The slap puzzled Dante so much that he looked at Kevin with widened eyes. He then bowed and said, "Mr. Carlton Senior, I-I was just helping you to tie him up!"Dante's face was filled with horror. What was Kevin thinking? Why did he slap him for Sebastian?"That's up to me to decide, and it's none of your business! Scram!" Kevin roared as he vented his anger on Dante.Dante was so scared that he shivered and nodded profusely. "Alright, I will leave n-now…"The members of the Sutton family were also afraid. They looked at each other and didn't dare to walk forward.Kevin's face darkened as he looked at Sebastian and approached him.Whitney, who was standing behind Sebastian, went forward. She started to apologize to Kevin, "Mr. Carlton Senior, we're so sorry. This happened because of me. "If you want, you can take me away. Sebastian hit Ms. Carlton to avenge me. He didn't do it on purpose, so please show him mercy. Don't bring him away."Whitney continued, "I will bear the r
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Kevin walked toward the crying Whitney and lowered his head. "Ms. Sutton, I'm sorry."They were all stunned! What was happening? Why was Kevin apologizing to Whitney?The Sutton family members couldn't believe what they were witnessing.He was the head of the Sunway Carlton family. He was powerful and had a high status."Mr. Carlton Senior, what are you doing?" Edna asked.Kevin didn't even spare her a glance, still speaking to the surprised Whitney, "Ms. Sutton, I have investigated the whole reason for the incident. It's because of my useless grandson that this happened. "It's my daughter and her son's fault. Our family is to blame. Please forgive my daughter and grandson, if you will."Then, Kevin bowed once, which made everyone's jaw drop.Kevin apologized! What on Earth was going on?Whitney was stunned too. She didn't expect things to turn out this way.Kevin had actually apologized to her. "Mr. Carlton Senior… I-I am at fault too. My e
Whitney's words made everyone look at Sebastian.Right, Sebastian had beaten Lorraine to an extent that was worse than Whitney's condition. However, Kevin wasn't even mad or sought revenge. Instead, he came to apologize.Was Sebastian hiding something from them?"Sebastian, what's going on? You'd better explain!" Crystal shouted, gazing at him sharply. Sebastian frowned and said, "I've already said I would handle this issue. Since everything's fine now, I'll take my leave."Crystal's face changed. Was it really this brat who handled the matter?Whitney was also giving Sebastian a strange look. Just when she was about to ask more questions, Fergus, dressed in his suit and tie, rushed into the house.When he saw that everyone was there, he said loudly, "I have good news! About the issue between the Sutton family and the Sunway Carlton family, things will be fine soon! I asked my dad to use his connections to persuade them. Winnie, don't worry. I'm here now!"Fergus looked at Whi
"I told him!" Crystal said and scolded Whitney, "You ingrate! Why would you bear the responsibility for Sebastian? If I hadn't contacted Fergus and told him about this, would we all be safe now?"Crystal then turned to Sebastian. "And you! You should thank Fergus for his help, or the Sunway Carlton family would've taken you away! What are you waiting for? Thank him!"Everyone turned to look at Sebastian.He frowned. "Thank him? Are you so sure that it's all because of him?""Oh, come on! That's really funny! If it wasn't for Fergus, was it you then?" Crystal rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed. "If it weren't for Fergus, the Sutton family would have been done for long ago!""Exactly! Sebastian, if it weren't for Fergus stepping in, you hitting Lorraine would have been enough to get yourself punished a hundred times over!" Dante chimed in fiercely.Sebastian snorted. "You think Fergus is the savior of your family?"Sebastian couldn't understand at all. Were these people brain-dead?
Sebastian frowned as he looked at Whitney. After some time, he exhaled and said coldly, "Not me."Sebastian was tired. He didn't want to argue with these people anymore.The point was that he didn't want this whole issue to make Whitney develop any feelings or anticipation toward him. They were not meant together, and that was final.Upon hearing his words, Whitney's eyes dimmed and were replaced with disappointment."It's not him. It's really not him…" Whitney muttered to herself with teary eyes."I told you! It's not him, for sure! Do you believe me now?" Crystal shouted as she cast Sebastian an angry look. She continued, "Sebastian, you're finally honest for once! I knew it couldn't be you! If not for Fergus, we might have been deceived by you!"Dante chimed in and said, "That's right! Sebastian, are you trying to scam my sister into remarrying you again? In your dreams!"The rest of the Suttons started to voice their discontent as well. "Hpmh, it turns out that was his i
Whitney was furious too. With a cold voice, she asked, "Sebastian, why did you hit him?"Fergus helped her settle the matter, yet Sebastian treated him this way. How rude!Was Sebastian really jealous? Since when had he become like that?"Didn't you see that he started it first? Also, did I even do anything?" Sebastian's face darkened."He only grabbed your shoulder!" Whitney replied coldly.Sebastian raised an eyebrow and laughed mockingly. "So, you mean he grabbed my shoulder only, and as for me, I hit him back? I'm that horrible, huh?""Don't try to be unreasonable! Fergus helped our family solve the matter, yet you treated him this way! What do you want? If you're so capable, handle it yourself!"Sebastian frowned. How foolish. Whitney really thought Fergus was the one who handled it.With a cold expression, Sebastian said, "Since you trust him so much, marry him!"Everyone fell silent at his words.Whitney looked at Sebastian in disbelief, and her eyes welled up with t
Sebastian left the Sutton residence.As he stepped out of the house, Sebastian's expression became bewildered and helpless.Those words just now weren't his true intentions, but in order for Whitney to completely forget about him, he had to do it this way.Especially at the moment of leaving, seeing Whitney's disappointed gaze, Sebastian felt a sharp pain in his heart.But he knew Whitney didn't belong to him. She couldn't belong to him.He had many things to do. Just dealing with the Ballard family alone was enough for Sebastian.If Whitney stayed by his side or had any relationship with him, it would only bring her more trouble and danger."I'm sorry, your future shouldn't have anything to do with me." Sebastian sighed and blended into the crowd.At this moment, inside the Sutton residence, Whitney was crying so miserably that she seemed to have completely collapsed to the floor."Winnie, please don't cry. What's so great about Sebastian? He's a scum! Haven't you seen throug
Fergus was excited as he said, "I will think of a way, even if it means getting you the stars in the sky!"Whitney shook her head and said, "I don't need stars. I just want the wedding to be extremely grand. I want to tell someone that I have married well!""No problem! I promise I'll give you the best wedding ever! I'll invite all the big shots in Steinberg to attend our wedding!" Fergus replied excitedly.Whitney nodded. "I'm tired. I'm going to rest.""Do you need me to send you?" Fergus asked in concern."No. I want to be alone for now." Whitney then left the hall and went to her room.All the Suttons were delighted as they discussed the wedding in three days.Crystal watched Whitney's retreating figure, feeling a pang of guilt in her heart. How could she not know what her daughter was thinking? But it was clear that Sebastian wasn't the right match for Whitney. Fergus was the one Whitney deserved to marry.After some thought, Crystal followed Whitney and arrived at the d
