NovelStartChapter 624 "You're courting death!" Martin was instantly angry.
As the City Lord, no one besides his precious daughter had ever dared to defy him. This made him very angry.
However, Sebastian wasn't afraid of him at all. He Bertha was concerned for Sebastian's safety, so she quickly stepped in front of him. She looked at Martin and said, "Mr. Knott, please calm down. Yes, this young man is a bit reckless, but your demand is unreasonable. How could anyone casually abandon his wife?" "I don't care! To preserve my daughter's reputation, this is the only solution. If he refuses, then I'll have no choice but to kill him!" Martin said coldly.
"You can't kill me," Sebastian said fearlessly.

Unless you plan to hide in there for the rest of your life!" "I won't need to hide, because you..." "Sebastian, shut up!" Bertha interrupted. She was afraid that Sebastian's words would only provoke Martin further.
"Mr. Knott, he's too young to know better. Don't stoop to his level. Why don't we find a compromise?" "Ms. Erikson, what solution do you have in mind?" Martin asked.
Bertha smiled lightly and replied, "It's actually quite simple. It's not uncommon for a man to have multiple wives. He doesn't need to divorce his current wife to marry your daughter." "What kind of nonsense is that? My daughter will never be anyone's side-chick!" Martin snorted.
"Of course not. I'm suggesting that she and his current wives be equal and no hierarchy between them," Bertha explained.
Martin's expression finally softened. "I suppose that could work." "I don't agree," Sebastian refused again.
After all, both Lillian and Lana were still waiting for him, not to mention Alissa, whom he hadn't figured out how to deal with yet. Adding another woman into the mix would drive him mad.
He also had no feelings for Heather whatsoever. Apart from being beautiful, she's just useless.
Marrying her would just be inviting trouble.
Hearing that, Martine fumed. He started to have murderous intent toward Sebastian.
"You little brat! I've already concealed so much, allowing my daughter to share a husband with other women. That's something you should be grateful for, and yet you still dare to refuse! Do you think my daughter isn't good enough for you? Or is it that you don't respect me?" Heather was also furious.

Bertha pulled Sebastian aside and said, "Sebastian, why are you being so stubborn? Martin is the lord of this city, and he controls the entire Holton. If you offend him, the consequences could be severe. Even if you don't think of yourself, you need to consider your family." "So just because he's the city lord, he can forceto marry a woman I don't love?" "Well, what did you expect after getting involved with his daughter?" Bertha replied. "I was saving her!" Sebastian defended.
"I know, but Mr. Knott isn't wrong either. A woman's reputation is important, especially her virtue. When you saved her, you should've been E more mindful. She's an unmarried young woman, and you've seen her naked and touched her. Of course, this will cause trouble," Bertha said. Sebastian was speechless.
Even though he didn't believe he was at fault, he had to admit he'd tarnished Heather's reputation.
Bertha thought for a moment before saying, "How about this? You agree to an engagement for now, and we can figure out the rest later." Sebastian had no choice but to agree.
If it were just about him, he would never compromise. However emma and Alissa were at home, though he didn't know how to face his new wife. If he pushed Martin too far, there was no telling what the man might do to them.
