"Really?" Whitney's tone suddenly became excited on the other end of the phone."Winnie, listen to me. The competition is extremely fierce this time. You know what it would mean to become a partner with Bashmore Group." Fergus reassured her. "So, Mr. Beckard hasn't given me a definitive answer yet, but rest assured, I will do my utmost for you!""Alright then… I'll wait for your good news," Whitney said before hanging up.Fergus looked at his phone and chuckled. He thought, "Give you the hard-won entry ticket? You can keep on dreaming!"Ever since Whitney had broken off their engagement, Fergus had harbored a deep resentment toward her. Rather than allowing Frostwave Corporation to get the entry ticket, he preferred to use the Beckard family to end Frostwave Corporation!In the end, Whitney would have to bow to him, if only for the sake of the Sutton family. The thought brought a malicious glint to Fergus's eyes.…Whitney put down the phone, nervously clenching her hands as
Whitney was taken aback by Jace's question. Before the meeting, she had thoroughly prepared and organized all the product information and market feedback for Iceheart facial masks into a neat file. She never expected him to be interested in the Goldcrow pill.After a brief pause, Whitney tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled. "Mr. Beckard, the Goldcrow pill is a recent development. I was in such a rush that I forgot to bring it along. But don't worry, I'll have someone bring it right away."She then turned to Mabel and said, "Mabel, please hurry back to the office and have Theresa bring a box of the improved Goldcrow pill over as soon as possible."Mabel nodded and quickly left the room.Whitney took a sip of hot water and asked, "Mr. Beckard, does Bashmore Group also have interests in the pharmaceutical industry?"Jace smiled faintly, shaking his head and tapping his teacup. "Ms. Sutton, that is not the case. Recently, my grandfather's health hasn't been great, so
Jace frowned and asked, "Gandolf, what's the problem? Is there something wrong?"Gandolf let out a cold snort and sneered, "Mr. Beckard, they're trying to fool you."What?Theresa was puzzled.Whitney's heart sank. It was clear that Gandolf was no ordinary person. He had likely discerned something.Unwilling to back down, Mabel asked, "Sir, what evidence do you have for saying this?""Evidence?" Gandolf laughed. "Even if your research team had another five hundred years, they wouldn't be able to come up with such a complex formula!"Turning to Jace, Gandolf continued, "Mr. Beckard, the original formula for this Goldcrow pill is a culmination of the greatest achievements in traditional medicine. Without a thousand years of heritage from a prestigious medical family, it's impossible to create such an intricate formula!"Hearing this, Jace narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Whitney. "Ms. Sutton, if your company cannot even ensure basic honesty, I think we should reconsider our
Back at the club, Jace toyed with the Goldcrow pill in his hand, his gaze intense as he stared at it. "Gandolf, do you mean to say that Sebastian might come from a prestigious medical sect?""Not just any medical sect. He's likely a successor of the Sacred Medicine Society," Gandolf replied with hatred in his eyes.Gandolf was from the Witch Sect and had once been an elder. Over ten years ago, the Sacred Medicine Society had commanded several sects to attack the Witch Sect, destroying centuries of heritage in a single blow. Had Gandolf not hidden in the pond behind the mountain, he would not have survived. Every time he thought of the massacre, his hatred for the Sacred Medicine Society would increase.…Rosalie decided to take a rare day off and drove Sebastian to the city center. She then dragged him into an international, well-known men's fashion store.Half an hour later, Sebastian loosened his tie and smiled wryly. "I really can't get used to these clothes. They're too re
Among Jerry's dubious friends was Logan Steele, who was Andon's top fighter. And Andon was on par with Hans in terms of influence. With Logan backing him, Jerry was confident that dealing with a nobody like Sebastian would be a piece of cake. This could be his stepping stone to gaining favor with the prestigious Beckard family and inheriting his family's business.Growing more excited, Jerry called a waitress over. He whispered some instructions and then hurried to the manager's office to call Logan.Meanwhile, Sebastian and Rosalie were engrossed in ordering their meal. They didn't even notice Jerry there. Rosalie ordered a lavish spread from the menu."Hmm, this should be enough for now. Oh, and bring us your best bottle of red wine," she said, handing the menu back to the waitress with a happy smile directed at Sebastian."How are we supposed to finish all this?" Sebastian asked with a helpless smile. Rosalie had ordered three different types of steak, leaving him a bit sp
Rosalie was not one to be easily bullied. Earlier, she had chosen to be polite as she didn't want to ruin her special day with Sebastian. But that did not mean she would tolerate being mistreated."200 thousand!" The waitress crossed her arms and sneered. "What's the matter? Can't afford it?""You have to pay no matter what," she added arrogantly.Sebastian overheard the commotion at the door and looked over. His face darkened as he saw Rosalie being confronted by the waitress."Rosalie, what's going on?" he asked as he walked over."It's nothing," Rosalie replied, her expression hardening. "This waitress bumped into me and now wants me to pay for the broken glasses.""Don't lie! You didn't watch where you were going and bumped into me, which then caused the glasses to break. Don't push the blame on me now!" The waitress continued to shout, pointing at Rosalie.Sebastian frowned and said, "There should be surveillance cameras in the restaurant. Let's check the footage."The men
The sound of the slap reverberated through the restaurant. Not only was the manager completely stunned, but the waitress was also frozen in shock. The onlookers around them collectively gasped.The waitress wasn't lying with what she said earlier; the owner of Amor Dream Restaurant was indeed on good terms with Logan, who was Andon's top fighter. Sebastian seemed very bold to create trouble here."You've got a lot of nerve to hit our manager. Today, if you don't leave a hand behind, don't think you'll walk out of here alive!" the waitress shouted angrily at Sebastian while helping the manager off the ground."Oh dear, you've really stirred up trouble. This restaurant isn't one to be messed with. Just a few days ago, someone got their arm broken for simply saying that the borscht here didn't taste right!" A middle-aged man nearby quickly and quietly advised, "You'd better apologize."Sebastian sneered. If it weren't for Amor Dream Restaurant's poor customer service, he would
Across the street in a café, Fergus watched the scene unfold through the window, sneering."Sebastian, so what if you know Hans? Andon is on the same level as him. Even if Logan can't touch you today, you'll have thoroughly crossed Andon."Since Fergus had experienced Sebastian's prowess last time, he was afraid of him. He no longer dared to confront Sebastian head-on but still engaged in underhanded schemes.This time, for instance, even though he knew Jerry and Logan might suffer, it didn't matter. He was willing to risk Jerry's wrath if he could set up a conflict between Sebastian and Andon.…"Andon? Is he really that impressive?" Sebastian sneered coldly.Sebastian had heard Hans mention Andon before, but such a minor figure didn't even register on his radar. However, Rosalie's face showed a hint of worry. She knew Andon's reputation as the only person in Steinberg comparable to Hans. He was notoriously difficult to deal with, and crossing him would undoubtedly bring tro
