Whitney frowned and glanced at the snow lily on the table. Before she could say anything, Crystal hurriedly said with a smile, "Very well, Ms. Griffin, we'll give you the snow lily."Following suit, Dante chimed in with a forced smile, "Yes, yes, it's all yours."Rosalie chuckled lightly and headed toward the counter, reaching out to take the snow lily. However, Whitney suddenly raised her hand, her fair fingers pressing firmly on the box. With a hint of firmness in her tone, she said, "Ms. Griffin, I'm sorry, but Mr. Harmon has already sold the snow lily to us."In that fleeting moment, Whitney made a bold decision. She refused to let go! She refused to lose to Rosalie, especially not with Sebastian present!Upon hearing this, Rosalie's eyebrow raised in displeasure as she questioned, "Ms. Sutton, do you know what you're saying?"Crystal and Dante beside her grew anxious. Initially, they hadn't wanted to yield, but now that they knew Rosalie's identity, they dared not compete.
"Mr. Ballard, did I do something wrong?" Rosalie asked, sounding guilty. Sebastian chuckled. "No."Then, they left Lockwit Traditional Medicine after Rosalie bought the snow lily.…Whitney returned to the company, standing angrily by the floor-to-ceiling window as she glared at Rosé Corporation across the street. "Sebastian! You jerk!" she cursed under her breath. Crystal and Dante followed her in, both sitting on the sofa with sour expressions."Winnie, what's the deal with Ms. Griffin? How did she end up with that jerk, Sebastian?" Crystal asked, clearly perplexed.Dante, equally disgruntled, rubbed his cheek and muttered, "And I got slapped! Damn it! Just thinking about it makes me furious! She's just some lady from the Griffin family, what's with all the pretense!"Whitney turned toward them, glowering at Dante. "Could you tone it down a bit?"Dante grimaced. He looked frustrated as he asked, "Winnie, what's the deal with that useless guy? How did he end up with the G
Crystal frowned and asked, "You mean your sister gave Sebastian money or property?""Probably," Dante answered."Definitely not! Everything that is ours remains ours! How can that trash get anything?" Crystal was furious.Dante continued, "Also, I heard that Sebastian's small shop will turn into a medical research lab next month. The renovation fee cost a lot!""That small shop of his? How much can it be worth?" Crystal scoffed.Dante thought it over for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure about the specifics, but I've heard that Sebastian's shop isn't classified as commercial property. "It's part of an old residential area that was renovated. If it's torn down, it could probably be divided into three houses, plus he might get millions in compensation!""What? Three houses and millions of dollars?" Crystal was shocked.Dante quickly added, "Mom, Winnie must've helped with securing the shop, right? Then, basically, that shop is hers! Don't you think it's natural for us to tak
Upon hearing Sebastian's response and noting his demeanor, Crystal instantly frowned, clearly displeased. "What brings you two here? You don't welcome us?""Yeah! Trashtian! Don't forget, it was my sister who helped you secure this storefront! Can't we come and take a look?" Dante followed, his tone arrogant and confrontational.Sebastian frowned at their aggressive demeanor. His expression darkened as he asked, "What do you want from me?""Hey, Sebastian, we came all this way, and you're just going to make us stand at the door? You won't even invite us in for tea or something?" Crystal rebuked, clearly displeased.She noted his change since the divorce. Was this how he treated his former mother-in-law now?"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and invite us in!" Dante arrogantly demanded.Sebastian, feeling resigned, sighed and said, "Come in then."With that, Crystal and Dante relented. They snorted, held their heads high, and walked into the shop.After glancing around, Crysta
Their constant arrogant babbling attitude stunned Sebastian. At the same time, he was provoked.Did they come all the way just to lecture and warn him? Trying to make things hard for him? Sebastian didn't even talk badly about Whitney after the divorce, yet they blamed him for all the rumors about her!He tried his best to control his anger.At this time, Dante saw the change in Sebastian's expression and said coldly, "Why? Upset? Do you feel bad now? Remember who my sister is! She's the future queen of the business world in Steinberg. "Many men would like to pursue my sister, so who do you think you are? You didn't even feel grateful for having her and even fooled around. What the hell!"Sebastian's face darkened when he heard those words.What rotten luck did he have for him to bump into these two people today? They came just to lecture him!No matter how calm and nice Sebastian was, he was still infuriated by their words.He glared at Dante and said coldly, "Dante, you'd
When they heard Sebastian admit it, Crystal and Dante exchanged glances, grinning widely. "Fine. Since you've admitted it, you'll have no problem with me asking you for this shop, right?" Crystal grinned slyly. Dante added. "Did you hear us clearly, Sebastian? From now on, this shop is ours. You can move out now." Sebastian's expression turned even more grim when he heard this. Was this what they had come here for? They had been passive-aggressive to him. They had humiliated and threatened him. They weren't here to talk about his divorce with Whitney at all! They wanted the shop! Sebastian laughed self-deprecatingly. He felt that both mother and son were laughable. He had received no compensation at all in his divorce from Whitney. All he had left was this shop. Now they were here to try and take this shop for themselves? How shameless! Crystal and Dante's expressions changed when they saw the scornful smile on Sebastian's face. They knew that he was mocking them. How
Dante spoke roughly to Sebastian. Not only did he not let go, but he held Sebastian's collar more tightly. He even raised his fist to punch Sebastian in the face! If the punch had made contact, it would have knocked Sebastian unconscious. Crystal saw it but didn't try to stop him. All she did was look on coldly. In her eyes, Sebastian was a complete asshole. It was perfectly alright for her son to teach him a lesson! She felt that a punch was nothing. It would even be okay to injure him or cripple him. After all, he was just a good-for-nothing loser. However, the next thing that happened shocked Crystal. Sebastian raised his hand and grabbed Dante's wrist. Dante was surprised. He shouted angrily, "How dare you fight back?" He exerted his strength, but his fist remained firmly in place. He couldn't move an inch! Damn! Sebastian was surprisingly strong! "It's not my fault that you won't listen to good advice," Sebastian said coldly. His expression changed, and he exer
Dante nodded and said, "Okay, Mom."Not long after that, Whitney got a call from Crystal. She was at the Frostwave Corporation office, going through some documents. "What? Dante's arm is broken?" Whitney was shocked when she heard the news, especially when Crystal said that Sebastian was the one who had beat him up! "Alright, I'm coming over," she said urgently.Whitney knew Dante well. He was lazy, complacent, and a typical rich playboy. He would often end up making a mess of things, and he was arrogant. Their parents and grandfather had spoiled him. However, Whitney had no choice. She only had one little brother, and the entire family doted on him. She had lectured him several times, but it was no use.Whitney just hoped that her brother would stay out of trouble. She didn't mind if he spent some money. But now, according to Crystal, Sebastian had broken Dante's arm… Whitney was confused! Her first reaction was disbelief.She knew Sebastian well, and she knew that he
