Crystal and Dante were in disbelief."Get back together?" Crystal exclaimed loudly. "Winnie, are you out of your mind? You want to marry this man again?""Yes, Mom. I've made up my mind," Whitney retorted.Crystal was furious. She slapped Whitney across the face. "Made up your mind? Remember this, you're my daughter, part of the Sutton family. Getting back together with this man is out of the question! We absolutely do not agree!""Right! Winnie, are you losing it? You wanna go down that road again? What's wrong with Fergus?" Dante chimed in.Was Whitney going insane? Or had Sebastian slipped her some kind of love potion?Getting back together with him? Unbelievable!Whitney covered her face. Her eyes brimmed with tears. "Mom, I've thought it through! I wanna marry Sebastian again! Nobody can stop me!""You! You're really driving me crazy!" Crystal was so angry that she held her hand against her chest, breathing heavily. "Whitney, if you marry this guy, I'll disown you! You'll
Rosalie rolled her eyes and looked at Sebastian with a smile. "I'll be heading back first. I'll drop by later to see you."With that, she inched closer and kissed him on the cheeks when he wasn't paying attention.Sebastian frowned. When he was about to say something, Rosalie ran out happily.He sighed helplessly. At least things were peaceful since all of them had left.However, Sebastian was still thinking about what Whitney had said.Marry him again? Was it really that easy?…When Whitney stepped into Frostwave Corporation, she immediately slipped into her role as CEO and started working hard.At noon, Fergus walked into her office with a gloomy expression."Whitney, you need to give me an explanation!" Fergus said coldly to her.Whitney frowned when she saw him. She let out a breath and said, "I'm sorry, Fergus, but I can't marry you.""Is it because of Sebastian?""Yes." "Fuck! I don't get it! How is he any better than me? Is he richer than me? Is he more powerful t
When Sebastian arrived at the hospital, he spotted Collin lying in bed."How are you feeling, Mr. Sutton Senior?" Sebastian asked as he approached.Collin, with a kind smile, greeted Sebastian. "I'm fine. What brings you here all of a sudden?""Just got a call saying you were seriously ill, so I rushed over."Collin frowned at his words. "I'm perfectly fine.""That's strange," Sebastian muttered, puzzled.Collin chuckled and said, "Probably a wrong number."Sebastian nodded, not dwelling on it further. He sat down and grinned. "Mr. Sutton Senior, let me check your pulse.""Sure," Collin said kindly, extending his hand.After a brief examination, Sebastian smiled and said, "Your health seems to be in good shape."Collin nodded in agreement, chuckling softly. They began chatting casually.Collin felt thirsty, so Sebastian quickly poured him a glass of water. After taking a few sips, he suddenly looked distressed and started to tremble. Then, he spat out blood."Mr. Sutton Sen
"Sebastian?" Whitney frowned, turning to look at Sebastian by the door. She asked, "What are you doing here?""I came to check on Mr. Sutton Senior," Sebastian replied truthfully.Whitney raised an eyebrow. "Dante said you poisoned him. What's going on?""Do you really think I would do such a thing?" Sebastian asked calmly in return.Whitney's expression shifted. When she was about to respond, Dante interjected, "Who else could it be if not him?"He pointed at Sebastian and said, "You're the only one here! Grandpa was fine this morning when Mom and I were here. But the moment you show up, he gets poisoned!"Sebastian's expression darkened. "I've already said it wasn't me who poisoned him. It's that glass…"He pointed toward the bedside table where the glass should have been, but to his shock, it was missing."What glass? There's no glass there! Stop trying to talk your way out of this!" Dante yelled.Crystal chimed in, "Sebastian, we don't want to hear your excuses or explana
Sebastian fell silent for a moment before speaking earnestly, "I can only tell you that I didn't poison him. No matter what I may do, I'd never harm him. After three years of marriage, you should know what I'm like."Whitney wiped her tears, feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. "Enough, stop talking. Leave, now!"Crystal couldn't stand it anymore. "Whitney, are you out of your mind? You're letting him go? He's the one who poisoned your grandfather! He needs to be arrested and prosecuted!""Right! Arrest him!" Dante chimed in.The rest of the Sutton family joined in the clamor, demanding Sebastian be apprehended and brought to justice."That's enough!" Whitney shouted, addressing the Suttons. "Let him go! Consider it as his repayment for his help to the Sutton family!"Upon hearing that, Crystal and the others couldn't argue further."Sebastian, get out!" Crystal snapped.Sebastian shook his head in resignation and glanced at Whitney. "If there's any problem with him, you can alw
Without much thought, Sebastian began strolling along the entire street. This street, known as Steinberg's busiest crystal and antique street, was bustling with vendors and shops lining both sides. One could even see people live-streaming their bargain hunts or participating in gemstone auctions using their phones.Moreover, many people spent their days here, shuttling between shops and vendors. They were all in search of a big win, hoping to strike it rich overnight. This phenomenon was most prevalent in the gemstone shops because of one industry—gambling on stones.In this industry, a stone worth a few thousand or tens of thousands could yield a gem worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. The potential for high returns came with equally high risks. Some people gambled away their entire fortunes overnight, while others became overnight millionaires.This industry required considerable expertise and knowledge, making it a risky endeavor.Sebastia
Facing Elijah's threat, Sebastian chuckled lightly. "So, now we're throwing law and order out the window in broad daylight?" he said sarcastically. "I bought this first and paid for it. Why should I give it to you? Even if you want it, you still need my consent." Elijah sneered. "Kid, it seems you won't back down until you're at death's door! In Steinberg, on this street, I get whatever I want! Law and order? I am the law and order here!" he declared arrogantly. He waved his hand and said, "Go, take it from him!"With that command, the burly bodyguard Sebastian had pushed away earlier stepped forward, cracking his knuckles and neck with a sinister smirk. "Kid, you were quite bold just now! Hand over the stone and apologize to Mr. Hilton. Otherwise, I'll break every bone in your body! You'll spend the rest of your life in bed!" he threatened.Facing the bodyguard's menacing threat, Sebastian remained calm. He weighed the stone in his hand and said, "If you want it, come and ge
"Who does he think he is to offend Mr. Hilton? This kid won't escape unscathed!" The crowd murmured, starting their discussion. Some were sympathetic, some regretful, and others gleeful at the prospect of Sebastian's misfortune.However, Sebastian remained calm and composed. He wore a faint smile. "It's okay. I refuse to believe that there's no justice left in this world."Seeing Sebastian's demeanor, the gemstone dealer could only shake his head helplessly. He prayed that the situation wouldn't escalate any further.Instead of leaving, Sebastian tossed the stone to the dealer and said, "Sir, please open it for me here.""Now?" The gemstone dealer was stunned, glancing at Sebastian and then at the furious Elijah.This kid was fearless. He actually wanted the stone to be opened right in front of Elijah."Yes," Sebastian replied calmly.Elijah became even more furious at his words. However, he immediately sneered, "What? You don't seriously think the gemstone you bought can yiel
