Sebastian's magnetic voice reverberated through the microphone, washing over the entire auditorium. It was a guarantee that every single person heard him loud and clear.
In that moment, the name of a little girl—Lily—became the savior of countless struggling students. It also acted as a nuclear bomb dropped into a placid lake.
Inside the massive hall holding nearly a thousand people, faces contorted in absolute shock.
"Mr. Croix has a child? A daughter?"
"Since when? Weren't there rumors that his marriage to Professor Ortiz was a total disaster?"
A tidal wave of frantic whispers swept through the room.
Standing in the corner, Raelynn felt as though lightning had struck her very core. The fountain pen slipped from her numb fingers, hitting the floor so hard it snapped in two. The color drained completely from her face as she stared up at the man on the stage in sheer disbelief.
She completely forgot to breathe.
White noise rushed through her ears, shattering any coherent thought.
Even Sierra beside her lost her composure, her face twisting dramatically. She snapped her head toward Raelynn. "What does that mean? Why is he claiming she's his daughter? Did you beg Mr. Croix to use this as a cover story for you?"
She was so rattled by the revelation that her usual sickly-sweet tone vanished, replaced by a sharp, demanding edge.
Raelynn didn't spare her a single word.
Her chest heaved, her spine turning to ice as she remained locked onto Sebastian.
On stage, Sebastian looked utterly unfazed. However, his dark eyes glinted with a glacial chill that lacked any warmth. "This educational foundation is a joint donation from Raelynn and me, for our daughter."
That sentence detonated the room all over again.
A joint donation with Raelynn... for their daughter.

Literally on edge!...
No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
