Chapter 163 Too Extravagant
Madeline knew that Sebastian’s mention of her cousin was not referring to Dan, but her eldest cousin Sam.
However, she felt that Sam did not have a choice.
She murmured, “Well, Isabel is Sam’s biological sister…”
Sebastian glanced at her and said lightly, “Who cares about the hardships you’ve endured? Just because she’s Sam and Dan’s half-sister, the abuse you had endured was never addressed, and all the hardships you suffered were for nothing.”
Even though Crystal and Michael kept saying that they loved Madeline so much and felt guilty about Madeline’s hardships, they never actually sought justice for the woman.
That was why Sebastian didn’t enter Wendel Residence when he went there to pick up Madeline today. In his eyes, Michael and Crystal were not worthy of being Madeline’s parents.Têxt belongs to .
If Quincy and Joel suffered what Madeline had suffered and were treated so harshly like how Madeline had been treated, he would definitely make the culprits pay a thousand times over and make them regret having been born into this world!
When he thought about his beautiful, cute, smart, and sensible boys, his heart softened.
Thankfully, because Quincy and Joel were brought into this world by Madeline to save Sam, he was very protective of the two children.
Although Phoebe and her daughter had no good feelings toward the two children, they did not dare to touch them.
Otherwise……
Sebastian’s eyes turned cold, and a chilling rage emanated from his body.
“You…” Madeline had never seen Sebastian like this before, so she looked at him in shock. Then, she subconsciously moved her body to the side so that she was a little further away from him.
“I’m fine.”
Sebastian glanced at her and continued, “Don’t be dumb. Just because someone says a few nice things to you, you’ll give them everything you have? Before they really take your pain to heart and help you get revenge, they are not qualified to be your real parents.”
For the sake of blood ties, he thought that it was fine for her to acknowledge them as her parents, but there was no need for her to feel grateful toward them.
After all, they didn’t deserve it!
Madeline could understand what he meant, and she also knew that he was saying this for her good. She looked at him with a complicated look while her heart was a mess.
The two did not speak for a long time after that.
After a long time, Madeline suddenly returned to her senses and looked at the road ahead. “Where are we going?”
“We’re almost there,” Sebastian said.
Madeline could see that he was still in a bad mood, so she looked at the photos in her hands that Sebastian had thrown at her just now. Those were the photos that Grayson’s assistant had taken of the scars on her back just now.
Since her acquaintance with Sebastian until now, it was the first time she saw him in such a bad mood; it felt novel to her.
After all, the image of Sebastian Hart of the Hart Family was incomparably superior and exceptional in her mind. He was domineering and always composed without a change in expression no matter what he did.
Yet, she actually saw him in a bad mood.
She secretly guessed that he was in a bad mood because of the photos in her hands.
At this, her heart suddenly became very soft and warm.
This man is really good to me.
Whether it was because of his sons or other reasons, he was very attentive to her. He had helped her investigate a lot of things and returned justice to her. He also took her to Grayson’s hospital in person because of the scars on her back, which was something she didn’t care to do for a long time, and he even asked his brother to help her remove the scars.
Previously, no one had ever treated her with such care like this.
“Sebastian… Thank you…” She couldn’t help but say softly.
Sebastian turned to look at her for a moment and shook his head. “You’re so dumb. No wonder you’ve been bullied all the time.”
Madeline was speechless. Just as she was about to say something, Sebastian said, “We’re here.”
The car stopped and the door was opened from the outside. As Madeline got off the car, she looked around and found that it was an unfamiliar place.
Hence, she asked in confusion, “Where is this?”
“Your office.” Sebastian led the way. Madeline followed behind him and walked into the courtyard beside the road, feeling shocked.
She stopped and asked, “Are you joking?”
How could this be my office? This is clearly a manor.
She couldn’t see the whole estate from the courtyard, so she couldn’t see how much it stretched on at the back, but she was certain that the area was very big.
In front were several shops by the road, and they had a total of six floors.
Behind the shops was a particularly spacious courtyard with small bridges over gurgling water. There was rockery and a small pavilion, and the entire place was filled with enchanting flowers and lush vegetation.
There were three buildings behind the courtyard; the main building in the middle was also six floors high, and they were built in an elegant and magnificent style.
Then, there was a side building each on the left and right sides of the main building that stood three floors high. Both complemented the architectural style of the main building, and it was clear that it had been designed by a famous architect.
Next, the main building was separated from the side buildings by a wide road, and there was a spacious open space and a garden at the back.
Two quaint small buildings were built at the two corners behind the garden. The small buildings were eight floors high and located in the corners of the courtyard, much like two guards guarding the main building.
In a place like Dusktown where every inch of land was so precious, such a large manor would be worth a colossal amount of money. Moreover, it was difficult to buy even if one had money.
Sebastian is saying that this is my office? What a big joke!
The money I earn in a month is not even enough to afford the maintenance fee here!
“I’m not joking with you,” Sebastian insisted. “This is Dusktown New District. The aristocratic elementary school, aristocratic high school, and business college that had been built in recent years are right across the place. The school’s environment and teachers are the best in Dusktown, and the supporting facilities are the most cutting-edge here. In the future, our whole family will move here; we will send Aldo and Buddy to the elementary school opposite.”
He pointed back to the shops in front of him and said, “Your office is outside here, while their school is just across the road. All of you will feel more reassured with this arrangement.”
Madeline’s eyes widened, and it took a long time for her to recover from the shock. “How about Old Master Hart? Is he also moving here?”
“No,” Sebastian said. “There has been an order from above that there is a project that my dad needs to take charge of, so he’s going back to work.”
“Huh?” Madeline was even more shocked. “Hasn’t Old Master Hart retired?”
“Nope, it’s just a vacation,” Sebastian explained. “Now, there’s an order from above to get him to go back to work.”
Madeline was speechless.
She knew that what people in Philip’s position did at work needed to be kept secret. Thus, she was very sensible and did not ask what he was transferred back for.
Then, she looked around the courtyard and murmured, “This is too extravagant…”
After glancing at her, Sebastian then looked around casually but in a dignified manner. He replied, “My sons deserve the best!”
