Sebastian was stunned for a moment, and then he said calmly, "Let's just wait and see, then."
"Sebastian, are you really not afraid? The Jennings family's properties are so vast, and you actually dared to swallow it whole. Aren't you afraid you'll choke and die?" Natalie mocked him. "Even if my siblings and I don't do anything, don't you think that you won't be able to keep the empire Dean gave you either?"
Sebastian asked, "What's that got to do with you?" After a pause, he added, "Do you think that, even if I weren't to do anything, you'd also get your retribution in the future?"
Natalie's expression instantly darkened.
"People's deeds catch up with them sooner or later." Sebastian said, reminding her that her hands were stained with blood.
"Hoho! Are you trying to scare me?" Natalie was unfazed. "Didn't your dear father also do all sorts of heinous acts? He lived till he was seven-three years old. How many good people in this world have failed to live until such an age? This world has never been fair!"
Sebastian had no argument.
Indeed, Dean was far worse than Natalie! However, Dean was able to live a long and happy life before he died. That was extremely unfair to those people who had died because of him!
Suddenly, Mike walked over with a glass of alcohol in his hand.
"What are you guys talking about? You've got yourselves all worked up!" Mike put an arm around Sebastian's shoulder and looked at Natalie with a smile.
Natalie instantly hid her arrogant expression. "We're talking as a family. There's no place for an outsider like you to interject."
Mike had originally only wanted to listen to gossip, but Natalie's rude and unreasonable attitude caught him off guard.
"A family? Sebastian is not considered a family to the few of you Jennings, right? Didn't you guys join hands to hire a lawyer and are intending to fight him for the inheritance?" Mike mocked her, patting Sebastian's shoulder. "Make room for me," he said.
Sebastian immediately got up and gave his seat to Mike. Following that, Sebastian asked the server to bring another chair.
"Aren't you the babyface by Avery's side? Did Avery ask you to come and help Sebastian?" Christine, the second daughter of Dean, glared at Mike. Her tone was unfriendly.
