Dante sidled up and said, "That's right, Winnie! What Ms. Lucero said makes sense. Mom and I think so too."I mean, why did he have to get into a car accident right before your wedding? Not only that, he just had to crash into Shannon! Isn't it obvious that he did it on purpose?"He just wants to mess up your wedding. He wants to embarrass you and make you angry so that you'll keep thinking about him!"Crystal added, "Winnie, do you finally see what kind of person Sebastian is? He's not a good person! He knows you're getting married the day after tomorrow, and he's making trouble like this to embarrass you on purpose!"Whitney's eyes flashed under her sunglasses. She said coldly, "Alright, stop it. I get it. What about Shannon? What's the situation now?"Crystal said anxiously, "The police are still taking her statement."Whitney frowned. She looked back at Mabel and said, "Ms. Mabel, find out if we can use some connections to minimize the consequences of this incident."Mabel n
Alvin Janssen frowned and looked rather unhappy.He was the heir of the Janssen family in Janover and was very wealthy. He was also a passionate suitor of Rosalie's. He and Stephen Beckard were dubbed the "Janover Gentlemen". Stephen was the second son of the Janover Beckard family. They had been given the nickname because both of them were courting Rosalie, and they had fought over her many times. "A boy toy? How could that be? Rosalie is such a proud woman. She even turned up her nose at Mr. Janssen and Mr. Beckard. Would she go for a boy toy in a tiny city like Steinberg?" the woman in the blonde man's arms spoke up, looking disparaging. "Maybe Rosalie likes that kind of thing?" The blonde man laughed.Alvin frowned and glared at him. He said coldly, "Don't slander others without reason, especially Rosalie! Don't speak ill of her in front of me!"The blonde man was startled. His smile dropped at once, and he said formally, "I'm sorry, Mr. Janssen."Alvin snorted. He look
Alvin clearly wanted to tell Sebastian that he was not worthy of being friends with them.Rosalie looked very angry. She said grimly, "What are you saying, Alvin? Stop throwing your weight around and bullying Sebastian! If you keep doing that, I'll leave."Rosalie took Sebastian's hand and turned to leave.Alvin immediately became anxious. He stopped her and smiled, saying, "Rosalie, I was just joking. Don't take it so seriously."As he spoke, Alvin looked down and saw that Rosalie was holding Sebastian's hand. His eyelid twitched, and he felt rage rise up inside him!What right did Sebastian have to hold hands with Rosalie!"Hey man, since Rosalie brought you, we'll let you hang out with us." Alvin spoke loftily to Sebastian.He did not want to make Rosalie angry. Sebastian frowned slightly, looking very displeased.He was about to open his mouth to make a retort, but Rosalie tugged at his arm and said apologetically, "I'm sorry about Alvin. That's just what he's like. Don't
Alvin, Jason, and Cassandra's expressions changed slightly.Alvin scoffed and walked over to the course. He said coldly, "Let's have a competition, then."Jason and Cassandra looked disdainfully at Sebastian and followed Alvin.Sebastian fell into step behind them.Rosalie stamped her foot. She had no choice but to catch up to them.When they arrived on the course, Alvin rested his club on his shoulder and pointed at the flag of the hole in front of them. He said confidently, "Hit the ball into that hole within five strokes. How about it?"Alvin glanced at Sebastian and saw that the latter was still fiddling with his golf club. Alvin shook his head and laughed scornfully. Sebastian didn't look like he knew how to play at all."You don't look like you know how to play. How about ten strokes, then?" Alvin relaxed the rules. He was being very arrogant.Sebastian swung his golf club and looked over at the hole, which was several hundred feet away. He smiled and said, "Let's do it
Jason's expression twisted.Eat the ball?He couldn't do that!Sebastian scoffed at Jason's incredulous expression. "What now, are you going to go back on your word?"Jason blanched and he hesitated for a second before he stammered, "I…"However, Rosalie cut him off with a cold scoff. "Jason! A man shouldn't go back on their words! Don't make me think any less of you!" "I'm not fucking eating the ball!" Jason snapped indignantly. "I bet this bastard set me up just to humiliate me!" That was a golf ball!Who in the world would willingly eat a golf ball?He would end up in the hospital if he did!"You think I set you up? It seems like you're saying that you want to go back on your words, Mr. Wellington," Sebastian said with a mocking grin.Jason's eye twitched in annoyance at Sebastian's smug expression.He had planned to humiliate Sebastian but now he was the one getting humiliated!Just then, Alvin cleared his throat before he said, "Alright! We're all friends here to
After that, the five of them unhappily moved to the rest area.Alvin, Jason, and Cassandra sat together as they sipped their wine.Meanwhile, Sebastian sat with Rosalie on the other end.Cassandra was scrolling through her phone when she suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Oh, right Mr. Janssen. Your family business has to do with cosmetics right?""Have you heard of this viral face mask? The Artic Snow Mask?" she asked. "I heard that it's incredibly effective and a lot of my friends have recommended it to me!"Alvin nodded. "I've heard of it. Though Rosalie is the reason why I came to Steinberg, I'm also here because of that face mask.""My analyst has already analyzed that face mask and has deemed it as a face mask comparable to most of the high-end face masks that have been released thus far," he continued."I've heard of this face mask as well!" Jason chimed in. "My mom is using it as well! I heard that it managed to rank top two in sales in Steinberg without any
Everyone's jaw dropped at that and Alvin, Jason and Cassandra's expressions were of utter disbelief.What did Sebastian mean by that?Why did he need to approve?What did he mean?Was he saying that he was the owner of the Artic Snow Mask?Alvin frowned at Sebastian. "What do you mean by that? Are you the man behind the Artic Snow Mask?" "Yes," Sebastian replied mildly.Jason and Cassandra burst into mocking giggles at that."No way! You're the owner of the company behind the Artic Snow Mask?" Jason exclaimed in disbelief as he laughed boisterously.Cassandra also giggled as she asked, "Rosalie, your friend is hilarious. How could he even think to say something so outrageous?"She then turned to Sebastian before she said, "How could you be the owner of the company of Artic Snow Mask and still dress like that?"Sebastian remained stone-faced even as everyone else laughed at him.Rosalie opened her mouth to defend him but before she could say anything, Sebastian placed his h
To show off just how powerful he was, Alvin then turned to Scorpio and challenged, "Fight me!"Scorpio raised an eyebrow before he scoffed. "I admit you have some skill but that won't be enough for you to defeat me!"Scorpio then roared and stomped his foot, making spiritual energy roll off him in waves.After that, he swung a fist right at Alvin's face at the speed of light.Alvin didn't even have time to react and he was thrown backward.Alvin's face was stained with blood and he clutched his broken nose as he got back onto his feet."Fuck you! Don't you know martial arts etiquette?" he snarled as he glared at Scorpio.However, Alvin knew deep down that Scorpio was not an easy opponent."Come on then. Fight me!" Scorpio mocked, beckoning Alvin with the same hand gesture that he had used moments ago.Alvin felt his temper rise and he roared, "How dare you mock me! I'll give you a chance, if you beg for mercy, I'll let you live. If not, I'll attack and you'll definitely die!"
