Right then, a group of young men and women approached, led by Lana Sanders in a flowing white dress.
Lana appeared to be in her early 20s, with cascading long hair. She had a graceful figure and an angelic face, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication like a noblewoman from a bygone era.
Lana's appearance drew everyone's attention. Many of the men were utterly captivated by her looks.
"Uncle William, what are you doing?" Lana asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLana was Bruce's youngest daughter, technically the Sanders family's princess.
"This bastard beat Jake severely, and I was just about to kill him for revenge," William said.
Lana looked at Sebastian. "Is what my uncle said true?" "It is, but there's more to the story," Sebastian replied. He then briefly summarized the events.
Lana nodded in realization. "Uncle William, since Jake was at fault first, we should just let this matter slide." The crowd was stunned. No one expected Lana to defend Sebastian.
William was equally surprised. Fuming, he added, "Lana, how can you side with an outsider? Have you forgotten how well Jake treated you?" Lana's anger flared upon hearing William's words. While Jake treated her well at times, he was a scumbag who only did so to take advantage of her. Jake was the worst of the worst.
"I'm standing up for what's right, not just for my family. Besides, they're guests on Phaedra Island." "Well said!" Sebastian started applauding, and others soon joined in.
William's face twisted with anger. "That's his version of the story. Jake wouldn't do such a thing." "If so, I'll report this to my father and have him send someone to investigate this. If Sebastian's lying, I'll kill him myself to avenge Jake." "Scumbag! Just wait and see!" William was enraged. He knew well enough about Jake's behavior and couldn't let them investigate further.
William knew revenge was off the table now, with Lana backing Sebastian. Furious, he stormed off after a parting threat.
Lana followed suit, but before leaving, she discreetly winked at Sebastian.
Sebastian smiled in return.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had anticipated this and contacted Lana beforehand. They had been close for three years. Knowing William would seek revenge for Jake, Sebastian made sure Lana would intervene before he cback.
With Lana's status, she could handle things as long as they didn't escalate too far.
"Dammit! I'm fucking pissed!" William raged and smashed a table upon returning home.
Jake, now awake, learned revenge had failed and was equally furious.
"Dad, how can I face anyone in the future if I let this matter slide so easily? I was beaten up so badly."
"Of course we are not letting it go so easily. But Lana's protesting him now, so can't intervene directly. It's up to you now," William said.
"But I can't beat him," Jake admitted, feeling defeated. Despite his hatred for Sebastian, he had to admit Sebastian's skill was far superior.
"Are you stupid? If you can't beat him. alone, get help! It's normal for young people to have conflicts," William hinted. "I get it now!" Jake's eyes lit up with realization.
"That bastard! I'll make sure he regrets ever crossing me."
