"She's the Griffin heiress?" Whitney asked in disbelief as she watched Rosalie on stage.Whitney's mind spun. She hadn't expected Rosalie to be the Griffin heiress and the woman she practically worshiped!Mabel's eyes were as wide as saucers as she stammered, "Impossible! Ms. Sutton, how can that woman be the heiress of the Griffin family?"Mabel had even scolded Rosalie before this… They were doomed.Whitney spun to face Fergus and demanded, "Mr. Cobb, have you known the true identity of the Griffin heiress before this?"Fergus hurriedly explained, "No! You're mistaken! I only just found out and was even more shocked than you two! I can't believe that Sebastian is on such good terms with the Griffin heiress!"Whitney frowned again and turned her attention back to the stage. Rosalie's beauty shone under the bright lights and seemed to have the crowd in silent awe. However, Whitney could feel the annoyance bubble in her chest.She couldn't believe that Rosalie was the Griffin
Rosalie was already extremely breathtaking, but Whitney wouldn't be outdone. In an instant, with both of them on stage at the same time, the atmosphere of the entire event reached its peak."Pleased to meet you, Ms. Sutton," Rosalie greeted with a knowing grin as she offered her hand. Whitney shook her hand courteously, but her expression betrayed her true feelings.She flashed an awkward smile as she said, "Who would've thought that you're the heiress of the Griffins? Well, I guess I should've guessed it from the start."Rosalie's last name was Griffin, and she was also present at the medical conference banquet hosted by the Griffins.Besides, she was incredibly beautiful and elegant. Clearly, she was no ordinary person.Whitney should've connected the dots sooner. However, she was too blinded by her affection for Sebastian and could only see Rosalie as a potential love rival and nothing else.Or perhaps she just never thought that Sebastian would have connections with such we
Rosalie's smile was knowing as she turned her attention back to the crowd. Her voice rang loud and clear as she announced, "I would like to introduce the second partner of the Griffin family. To me, he's not just a mere partner. He's also the man who saved my grandfather and an important person to my family!"The crowd broke into a heated discussion, and everyone exchanged equally confused and curious looks.Partnering up with the Griffins was equivalent to holding immense power, but the crowd was more curious to see who the man who saved Mr. Griffin senior was.Whoever had saved him must be incredibly powerful and lucky!The discussion only got louder and more heated as everyone tried to guess who the mystery man was."Mr. Cobb, who do you think this man is? He must be quite powerful to be Mr. Griffin senior's savior," Mabel mumbled in awe.Fergus frowned as he replied darkly, "I have no idea."As he spoke, he turned his attention to Sebastian, sitting silently in a corner.
"I heard that Ms. Griffin likes him, so the partnership must just be an excuse for her to give him more power!""If that's the case, isn't he just a leech?"The whispers were filled with utter displeasure and disdain at Sebastian being named the second partner of the Griffins.All the guests present came from esteemed families. They despised men like Sebastian, who rose to power because they garnered the love and affection of a wealthy young woman.Mabel and Fergus, who were also in the crowd, fervently encouraged the whispers and fanned the flames.The crowd called him all sorts of names such as a parasite. It didn't take long for Sebastian's reputation to be dragged through the mud under the whispered obscenities of the crowd.Rosalie smiled and grabbed Sebastian's arm before she introduced him to the crowd, "Sebastian is an esteemed guest of my family and I hope everyone here treats him with nothing but respect!"After that, Rosalie turned to Whitney and raised her chin sligh
Mabel reeled from the force of Rosalie's slap. She suddenly came to the shocking realization that the woman in front of her was none other than the Griffin heiress!She held her cheek and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry Ms. Griffin. I-I just…"Just then, Whitney had also rushed over and apologized to Rosalie, "Ms. Griffin, I'm so sorry. I apologize on behalf of Ms. Lucero."Rosalie shot Whitney a frosty glare as she said coldly, "Ms. Sutton, though I've chosen you as a partner of the Griffins, I still have to ask you to keep a tighter leash on your employees."Whitney furrowed her brow but didn't say anything. Instead, she shot Mabel a death glare. Mabel could only bow her head silently as she stood to the side.After that, Rosalie turned and her frosty expression had already warmed immensely. Her expression only brightened further when she looked at Sebastian.Her gaze was filled with love and adoration as she exclaimed, "Let's go, Mr. Ballard. Let me introduce you to my fr
Was Sebastian trying to use Rosalie and the Griffin family to take Frostwave Corporation away from Whitney?Just when Whitney was struggling internally, a waiter came over and said, "Ms. Sutton, Ms. Griffin has asked for you."What? Whitney looked up and saw Rosalie standing under the light. She was indeed a very gorgeous woman.Whitney let out a huge breath and nodded. "Okay."With that, she walked over to Rosalie and smiled. "Ms. Griffin, not accompanying Sebastian today?""He's got some matters to deal with, so he left first." Rosalie chuckled.Whitney frowned slightly and asked, "So, what's the matter?""I just wanna know if you still love Sebastian," Rosalie asked with a meaningful smile.Whitney was stunned, and she frowned."May I know why you're asking me this?" Whitney chuckled to cover up the panic in her heart.Rosalie stared intensely at Whitney and said seriously, "Because I want to pursue him. Is this a good enough reason for you?"Whitney's heart dropped to
Sebastian's phone rang not long after he left the villa. It was a call from Whitney, which confused him.After a moment of hesitation, Sebastian still decided to answer the call.Instantly, he heard the sound of a violent collision, followed by Whitney's screams.Sebastian frowned, his steps halting as he stood in place.In an instant, the temperature dropped by ten degrees!Rosalie was walking behind Sebastian. Upon seeing him suddenly stop, her expression turned unusually grim. Nervously, she asked, "Mr. Ballard, what's wrong? Did something happen?"Sebastian's brow furrowed as he listened to the sounds coming from the phone. He could confirm it was the sound of a car collision. Especially that last bang, as it sounded like the car hit something.Then, he heard Whitney's weak cries for help and the sound of her struggling. "Let... let go of me..."Suddenly, he heard the sound of the phone being smashed. Then, a string of static. Whitney was in trouble!In a split second,
The call ended.Sebastian slammed on the gas pedal, and the Ferrari sped like a lightning bolt, heading straight for Mansion No. 33!…Mansion No. 33 was adorned with opulent red decor. Wesley sat in the most luxurious and extravagant private room. He sneered coldly at Whitney, who lay unconscious on the floor and was covered in blood. "She's quite a beauty. A fledgling too, perfect for becoming my stepping stone to break through the current realm."Wesley was excited and ordered, "Clean her up and give her a recovery pill. Send her to the room for me later." He wanted to use Whitney to threaten Sebastian to avenge his two disciples.Never in his wildest dreams did Wesley imagine that Whitney was a rare innate spiritual host, the perfect vessel. She was the ideal fledgling to assist him in his mastery and break through his current realm, ascending to the level of a grandmaster.For years, Wesley had been trapped in his current state, hovering on the brink of becoming a grandm
