Mabel rushed after her and yelled, "Ms. Sutton, Ms. Sutton, listen to me! Actually, we don't have to be in such a hurry about this."Even if it's a lie, Sebastian is the one lying to him. You're divorced! Why do you care so much?" Mabel stomped her foot in dismay when Whitney ignored her and kept going.At the same time, in the private room on the second floor, Howard had just taken his seat again. He smiled at Sebastian. "Dr. Ballard, guess who was the person downstairs who wanted to talk to me about collaborating?"Sebastian frowned slightly. Then he shook his head and laughed. "I don't know."Howard said quickly, "Your ex-wife, Ms. Sutton of Frostwave Corporation."Whitney?Sebastian was startled. He looked doubtfully at Howard and asked, "Whitney?""Yes." Howard laughed. "Dr. Ballard, I have to say that your ex-wife is really very beautiful and also very elegant. You have excellent taste."Sebastian's brow wrinkled. He looked distracted.Whitney wanted to discuss a colla
Sebastian's expression darkened, and he laughed to himself.However, Whitney continued cuttingly, "Sebastian, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If you're using your superstitious tricks to deceive Mr. Tuffin, I advise you to go and apologize to him right now and explain everything. I'll help you take care of the rest." She spoke forcefully and was very domineering. It seemed that Whitney already assumed that Sebastian was a conman. Sebastian snorted, and there was a note of sarcasm and exasperation in his voice. "Ms. Sutton, am I that terrible in your eyes? Do you think that everything I do is just a scam?" Sebastian spoke slowly, and his tone was ice-cold. Whitney's brow furrowed, and she said, "What are you trying to say?""I want to tell you that I'm not deceiving anybody. If you don't believe me, we can ask Mr. Tuffin right now!""Ask him right now?"Whitney was furious, and she said angrily, "Sebastian, how long are you going to keep up this act? Why can't you
Whitney returned to the research department of Frostwave Corporation. Theresa was dressed in a white lab coat, examining the formula for the Goldcrow pill. "How's it going, Theresa? Did you really manage to modify it?" Whitney asked as she rushed inside. Theresa looked at the formula on the table and compared the modified formula on her computer with the experimental result data. She turned and proudly handed the data to Whitney. "There, have a look!"Whitney took the data and glanced through it. The expression on her face changed from doubt to excitement and joy!"You really managed to improve it?" Whitney shouted in shock, excitement dancing in her eyes. Theresa shrugged, looking proud and triumphant as she said, "It's nothing."Whitney grabbed her excitedly and shouted, "Thank you so much, Theresa! You're my lucky star!"Theresa hugged her back. Then, she laughed slyly and asked, "Well, since I did you such a big favor, how are you planning to thank me?"Whitney immedia
"The doctor left Steinberg six months ago and began traveling around. We have no way of finding him," Mabel said earnestly. Upon hearing her explanation, Theresa didn't pursue the subject further.Whitney looked meaningfully at Mabel, gesturing for her to step outside.Once in the rest area, Whitney asked her in confusion, "Mabel, why did you lie?"Mabel said seriously, "Ms. Sutton, are you planning on telling Ms. Livington that Sebastian gave us the formula?""Why not? The formula does belong to him," Whitney said, frowning. Mabel explained, "Ms. Sutton, don't forget that Ms. Livington is a medicine expert who returned from abroad. She's fixated on certain things. If she knew that Sebastian gave us the formula, who do you think she'll help when the time comes?"Whitney's heart missed a beat. She was shocked by Mabel's words.Mabel pressed on, "If Ms. Livington switches sides, Frostwave Corporation will have to face two enemies!"Whitney's expression darkened. She frowned an
"Birthday party?" Sebastian frowned slightly and apologized. "Ms. Griffin, I have some personal affairs to attend to tonight. I don't think I'll be able to make it."Rosalie immediately pulled on his arm and pouted. "Dr. Ballard, can't you just spend a little bit of time with me?" she pleaded. "I want to introduce you to my friends! Also, I'm going to give you a very special gift at my party.""You want to give me a gift?" Sebastian was rather surprised. Wasn't this her birthday party? Why was she giving him a gift?Rosalie tightened her hold on his arm and said sweetly, "Dr. Ballard, please just spend my birthday with me once! Okay?"Sebastian had no choice but to nod and agree. With that, Rosalie pulled Sebastian happily and said, "Let's go! I'm going to buy you some clothes and get you styled.""Buy clothes? Get me styled?"Sebastian was a little shocked. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "Forget it. I think I'm fine the way I am right now.""No, tonight's my birthd
Fergus was immediately charmed and said, "Let's go in.""Alright," Whitney answered.The three of them walked into the hall.They had just entered when sharp-eyed Mabel spotted Sebastian and Rosalie sitting in the lounge in the distance. "Hey, Ms. Sutton, isn't that Sebastian? He's here too?" Mabel was displeased. Whitney turned to look. She immediately noticed Sebastian and Rosalie laughing and talking together, and her expression darkened at once. She hadn't expected to meet Sebastian there. Seeing him with that woman made her even more upset. What a scumbag!He had clearly said he had no feelings for Rosalie, but Whitney had caught him with her multiple times. Men were all liars!Fergus frowned when he saw them and said coldly, "Hmph! We see this guy everywhere. Doesn't he know what kind of event this is? How dare he sneak in here? Let's go and have a look, Whitney!" He started walking toward Sebastian.Whitney was startled and was about to call Fergus back, but he
Everyone went quiet after she'd finished. Then, in the next second, there was a resounding slap. Rosalie had slapped Mabel! "I advise you to be more respectful. Otherwise, you'll die a wretched death!" she warned icily. Rosalie was undoubtedly the one with the upper hand at that moment.Mabel looked completely flabbergasted. She held her red and swollen cheek as she stammered, "Y-you hit me! Mr. Cobb, this bitch hit me!"Fergus frowned and looked at Rosalie in displeasure. He said coldly, "You're Rosalie Griffin, aren't you? Don't you think it's too much to hit someone in public? Besides, Ms. Lucero is the secretary of Frostwave Corporation! Slapping her is the same as insulting Ms. Sutton!"Fergus looked at Sebastian as he spoke. He had only said that to shift the blame to Sebastian. After all, Mabel was Whitney's secretary, and Rosalie was with Sebastian. It might ignite the rage in Whitney's heart. Rosalie tossed her head arrogantly. She didn't even want to bother with
"Oh my! It's Stephen, the second son of the Beckards! Let's go and say hello!" Fergus immediately recognized the man that everyone was surrounding. He hurriedly dragged Mabel and a reluctant Whitney over. Stephen was the second son of the Beckards of Janover. He was a typical rich playboy!His reputation in Janover wasn't that great, as he was a total Casanova. He was also an avid suitor of Rosalie!There were rumors that he had once chartered more than ten yachts on the Jeston River in Janover and filled them with the freshest roses in the city. He had done all that just to pursue Rosalie and to see her smile.However, it seemed as though the Griffin heiress didn't think much of Stephen. "Hello, Mr. Beckard." Fergus rushed up to him and greeted him politely. "Mr. Beckard," Mabel said, smiling. Whitney was frowning slightly when it was her turn. Fergus hurriedly said, "Whitney, this is Mr. Stephen Beckard. He's the second son of the Beckards of Janover" "Hello, Mr. Bec
