Chapter 36
Lillian, the belle of Ravenview, always looked breathtakingly gorgeous. Her beauty seemed even more ethereal in her current pitiable state.
Andrew almost couldn't resist the urge to pin her down and devour her. However, he still managed to restrain himself. She was already in his hands after all.
Lillian worked slowly, taking a full minute to undo the first button.
Overwhelmed by lust, Andrew lost the last bit of his patience. He immediately strode over with a fierce determination to rip her out of her clothes. He'd toy with her ruthlessly.
Despair and helplessness filled Lillian's eyes. How she wished someone could come to her rescue. She knew it was unrealistic because it was practically impossible for anyone to save her.
Meanwhile, Sebastian had no idea about her predicament. He himself was already in deep waters.
Andrew reached out to grab Lillian's clothes.
His eyes widened the next instant as he fixed his gaze on her neck. To be more specific, he was staring at the crimson-red pendant on her neck.
The lust in his eyes was quickly replaced by sheer shock. Cold sweat began to clad his forehead.
He plopped to the ground on his knees before Lillian. "Greetings, madam! Please have mercy on me!"
Andrew's haughtiness vanished instantly the moment he saw the pendant. He was quivering in front of Lillian.
Most people would assume the pendant was nothing more than a plain crystal pendant. Only a few people knew it was made out of Crimson Quartz. It was priceless.
Andrew wasn't intimidated by the Seraphic Tear pendant's exorbitant value. However, he feared the pendant's symbolism.
It was the supreme token the Supreme One carried with him. He never parted with it. Lillian wearing it clearly indicated that she was the Supreme One's woman.
The Shadowtiger clan might be formidable, but it was only a small branch under one of the four legions in the Supreme Nexus, the Frostclaw Legion.
Andrew was of no significance in Supreme Nexus, and his intent to dishonor the Supreme One's wife was a capital offense.
Lillian was stunned. She was already prepared to be sexually assaulted, but Andrew suddenly started begging for her mercy.
"Mr. Miller, what are you doing?" This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"I beg for your mercy, Madam! Just Andy will do. I have offended you. Please forgive me and spare my life!"
As Andrew spoke, he slapped himself across his face hard. Blood began trickling down the corners of his lips.
Still, the pain wasn't enough to overpower the terror washing through him. If the Supreme One found out that he had sexually assaulted his wife, he'd be tortured to death.
Unable to bear the thought of it, he shuddered in fear.
"Mr. Miller, what's wrong with you? You just addressed me as "madam". What's going on?" Lillian was perplexed. She began suspecting that Andrew had lost his sanity.
With his head hung low, he spluttered, "The pendant necklace you're wearing is the Seraphic Tear Pendant, and it's the supreme token. Since you're wearing it, then you must be the Supreme One's wife.
"I was extremely ignorant for offending you earlier. Please have mercy on me."
"The Seraphic Tear Pendant necklace?" Lillian grabbed the pendant, visibly baffled. Sebastian had given this to her before they registered for marriage.
She initially thought it was just a very ordinary crystal pendant. Who knew it was actually the supreme token? How could this be?
Could it be that Sebastian was, in fact, the Supreme One?
Lillian wasn't convinced. She figured he was just a commoner with some remarkable medical knowledge. How could he be the Supreme One? There must be some sort of misunderstanding going on.
Still, she didn't ask any further. She could very well seize this opportunity to escape.
"Oh yeah, I grabbed your hair with this hand earlier. That is unforgivable," Andrew said, taking a sword off the wall. He extended his left hand and amputated it with a single blow.
Andrew let out an agonizing scream. His left hand was severed, and the wound was now bleeding profusely.
Lillian covered her mouth in sheer disbelief. Her pupils were blown wide from shock.
Andrew, who seemed so formidable to her, severed his hand to apologize to her just because he mistook her as the Supreme One's wife. Was the Supreme One really as powerful as rumored?
Andrew was sweating profusely from the excruciating pain. Clenching his teeth, he braced himself and got on his knees again.
"Madam, I've already cut off my hand. Please spare me this time. I won't dare to do it again in the future."
"Fine, I forgive you. Hurry up and go to the hospital."
Lillian didn't sympathize with Andrew. Given the amount of transgressions he had done, he most certainly deserved to die. She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
