Whitney raised her eyebrows indifferently. "Send him two flower bouquets.""Bouquets? Are you serious, Ms. Sutton?" Mabel found it unbelievable. Her face immediately showed annoyance. Whitney turned around to look at her. "Just because we're divorced doesn't mean we have to avoid each other. We were together for three years, after all. Besides, his company is just across the street from ours. Not sending congratulatory flowers would make me seem petty. Just do as I say."With that, she sat down and began working on some documents. Mabel frowned and replied, "I'll see to it."Then, she turned and left.…At the entrance of Rosé Corporation, Rosalie and Sebastian got out of the car.The workers and employees Rosalie had hired for him were bustling about. They were all smiles and bowing with a greeting. "Ms. Griffin, Mr. Ballard."When Sebastian heard them addressing him as such, he felt a wave of emotions. It had been two years, right? Once again, he had become a CEO. For a
"Personally, I would love to help you, Mr. Cobb. But you know, these things need some arrangements," Wallace said. Fergus replied, "Mr. Jenkins, you don't have to worry. I understand. Once the job is done, I'll send you fifty local specialties and not a cent less!""Hahaha, Mr. Cobb, you do know how to get things done. Alright, I'll make the arrangements." Wallace chuckled. Fergus hung up the phone, and his expression turned sly and cold. "Sebastian," he muttered, "if your company can continue operating in Steinberg, my name might as well be destroyed!"With that, he made another call. He ordered two bouquets and prepared to head down and watch the show.…In the afternoon, at the entrance of Rosé Corporation, two rows of bouquets were arranged. Sebastian and Rosalie stood at the entrance. They were getting ready for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.Suddenly, Sebastian's phone rang. He saw that it was the chief director of Steinberg Pharma, Zeke Fisher. "Mr. Fisher, what's wrong
"Seal it up?" Sebastian's expression changed instantly. He asked, "We just opened it. Why would there be any illegal medication production?"The middle-aged man said condescendingly, "We received mass reports. This type of situation requires your cooperation with our investigation."As they spoke, several Steinberg Pharma employees approached the building with a sealing tape. They were getting ready to seal off the premises.Rosalie immediately stepped forward, displeased. She shouted, "For what reasons are you sealing off the building? What illegal productions? Where did we violate regulations?"The middle-aged man's expression turned dark. He said sternly, "I said you're involved in illegal productions, so you are! If you dare obstruct our law enforcement, I'll take you all in for questioning!"You there, seal the place. Anyone who dares to block our way will be taken away for questioning!"With that command, several employees moved forward. They pushed aside people who blocked
"Mr. Jenkins, I believe we should try to minimize the issue. Let's not seal up the building for now and allow him to conduct a self-inspection, or let Sebastian cooperate with your investigation first," Whitney said.She added, "You know better than anyone that sealing a business on the day it opens will have a bad impact."The reason Whitney was going through all this trouble was because Sebastian saved her at the bar last night. She didn't want to owe him any favors. Otherwise, she wouldn't have even batted an eye.Wallace frowned and glanced at Fergus, who winked at him. He immediately understood the silent message.He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Sutton. But I must lock the building today! Whether there's a misunderstanding or not, we'll figure it out after the investigation.""Mr. Jenkins…" Whitney felt anxious. However, Wallace completely ignored her. He turned to Sebastian and said coldly, "Sebastian, right? I'm officially announcing that your company has to b
Sebastian chuckled and said, "Whoever it is, you would know better than I do."This statement made Whitney enraged! "Sebastian, you scumbag!" she cursed him.Mabel rushed over, accusing him, "Sebastian, you're really disgusting and disappointing! How dare you suspect Ms. Sutton? She's trying so hard to help you. Have you lost all sense of decency?"Upon hearing her rebuttal, his eyes grew cold. He said in annoyance, "Who would be the least hopeful for me to start a company? Do I need to spell it out?""You… you're really thinking the worst of her!" Mabel scolded him.Sebastian couldn't be bothered to argue with them and turned away. Whitney's chest was heaving with anger, and her eyes were full of tears.She glared at him hatefully. "Sebastian, is this how you see me in your heart? Do you think I don't want you to start a company?" "Isn't that it?" Sebastian retorted. His tone was exactly the same as Whitney's earlier.She chuckled dryly—her laugh sounded bitter. "Okay, now
"I can let anyone open a company, even if they're an idiot! If I want to shut down someone's company, even if he was the biggest company in Steinberg, I can shut them down easily!"Fergus immediately flattered him, "That's right, Mr. Jenkins has the authority in Steinberg Pharma! Sebastian, if you dare hit me again and provoke Mr. Jenkins, let me tell you, you're done!"He added, "You'll never remove the barrier tape from your company! Of course, if you kneel and publicly beg us for mercy, we might consider letting you off the hook."Sebastian chuckled and said, "Then let's wait and see." With that, he took out his phone.When Wallace saw that, he sneered and said disdainfully, "What, you want to make a call to pull some strings? Let me tell you, it wouldn't work! No matter who you try to reach, they'll all redirect you to me!"He continued, "If you don't kneel and beg for mercy today, the building will be sealed off until you die!"As he finished speaking, Rosalie smiled fain
Upon hearing the angry shout, Wallace shuddered and quickly turned to look. When he saw Zeke walking over angrily, he felt a shiver down his spine.He rushed forward and said humbly, "Mr. Fisher, why are you here?"With a loud smack, Zeke slapped Wallace in the face. He scolded him, "You still have the nerve to ask why I came? What did you just say? It would be useless even if I came?"Zeke was furious! Wallace actually dared to seal off Sebastian's company! Wasn't he just causing trouble?Wallace covered his face, explaining aggrievedly, "Mr. Fisher, I… I misspoke in the heat of the moment. I hope you won't take offense. It's all because of this kid! He provoked me!"With another loud smack, Zeke slapped him again. He yelled angrily, "You insolent fool! How dare you address Dr. Ballard like that?"This time, Wallace was dumbfounded. What was going on? Who was Dr. Ballard? He watched as Zeke hurried over to Sebastian. He politely apologized, "Dr. Ballard, I'm really sorry. I di
Wallace trembled and frowned as he looked at Sebastian. Wallace inwardly cursed Sebastian and all his future generations but squeezed out a smile and said, "Mr. Ballard, look, this is all just a misunderstanding. I'll remove these tapes personally, alright?""That won't do at all." Rosalie crossed her arms over her chest and smiled. Wallace's eyes flickered. He saw that Sebastian was unmoved, so he clenched his teeth and bowed in apology. "Mr. Ballard, I was wrong. I was wrong, alright? I apologize for today's incident, and I'll remove the tapes. Please have mercy and let it go just this once."Zeke squeezed out a smile too and said, "Look Dr. Ballard, why don't we just forget about all this?""Forget about it?"Sebastian laughed coldly and said, "Mr. Fisher, I know he's your man. However, this won't be over unless Wallace kneels down if he wants to remove the tapes." "You—!" Wallace was furious. However, Zeke glared angrily at him and shouted, "What are you standing ther
