But all the troubles Roxanne had ever faced at college had been because of Sebastian.
Rita and Cecilia were both Liana's lackeys. Everything they did to make Roxanne's life miserable at college was because of Liana. Today's incident definitely had Liana's fingerprints all over it too. And everything Liana did was because of Sebastian.
So, any guilt Roxanne felt toward Sebastian vanished instantly. She was already upset herself. Why should she still care about Sebastian?
"I'm not going!"
She hung up the phone right after saying it, then turned around and left the college without looking back.
Sebastian stared at the call screen. As he listened to the beeping tone, a flicker of confusion crossed his deep-set features. He tightened his grip on the phone.
Yesterday, Roxanne had promised she would come. Today, she didn't show up. As expected, she still couldn't forgive him.
Roxanne didn't come, but Sebastian's four advisors did.
At a time like this, there was no way Nicholas would miss the chance to witness Sebastian's embarrassment firsthand.
Today, among the four, Jake was clearly the most excited.
As soon as he sat down, he said directly to Sebastian, "Mr. Hayes, Roxanne is already married to someone else. The obstacle between you and Ms. Halesworth is gone. All you have to do is give Ms. Halesworth a proper title, show her the same favoritism as before, and she'll eventually marry you."
The other three stared at Jake in shock. It turned out that having someone from the same college as Roxanne really was an advantage. He actually knew such a big piece of news!
Violet actually knew too, but she wasn't sure if it was true and didn't dare say anything. After all, this was Sebastian they were facing. She wouldn't risk spreading rumors.
A dark glint flashed in Sebastian's eyes as he looked at Jake. "How do you know she's married?"
