Chapter 245 Sebastian was furious at Lillian's response. He remembered the care and love he had once shown her. He had never forced her into anything, yet his kindness had only been met with betrayal. This left him feeling cold and indifferent, with no desire to be polite anymore.
Tears of sadness and helplessness streamed down Lillian's face, and she felt an urge to flee. Yet, she restrained herself and slowly undressed.
She couldn't leave. If she didn't secure the project, the Smith Group would be finished. Her grandfather had poured his life into the company, and it was the hope of her entire family. She had invested so much into it herself. How could she stand by and watch the company go bankrupt? Lillian was known as the belle of Ravenview and was considered unmatched in beauty throughout Wave City.
Her beauty and perfect figure were undeniable. She had a curvaceous body, a slim waist, and long, shapely legs. There wasn't an ounce of excess fat on her, making her figure breathtakingly perfect.
Sebastian sat in his chair, unable to take his eyes off her.

Blushing deeply, Lillian took a full five minutes to undress completely. She then walked to the bed and lay down slowly.
Sebastian approached, his restraint slipping away in the face of Lillian's captivating allure. Unable to resist any longer, he moved toward her with the hunger of a predator. His lips met hers in a fervent kiss while his hands explored her body with unrestrained passion, reveling in every sensation.
Lillian shut her eyes tightly, attempting to shield herself from embarrassment as she silently endured the moment. She had expected this when she walked in, but the moment left her tense and scared.
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Normally, her tears would have softened Sebastian's heart, but the pain of her betrayal had hardened him. At this moment, he felt no mercy, only a desire to vent his frustration.
Just as Sebastian was about to proceed, a thought crossed his mind.
The Eternal Rebirth Codex that Sebastian was currently practicing had its limitations. To advance to the next level, he needed to engage in dual cultivation with a woman possessing a pure spiritual constitution and who was also a virgin. Lillian met the criteria perfectly.
After examining Lillian's body, Sebastian discovered that her constitution was not merely spiritual but a lot more powerful than he had anticipated. Furthermore, she remained a virgin, meeting all the necessary criteria.
With this realization, Sebastian paused. He was on the brink of advancing to a pinnacle grandmaster, and it wouldn't be long before he reached that stage.
Without the aid of elixirs, the process would take around a year. If he could gather century-old dragon toot and century-old white herb to refine into high-quality Essence Nourishing Pills, he could expedite the process by more than half.
It seemed prudent to delay until he reached the breakthrough stage before taking her virginity.

This unexpected change left Lillian flustered. She thought Sebastian had relented because of her tears. Hastily, she pleaded, "SuprOne, I'll stop crying. Please, claim me." Feeling desperate, she knelt on the bed. She realized that if Sebastian stopped now, all her previous sacrifices would be futile.
"I'll claim you, but not at this moment. Return hand await my call. Until then, you must remain chaste. Do you understand?" Sebastian asked coldly.
Lillian nodded frantically and then looked up at Sebastian with a pitiful expression. "What about the project?" she asked.
"I'll hand over the previous ten billion-dollar project to you at the suprbanquet tomorrow," Sebastian announced.
"Thank you, SuprOne," Lillian expressed her gratitude.
Although she had traded her innocence for the project, the joy it would bring to her parents and family, the preservation of the company, and the security of the livelihoods of thousands of people relying on the Smith Group made it all worth it.
Sebastian then instructed Joseph to have Lillian escorted back hand provided her with a VIP invitation. The next morning, the suprbanquet began as scheduled.
The event took place at Misty Oak Hotel, renowned as the most prestigious venue in Wave City.
