Whitney was hesitant."Since you're not making any decision, then I will decide for you. Someone, catch Sebastian!" Edna said angrily.This matter involved the Sutton family and Frostwave Corporation, so Edna had to make a choice."Got it!" The few bodyguards outside of the meeting room responded, then left.Whitney was scared, and she shouted, "Wait!"Instantly, everyone turned their eyes to her.Whitney took a deep breath and held her fist. "I'll go. Don't bring trouble to Sebastian anymore. I'll handle this issue!"Edna scoffed and left the meeting room. Then, the higher-ups also left. However, they were stating how dissatisfied they were with Sebastian hitting Adrian.Crystal waited for most of the people to leave before approaching Whitney. "Winnie, why are you helping Sebastian? He hit Adrian, so he should be the one handling this matter! Aren't you just selling yourself now?"Dante said, "That's right! You've already divorced that scumbag, so why do you even care? You c
"Do you know who Adrian is? It's well-known in Steinberg that he's a pervert!" Dante shouted. "He initially wanted our family to cripple your arms and make you apologize in person at Reece Corporation. "But Whitney decided to help you! She even said that it is none of your business! You're really a jerk, yet she still cares so much about you!"Sebastian frowned upon hearing that. "What? Whitney went to Reece Corporation alone?""Yes!" Dante replied. "And if you feel bad about it, then go save her! If you're late, she might have already been assaulted by Adrian!"Sebastian muttered to himself, "This woman is really a busybody."Feeling helpless, he had no choice but to drive Dante's car and rush to Reece Corporation.Dante and Crystal then gave each other a triumphant smile.Meanwhile, Whitney had arrived at Reece Corporation.Inside the CEO's office, she was bowing and apologizing to Adrian. "Mr. Reece, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect that my ex-husband would get physical."Adr
Whitney frowned when she saw Sebastian walking in. She said nervously, "Why are you here?"Sebastian approached her and grabbed the bottle of liquor from her hands. "Are you going to finish these two bottles if I don't come?""I…" Whitney stammered, and she looked wronged and helpless.Adrian, who was sitting opposite her, looked at Sebastian angrily. He laughed coldly and said, "How dare you come here alone! You're really bold, huh?"Sebastian scoffed and walked toward Adrian."Sebastian, what are you doing?" Whitney was scared, and she walked forward to grab Sebastian.Sebastian answered, "Don't worry. I know my limits."With that said, he looked at the bottles and said to Adrian, "Mr. Reece, how about I treat you to some drinks?""What do you mean?" Adrian frowned with a darkened expression."I mean… This!" Sebastian said coldly. A loud thud resounded when he hit Adrian's head with the bottle.Instantly, Adrian's head started bleeding. The hard liquor mixed with his blood
Whitney was shocked, and she pulled Sebastian away. He was still going to hit Adrian! "No… Please, don't! He's the CEO of Reece Corporation." she pleaded. Sebastian frowned.At this time, more than ten security guards rushed in with batons in their hands, and they looked fierce. When they saw Adrian bleeding on the floor, they were shocked."My goodness! Mr. Reece, are you okay?"The head of the guards helped Adrian up.Adrian then pointed at Sebastian and roared, "Get him!"The leader then glared at Sebastian as he gestured with his hands. "Attack!"Instantly, all of the guards rushed up, attempting to hold Sebastian down.Sebastian frowned and threw his punches repeatedly. After a brief moment, all of the guards collapsed onto the ground, wailing and howling in pain.Adrian was scared out of his wits at the sight, especially when Sebastian walked toward him.He shouted in fear, "Y-You… What do you think you're doing?""What do I think I'm doing?" Sebastian chuckled cold
Sebastian raised his hand and removed the silver needles on Adrian.At that moment, Adrian suddenly felt like he was alive again. He was covered in sweat and remained unmoved.There were side effects from the extreme pain just now; he would feel like his body was splitting apart if he moved a single muscle."Adrian, how does it feel? Wanna try again?" Sebastian asked coldly.Adrian shook in fear when he heard that. He got up and knelt on the floor as he cried. "Mr. Ballard, please, no. It's too painful! I'll never offend you ever again."Sebastian chuckled coldly. "Only me?"Adrian was stunned before realization dawned on him. He quickly bowed to Whitney and said, "Ms. Sutton, I'm sorry. I'll never harass you ever again."Whitney was already shocked to her core at this point. She was in disbelief when she saw Adrian apologizing to her.This was Adrian Reece from Reece Corporation, and his status in Steinberg was nothing to scoff at!"Mr. Reece, you…" Whitney was shocked, and h
Whitney didn't finish her sentence before she glared at Sebastian and said, "Fine. Since you don't know how to be grateful, then so be it!"She then left and waited for a cab by the road.Sebastian chuckled helplessly. He then drove Dante's car and stopped in front of Whitney. "Need a ride?""Hmph! No need for that! I'll hail a cab myself!" Whitney answered.Sebastian nodded and then drove away.Whitney was furious when she saw the car driving further away, which meant Sebastian had no intention of turning back."Damn it! Sebastian, you jerk!" Whitney stomped her foot in anger.In the end, she took a cab back to the company.Edna and the company's higher-ups had received news from Reece Corporation that the cooperation would proceed as usual. They all sighed in relief."Great job, Winnie! I can rest assured when you take care of the company." Edna chuckled.Whitney replied, "Thanks for the compliment. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."She then left the room before
Whitney also knew that with Shannon's temper, she wouldn't beg Sebastian.However, Sally had coughed out blood, and she was now unconscious. Even the experts in the hospital didn't know what to do after examining her."But Aunt Sally's condition has worsened. Aren't you worried about her?" Whitney asked.Shannon frowned. "I've contacted a friend to ask for help from a famous doctor. I don't need Sebastian. Me? Beg him? Dream on!""Famous doctor? Who?" Whitney asked in confusion.Shannon crossed her arms and raised her chin proudly. "Dr. Jay Sherlot from Uruxand! I heard that he's only in his 30s, and he's well-known globally. He has published many journals internationally and is a popular doctor in many medical institutions. There's nobody Jay can't cure in Uruxand."Whitney's face changed, as she had heard about Jay Sherlot before. He was indeed a famous doctor and had made significant contributions to the medical field. He was also more skilled in traditional medicine. It was
Sally looked at Jay and said, "Dr. Sherlot, thank you so much.""No problem." Jay smiled and began to put away his silver needles.However, Sally suddenly pressed her chest and let out a painful cry. "D-Dr. Sherlot, my chest hurts…"She coughed out blood and blacked out once again.f"Mom! Mom, wake up! Don't scare me!" Shannon was shocked and shook Sally's body. However, Sally showed no signs of waking up."Dr. Sherlot, what's going on? Why did my mom vomit blood and pass out again?" Shannon asked anxiously.Jay's expression changed dramatically, and his brow furrowed with confusion. "That's impossible. I just performed acupuncture on her. She should be fine now."He quickly began examining Sally again. Afterward, his face turned even more serious. He promptly took out his silver needles and started another round of acupuncture. Jay worked frantically for over ten minutes, but Sally showed no signs of waking up. Moreover, her complexion worsened and turned a disturbing shade o
