Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian)
Chapter 557

"Is this for real? This is over 10 billion dollars worth of betrothal gifts, and she'd be marrying the noble Prince Charles. How could she refuse? What could she be thinking?" "Exactly! It's incomprehensible. If it were me, I would've accepted immediately. I'd be willing to be Prince Charles' mistress, let alone his princess."

"Prince Charles has noble blood and is the heir to Cereria. If it were me, I'd be content even with half the betrothal gift just to be his mistress."

The women present were incredibly envious and all thought Esme was being foolish.

At this point, Charles' face darkened considerably. Esme's repeated rejections made him feel humiliated and angry.

Marie was also furious. "Prince Charles, please don't be angry. Let me talk some sense into her.

"Esme, what's wrong with you? Prince Charles is showing such sincerity, what more could you want? You're being so ungrateful!"

Esme replied, "Mom, Sebastian is the only one I love. I won't marry anyone but him!"

"Have you lost your mind? Who is he? At best, he's just a doctor. In other words, he's a commoner. He can't even compare to Prince Charles. Please, come to your senses," Marie said in exasperation. "Mom, please stop pressuring me. I will never agree to this," Esme said firmly, without a hint of wavering.

"You're driving me crazy!" Marie trembled with anger.

Charles also lost his temper. "Ms. Bailey, my patience has limits. Now I'm asking you for the last time, will you accept or not?"

"I will not!" Esme answered without hesitation.

Charles was thoroughly enraged. "You really won't listen until it's too late. I now declare a complete boycott on the Bailey family. Prepare to be out on the streets."

"Prince Charles, please don't! Let me try to persuade her again," Marie begged desperately.

However, Charles was too angry to listen at this point.

At his command, Victor was the first to respond, with other family representatives quickly following suit.

The Bailey family was already in a precarious position and teetering on the edge. How could they withstand a joint boycott from so many top-tier families?

Soon after, Marie received a call

from her son. Their family

businesses were under attack from unknown forces, partners were terminating contracts, and banks and suppliers were demanding immediate repayment of debts.

Marie collapsed to the ground. "It's over. The Bailey family is finished.

"This is all your fault! You've ruined our family. Are you satisfied now?" Marie shouted at Esme in anger. Meanwhile, Esme could only turn to Sebastian for help.

Sebastian merely smiled gently at her and said, "Trust me. As long as I'm here, I'll ensure the Bailey family remains unharmed and even rises to new heights."

Marie exploded in anger and yelled, "Shut up! How can you still spout such nonsense at a time like this? Do you really think you're some supreme being? You're nothing but an ant. How can you possibly go against Prince Charles?"

Kenny also mocked, "Hey kid, didn't you say that the Lloyd family head would arrive within 10 minutes? The time's almost up. Where is he?"

"He's already here," Sebastian said calmly.

"Where? I don't see anyone. Have you lost your mind?" Kenny sneered.

The others also snickered, thinking that Sebastian was delusional.

Just then, an announcement came from the entrance.

"Ms. Lloyd has arrived!"
