Hearing this, Angelina Peck frowned and said, "Ang, didn''t you just say that in your heart, I''m the perfect match for Sebastian?"


    Ang lowered her head guiltily and said, "Angelina, but I''ve always had a thing for Sebastian."


    A hint of mockery shed in Angelina Peck''s eyes as she turned to Sebastian. "Now I get it, Sebastian. That''s why you can''t stand the Kleins, but I''m guessing you wouldn''t be interested in someone like her either, right?" "Angelina, you... Sebastian, I''ve always liked you... I fell for you the moment Iid eyes on you. I''d do anything for you, I swear. Just pick me."


    Angelina Peck sneered, "Look at yourself, acting all high and mighty. You''re even worse than those illegitimate daughters!N?velDrama.Org content.


    Sebastian, we grew up together, and I know you well, but I promise you, this is just a political marriage. I won''t force you to do anything you don''t want to!


    I just want to do what''s best for our family. All I need is the title of the Ingram family''s mistress, so it''d be smart to choose me at a time like this."


    Disgust shed in Sebastian''s eyes, but he was running out of time.


    He didn''t have time to loathe these people. He nced at the silent Caroline Snider and said, "Ms. Snider, would you pleasee with me?" Caroline Snider looked up at him in shock and said, "I... I''m not in the mood."


    "Please, Ms. Snider. I need your help!"


    Sebastian''s eyes were full of sincerity as he looked at her.


    Caroline Snider frowned. "I..."


    Impatient, Sebastian grabbed her wrist and pulled her along.


    There was a room on the second floor of the Ingram family''s house.


    The room had a balcony.


    Once his grandfather let his guard down and withdrew the security, or at least reduced it.


    He''d have a chance to escape.


    His own grandfather was setting him up. It''s enough!


    As he pulled Caroline Snider away, he left a stunned Ang and a livid Angelina Peck behind.


    Fine!


    Sebastian!


    You''d rather choose a dying Snider family over the Peck family, huh?


    You''ll regret this!


    As for Ang, she knew Sebastian wouldn''t choose her since he despised her, but she didn''t expect him to choose Caroline Snider.


    But the most hopeless one was Caroline Snider. She had no idea she''d be caught up in this mess when she left home tonight.


    Sebastian seemed drugged. She was sure she''d be at a disadvantage if he took her to his room.


    But she was petite and weak, unable to resist as Sebastian pulled her along.


    Fortunately, once Sebastian brought her into his room and closed the door, he didn''ty a finger on her.


    He even exined, "Ms. Snider, I mean no disrespect. You can rx. However, I need to get out of here If I dy any longer, if I did something to Ms. Snider, I don''t think you''d be too happy, would you?"


    Caroline Snider asked in surprise, "Mr. Ingram, how do you know I wouldn''t be okay with it? If something happened between us, it would be a good thing for the Snider family."
