As soon as Kyle spoke, everyone was dazed with shock. How confident and brave would one have to be to make such a promise?Eating a giant bowl of worms?Even Gregory's face twitched slightly as he looked at Kyle out of the corner of his eye. He cursed him inwardly for being a terrible partner. Eating worms? Why would he drag Gregory into that?"Shut up!" Micah looked at Gregory and said, "Mr. Larkin Senior, are you sure that your pill will be effective?"Gregory looked very awkward as he said, "Of course! You heard my grandson. If we weren't extremely confident, he… he wouldn't have made such a grand promise.""Alright. Please save my sister, Mr. Larkin Senior!" Micah said as he moved aside.Gregory walked over arrogantly to Melissa and stuffed the pill carefully into her mouth. Someone handed him a glass of water. Gregory took it and fed the pill to Melissa.As soon as she had swallowed the pill, a red flush appeared on Melissa's face. Kyle said excitedly, "Well? Look at that
"I don't care what solution you find. If my sister doesn't wake up, I'll bury the two of you alive!" Micah flung Gregory aside and looked meaningfully at a few of the security guards, who immediately surrounded the Larkins.Gregory knew that he was in trouble this time. He scrambled over to Sebastian's feet and clung to the latter's thigh, saying, "Please, save me! I'm begging you, save me!"Sebastian looked down at Gregory and said, "Your grandson already said that if your Soulreturner pill didn't work, you'd both eat a huge bowl of worms right here. Besides, the Stallones trust you more than they trust me."Micah's heart dropped to his stomach. Did Sebastian mean that he would be able to save Melissa?Micah could no longer bother about maintaining an image. He hurried over to Sebastian and kicked Gregory aside. "Damn it, you old dog, get lost!"Micah said very politely to Sebastian, "Mr. Ballard, please forgive my ignorance. Please don't hold it against me, and please save my
At the very least, Sebastian was much stronger than the Larkins.The Stallones might have a huge family fortune, but they were still wary of those who belonged to the mystic sects.Even though Micah knew that Sebastian was the one who had messed with Melissa from the start, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.However, a hatred for Sebastian had already taken root in him.Micah told himself that there would always be another day. Sooner or later, he would make Sebastian pay twice as much for what he had done.Micah was filled with hatred, but his smile did not betray his emotions as he nodded and said, "Thank you for the warning, Mr. Ballard. I'll remember the favor you did us today." He shot a look at the security guards and said to the Larkins, "You two! Come with me. You're going to eat that bowl of worms today!""Micah! Are we just going to let him go? I… no matter what, I have to get back at him today!" Melissa said, looking unhappy. "Don't be unreasonable, Mel! W
"New World Media?" Sebastian pretended to be shocked. Then he said, "I've never heard of it." Jeremiah had been getting ready to say something that would show his humility, but Sebastian's words made him feel like a bucket of cold water had been emptied over him. He felt cold to the core. "Actually, our company has promoted a lot of top celebrities. It's very well known in the entertainment industry." Jeremiah couldn't resist boasting a little. "That's good." Sebastian laughed dryly."Rosalie, you have such great poise. Even though you've left the Griffin family, I could make you one of the top celebrities in the country within half a year at most. "Perhaps the Griffins will even send someone to ask you to come back. What do you think? Are you interested in joining my company?" Jeremiah asked, his eyes shining as he stared at Rosalie. Jeremiah was the CEO of a media company, and he had had his eye on Rosalie's beauty for a long time. He just hadn't had an opportunity to appr
"Hmph! Would a guy like you be worthy of being here? This is an insult to those of us in the upper class!" Jeremiah yelled angrily.People like Jeremiah brought bodyguards with them wherever they went. As soon as he shouted, his bodyguards and the leader of the security team, Ralph Towne, converged upon them with dozens of others. "What's the matter now, sir?" Ralph turned a hostile glare on Sebastian. Sebastian had just offended the Stallones, and now he had offended Jeremiah. He was just causing trouble here! "What happened? He's trying to lure my girlfriend away right in front of me. If he was flirting with your wife, what would you do?" Sebastian asked, looking coldly at Ralph."He's accusing me groundlessly! I'm friends with this lady and we were just chatting. He hit me without even figuring out what was going on!" Jeremiah roared, pointing to the handprint on his face. "What? Don't talk nonsense. I don't even know you!" Rosalie said with a look of revulsion on her face.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, sir," Ralph huffed coldly. There was an icy flash in his eyes as he waved at the Grandmaster experts beside him.Jeremiah looked triumphant and crossed his arms over his chest, looking scornfully at Sebastian. He was looking forward to watching the show.There was a cold gleam in Sebastian's eyes as his gaze swept over the security guards, Jeremiah, and Jeremiah's bodyguards. "Are you sure you won't regret it?" Ralph scoffed and reached to grab Sebastian's collar.He expected Sebastian to only struggle for a while before submitting at once. He thought he could take Sebastian down easily with just a single move.However, before he touched Sebastian's collar, he felt as if a speeding train had crashed into his chest, and he found himself flying backward helplessly. As Ralph was sent flying, a trail of blood flew through the air behind him. He slammed against a stone pillar before falling heavily to the ground. He had been knocked out cold.When the
"Mr. Gibson, bad news! Our security team got beaten up, and there's a young lady being held hostage!" a security guard in a black suit said to Tripp Gibson, who was sitting in the center of the room.Tripp put down the document he was holding and frowned slightly as he said, "Who would be bold enough to make a fuss at my banquet?"The security guard explained to Tripp about what had happened. After listening, he slammed the table.His temper had improved greatly over the past few years, and many people had forgotten that he wasn't just a businessman; he was also an extremely ruthless man."Who are the people who started this conflict? Have you checked?" Tripp asked grimly."Yes. One of them is Jeremiah Manson, the CEO of New World Media. The other is named Ballard. I heard that he's a consultant of Arctic Snow Group in Steinberg. He probably doesn't come from a prestigious background," the guard answered quickly.At the mention of Sebastian, a young man sitting beside Tripp scoff
"Whitney, I won't pursue this further for Mr. Ryder's sake. However, how can you defend your ex-husband in front of me? Isn't that disrespectful to me as your fiancé?" Jayden asked menacingly.Whitney's pretty face turned frosty. She retorted icily, "Jayden, did I ever agree to marry you? Who are you calling your fiancée? Please show some respect!"Jayden laughed coldly and said, "Ms. Sutton, don't forget that you'd have been kicked out of Frostwave Corporation by now if your mother hadn't agreed to our marriage. Even your current position as vice CEO is only secure because of the influence of my family."Whitney was stunned.Just a day ago, Edna had personally decided to make Ryder the CEO of Frostwave Corporation. As for Whitney, all she would get was an inconsequential position.Things at Frostwave Corporation had turned upside down overnight, and there were mixed feelings about it in the Sutton family.Those led by Morty had all taken Ryder's side at once, and they had immedi
