Walking out of the hospital, Whitney wore a puzzled and bewildered expression. Just now, Brad kept apologizing to her and even promised that once Louis woke up, he would personally come over to apologize to her. What was going on?Whitney was baffled. Sebastian was the one who had injured Louis, yet Brad didn't seem angry or upset at all. Instead, he was apologizing to her. Whitney shook her head in disbelief, feeling thoroughly confused.Moreover, during her conversation with Brad, Whitney sensed a hint of respect and fear toward Sebastian. Could the problem lie with Sebastian?No, Whitney needed to figure out what was really going on.With that thought in mind, Whitney took out her phone and dialed Sebastian's number.Sebastian and Rosalie were taking a stroll when Sebastian received Whitney's call. He furrowed his brows slightly."Ms. Sutton, it's quite late. What's the matter?" Sebastian asked calmly.Whitney cut to the chase. "Where are you?"Sebastian replied trut
"Hmph!" Whitney was so mad that she got back into her car and drove away.Sebastian heard the commotion at the door and quickly dumped Rosalie onto the sofa. Turning around, he saw Whitney leaving angrily in her car."Oh no, another misunderstanding," Sebastian thought to himself."It's not my fault, Mr. Ballard..." Rosalie shrugged innocently, also noticing Whitney's departure.Sebastian sighed heavily, feeling helpless. "Do you want to go back by yourself, or should I call someone to pick you up?""Do I look like I can drive with this?" Rosalie gestured toward her swollen ankle.Sebastian nodded in resignation. "I'll call someone to pick you up."Rosalie immediately suggested with a smile, "How about I stay here tonight?""Stay here?" Sebastian's voice rose several octaves. "Are you out of your mind?"Sebastian couldn't help but wonder what Rosalie was thinking. Two of them alone in a room for the night... It was a recipe for disaster."Duh. Look outside, it's late! Are y
"The third?" Whitney muttered with a frown.To be honest, she was impressed that Sebastian's face mask was able to rise to third place when he couldn't even market or promote it.Mabel noticed Whitney's change of expression and said, "Ms. Sutton, I know what you're thinking about. Don't go back to him because of his little company and some face masks. He isn't that great. He's just trying to suppress you and become your competitor.She added, "Also, think about his company name, Rosé Corporation! It's a company he opened with Rosalie Griffin! It's really obvious that he's trying to get her attention to gain more benefits when she falls for him!"Whitney's mood suddenly turned sour after hearing Mabel's words. She wondered if that was Sebastian's exact thoughts. Her brow furrowed, and she looked puzzled. "Mabel," Whitney said, "I don't think Sebastian is that kind of person."Mabel immediately jumped up and said, "Ms. Sutton, don't think he's a good man just because he saved you
What did Whitney see? Did she misunderstand anything? Should Sebastian call her and ask?After giving it some thought, Sebastian sighed and thought it was fine. Things had turned out this way, so it was pointless to explain."Ah!"Suddenly, he heard Rosalie scream from inside his bedroom. "What is it?" Sebastian was stunned and wanted to run there.What was wrong with this girl again?Before Sebastian could reach her, Rosalie ran in with a phone in her hand. She looked excited as she hugged Sebastian and exclaimed, "Number three! Third place!"Sebastian was confused. "What third place?"Wait a minute, what was this soft feeling?Sebastian was stunned. Looking down, he saw Rosalie hugging him without caring about her image. She was even wearing his shirt!Her full bosom and warm body suddenly aroused Sebastian.He tried his best to suppress his arousal as he pushed Rosalie away. With an awkward cough, he asked, "What's number three?"Rosalie suddenly felt shy and blushed. W
Sebastian? The assistant was stunned. "Ms. Lucero, is Sebastian the CEO's ex-husband?" he asked.Mabel glared at him and said, "Don't ask too many questions. Do you know what to say if Ms. Sutton asks about this?"The assistant nodded. "Of course. I'll just say nothing happened.""Okay, you may leave," Mabel said coldly.The assistant left her office, leaving the angry Mabel alone.Sebastian is such a jerk! How dare he talk arrogantly? Mabel scoffed at the thought that he wanted her to apologize for a chance to collaborate. Not a chance!…Meanwhile, Sebastian just woke up. He was checking the sales data on his phone. They were at number two now with 12 thousand sales, which was quite fast.Based on this progress, they might be at the top soon.He glanced at Frostwave Corporation's facial mask, which was still in first place. They had a whopping sales of 50 thousand, and it was still increasing.It was amazing, for sure. There was already an uproar in Steinberg's skincare
"Don't try to talk me out of it. I'm just using my own recipe," Sebastian said.Rosalie was helpless, and she nodded. "Alright then."Then, she said with a smile, "There's still time before the competition. What are you planning to do later?""Probably look around in the traditional medicine shops. I wanna get some medicine."After calculating the time, the poison in Sebastian's body might appear in the next two weeks. Before it happened, he wanted to concoct a specific pill to suppress the poison.Plus, he also wanted to gather some medicinal herbs and refine more Navitas pills, as well as other pills. After his recent breakthrough in strength, Sebastian felt confident enough to refine other pills as well. Even some of the martial arts and arcane arts taught to him by his masters could now be studied.Sebastian was someone who sought stability. Without reaching the corresponding level of strength, he wouldn't take risks. Now, with the fourth level of Energy Refining Techniqu
Mabel nodded and left the CEO's office. Returning to her own office, she scrutinized the sales data and noticed the explosive growth of Sebastian's Arctic Snow Mask. At this rate, it could actually surpass the company's facial mask. She couldn't allow it to happen. Absolutely not!After some careful consideration, Mabel tidied up her things and grabbed her bag. She was heading straight to Sebastian's small shop. Regardless, she had to give it a try. If necessary, she would take a more aggressive approach!Mabel arrived at the shop just as Sebastian and Rosalie were about to leave. When she saw Rosalie, her expression changed slightly. Sebastian also noticed Mabel getting out of her car and raised an eyebrow, teasingly saying, "Well, well, look who's here! What brings the esteemed Ms. Lucero down to my humble abode?"Mabel frowned and glanced at Sebastian before exchanging greetings with Rosalie. Then, she turned to Sebastian and coolly said, "Sebastian, there's something I n
"Let me tell you, you're still far from it!" Mabel said.Her words upset Rosalie, and she retorted, "Ms Lucero, don't you think that's a bit too much?"Mabel rolled her eyes at Rosalie. "Ms. Griffin, I'm not going to say anything much to you because you're part of the Griffin family. But I think I have the right to criticize Sebastian."She continued, "Also, just helping a fellow woman out, don't get too close to men like Sebastian. It's not worth it."Rosalie was furious and said, "That's none of your business."Mabel glanced at Rosalie, not wanting to argue further, then turned to Sebastian. "Think it over, Sebastian. By cooperating with us, you'll gain access to more promotional resources to help your company grow. "Besides, let's not forget, Ms. Sutton is your ex-wife. Do you really need to collaborate with others? No matter how you choose, Frostwave Corporation is your best option."However, Sebastian shook his head indifferently. "Goodbye, Ms. Lucero.""You!" Mabel's exp
