Remorse After Breaking Up

Chapter 436

Cassandra was tied at the stake for almost an hour outside the Lennon residence.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Two men beside her had already prepared the fire. They were preparing to light up the wood at the stake.

So, Cassandra was extremely fearful. Sebastian hadn't appeared at this time, and it seemed that he wasn't planning to rescue her. This made her lose all hope.

Just then, Julian and Dave approached her.

Cassandra hurriedly pleaded, "Grandpa, I've learned my mistakes. Please let me go. I don't want to die."

Julian replied, "Cassandra, I can't bear to do this either, but we have to adhere to our family's rules. Since you committed a grave mistake, I can only do this. Otherwise, I won't be able to give our family members a proper explanation."

At that moment, a large crowd had gathered to watch the scene. All of them felt that Julian was too ruthless. He wanted to burn his own granddaughter to death.

After that, Cassandra looked at Dave. "Mr. Dave, you care for me the most. Please help me beg Grandpa for mercy." "I can't help you, Cassandra." Dave shook his head.

This extinguished all of Cassandra's remaining hopes.

She shouldn't have trusted Sebastian.

At that moment, Cassandra regretted her actions deeply. If she hadn't trusted Sebastian, this wouldn't have happened.

Dave looked at the time and said softly, "Mr. Lennon Senior, I think Sebastian isn't going to appear."

On the other hand, Sebastian answered viciously, "I heard that he's a loyal person. If my guess is correct, Sebastian will certainly appear. He might be hiding in the crowd now."

"But we can't do anything if he doesn't appear now," Dave replied.

"We'll force him to come out. Light the fire!"

Julian spoke the last sentence loudly, addressing it to the two men controlling the fire.

Even though those men felt bad about burning Cassandra to death, they didn't dare to disobey Julian's orders. As such, they lit the fire.

The wood was ignited immediately, and fire blazed around the stake.

"Mr. Lennon Senior is really ruthless. He is burning his own granddaughter to death!"

Pity filled everyone's eyes as they whispered to themselves.

At first, Cassandra was still hopeful that Julian would care for her because they were family members. Yet, at that moment, she fell into despair.

Just before the flammes swallowed Cassandra completely, someone suddenly mocked Julian.

"Julian, even a lion won't eat their own cubs, but you're burning your granddaughter to death. You're worse than a beast!"

"Who's scolding me? Reveal yourself now!" Julian roared.

Just then, a commotion occurred in one corner of the crowd. Everyone made way for a man.

The man wore a windbreaker. There was a veil on his face so others couldn't see his real features.

"Who are you?" Julian asked while staring at Sebastian.

The truth was that he'd already guessed who the latter was.

"I'm going to kill you!" Sebastian replied. He rushed toward Cassandra.

Since Cassandra helped him a lot, he couldn't let her die like that. So, even though he knew there was a trap, he still approached her.

After seeing this, Julian smiled smugly.

"Those who aren't involved in this, please leave!" Dave roared at the crowd. He had used his divine energy to yell, so his voice was deafeningly loud.

The crowd had wanted to watch the commotion at first. However, they were petrified by Dave's voice, so they escaped quickly.

"You little bastard. You're going to die today!" Julian shouted. After that, he lunged at Sebastian murderously. At that moment, Sebastian had already approached Cassandra and was removing the ropes on her body.

The latter was so touched that she cried. "This might be a trap. Please leave."

"You should leave first. I'll stop him."

Sebastian grabbed Cassandra's shoulder and flung her out of the way. Following that, he dashed toward Julian coldly.
