Theo and Clara were equally shocked, not expecting Sebastian to be so formidable.
"You filthy toad, I truly underestimated you. Since you have some skills, I'll entertain you," Theo said, unleashing a powerful aura, revealing his grandmaster-level strength.
