"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
Wesley's face darkened, and he grinned menacingly. "Kid, you're quite bold! This world isn't as you perceive it. Those who are reckless are bound to meet their downfall! Kill him!"As he finished speaking, over a dozen men swiftly rushed out from behind Wesley, brandishing batons and roaring as they charged toward Sebastian.These men were all trained by Wesley. However, before they could get close to Sebastian, he had already made the first move.With a swift movement, a dark shadow flashed before their eyes. Then, Sebastian's fist landed squarely on the chest of one of the men.Before they could comprehend what had happened, the chest of the one struck collapsed, leaving a deep imprint of Sebastian's fist. He sprayed out a large amount of blood as he flew backward!Simultaneously, several men behind him were sent flying, crashing onto the ground.In the next moment, the men couldn't even get close to Sebastian before being blasted away by a shockwave. They sprawled on the groun
Even the green bricks on the floor cracked!Wesley clutched his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood."Mr. Mitchell!" The surrounding men exclaimed in shock, astonished. Wesley coughed violently, slamming his hand on the ground and soaring into the air before landing again.He glared coldly at Sebastian as he took out a dark pill from his pocket and swallowed it. "You've thoroughly angered me, boy! Today, I'll tear you apart!" he said coldly.With that, Wesley suddenly gathered his energy, causing his robes to billow.Wave after wave of energy erupted from Wesley's body, creating a ripple on the ground. The green bricks underfoot burst!Seeing this, the surrounding men wore expressions of horror."My goodness! Mr. Mitchell is unleashing his power!""So, this is Mr. Mitchell's strength? Truly terrifying!""That brat is doomed. He injured Mr. Mitchell, so he'll have to pay with his life."Amidst their discussion, Sebastian remained calm."Energy manipulation?" Sebasti
Sebastian frowned as he looked at Tony and said coldly, "Who are you?""You don't even know me, yet you dare to disrupt my affairs?" Tony chuckled menacingly, looking icy. "That old bastard Howard managed to find a greenhorn like you. Seems like he's getting desperate."Sebastian's expression changed immediately as he understood.This was the head of the Wright family from Janover, who had attempted to assassinate Howard several times."So, it's you," Sebastian said coldly.Tony sneered disdainfully, then continued, "Kid, if you can defeat Mr. Mitchell, you must be powerful. How about joining me? I can guarantee you wealth and prosperity. What do you say?"Sebastian's expression remained emotionless as he refused, "I'm sorry, but you're not worthy."Tony's face darkened instantly. "Kid, you're bold! You're the first person to speak to me like this. Aren't you worried you'll end up floating in the river tomorrow morning?" he threatened ominously.Sebastian remained indifferent.
