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
"Whitney is a strong woman. I've only seen her three times. Every time I saw her from a distance, I felt a chilling aura.""Besides, don't forget her current status. She's Steinberg's most successful businesswoman with a net worth of ten billion! "Forgive me for being blunt, but you might be a burden in her eyes. It's a good choice to divorce her. You can stay with me in the future. I'll take care of you."With that, Tommy poured some alcohol for Sebastian.Sebastian chuckled and raised his glass. "Tommy, do you think power and status are that important?"Tommy laughed and replied, "I don't know. Only the big shots care about those things. I'm content with my life."Sebastian was momentarily stunned but laughed along."By the way, Sebastian, what are your plans for the future? Will you renovate the shop, or do you have other plans?" Tommy asked.Sebastian shook his head and said, "I don't know for now. I want to take a break."Tommy smiled and suggested, "Sebastian, I don't w
Mabel then handed a tablet to Whitney.Whitney's expression changed as she quickly took the tablet and glanced at it. Frowning, she asked, "Why are there so many negative comments about us?""It's all because of that jerk, Sebastian! He posted the acupuncture technique for treating certain illnesses in conjunction with the Goldcrow Pill on a forum. "Then, people started feeling skeptical about our company's promotion of the pill. The post was reposted on various platforms in less than half an hour.""Besides, a video of Sebastian treating Mr. Whitaker Senior at the estate was released.""Now, netizens are criticizing the Goldcrow Pill under the video. They say that our company produces harmful medicine!"Mabel explained angrily. Her words were filled with resentment towards Sebastian.Whitney quickly browsed through the comments and said, "Ask the Public Relations Department to deal with this immediately.""I've already informed them to do so," Mabel replied.Whitney's frown
"Really? Thank you very much, Mr. Cobb. Also, congratulations in advance on winning Ms. Sutton's heart."Being a secretary wasn't her ultimate goal.She wanted to become the queen of Steinburg's business world!Who wouldn't want to climb to the top?After hanging up the phone, Mabel glanced meaningfully at Whitney's office and exited the restroom.Meanwhile, Fergus sat on the sofa, surrounded by attractive girls. He held a cigar in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.Across from him sat a man with a fierce and dark complexion.He exuded a terrifying, murderous aura.There were stacks of banknotes on the table, totaling around two million dollars.Puffing on his cigar, Fergus wore a cold and sinister smile. "Zac, you did a good job. But what I wanted you to do was break his hands. Burning down his shop is not enough."Zac grinned, revealing an evil and sly smile. His voice was hoarse and low. "Mr. Cobb, don't you trust my ability? I will get things settled by tonigh
The two guys shook their heads vigorously when they heard that. They exclaimed, "No, no. We're not loyal.""That's great." Sebastian smiled and sat back down. He asked them, "So, who sent you?""Z-Zac ... It was Zac!"Anxious, one of them stuttered. He was afraid Sebastian would crush his knees if he didn't respond in time."Yes, yes. Zac sent us."Not to be outdone, the other guy eagerly added, "He offered to pay us 20 thousand dollars to chop off both your hands.""He wants to buy my hands for 20 thousand dollars?"Sebastian frowned and said coldly, "I don't recall offending this Zac you speak of."The two men shook their heads and blurted, "We don't know. We're simply doing our jobs. You have to ask Zac for the details.""Where is he?"A chilling gaze flashed across Sebastian's eyes as he asked."We have no idea. We never knew Zac's whereabouts. He contacts us through the phone," one of them replied.Sebastian nodded and extended his hand. "Give me your phone."The man
"Bastard, you arrived quite fast. Where are my men?"Zac questioned with a stern face.Sebastian approached him with his hands in his pockets. He glanced around the room, assessing the positions of Zac's underlings and the potential weapons available to them. It was only then that he sat before Zac. He crossed his legs and smiled faintly. "I tied them up."Zac slammed his palm on the table angrily, shouting, "Bastard! How dare you touch my men? Even if you're God, you won't walk out of here tonight!"As Zac finished his sentence, his fierce men surrounded Sebastian. They retrieved gleaming knives from their waists.Unfazed, Sebastian poured himself a drink, took a sip, and asked, "Zac, right? I don't recall us having any grievances. If I'm not mistaken, there's someone behind you.""I'll give you a chance. Tell me who it is. I can pretend nothing happened and leave.""Hahaha!"Hearing that, Zac laughed out loud. He stared at Sebastian disdainfully. "Bastard, did I hear you
