"So what? At least I'm not in the wrong! Unlike you," Whitney grumbled.Sebastian frowned but didn't respond.Just then, Rosalie walked over. She was slightly stunned to see Whitney there as well, and she asked, "Ms. Sutton, are you here for dinner too?"As she spoke, she walked over to Sebastian and clutched at his arm. She then shot a smile at a pale-looking Whitney and said, "Ms. Sutton, I'll go in with Sebastian first. Enjoy your dinner with your friend!"After that, she dragged Sebastian into the cabaret before Whitney could even answer.Whitney huffed and stomped her feet in annoyance. Watching Sebastian and Rosalie walk into the cabaret together gave her a stuffy feeling in her chest.Just then, Theresa had also parked the car and walked toward Whitney with confident strides. She raised an eyebrow as she asked, "Who was that just now?""No one important. Let's go," Whitney replied coldly."Alright then," Theresa said, and the two women linked arms before they walked into
Theresa stood behind the both of them with her arms crossed before her chest as she asked them coldly. Sebastian turned to face the woman behind him and asked in confusion, "Do we know each other?"Theresa smiled mildly. "I'm Whitney's best friend from childhood, Theresa Livington. I was studying overseas four years ago, so I couldn't attend her wedding."Best friend?Sebastian frowned. Whitney had never mentioned Theresa before."Is there something wrong then, Ms. Livington?" Sebastian asked.Theresa scanned Sebastian critically before she said haughtily, "Three years ago, I had wondered who Whitney had married. She was always telling me how handsome and capable her husband was. However, I see now that you're not that special after all."Sebastian frowned but still flashed Theresa a smile. "If this is all you wanted to say, then there's no need to continue. Whitney and I are already divorced," he said.Theresa gave him a serene smile as she replied, "Even if the both of you
It was just that Theresa had indeed gone a bit too far with her words just now. She never said that her three-year marriage to Sebastian was a stain on her life.Sebastian's gaze was frosty as he let out a mocking chuckle. "Ms. Sutton, if there's anything you need to tell me in the future, please just tell it to me directly. There's no need for you to trouble your best friend to humiliate me," he said."Sebastian… It was all just a misunderstanding…" Whitney started, desperate to explain herself, but she was cut off by Sebastian's scoff.He then deliberately turned to look at Theresa before locking eyes with Whitney again.The meaning behind his look was clear. How could this possibly be a misunderstanding? Did she really want him to believe that everything Theresa said was of her own accord?"Ms. Sutton, I've never wanted to fight with you, but if you keep forcing my hand, I will not hesitate to retaliate," he informed her coldly.Whitney paled at that, and Theresa walked
Theresa was extremely excited.Anyone who could develop a prescription like this must be an absolute genius!If this prescription was discovered by research institutions abroad, it would certainly create an uproar in the medical world!Whitney looked embarrassed and wondered if she should tell Theresa the truth. After all, Theresa had just insulted Sebastian to his face half an hour ago at the cabaret.What would Theresa think if she knew that Sebastian was the one who had made this prescription?After hesitating for a while, Whitney smiled lightly. "It's nothing. This prescription was made through the joint efforts of the research department at my company."Theresa was disappointed when she heard this. It had been a collaborative effort, then. However, it was enough to prove that Whitney's research team was outstanding. "Theresa, is there anything wrong with the prescription?" Whitney was more concerned about that. This prescription had to be used with Sebastian's acupunctur
"I believe in you! Keep it up!"Rosalie ran off without knowing whether or not Sebastian had heard her.Sebastian turned in surprise. He smiled exasperatedly as he watched the car's tail lights recede into the distance. Compared to Whitney, Rosalie was a lot more naive and endearing. Besides, she reminded him of how unconditionally Whitney had trusted in him three years ago. Sebastian exhaled, feeling like his mind was crowded with thoughts. As he was bored, he thought of what Whitney had accused him of that morning. After some thought, he opened Twitter and searched for the account "Aloof Snow". It was definitely Rosalie.She had more than 100 thousand followers, which was a pretty high number.She didn't update much, and there were only about four or five tweets in total. They were mostly pictures of herself that she'd taken while traveling, and all the comments below were from beautiful women. The most recent tweet was about the "Arctic Snow Mask", and it had been post
Very soon, his tweet began trending, boosted by an invisible burst of power. It wasn't Sebastian's intention, but unfortunately, Crestborne Good Doctors was a very popular topic. There was also someone making mischief behind the scenes, which pushed the tweet to the top three trends.It created a huge amount of discussion. At the same time, Fergus was sitting in a private room at a nightclub. There was raucous music and gyrating, pretty girls. He was surrounded by his drinking buddies. He was holding his phone with an evil smirk on his face, looking satisfied at how successful his scheme had been. He sent a message to a Twitter user. "Good work! Continue creating buzz for this, and make sure to tarnish Sebastian's name!"He then added, "Also, make sure to elevate the image of Whitney as an independent female CEO! I have a few photos here. One is of Whitney looking like a strong, independent woman, and the other is of Sebastian flirting around with other women after abandoni
The next morning, Sebastian rose early and started work. Suddenly, there was the loud roar of a car engine.A Porsche 911 drove up. Rosalie got out of the car. She was dressed in casual sportswear and looked youthful and attractive."What are you doing here?" Sebastian asked, his brow furrowed.Rosalie laughed. "I'm here because I want to see you about something.""What is it?" Sebastian asked. "The first round of the district competition is going to start next week. There will be people from Crestborne Good Doctors recording the entire thing. How are things going with you? Do you need me to help you arrange your order of appearance?"For this sort of competition, especially if it was a recording for a TV show, the order of appearance was very important.It would directly influence the marks given by the mentors. Sebastian didn't really mind. He was drawing a protective charm while fiddling with his mirror of symbols. He said absently, "It doesn't matter which order I a
Roberto frowned slightly. He opened his mouth and said, "The contest rules do not state that contestants aren't allowed to formulate their own prescription. "However, Ms. Griffin, if Sebastian insists on formulating his own description, then our mentors will be even more strict in their evaluation and scoring. "I hope that you can let Sebastian know about this, and that he won't be too self-assured. He shouldn't dream about becoming popular overnight."Traditional medicine emphasizes focused research. Don't try to attract attention and popularity like they do in the entertainment industry," he warned. This was sound advice from Roberto.Roberto approved of Sebastian's skills in medicine, but he didn't agree with what Sebastian was planning to do.It was very dangerous to formulate one's own prescription in a professional competition like this one. Firstly, the prescription had to be approved by the mentors. Secondly, the efficacy of the prescription had to be stronger than t
Colton's temper flared at once. He pointed at Sebastian and yelled, "Who do you think you are, you brat? Mr. Chapman is already showing you great respect by lowering himself to negotiate with you! Don't be so cocky!"Who do you think you're talking to?" Anton asked. "Mr. Chapman is the main person in charge of the Wind Dancers in Boren. He's a whole level higher than Reggie! Even the Wentworths have to show respect to Mr. Chapman. Who do you think you are?" With that, Anton laughed scornfully as he clasped his hands behind his back. Sebastian probably still hadn't realized what huge trouble he was in."These are the best conditions the Wind Dancers can offer, you brat. If you insist on having your own way, you cannot even begin to imagine what the consequences will be!" Ernest said as he waved behind him.An old man in his 70s walked over."Mr. Chapman!" The old greeted him respectfully. From his attitude, it was clear that Ernest was in a very high position in the Wind Dancers.
The manager of the Wind Dancers had more authority than even the head director of the local Martial Arts Court. Even Joaquin would have to treat him carefully, let alone Anton."That's the guy! The woman sitting beside him too. They're the one behind this!" Anton said, pointing at Sebastian and Nina. Ernest Chapman glanced at Sebastian. His gaze lingered on Nina for a moment, and when he saw that they both looked perfectly ordinary, he asked in confusion, "Was it really the two of them who did it?""Help, Mr. Chapman!"When Reggie saw that the Wind Dancer members had arrived, he stopped pretending to be dead and began to scream and wail as he pleaded with Ernest for help.Ernest glanced at the severely injured Reggie and shot a meaningful look at the two black-clad men behind him. "Mr. Chapman, his spinal cord is broken, and he has three broken ribs. One of the bones in his leg is also broken!" the two black-clad men reported once they had examined Reggie. Ernest narrowed his
End of Reggie's life? Sebastian really said that?Anton felt as if his soul had left him out of fright.Reggie was the representative that the Wind Dancers had sent to help the Wentworths solve their problem. If Sebastian killed him, the Wind Dancers would destroy the Wentworths!"How dare you kill a member of the Wind Dancers, Ballard? To tell you the truth, the Wind Dancers have a branch in Boren!" As he spoke, Anton grabbed his phone and called a mysterious number.This was getting too serious. The Wentworths couldn't afford to take the blame for this.Colton was so afraid that he began squeezing into the crowd. All he wanted now was to leave that place as soon as possible. It was far too dangerous!"Don't be in such a rush to leave, Mr. Lynch." Sebastian turned a cold gaze on Colton."Huh?" Colton jumped in fright and almost fell to his knees."Hello? This is Anton. Send someone over at once to the Aequor in Acorn City. That's right! Reggie has been beaten into a cripple,
At the sound of the Wind Dancers' name, the waiters turned pale with fright.The Wind Dancers were known for killing people without batting an eye. It was rumored that even the Martial Arts Court had to show the WInd Dancers respect. They were immensely influential. Killing someone was like nothing to them."Oh, the Wind Dancers?" Sebastian frowned slightly."What's the matter? Are you scared now?"Reggie noticed Sebastian's expression stiffening and mistakenly thought that the latter had been frightened by the name of the Wind Dancers. Reggie pulled up a chair and sat down beside Nina."You don't have to be too nervous," he said. "We have always acted righteously, and we aren't biased toward any party at all!"With that, he pulled out a contract and gave it to Sebastian. Sebastian frowned slightly. They were clearly well prepared. They'd even drawn up a contract!When he took it and scanned it, his expression darkened at once. It was written clearly in the document that Seb
Reggie felt that it would be a disaster if Sebastian found out they were here and escaped.He had finally gotten an opportunity to help the Wentworths. However, he couldn't just let things go because Sebastian had escaped.The procession arrived at the restaurant on the 18th floor, where over a dozen waiters and waitresses were fighting to serve Sebastian and Nina delicacies from Boren. "That's him!" Colton yelled, pointing at Sebastian with his eyes blazing with anger.The patrons in the restaurant all turned simultaneously in Colton's direction. They all broke out into cold sweats of fear when they saw Anton, Reggie, and two black-clad men standing at the elevator doors. Although Colton wasn't well-known, Anton was very famous in Boren. He was known for being a vicious person who always got his revenge. "Stop eating and pack your things. Let's go!""There's big trouble brewing this time. Let's go, hurry!"The diners at several of the tables were only halfway through their
Since Reggie had accepted money from Anton, he would have to work for him. Reggie had his own plans.Now, the Wind Dancers allowed their members to buy real estate, and all they had to do was to submit one-third of their profits from their personal assets. In other words, the new rule was giving the Wind Dancers' internal apprentices permission to go and take what they wanted. When they used the name of the Wind Dancers, no one would dare refuse them.However, they would need an appropriate reason to take things. Reggie had been thinking about it, and now the solution had turned up!The more he thought about it, the more pleased he became. The Aequor was a big, five-star hotel with an income of over 100 million annually. Wouldn't that mean that he had gotten himself a veritable goldmine?Once he had made up his mind, Reggie urged, 'Let's not waste any time so that he won't have time to escape!""Yes! That's right!"Anton nodded quickly and instructed the butler to get a helicop
"My name is Reggie Joston. I'm the leader of Swordfyre Hall in the Wind Dancers. Greetings, Mr. Anton!" Reggie bowed slightly to Anton, and he spoke confidently.The leader of Swordfyre Hall?Anton was secretly surprised. It appeared that he had misunderstood the Wind Dancers. Although Reggie was young, Swordfyre Hall was renowned throughout Boren.He had only made a call, but the Wind Dancers had sent someone who was a leader. Not only that, Reggie was the lead apprentice of the Wind Dancers' sect leader. They were showing the Wentworths plenty of respect.At that thought, Anton smiled quickly and said, "Please sit down, Reggie!"As he spoke, he waved a hand at the butler, gesturing for him to go and prepare tea. Once Reggie was seated, he asked in surprise, "Who would dare to bully the Wentworths when you have such a vast fortune? The messenger told me that you've been provoked by a young man named Sebastian Ballard?"Anton nodded angrily. Although the Lynches were nothing
Seeing the determination on Sebastian's face, Nina had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes. I will do as you say. However, please allow me to go with you to the entrance of Mount Quiln tomorrow morning before I return to Steinberg, my lord!"Sebastian thought for a moment before he nodded and said, "Alright!"Nina squeezed out a smile when Sebastian gave his permission.After all, she had entered Mount Quiln with Sebastian before. She knew that it was very dangerous on that mountain. Even with Duo as his companion, Sebastian was sure to come across many obstacles on his journey!At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Nina opened it, and when she saw who it was, she informed Sebastian, "My lord, it's Joaquin.""Let him in," Sebastian said impassively. Joaquin walked into Sebastian's room and put on a wide smile as he said ingratiatingly, "Mr. Ballard, you mentioned that you'll be going into the mountains early tomorrow morning. Do you need me to send Mr. Gabbard and the ot
Sebastian crooked a finger at Jayden, who had gone out of his mind with fear. He was both sobbing and laughing as he went up to Sebastian.Sebastian slapped him.Jayden jolted with the shock, and blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth."Mr. Ballard, I was wrong! Please have mercy on me. After all, I didn't make any major mistakes!" Jayden said, falling to his knees.He didn't want his flesh sliced off until he was a mere skeleton, which was what had happened to Kayden."That slap is a lesson to you. Why can't you just do business properly?" Sebastian asked, frowning slightly."I'll remember this! From now on, I'm going to turn over a new leaf!"Sebastian looked down at Jayden, then waved a hand at him. After all, Jayden hadn't committed any major crimes and didn't deserve to die.Jayden thanked Sebastian profusely before fleeing from the Aequor.Joaquin glanced at Brayden and Darla and said coldly, "Inspector Jefferson, aren't you going to thank Mr. Ballard for not kill
