Roxanne cursed Sebastian repeatedly in her heart. Didn't he say he would protect her? What a load of nonsense! She should never have had even the slightest expectation of him.
After suffering at Liana's hands so many times, she still hadn't learned her lesson. It served her right.
Realizing she had no escape, Roxanne stopped struggling altogether and casually sat on the edge of the cliff.
With a faint, mocking smile, she looked at Nathaniel. "Nathaniel, I don't recall ever crossing you. Where did all this hostility come from? Just because of Liana?"
The truth was, she and Nathaniel had never gotten along. From the very beginning, he had looked down on her. He always had a condescending sneer on his face in front of her.
Nathaniel scoffed coldly. "You're right. You've never done anything to me. And yes, I despise you because of Ms. Halesworth. But there's another reason. Who do you think you are? How dare you think you're worthy of Sebastian? You actually believe you can compete with Ms. Halesworth for him?
"You've been in Valoria for years, but who has ever truly acknowledged you? Where do you find the audacity to keep clinging to him?"
Roxanne was speechless. "How is that any of your damn business? Whether I pursue Sebastian or not, that's between him and me. What does it have to do with you?" she sneered.
"And another thing—you keep saying you're doing all this for Liana, but didn't you force yourself on her? You're nothing but a selfish, ungrateful bastard. Not only are you shameless, but you're a hypocrite too! Liana was unlucky to have ever helped you!"
There was no point arguing with a lunatic.
Nathaniel's expression darkened.
"She let me! I would die for her! Since I've already crossed Sebastian, I'm not expecting to get out of this alive. Roxanne, you have to die too!"
Nathaniel knew the moment Sebastian sent the legal notice demanding repayment, his fate was sealed. All he could think about was Liana. He loved her deeply.
Roxanne wasn't wrong. He was despicable and shameless. But before he died, he wanted to fulfill his desires. After that, he would kill Roxanne for Liana. He would have no regrets. And most importantly, Liana would never forget him.
