When Sebastian grabbed the woman’s shoulders, those behind her tensed, their bodies arching forward as they were ready to defend her.

However, the woman raised her hand to stop them, turning her attention back to Sebastian. “Mr. Wilder, our madam has been searching for your mother for years. We’ve found some leads recently. Your mother might still be alive.”

Stunned for a moment, Sebastian’s shock quickly turned to excitement. “Take me to Aunt Lucy Immediately.”

At his level, few things mattered greatly–Lillian was one, the artifact another, and anything concerning his mother was undoubtedly paramount.

“Please.” The woman gestured toward the exit, and Sebastian moved without hesitation.

*Stay here!” Lionel, Jordan, and others blocked their path.

Sebastian’s expression darkened instantly.

“Move out of the way! Do you understand the consequences of offending the Cadwell family?” the woman shouted fiercely

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Bennett What do you know about my mother “Sebastian asked, his voice tinged with urgency

Jagla’s expression turned grave. “I don’t have many details either. We only recently stumbled upon a clue suggesting your mother may have been held captive.”

“What? Who did this?” Sebastian’s voice grew louder, a fierce aura of anger enveloping him.

Whoever dared to imprison his mother had crossed a line. He swore to himself that he would make them beg for death..

Jayla was taken aback by his intense reaction and reassessed him.

From her briefings, Sebastian was understood to be a recently discharged soldier who had married into the relatively unremarkable Smith family.

However, his current demeanor was that of a wrathful deity.

“Mr. Wilder, please calm down. It’s only a suspicion at this point. You should ask Madam directly when you meet her,” she suggested cautiously.

Meanwhile in Divinopolis, within the opulent residence of the Cadwell family

Sitting in a grand hall on a plush couch was Lecy Bennett, the dignified and elegant matriarch of the Cadwell family.

Across from her sat a young and beautiful woman, Jenny Cadwell, who bore a striking resemblance to her mother, Lucy,

“Mom, how can you force me to marry someone I’ve never even met? I won’t do it,” Jenny protested indignantly.

*His mother and Jare sworn sisters. We promised each other this betrothal when you were both children. You’ll comply, willingly or not,” Lacy stated firmly, her tonebrooking no argument
