Vince's expression darkened and changed to one of suspicion.Meanwhile, Sebastian and Rosalie bore equally cold expressions as they stared silently back at him.Vince momentarily considered his options before finally steeling himself and shouting, "Officers! Arrest him!"Hearing that made Carl break into a knowing grin. "You are indeed a wise man, Chief Weist," Carl said. "Don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you once Mr. Targery arrives later!"As Carl spoke, the guards had begun to walk toward Sebastian to arrest him. However, they were stopped in their tracks by Vince's angry yell, "What are you doing?"He then jabbed a finger at Carl before he barked, "I told you to arrest him!"The officers, including Carl, were stunned.Carl's eyes were as wide as saucers as he glared at Vince."Chief! What is the meaning of this?" he demanded. "Are you trying to make an enemy out of Mr. Targery?"Instead of answering, Vince kicked Carl square in the chest, sending him sprawling
Everyone in the interrogation room was stunned into silence at the bold declaration.Who said that? Just who was brave enough to say that in front of Terrence himself?Was he insane? Did he have a death wish?Vince's expression had also darkened immeasurably. Things were about to get messy.Like the others, Carl was stunned by Sebastian's words. But he broke into a maniacal grin right after."Oh, that idiot is fucked," he thought smugly. He was basically asking to be killed by talking to Terrence like that!Rosalie's expression had also twisted into one of anxiety and worry. She knew full well the power and influence of the Targery family in Steinberg.Though they weren't as powerful or influential as her family in Janover, they were currently in Steinberg, not Janover.Hence, even though the Griffins were generally more powerful than the Targerys, they were on the Targerys' turf.If Eugene wanted to protect his grandson and make Sebastian an enemy, Rosalie couldn't save h
"This is for your grandfather! And this is for Steinberg! And this, well, it's just because I want to!" A slap accompanied each of Sebastian's exclamations. Terrence could taste the blood in his mouth as he lay on the ground. His gaze burned with unbridled rage as he glared defiantly at Sebastian."Mr… Mr. Targery…" Carl stammered as he rushed over to check on TerrenceOh, no. Terrence's handsome face was ruined. In fact, he might even look worse than Carl right now.After a long while, Terrence finally recovered from his shock. His cheeks burned. However, the stinging pain on his cheeks was nothing compared to the pain of getting his dignity trampled on in public.For 20 years now, he has been treated like a king in Steinberg. So, naturally, no one would ever so much as raise their voice at him.And yet this bastard had slapped him not once but multiple times. This would be the bastard's end!Terrence broke into a maniacal laugh as he screeched, "Bastard! I'm going to kill
The room fell into a dead silence.Everyone was rendered speechless as they watched Eugene treat Sebastian with respect.Was Eugene Targery, the head of the Steinberg Targery family really apologizing to Sebastian?They reeled in shock as they tried to comprehend what was going on.Carl seemed to be the most affected. He sat motionlessly on the ground with a pale expression.He knew that he was screwed. He wasn't going to make it out of this situation alive.Vince also looked confused, staring at Sebastian in disbelief.Who would've thought that Sebastian, who wasn't even in his 30s, could be important enough to garner the respect of Eugene himself?Rosalie also blinked in confusion at Sebastian. The more time she spent with him, the more mysterious she found him.Terrence was shell-shocked. His grandfather was practically a king in Steinberg!Even the leaders of Steinberg could be toppled with just a few words from his grandfather. So, seeing his grandfather apologize so sin
Fergus, who had been in Carl's office, paced anxiously across the room. He was anxious because he saw Vince arrive and then Eugene himself.Why would Eugene show up?Fergus was panicking. He had a sinking feeling that the situation had become more complicated than he had expected.He considered his options for a while before deciding that leaving was the best option.Fergus shot to his feet and rushed to the entrance, preparing to make a speedy exit. However, once he reached the door, it swung violently as it was kicked open.Fergus had unfortunately been on the other side of the door as it swung open, and it had slammed right in his face.As such, his nose was broken, and there was a steady stream of blood trickling from it."What the fuck…" Fergus gurgled through the pain. "Who the fuck?"He raised his head to glare at the person who had kicked the door open and locked eyes with Sebastian."Sebastian? Why are you here?" he demanded. "Aren't you supposed to be…" Fergus traile
Crystal and Dante rushed into the room alongside a few men."Fergus, what's wrong?" Crystal asked worriedly when she saw Fergus standing angrily on the balcony.Fergus clutched the bedsheets as he roared, "Is this what you mean when you say you'll keep an eye on her? Where is she?""I-I…" Crystal stammered. It was clear what had happened. Whitney had escaped again.Crystal's face was pale with fury as she grumbled, "How could she do this again?"She then turned to Dante and shouted, "What are you doing just standing there? Find her!""Y-Yes…" Dante stammered and left with a bunch of men to find Whitney.Meanwhile, Sebastian and Rosalie had returned to the convenience store and found Whitney leaning near the door."Why are you here?" Sebastian asked in confusion.Whitney raised her head, meeting his eyes. With no regard for Rosalie's presence, she ran into Sebastian's arms."Don't leave me, Sebastian! Let's get back together!" she sobbed.Her actions and her words made Seba
That was right. Whitney had kissed Sebastian in front of Rosalie.Sebastian felt his brain short circuit and he remained rooted to the spot.Whitney's kiss was domineering and laced with fury. In her anger, she bit his lip too hard, drawing blood.Sebastian hissed in pain, which brought him back to his senses. He quickly pushed Whitney away. "Are you insane?" he demanded.Whitney wiped her mouth before yelling, "I'm not insane! I love you! I want to get back together with you!"She demanded angrily, "Why can she be with you, but I can't? I know you love me! You do, don't you?"Her voice was tinged with desperation, and Sebastian frowned. For the first time in his life, he realized how nonsensical Whitney could be."No, don't be ridiculous. What we had ended the day you signed the divorce papers."Whitney ignored him and shook her head as she argued, "No! You're lying! I know you love me! If you don't love me, why did you save me from the Carltons?"She asked through tears, "
Rosalie stomped her feet angrily as she screeched, "How are you this obnoxious and shameless? Sebastian has already said that he doesn't love you! Why are you still here?"Whitney raised her chin defiantly as she replied, "He'll love me again. Don't worry about it. I'm staying here tonight whether you like it or not!"Rosalie was thoroughly annoyed. She turned to Sebastian, raising an eyebrow. "Well, say something!"Sebastian sighed and turned to Whitney. "It's getting late. Please go home.""No! I won't!" Whitney replied stubbornly.Just then, there was a flash of lightning followed by a crack of thunder before it started to pour."Great! Now, you can't make me leave!" Whitney said with a smile as she took a seat.Rosalie glared at the skies and stomped her feet angrily but could do nothing else but sit.Sebastian sighed in exasperation.Why couldn't it rain before Whitney arrived, or better yet, why can't it just rain after she leaves? Why did it have to rain right then? I
