"Huh, isn't that just a charlatan?" Howard shook his head, sneering sarcastically. He felt that Nathan had made a misjudgment this time. A charlatan would not make it to high society. However, Sebastian calmly spoke up, "Mr. Tuffin, your forehead is darkened, and your eyebrows are sinking. I fear that you'll be facing an imminent catastrophe, even a fatal one." Sebastian had observed Howard's facial features earlier, and it was concerning. Even the slightest misfortune could pose a threat to his life. "Nonsense! Utterly absurd! So you're really capable of fortune-telling?" Howard exploded in anger. He slammed the table and shouted, "Sebastian, I know you want to prove yourself, but overdoing it will backfire! "Talking about darkened foreheads and catastrophes is sheer nonsense!" "Mr. Tuffin, I'm just telling the truth, and everything I said has a scientific basis. It would be best for you to stay here tonight and strengthen the security around you. "Also, it's advis
But now, it was too late for Howard to regret. A cold, scarred face appeared at the broken window, grinning menacingly at Howard. "Mr. Tuffin, it's been a while." "You're from the Wagner family!" Howard's eyes widened. He immediately recognized the person before him.The man was his archenemy. He and the rest were the underground thugs of the Wagner family. He hadn't expected them to trace him all the way to Steinberg. "What do you want? I'm Howard from the Tuffin family!" Howard was furious, but deep down, fear consumed him more. The man sneered coldly. "I want you dead." With those words, he pulled out a gun from his pocket and pressed it against Howard's forehead."Stop!" All of a sudden, a furious shout rang out. The scarred face turned to see a man and a woman walking over. It was none other than Sebastian and Isabel. Initially, Sebastian didn't want to get involved in this matter. But, due to Isabel's insistence that Howard likely possessed the medicinal
A dozen silver needles shot out.The henchmen instantly fell to the ground after getting hit by the needles. Clutching their arms, they cried out miserably and rolled around in pain.Seeing this scene, Boris panicked. Who exactly was this guy?He was ruthless!It was terrifying!"Damn! You're looking for death!"Furious, Boris turned around and aimed his gun directly at Sebastian. He then sneered sinisterly, "Kid, I don't believe you can survive under my gun!"However, Sebastian remained fearless. He stared indifferently at Boris before saying solemnly, "You might hit me if I was 10 meters away. But you can't hurt me within 10 meters.""Bullshit! Go to hell!"Boris pulled the trigger out of rage!"Bang!"A gunshot rang out.Shocked, Isabel covered her mouth and shouted, "Dr. Ballard, get out of the way!"But it was too late.Flames spew out from the muzzle.Yet, that bullet seemed to have become ten times slower in Sebastian's eyes.Under the horrified gazes of Isab
Howard's hair stood on end when he heard that. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Dr. Ballard, please save me. I'm willing to do anything as long as you can help me."Isabel added, "Uncle Howard, Dr. Ballard only needs a few medicinal herbs.""Dr. Ballard, I will give you everything the Tuffins have! All I hope for is for you to save me!"Howard seemed anxious. He was utterly frightened.He would have died without Sebastian tonight!Smiling faintly, Sebastian said, "Mr. Tuffin, please get up. I can help you resolve your issue if you can find three medicinal herbs for me."Upon hearing that, Howard hurriedly stood up and said excitedly, "Please go ahead, Dr. Ballard."Sebastian replied, "I need the Angel Hyssop, Fade Dill, and Water Lavender. The older they are, the better."Howard was stunned. He looked somewhat doubtful. "Dr. Ballard, the Tuffins have Angel Hyssop and Fade Dill. They're both at least a hundred years old. But I don't think I've heard of Water Lavender ..."
"Hello."Isabel smiled politely and said, "I won't disturb you guys."After saying that, Isabel left.Only then did Sebastian ask, "Were you waiting for me?""Yes." Rosalie smiled sweetly with her hands behind her back.She looked innocent and cute yet mature.She was completely different from the assertive woman she was back in the lounge earlier."By the way, Dr. Ballard, there's a yacht party tomorrow night organized by some local scions. I wonder if you're interested in attending?" Rosalie blinked her beautiful eyes as she asked.Frowning, Sebastian contemplated briefly.He was free tomorrow. He could attend the party and take a break after the divorce."Sure." Sebastian nodded."Really? That's great." Rosalie exclaimed in delight and jumped happily.Her chest bounced along, making Sebastian quickly shift his gaze.She had quite a great figure.Then, Rosalie escorted Sebastian out of the estate.Once outside, Rosalie thought of something and asked, "Dr. Ballard, you
Sebastian was stunned. That was another trick question.What was happening tonight? Why did these women have to ask such questions?After hesitating slightly, Sebastian scoffed. "Ms. Sutton, are you kidding me?""We're divorced. Even if you're in danger, it's not my duty to save you.""I'm sure Fergus would be more than happy to do it."Upon hearing his words, Whitney looked away, and her eyes turned red. She then stared intently at Sebastian with glistening tears as if trying to see if this man was lying.Unfazed, Sebastian locked his eyes with hers.After a moment, Whitney chuckled self-deprecatingly. She turned around and secretly wiped her tears. Smiling, she said, "I got it."Then, she took a deep breath, faced Sebastian, and flashed him a warm smile. She extended her fair hand to him. "Sebastian, let's get to know each other again. I'm Whitney from Frostwave Corporation."Feeling helpless, Sebastian frowned. He shook her hand and felt the coldness."I'm Sebastian,
Mabel glanced at Whitney and asked, "Ms. Sutton, there's a yacht party tomorrow night organized by some scions in Steinberg. Mr. Cobb wanted me to ask if you'd like to join.""A yacht party? No, I don't like that kind of occasion." Whitney shook her head and declined.However, Mabel suggested, "Ms. Sutton, this is a great opportunity for you to build connections. Getting to know more people would be beneficial for you and the company's development.""Hmm ..." Whitney hesitated.Seeing this, Mabel quickly added, "Come on, Ms. Sutton. I'll accept Mr. Cobb's invitation on your behalf."Before Whitney could respond, Mabel cheerfully spoke into her phone. "Mr. Cobb, we'll be there tomorrow. Thank you in advance."Then, she hung up. After that, she glanced at Sebastian in the rearview mirror and mocked him. "Look, this is the difference between humans. Some people are simply useless!"Sebastian frowned and retorted, "It's just a yacht party.""You're clueless. This is a big event
"Sebastian, be careful!" Standing at the entrance, Tommy and several neighbors shouted in concern.Whitney stood rooted to the ground. She stared intently at Sebastian as he rushed inside.For a moment, she seemed to see the Sebastian she knew from three years ago, who was willing to do anything for her.Mabel exited the car, too. She sneered disdainfully. "It's just a run-down shop. Is it really necessary?"Whitney raised an eyebrow and questioned her coldly, "Did you and Fergus do this? You went too far!""Ms. Sutton, do you feel sorry for him? Don't forget. Both of you are already divorced! He almost got you and Frostwave Corporation into trouble today!"Burning down his little shop is too light of a punishment. Just wait. He'll come begging for our help without the shop."Mabel smirked triumphantly.Whitney scoffed and was about to run into the shop.Mabel hurriedly grabbed her. She was puzzled. "Ms. Sutton, what are you doing?""I'll go take a look," Whitney replied.Ma
