Andon sat on the couch and eyed Jace. "Mr. Beckard, why are you helping me?"Jace didn't try to hide anything and told Andon about Stephen's situation. However, he skipped parts that were not beneficial to the Beckard family."Sebastian really is audacious. How dare he cause trouble even in Janover?" Andon said aloud. Secretly, he wondered how the Beckard family's influence could possibly let Sebastian escape so easily."Yes, indeed. Unexpectedly, we didn't obtain favorable evidence. Otherwise, how could Sebastian roam free? But these things aren't important. What matters is our future cooperation." Jace's words dispelled Andon's inner doubts."Mr. Beckard, there are some things you may not know. Sebastian has quite a few connections. Even Sunway's most famous martial arts academy is working for him. I appreciate your consideration, but…"Andon smiled wryly and continued, "I'm afraid I might disappoint you. With my abilities, causing trouble for Sebastian is akin to seeking deat
"Ms. Sutton, bad news!" Whitney was preparing for the industry conference when Mabel suddenly rushed into the office."What's wrong?" Whitney's heart sank when she saw Mabel's pale face."The Goldcrow pill… killed someone!"What? Whitney was so shocked that her pen fell to the floor.How could this possibly happen?Moreover, Frostave Corporation had been selling Goldcrow pills modified by Theresa."What's going on?" Whitney asked and stood up, her voice trembling.Frostwave Corporation was a pharmaceutical company, and the Goldcrow pill was something the company had been working on with great efforts recently.Nothing bad could happen at this time!Once news of Goldcrow pill resulting in death was released to the public, Frostwave Corporation would be doomed.Additionally, the industry conference was going to take place in two days. For something to happen at this time was definitely a big blow to Frostwave Corporation.Mabel took a few sips of water to calm herself down
It was what confused Jonah the most. "I'm not sure about the specifics, but I believe that you definitely have the medical skills needed to save this patient. As long as he's safe, we are willing to pay ten million in consultation fees!" Whitney said in a low voice, clenching her fist. Ten million wasn't a small amount, but it was nothing compared to Frostwave Corporation's reputation!As long as they could save the reputation of the Goldcrow pill, Whitney wouldn't even hesitate to pay 20 million."Ms. Sutton, I may not be your best choice. Mr. Ballard's medical skills are at a level that I could never hope to reach. Why don't you ask him for help?" Jonah had his own considerations.After all, the prescription of the Goldcrow pill originally belonged to Sebastian, and he would know best about what kind of treatment would suit the patient.Although Sebastian and Whitney were divorced, it was clear that Sebastian still had friendly feelings toward her. Jonah also wanted to use th
The argument between Whitney and Lincoln drew the attention of several passersby. As things were spiraling out of control, Whitney hastily smiled and said, "Mister, don't worry. We will take complete responsibility for the patient."Besides, I've already asked the most famous doctor in Steinberg, Dr. Pike, to come and treat your father. We—" Before she could finish, Lincoln slapped her across the face. She stumbled backward, and luckily, Mabel caught her before she fell.Whitney touched the vivid handprint on her cheek, and her eyes filled with tears. She took a few deep breaths, forcing herself not to cry."How dare you hit her?" Theresa's expression turned icy when she saw Whitney get hit. She pushed Lincoln forcefully away and said icily, "The patient still has a chance to live. Even if anything does happen, it's no excuse for you to assault anyone! I'm warning you. I can sue you for aggravated assault because you slapped her!"Besides, Ms. Sutton isn't trying to shift the
"Huh? Isn't that Ms. Sutton from Frostwave Corporation?" A sharp-eyed reporter recognized Whitney at once.As he spoke, the reporters around them surged forth like a hive of bees, raising their cameras at Whitney."Ms. Sutton, we heard that this old man is in critical condition because he took the Goldcrow pill manufactured by your company. Is there anything you'd like to say?""Ms. Sutton, I remember you saying at the Goldcrow pill product launch that it can cure anything. How do you explain the old man and his current condition?""Ms. Sutton, the Goldcrow pill has now caused a major case of medical malpractice. Will Frostwave Corporation continue to sell it?"The reporters' questions grew increasingly vitriolic, and Whitney did not know how to answer them."I'm very sorry, Ms. Sutton is here to see the patient. Frostwave Corporation will not make any statements to the public for now. Please move aside!" Mabel pushed aside the reporters at the front, and Theresa and Whitney sl
Whitney had turned pale with fright. She hurried forward and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, Dr. Pike?" Jonah looked serious as he said softly into her ear, "Hurry and get Mr. Ballard. Otherwise… the patient is sure to die tonight!""I'll stall the patient's family for as long as I can. If you can't get Mr. Ballard to come, I'm afraid…" Jonah trailed off into silence. Whitney froze for several seconds before turning toward the door and rushing outside. Theresa and Mabel caught up quickly when they saw her leaving in such a rush.When they got into the car, Theresa asked in confusion, "What's the matter, Whit? Dr. Pike—""Dr. Pike wants us to get Sebastian. He says that the patient is not going to survive past tonight!" Whitney's hands tightened on the steering wheel."What? Why should we go to that loser? Dr. Pike isn't joking, is he?" Mabel asked, frowning. She felt that if Jonah couldn't save the patient, Sebastian would definitely be of no use.Although Sebastian
Whitney was confused by what Theresa had said. She asked in confusion, "I don't know what you mean.""Why don't you understand? If the Goldcrow pill kills someone, Frostwave Corporation's reputation will be severely damaged. As long as Frostwave Corporation becomes bankrupt, you'll have no choice but to get back together with him and live an indolent life like him!"Mabel nodded vigorously at Theresa's analysis. She said, "No wonder he gave the prescription to me so readily when I asked him for it! He must've been plotting this from the start! Ms. Sutton, he's such a terrible man!"Whitney said nothing. Although she looked calm, her heart was in complete turmoil!Was what Theresa said true? Had Sebastian been planning this from the start?No!No matter what, Whitney refused to believe what anyone said. As long as Sebastian could give her a logical explanation, she would forgive him for anything, no matter what he had done!However, she sincerely hoped that he wasn't that kind of
Sebastian turned to look at Whitney and smiled bitterly as he said, "If you really did trust me, you wouldn't be asking. Go ahead. Is there another problem?"Whitney heard the icy tone in his voice, and she saw how distant his eyes were as he looked at her. She felt a bitterness in her heart.Was Sebastian still the man who had obeyed her every whim and always showed her the most tender care?"Sebastian, we were together for three years. Do you really have to treat me this way?" she asked.Then, she added, "Yes, I admit it. There's been another little problem, and I do need your help. But before all that, I just want to know if the Goldcrow pill prescription is yours or not."I won't blame you no matter how you got your hands on it. Even if I lose everything, I just want to get back our—"Before Whitney could finish, Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Stop talking. The past is the past, and we don't need to bring it up."Whitney stared dazedly at him, and her eyes grew wet. "Se
