"My grandfather is Nathan Whitaker, the commander of Sunway's military!" Isabel's expression turned cold, and she spoke in a cold voice.Upon hearing that she was Nathan's granddaughter, several officers looked hesitant and stepped aside, too afraid to continue stopping Sebastian."The victim is in a very critical condition. Who's going to take responsibility if there are any problems?" Mark used his trump card."I will take responsibility for him," Sebastian said sternly. "What will you be responsible for him with? This is a matter of life and death!" Mark yelled angrily."You should at least let this young man try," Marissa said very calmly."Who the hell are you?" Mark was furious. Why were all these beautiful women ganging up on him, seemingly on purpose?"Robin Keller is my husband, and he's part of Sartvale's Medical Research Association. If you have any doubts about this young doctor, you may call my husband to vouch for him!" Marissa glared at Mark.Upon hearing Robin'
The Northmans would only participate in this project as a shareholder. After all, the formula of the new anti-cancer drug belonged to Sebastian, and it would be more appropriate for Arctic Snow Group to be the representative in the collaboration with Astrocorp."Alright. I'll get back right now," Sebastian said before hanging up."Mr. Ballard, if you have urgent business to attend to, go ahead. Isabel and I will come and visit you tomorrow morning," Marissa said with a smile.Sebastian and Isabel chatted for a while before he rushed toward the Moonlyte Club. Astrocorp was a large national enterprise, and it was one of the few companies in the pharmaceutical industry which did both wholesale and retail. Most importantly, they had a share in foreign markets.When Zane saw Sebastian push the door open and enter the office, he stepped forward and stopped him before saying in a small voice, "Seb, I have to warn you. The person that Astrocorp has sent to sign the contract with us is no
The elevator shot up to the 18th floor. After walking out of the elevator, the lights immediately dimmed. This did not look like the kind of place to discuss business.In Room 1801, Maddox was together with over a dozen local Steinberg dealers. All of them had women with thick makeup on in their arms as they talked and laughed together.There was an empty seat next to him, and it had clearly been left deliberately for Rosalie.He had chosen to discuss their deal at this location so that he could get Rosalie drunk and have his way with her after that.Maddox couldn't help licking his lips when he thought of Rosalie's gorgeous figure.Before coming to Steinberg, Jace had sent someone to see him. He had also told Maddox about the feud between the Beckards and Sebastian. Maddox was only a manager at Astrocorp. He had never attracted the attention of a prestigious family from Janover like the Beckards.When he heard the news of Stephen being turned into a cripple by Sebastian, Maddo
Rosalie handed the glass to Sebastian.Sebastian swallowed. When had he agreed to be her boyfriend?Besides, if he drank that glass of brandy, he'd be drunk too. "Do you bring your boyfriend along to discuss business?" Maddox scoffed as he glanced at Sebastian."It's alright. You can go ahead with your discussion. Don't mind me." Sebastian took the glass and set it aside without drinking it. "I happened to bump into my boyfriend at the door, so I asked him to come along," Rosalie lied. "Oh? What's your name? Where do you work?" Maddox asked persistently as he sat down, chuckling. "My name is Sebastian Ballard. I'm currently just a consultant at Arctic Snow Group," Sebastian said and bowed slightly to them all. "Oh, I see that we're dealing with a business run by a couple here. It's not the kind where the woman wears the pants, is it?" the tall and thin men said sarcastically in a provocative manner. "I'm not interested in running a business at all. We all have our talent
"As long as nobody dies, attack when we have to," Sebastian said to Gavin in a very low voice. Gavin slapped Maddox at once. "You—how dare you slap me?" Maddox had only been focusing on Sebastian and Rosalie. He hadn't noticed Gavin at all."He's licensed to hit people. It's all done according to the law," Sebastian said, pointing at Gavin. "Well, Rosalie! I'll give you one last chance. If you agree to my request now, you'll still make it in time," Maddox said angrily. "Gav, our safety depends on you," Sebastian said, pretending to look scared.Gavin took a deep breath. He was exasperated at Sebastian pretending to be some innocent, besotted lover boy. "Sebastian, don't let Gavin blow this up. The launch of our new anti-cancer drug in Yarroland depends on whether or not this collaboration will happen," Rosalie reminded him in a low voice.She hadn't expected Maddox to ask for something like that. She had planned to stall and call the police on the pretext of going to the t
"M-Ms. Griffin, let's… let's talk." Maddox had gone pale with fear, and sweat was beading on his forehead.The drug suppliers who had humiliated Sebastian with Maddox didn't even dare to breathe. They looked fearfully at Gavin and Sebastian."Is he really such a good fighter?" Rosalie looked at Gavin in slight surprise.It seemed that Sebastian had foresight. It had been right to bring Gavin along. Sebastian smiled slightly and stood up. He walked slowly over to Maddox and said, "Do you know, I really didn't want to hurt you, but you really don't know how to respect others.""M-Mr. Sebastian… no, Mr. Ballard, I…" Maddox only got halfway through his sentence when Sebastian cut him off with a slap in the face."Who did you say you wanted to kill?" Sebastian asked, looking icily at Maddox. "N-No, I… I was talking nonsense." Maddox was incoherent with fear. "Seb, I think we should forget it," Gavin said automatically. After all, Maddox was different from those thugs, and Rosalie
All Maddox would have to do was send the video to headquarters. Not only would the collaboration between Arctic Snow Group and Astrocorp be over, the latter would even blacklist all Arctic Snow Group's products.Maddox pulled out his phone and sent Jace a message at once. He then said to his confidantes, "I'm not a petty guy, but Ballard just went too far! How about this? You send the video of what happened just now over to headquarters. We'll just wait in Steinberg for good news from them.""Alright, I'll do it right now." The tall and thin man got up quickly and headed outside. …Meanwhile, after Rosalie had sent Gavin back to the Moonlyte Club, she started the engine once more and headed right for the Coltranes' mall."I have clothes, don't I? Why do I need to buy more?" Sebastian said, looking at the Ytalian hand-made suit he was wearing. They had just bought this a few days ago! Its workmanship and material would be more than appropriate for the event."This is a busine
"Jaxon Lark?" Rosalie turned and looked at the man in the blue suit in surprise."It's been a while, Rosalie," Jaxon said. He stretched out his arms, as if he was getting ready to give her a hug."It's been a while indeed." Rosalie hastily stuck her hand out to shake hands with him and maintain a safe distance.Jaxon had no choice but to shake hands with her awkwardly."Aren't you doing business abroad, Mr. Lark? What are you doing in Sartvale?" Rosalie asked, frowning.The Larks were involved in international trade and the supermarket business. They were wealthy even by Janover standards. Jaxon had had a crush on Rosalie since middle school. He had been sent abroad to study in his second year of high school, and ended up staying on to build his career there."My family asked me to come back and help out. We're planning to open a big mall in Sartvale soon, as well as a few franchised supermarkets, so I gave up the opportunities I had there and came back to help," Jaxon said rat
