Chapter 17

Author: Wendell Mayhew
Whitney was thunderstruck as she exclaimed, "Canceled? What happened?"

"I don't know. I just heard the news. They claimed that our application was not in compliance with the proper procedures," Mabel reported.

"Try to find out what's going on."

Whitney was panicking.

The sudden loss of the guaranteed spot was a great blow to Frostwave Corporation!

Whitney went to great lengths to get it. She had to rely on a lot of her connections and resources, as well as spend a ton of money.

They had even prepared all the promotional activities related to their participation in the competition.

Even if they were kicked out now, it would be a loss of over ten million dollars!

Plus, without the guaranteed spot in the city-level competition, their promotions for the Goldcrow pill would not be as effective!

Mabel made calls to everyone she could think of, but no one knew what had happened.

"What should we do now, Ms. Sutton? It looks like it was the Griffin family's doing."

Whitney was frowni

    "Really?" Whitney exclaimed. She was already beside herself with worry.Fergus nodded and said confidently, "My dad has some connections with the Griffin family. As long as he puts in a word for you, I'm sure it won't be a problem to get you the guaranteed spot in the city-level competition.""Please do, Mr. Cobb. As long as you resolve this issue for me, I'll be forever indebted to you," Whitney said urgently as she clutched Fergus' arm.Fergus declared, "Of course. I'll call my dad right away."He walked off to the side. The call lasted quite some time, but when he came back, his expression was a little grim."How did it go, Mr. Cobb?" Whitney frantically asked.Fergus scratched his head awkwardly.His father had berated him and called him a lust-driven braggart who was blindly showing off in an attempt to woo a woman. He also refused to help out with getting a guaranteed spot in the city-level competition.Just then, Mabel got a call. When she answered it, she was so happy t

    Sebastian was the reason why Frostwave Corporation got a guaranteed spot in the city-level competition?The moment he said that, everyone froze in confusion and disbelief."You're so shameless, Sebastian. I can't believe you had the nerve to say that!" Mabel scoffed disdainfully.She eyed Sebastian in contempt.Fergus almost laughed until his sides hurt. "You sure know how to flatter yourself, Sebastian! You'll never be able to accomplish what I can get done with a single call! If that upsets you, well, here's a word of advice—suck it up!"Sebastian cocked an eyebrow and retorted with an icy gaze, "It's not always that easy to steal credit for something. Careful, or it might end up backfiring on you.""What do you mean by that, huh? Who else should get the credit, if not me? Don't tell me it's you!" Fergus growled in fury with a stormy expression.Mabel piped up, "You're just jealous, Sebastian! Mr. Cobb is way more capable than you are! Is it so hard for you to admit it?"Frow

    "Next, let's invite Frostwave Corporation to present their newest product, the Goldcrow pill! I'm sure everyone has heard about it. It's said to be a groundbreaking medicine that can treat all illnesses!"A round of applause, please, as we invite Ms. Whitney Sutton, the CEO of Frostwave Corporation, to come up on stage!"A round of applause rang out."It's our turn, Ms. Sutton," Mabel said in excitement.Whitney took a deep breath and stood up.She saw the spotlights on the stage and heard the thunderous applause.Tonight, she would be embarking on her first step to becoming the queen of Steinberg's business world.She would be officially bidding goodbye to the past and ushering in a new future.After exhaling, Whitney's gaze fell on Sebastian, who was still chatting with ease in the corner.Once again, she reminded herself that after tonight, she and Sebastian would belong to two entirely different worlds. She would tower far above him.She would become a household name in S

    Everyone in the hall was thunderstruck.In an instant, all eyes turned toward the corner where Sebastian sat.Their gazes varied between shock, doubt, fury, disdain, and revelry.Who was he?What gave him the nerve to say something like that during such an important occasion? Did he have a death wish?Even Rosalie shrank back timidly. She did not like the feeling of being stared at by so many people.She crept nearer to Sebastian and tugged on his shirt while muttering, "Watch what you say, Dr. Ballard. That's Mr. Whitaker Senior. He's from the state capital. Even my family, the Griffins, have to treat him with respect …"Meanwhile, Isabel, who was standing beside Nathan, immediately recognized Sebastian.Her eyes flickered in bewilderment.What was he doing here?She too, thought it was brave of him to say such a thing in front of Nathan.Isabel frowned as she tried to find a way to excuse Sebastian's actions.Meanwhile, after hearing what Sebastian said, Whitney was stunn

    Everyone in the hall started murmuring among themselves.When they heard Whitney mentioning the divorce, they realized that Sebastian was once her husband.They knew her husband. He was the one who founded Frostwave Corporation three years ago and became known as the talented entrepreneur who was the most capable young man in Steinberg.But two years ago, he started retreating from Steinberg's business world. No one ever spoke of him again. If Whitney had not brought it up, they would not have even recognized him.It was rumored that Sebastian, the previous CEO of Frostwave Corporation, became obsessed with the mystical arts. He had abandoned the company and started a small shop doing fortune telling and geomancy readings instead. The crowd figured the rumors were true after all.Most of the people present knew about Sebastian's past fame.But now, he seemed like an entirely different person.He was an aimless loser who spoke irresponsibly to sway the crowd.By now, everyone

    Everyone inside the hall fixed their eyes on Nathan. They wanted to see his reaction after eating the Goldcrow pill.Isabel also crouched down and asked in concern, "How do you feel, Grandpa?"Nathan smiled faintly and said, "I think it worked. My body feels a lot lighter, and my chest feels less stuffy. The persistent pain is gone too, and my mind feels clearer. The Goldcrow pill is indeed effective."As soon as he said that, all the guests became agitated!The Goldcrow pill was a miracle cure!Now that even Nathan had voiced his support for it, the pill would certainly have a huge impact on Steinberg's pharmaceutical industry!After hearing Nathan's words, Whitney's heart settled back in place. She exhaled in relief.Thanks to this event, the Goldcrow pill had made its mark!Whitney was starting to imagine what it would be like when Frostwave Corporation became the top pharmaceutical industry in Steinberg.Mabel was also thrilled. Her eyes were filled with pride."We did it

    Mabel hastily helped Whitney up from the floor as she cried out, "W-What should we do now Ms. Sutton? If something happens to Mr. Whitaker Senior, we're done for! It'll all be over for us …"Someone from the crowd cried out, "Sebastian was right …"Sebastian?Upon hearing his name, Whitney froze and stared out the entrance."Ms. Sutton, I'm sure Sebastian's behind this! He's the one who gave me the formula. He did it on purpose. He wants to harm you and the entire Frostwave Corporation!" Mabel declared in fury. After realizing the situation, she quickly shoved all the blame onto Sebastian without mentioning all of his repeated warnings."Is it really him?" Whitney said hesitantly.Based on her understanding of him, she thought that even though they were divorced, he would not do this to hurt her.She believed that even though he had become something of a loser in the last two years, he was still a decent person."Ms. Sutton, how can you still trust that bastard at a time like t

    Whitney froze briefly before letting out a bitter laugh and saying, "So, this is what you're truly after, isn't it?"Sebastian frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?""Hah. Now that things have come to this, why bother pretending? Didn't you plan all this just to humiliate me in front of all those influential people? Wasn't it just so that I would beg you for help and satisfy your disgusting selfishness?"Whitney continued to laugh bitterly as she wiped her tears away.She could not figure out why the man she had been with for three years would treat her like this.Sebastian could not stop himself from raising his brows.So, this was how she thought of him.Everything he had done for her the last three years—all of his efforts and contributions—had been for nothing!"Is that what you think of me?" Sebastian asked as he stared at Whitney with a serious gaze.Whitney did not reply, but her icy expression conveyed her answer.Sebastian snorted self-deprecatingly and shook

    As one of the eight main sects of Yutaria, the Northern Divine Swords could not tolerate the insults and slander of a young man who was barely out of puberty."I don't know who he is, and I'm not interested. If you want to fight, then hurry it up. I haven't even finished eating." Sebastian yawned impatiently.How cocky! He was being extremely arrogant!Wilfred's eyes were bulging with rage. He gritted his teeth as he stared at Sebastian. He was hoping that Sebastian would be chopped up into pieces by Ronaldo!Lexi's lips had turned purple with anger. Where did Sebastian get the confidence to brag like that?How could he be so cocky with Ronaldo? It was no wonder so many people wanted to kill him!"Young man, why don't you just admit your wrongdoings? That old Yutarian man seems pretty formidable!""Yeah, you should live to fight another day! We'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future. Just waiting for him to die will be an easy victory for you!""Young ma

    Caspian was actually very afraid. Although he did not know who Ronaldo was, even Wilfred was kneeling. One could imagine just how frightening Ronaldo must be.How could Sebastian still be chatting and laughing with Caspian as if nothing was happening?Lexi clenched her fists tightly. Even the Bachs had to kneel in front of Ronaldo. How could Sebastian speak to him in that tone?She wanted nothing more than for Ronaldo to kill Sebastian at once!"You're very cocky, young man!" Ronaldo narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Sebastian.However, he sensed that Sebastian was extremely dangerous—and the woman beside him felt just as threatening.Ronaldo even suspected that he would not be able to last more than one move from that woman!However, the young man's training was a mystery. No matter how much Ronaldo scrutinized him, Sebastian just seemed like an ordinary person who did not know any martial arts.His experience told him that people like that were usually the most dangerous

    Wilfred fell to his knees in fear.He was not embarrassed to cower before this man. After all, he was Ronaldo!He was a legend from the Culter Sect of Yutaria. Less than 100 people in Dramon were his equals.He could kill Wilfred in less than ten moves. How could Wilfred not be afraid?Ronaldo walked out and pointed at the wide hall. "Get out here this instant!" "I'm coming! I'm coming!" Wilfred smiled widely and crawled out to the great hall. When Caspian saw how Wilfred was debasing himself, he scoffed and asked Lexi, "Is that how hot-blooded the Bachs are? That was truly eye-opening.""You don't know anything, Caspian! Mr. Baye is just adapting to the situation!" Lexi shrieked."Do all the Bachs crawl on the ground to adapt?" Sebastian laughed scornfully."You bastard! I'm going to tell Mr. Baye what the two of you said later. Just wait! You're both going to die!" Lexi rushed out of the room angrily.Outside, the onlookers hadn't dispersed. They were all watching the sho

    "Hmph! You bastards are accomplices of those human traffickers! You deserve to die!" Wilfred strode over to one of the Yutarian youths and crushed three of his ribs with one foot. When Wilfred saw that the Yutarian youth had fainted from the pain, he went over smugly to the remaining youth and said, "If you don't want to end up like him, then kneel to me and apologize to the people of Dramon!"Wilfred looked righteous and felt a sense of accomplishment. Compared to Sebastian and Nina, he felt that he truly embodied what a Dramonian Warrior should be!"Idiot!" The Yutarian youths exploded in anger at once and swung their fists at Wilfred.They were no match for Wilfred at all, and both of them ended up on the floor in a puddle of their own blood.Several of the onlookers looked at Wilfred with gazes of admiration.Everyone hated human traffickers. Everyone had children, and no one wanted to have their child snatched away on the streets.These Yutarians were allegedly found to

    The surrounding onlookers all gave Wilfred a thumbs-up."Good slap! They need to be taught a lesson!""Beat these dogs up, old man!""Yeah! This is the territory of Dramon!"The onlookers were all cheering Wilfred on, and he grinned smugly.He glanced disdainfully at Sebastian and the others, who were still sitting inside. Those cowardly young people weren't even brave enough to teach a few Yutarian youths a lesson! What an embarrassment to Dramon!"Ms. Bach, I don't think that Mr. Weller is suitable to be your husband. What a coward! I think that a weakling like him is only suited to hanging out with a milksop like Sebastian!" Wilfred's lip curled, and he sneered.Lexi had been annoyed with Caspian already. Sebastian was clearly ignoring her existence, and Caspian had simply let him do so!Now, a Dramonian was being bullied right here in their own country by Yutarians, but Sebastian hadn't made a single peep. If Caspian became her husband, how could she hold her head up high

    Wilfred was just lucky that Nina hadn't had much of an appetite for the past few days. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have any bones left after what he had just said.Nina was spooning ice cream into her mouth. It was the first time she had eaten something so delicious.Although Nina had had a corporeal body before, she hadn't been able to eat at all. Even if she did eat, she couldn't taste anything.After using Sebastian's training technique, Nina could now eat and drink like a normal person. She just hadn't had the chance to taste all the delicious food in the world yet. "My lor—Sebastian, I never knew that ice cream tasted so good!" Nina said as she dug out a spoonful and fed to Sebastian.Sebastian could not let Nina refer to him as her lord when they were out, as it would make people misunderstand, so he had asked her to refer to him by his name. Sebastian tasted it and nodded. "Yes, this ice cream is pretty good."Nina giggled and said, "My saliva tastes good too."Sebasti

    The energy replenishing pills were sold out as soon as they were released. The buyers would then resell it on the black market at prices that were two or even five times higher. That meant that any distributor who signed a contract with Rosalie would become the suppliers for these resellers.If such a high-quality energy replenishing pill could be put on Rainpure Group's shelves, it would make it a corporation with great influence in both cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.Caspian's hands were trembling with excitement, and he had no time to bother with Lexi at all.At that moment, there was a series of knocks on the door. Before Caspian could get up or ask anything, the door opened, and an old man walked in."Mr. Baye!" Lexi looked as if she had just seen her savior. She got up quickly to greet him.Wilfred Baye was one of the Bachs' guardsmen. "Ms. Bach." Wilfred bowed very politely to Lexi. Before Caspian gave him permission to do so, he pulled up a chair and sat down.Caspian

    Lexi was from a family skilled in martial arts, and she was used to meeting prominent and influential figures. It didn't matter whether they were prominent figures in business or politics. They all had to show respect to the Bach family.While she was abroad, Lexi had seen for herself how strong the Warriors overseas were. Comparatively, a traditional medicine doctor like Sebastian seemed inconsequential to her. Caspian could just ask the Bachs for help if he wanted to become head of the Weller family. If the Bachs agreed, how could the Wellers possibly refuse?There was no need for Caspian to suck up to a traditional medicine doctor.Sebastian arrived at the private room at 8:00 pm on the dot. Caspian immediately got up to welcome him when he saw him. "Welcome, Mr. Ballard! I am honored to be able to have dinner with you!" he said, looking straight at Sebastian.Sebastian smiled lightly. "You're too kind, Mr. Weller. We're all friends here, and there's no need to be so for

    Caspian wasn't hesitating because of the division of profits. He was simply calculating his ultimate gains. After half a minute, Caspian's eyes gleamed all of a sudden, and he said, "Deal!"Rosalie and Whitney were startled at first, but then they both broke into excited grins."Firstly, I'd like to clarify something. Our company doesn't focus solely on Sartvale. Sartvale and its surrounding states are the ones we focus on managing. We put our efforts into maintaining a chunk of the market in the whole country, not just in the state of Sartvale. So…"Caspian paused before continuing, "We may not be able to do what Grandase Group did within Sartvale, so your masks may not be in every mall and supermarket.""We understand. As long as you're sincere in collaborating with us, we can let go of the market share in Sartvale," Rosalie said excitedly.Just the thought of getting into the national market was exciting. Who wouldn't be willing to give up something small for something bigger
