When they got home, they realized that there were two people in the house."Alex, Martin, why are you here in my house? Especially you, Martin. You rarely come to visit me. It's been a few years since we've last seen each other, isn't it?" Sebastian asked happily.Martin got up and hugged Sebastian's shoulder. "My friend, I'm sorry. You've always been in the south while I've always been working on matters in the north. We are just so far apart. When I heard about your matters, you've already resolved them. I truly feel that I have failed you. Therefore, as soon as I heard about your news, I immediately rushed over. However, I'm still too late. Rumors have spread to every nook and cranny in South City now. They are saying that the Ford Group has shrunken by four-fifths because of this war in business with the Shaw family. If that is truly the case, I certainly will lend you a hand. If you're short on money, I'll immediately transfer it to you. I'll give you however much you need. Just
"Of course, I would." Sabrina supported her daughter without any hesitation.She could tell that her daughter did not seem to like the bustling life in the city that much. Instead, she loved nature more. As long as her daughter was happy, Sabrina would not stop her. The future and being highly educated did not matter as long as it was enough for her daughter to support herself, be self-reliant, and have a more fulfilling life."Thanks, Mom," Aino said happily, hugging her mother.At that moment, the way Aino looked was undoubtedly pure and naive in Sebastian, Alex, and Martin's eyes. However, nobody would have expected that despite only being thirteen years old, Aino had suffered plenty.Before she turned five, she had been living poorly with her mother and uncle, which made her understand the miseries of life way too early in her life. After that, her father brought her back to South City. She then became the princess of South City, who was second to none, the young lady, and the
"A few business-savvy talents. A few! You're even going to be scouting them from South City and not within the Ford Group. Wouldn't that mean you're dividing the group up?" Alex asked with concern.Sebastian chuckled. "Alex, there are two sides to everything. Letting the group be divided is only one side of the coin. What if the few independent talents could keep each other in check and compete with each other? That could make the company develop even more quickly. Have you thought of that? I know that you're worried that they would be in conflict with each other after being in competition for a long time, which would then result in disputes in the end. Don't worry. I am taking a back seat, but I am still around. I will keep an eye on them, keep them in check, and let them be in need of each other at all times. This way, they had to think of how to surpass the others, but they also had to ensure the others wouldn't collapse. When necessary, if one of the parties had fallen behind, the
Sebastian looked at Kingston with a gentle smile. "What's the matter? Are you dumbfounded by joy? You've never expected that I would give you such a generous gift, haven't you?"Kingston was speechless. He was truly so happy that he was dumbfounded.He had been following Sebastian for nearly twenty years. He still remembered that he was only sixteen when he had started following Sebastian. He stopped going to school when he was in his junior year in high school because he had beaten up a thug from another school when was seeking revenge for a girl in his class. However, he never expected that the thug would have connections with the upper management of the school. As a result, Kingston, whose grades were not good, to begin with, was expelled from the school during his junior year. He pissed off his parents so much at the time that they almost fainted. In a fit of anger, his parents threw him out of the door. It was fortunate that working abroad was very popular at that time. In order
He was surrounded by bloody situations most of the time, and there was no warmth at all.Other than Alex, whom he had just saved, Sebastian really did not have anybody that was close to him and addressed him endearingly as mister like Kingston.There were none abroad. There were also none back in his country. At that time, Sebastian's half-brothers saw no difference between him and a beggar.Therefore, when Kingston tried to let himself stay by Sebastian's side by addressing him as mister, he instantly melted Sebastian's heart."Have you been trained in combat?" Sebastian asked.Kingston immediately answered him happily, "My family has been trained in combat for generations. My father is very skilled at fights, and he gained his experience from getting in real fights with others since childhood. Not long after I was born, before I even knew how to walk, he already started to let me do stretches. Later, when I was slightly older, he started teaching me various endurance exercises.
Kingston, a tough man, was crying inconsolably. "I…I didn't expect that you…would actually do me such a big favor. The salary you're paying me and the bonuses you give me every year is already the amount a top elite in the city would make in a year. I…I am just a fighter. If I were to be a trainer or whatnot, I may make three hundred thousand dollars a year at best. However, I am making more than five million every year now. You're already treating me well enough. Master Sebastian, I-I don't deserve to be treated like that by you."Sebastian raised his hand and tousled Kingson's hair. He then smiled. "You brat. You're already a big man now, so stop crying! Are you trying to say that I'm not even this nice to my own biological brothers? However, Kingston, do I have biological brothers? Vireo could be considered as one, but he already has shares in the Ford Group. You don't have to worry about that. In this world, other than Vireo, you're the person who has been with me the longest, the
His parents, his uncle, and his aunt were all very old. At that moment, the only person in the entire Yates family who could look for Yvonne was Kingston."I'm sorry, Mister Ford. Thank you for your kindness. I have failed you. I intended to resign today. I wanted to go all over the world to look for Yvonne starting today. I can't accept your gift. I'm sorry, Master Sebastian." He bowed deeply to Sebastian.Sebastian was speechless. To be honest, Sebastian was completely shocked at that moment.Everybody said that Sebastian was a person who had no regard for familial relationships at all. He was so merciless to even his own brothers and his father.However, who would have known that Sebastian was actually the most affectionate person?Nobody understood why Alex from Kidon City would be willing to go through fire and water for Sebastian in the past twenty years. Whenever Sebastian encountered an obstacle that he could not get past, Alex certainly would eliminate all of the obstacle
Sebastian suddenly felt heartbroken when he heard Kingston mentioned getting married.Kingston had been following him for so many years, and he had often reminded Kingston that it was time for him to start a family. However, Kingston would also tell him that he was not interested in getting married. He had never fallen in love with any woman and had always been alone. Because Sebastian had been too busy with the company and all sorts of things for so many years, he had never asked Kingston what was the reason that he did not want to start a family.However, when he suddenly heard Kingston asking him so happily if he could get married, he suddenly understood everything.The reason Kingston did not and was not willing to start a family for so many years was that he did not want to have any burdens.That was because he was Sebastian's bodyguard, he had to be on-call all the time. He had always put Sebastian's safety as the top priority. Therefore, Kingston could not consider marriage.
