The words seemed to explode in the hospital room. Dante and Crystal were both on the bed, and they looked delighted at her words. Sebastian was stunned. After a long moment, he spoke up. "Alright. I'll move out later." With that, he hung up. Whitney was equally stunned for a long time. She stood frozen where she was, and it took her ages to release her grip on her phone. She did not know why, but at that moment, her heart suddenly felt empty. It felt like something she had been anticipating for a long time had suddenly disappeared. This feeling upset Whitney. She felt like she had personally destroyed something very important to her. At that moment, she suddenly realized what she had done. She had just been speaking out of anger. If Sebastian left the shop, the two of them really would be completely separated in the future. The shop was the last thing that connected them. If this connection broke, she would never be able to find Sebastian again. Suddenly, Whitney rush
"Winnie, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Fergus asked with concern as he rushed up to her.Whitney looked up and wiped away her tears. She tried to hide it. "There was a speck of dust in my eye. What are you doing here?"She got up quickly.Fergus answered, "I was on a business trip when I heard from Mrs. Sutton that something almost happened to you. I rushed back to see you. Are you alright?""I'm fine." Whitney shook her head and smiled. Fergus breathed out slowly. He looked at the shop in confusion and said, "Why is it closed? Did you come to see Sebastian?"Whitney smiled bitterly and said, "I needed to talk to him about something.""What is it? Can I help?" Fergus asked.Whitney shook her head and said, "It's okay. I've got some work at the office, so I'll be heading back now.""Oh, okay. That's fine," Fergus said, nodding. Whitney was about to get in her car and leave when Fergus asked again, "Oh right, Whitney. Tonight is the medical conference downtown area selec
Sebastian frowned and said, "Familiarize myself with the venue? I don't think we need to do that. I just have to go onstage and refine my prescription properly.""No, no. I'm coming to pick you up. Just do as I say," Rosalie said forcefully.Sebastian could not refuse, so he answered, "Okay, then."After he hung up, Sebastian sent Rosalie the address.Robert smiled meaningfully. "Well, young man. You've got luck with the ladies, hmm? Was that the Griffin heiress?"Sebastian glared at him. Then he nodded and said, "Yes.""She's a pretty good choice! Your horoscopes match too. She's more of a water sign, which can curb the fire in your body." Robert laughed.Sebastian frowned and asked, "How do you know?""Is there anything that the Dragonstone Palace doesn't know? The Griffin heiress is a pretty good choice. But you're going to suffer. You've managed to develop feelings with two women at the same time," Robert reminded him.Sebastian's expression changed slightly. After a wh
Sebastian frowned and walked off the stage with Rosalie.Mabel scowled when she saw Sebastian walking off the stage, and she grumbled, "Oh. It's you."How was she so unlucky? What were the odds that she would meet that bastard here?"Why can't it be me?" Sebastian asked.Mabel was momentarily rendered speechless but regained her composure after she saw Rosalie behind him. Her smile was mocking, and her tone dripped with sarcasm as she said, "I was wondering how a piece of trash like you managed to end up on stage, but I see now it's because you have Ms. Griffin with you."Sebastian paid her no mind and flashed her a mild smile before turning to leave. He had no reason to explain himself to someone like her. However, before he could leave, he was stopped by Henrietta. Henrietta had stared silently at Sebastian throughout the interaction and suddenly extended an elegant hand to Sebastian with a smile, "Hello. I'm Henrietta Queen."Sebastian paused momentarily before he shook he
Though he didn't reject her outright, it was clear that he didn't wish to work with her at all.Mabel's expression soured, and she shot him a glare. "Are you sure?" she challenged."I'm sure," Sebastian replied seriously.With that, he turned to leave.Rosalie followed closely behind him, and she snickered, "I think Mabel's brain must be damaged."Sebastian chuckled in response but didn't say anything, and the two soon left.Mabel was practically stomping her feet in anger at Sebastian's rejection, and she grumbled, "That asshole! We'll see how high and mighty you are later!"Just then, Henrietta came down from the stage, and Mabel asked her worriedly, "How is it? Are you nervous? How confident are you in winning?"Henrietta was a woman of a few words, and she simply said, "Don't worry."Mabel flashed her a grin. "Alright then! I'm waiting for you to win first place in this competition then! Once you win, Frostwave Corporations will announce it on social media, solidifying you
All of Steinberg's citizens had been intrigued by the advertisements. As such, a lot of them had bought tickets to watch the competition live.The ones who hadn't been able to buy tickets resorted to watching the live broadcast instead. After all, the competition tonight was a program specifically created by the Good Crestborne production team!Besides, there were also a lot of people who were curious about traditional medicine.After a few days of teaser trailers, as well as advertisements, practically every platform started discussing the competition.At around 6:00 pm, Rosalie drove Sebastian to the competition venue. By some stroke of luck, they bumped into Whitney, Theresa, Mabel, and Crystal the second they got out of the car. Dante was not with them, probably because he was still in the hospital.When Whitney saw Rosalie and Sebastian together her expression darkened.Rosalie had chosen to dress quite provocatively for the competition. She wore a short, crimson dress wit
Besides, she would only end up hurting herself."Don't forget, Whit, Sebastian is here as a competitor tonight. So technically, the both of you are enemies," Theresa reminded her.Whitney frowned at that, and she had a complicated expression.After a while, she sighed and declared, "I know, but I still want to explain myself to him properly."Crystal panicked and tried to talk Whitney out of her decision, "Winnie! Don't do…""That's enough, Mom," Whitney interrupted. "I also want to ask him why he beat up Dante."After that, Whitney marched resolutely to Sebastian as she called out for him.Sebastian frowned when he heard her and turned to face her. "Yes, Ms. Sutton?" he asked coolly."I have something to talk to you about. Can we talk over there for a second," Whitney asked as she side-eyed Rosalie."Rosalie really was radiant tonight," she thought begrudgingly."There's no need. You can say what you need to say here. After all, we're all acquaintances here," Sebastian repli
Inside the venue, Fergus was already seated in the VIP seating area. When he saw Whitney's sour expression, he immediately got to his feet."Winnie, what's wrong? Why do you look so upset? Who bullied you?" he asked with a smile."Nothing happened," Whitney answered coldly.Crystal, who had been walking after Whitney, broke into a wide grin when she saw Fergus."Fergus! You're here!" she exclaimed."Mrs. Mendez," Fergus greeted courteously with a smile. After that, he turned to Whitney to say, "Winnie, I've already made arrangements for you.""Arrangements? What arrangements?" Whitney asked in confusion.Fergus straightened his suit as he explained proudly, "I've talked to the assistant director. They will give more screen time to Henry, so she'll get more recognition!"Besides, I've also told him to pan the camera to you. So, all you need to do is flash a smile and wave," he said with a smug grin, waiting for Whitney to compliment him.Whitney raised an eyebrow. She wasn't
