Reborn to My Engagement Night Chapter 192 What Is With The Suspicion

Sebastian gazed at her quietly, a wave of warmth washing over his heart. Afterward, he approached the table and drank the prescribed medicine. Following a quick freshening up and a change of clothes, he stood and left the room.

Upon stepping outside, he saw Wesley and Harriet standing like statues by the door, their expressions unusually serious. Malcolm also remained silent on the side.

“What’s wrong?” Sebastian asked, his brow furrowed in concern.

They exchanged a glance, a hint of hesitation lingering in their gaze as if they had something to say but chose to remain silent. In the end, it was Harriet who expressed her concern. “Sebastian, are you feeling better now?”

The doctor had already bandaged him up yesterday, so apart from the pain, there weren’t any major issues. Sebastian didn’t reply verbally, but his silence implied agreement.

“I’m glad you’re all right,” Harriet said, her tension easing. Suddenly, she asked, “What about her? Is she in the room now?”

The “her” in the question referred to Madelyn. Suddenly, a peculiar glint flashed across Wesley’s eyes. Sebastian immediately sensed that something was amiss. Why are they suddenly so interested in Madelyn? They’ve never shown this much concern for her before.

“Speak your mind.” As he adjusted his sleeves, he spoke in an impatient, cold voice. “Don’t beat around the bush.”

Harriet’s face immediately flushed with embarrassment. She only dared to steal a glance at Wesley.

Wesley cleared his throat and said, “Sebastian, it’s about Madelyn. If I’m not mistaken, something happened last night…”

“What is it?” Sebastian raised an eyebrow.

Wesley answered, “This morning, the two bodyguards assigned to watch over Madelyn came to report that yesterday afternoon, while on duty, they were unexpectedly knocked out and stayed unconscious for quite a while.”

He paused, then added, “Of course, Harriet and I have already checked the hotel’s surveillance. Certain segments of the footage have been deleted, particularly the time when they fainted. Sebastian, it appears someone was attempting to erase evidence, suggesting this matter isn’t as straightforward as it seems. I’m afraid Madelyn may have secrets we’re unaware of.”

Harriet, unable to hold back any longer, said, "Sebastian, did she stay in her room doing nothing?"

Of course, the answer was no. Although Madelyn insisted that she hadn’t left the hotel, considering her character, it was unlikely she stayed put. But since she chose to conceal it, there must have been a reason.

After some thought, Sebastian decided not to reveal the truth. Rather annoyed, he shot daggers at the duo. “What’s with the suspicion?”

“Sebastian, I don’t mean to doubt her, but everything is just too suspicious," Wesley said with furrowed brows. "Ever since we arrived here, Madelyn’s actions have raised our suspicions multiple times, and you know it too. Moreover, don’t forget how she treated you in the past. Can someone really change so drastically in such a short time? I believe she’s the reason we fell into Hellfire Creed’s trap.”

Before he could finish speaking, Sebastian interrupted Wesley with a stern voice. “And…?”

Wesley was shocked for a moment.

Sebastian wore a stern expression, his voice chillingly indifferent. “So you accused her just because of footage from a surveillance camera? You all saw it yesterday–it was Hellfire Creed who attacked. What does she have to do with it? Do you think a woman who couldn’t even hurt a fly has the power to command Hellfire Creed?”

Wesley sensed anger in Sebastian’s voice, causing his heart to skip a beat. He hurriedly explained, “That’s not what I meant.”

“Sebastian, you’ve misunderstood us. That’s not what we meant," Harriet, noticing Sebastian’s irritation, swiftly intervened to defuse the tension, steering the conversation toward Morgana in a more rational manner.

“We couldn’t help but find Morgana’s sudden appearance yesterday rather peculiar. What are the chances of such a coincidence? And was that woman truly Morgana? She didn’t quite fit the descriptions we’ve heard.” As she spoke, a sense of unease settled over her, deepening with each passing moment of reflection.

Rumors had it that Morgana was ruthless and cold-blooded, willing to kill without hesitation. Why did this woman show such unexpected mercy yesterday? Could it be that she had actually taken a liking to Sebastian?

“Rumors are just that–rumors. Have any of you actually encountered Morgana?” Sebastian suddenly retorted with a cold voice, sending a chill down everyone’s spine.

“Perhaps that’s who Morgana truly is. Instead of wasting time with these accusations, you’d be better off figuring out how to get these mines up and running,” Sebastian stated nonchalantly. His expression cold as frost, sending a shiver through them.

Yet, Harriet couldn’t help but worry. “Sebastian, I’m afraid she might come after you again. After all, what she did to you yesterday…” Harriet paused, her stomach churning with anger.

The memory of yesterday’s incident remained vivid in Harriet’s mind. She distinctly remembered Morgana testing Sebastian and forcefully kissing him!

Yet, Harriet could only seethe in silence since she lacked the power to contend with Morgana.

Sebastian’s expression remained stern. “Morgana was there for us when we first met her. It seems like she doesn’t mean us any harm. If she did, we wouldn’t have gotten away safely yesterday. And if she comes looking for me, I’m confident I can handle her. You don’t need to worry about me.”

Despite his reassurances, Sebastian was convinced that the Morgana who appeared yesterday was none other than Madelyn.

Yet, he couldn’t help but wonder how Madelyn knew about Morgana’s existence.

Those intimidating figures who stood beside her yesterday didn’t seem to be ordinary people either. Are they veterans of the underworld? Who exactly are those people! What on earth is Madelyn up to?

Sebastian’s eyes, dark as ink, narrowed slightly, unable to comprehend no matter how hard he tried.

Initially, he had wanted to confront Madelyn, but she had chosen to keep things to herself. Perhaps, now isn’t the right time to ask her.

Following that, Sebastian shifted the topic and asked, “How’s the progress on the investigation into Hellfire Creed?”

Sebastian had no intention of letting the matter slide.

Despite the initial agreement to negotiate, Hellfire Creed betrayed them, setting a trap and harboring intentions that were far more sinister than mere business disputes.

In fact, Sebastian was unconcerned with Hellfire Creed’s threats. If they dare to provoke me, they’ll pay the price.

At that moment, Malcolm remarked, “Mr. Lockhart, the people from Hellfire Creed are extremely cunning. They’ve erased all the clues at the scene."
