The voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard it.They all looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome man in a black suit staring coldly at Jace."Who is he?""I know, right? Mr. Cobb is reasonable; everyone would get their pay accordingly, right? Why is this guy objecting to it?""Wait, isn't the girl beside him Ms. Griffin?"Jace snorted coldly after hearing the murmurs. "Mr. Ballard, I think Mr. Cobb's suggestion makes sense. We are all in the same industry; avoiding conflict of interest would be beneficial to exposing the market to a bigger scale. Isn't this a great idea?" he asked.Then, he added, "Or dare I say, you don't wish to share this advancement and advantages with everyone."Jace's words put Sebastian in an opposing spot.Instantly, many pairs of eyes filled with hostility landed on Sebastian."Sorry, Rosé Corporation is not interested in this. I shall take my leave now." Sebastian stood up and prepared to leave.Whitney quickly stopped him and whispe
How could a small company like Frostwave Corporation go against a big company like Bashmore Group?"Mr. Cobb, Frostwave Corporation would love to cooperate with Bashmore Group." Mabel stood up and tried to curry favor by smiling at Jace.Jace nodded satisfactorily. "Mr. Ballard, the actual sales of Arctic Snow Mask are on par with Iceheart facial mask. If you insist on withdrawing from the alliance, it means that many domestic channels and advertising resources will be out of reach for Rosé Corporation."It was a threat indeed.Sebastian smiled coldly and said, "Is this how the Beckard family runs their business? No more cunning schemes, just outright force? I don't care about the others, but I won't play along with this."Everyone was stunned, and they stared at Sebastian in shock.Sebastian's words were like a slap on Jace's face. His smile froze as he stared at Sebastian, and his hands clenched into fists."Sebastian!" Fergus slammed the table and stood up. "Mr. Beckard is ki
H-How dare you hit me?" Matt covered his face and glared at Sebastian angrily.Every pharmaceutical company in Dramon respected him. With just a word from him, he could block any of these companies' supplies.Jace promised him that once he got the Arctic Snow Mask formula, he would give it to Ytalia's manufacturer. Then, he would split the profits with Matt.To Matt, Sebastian was just an arrogant CEO. As long as he ordered him, he thought Sebastian would apologize to Fergus.Then, he would use this chance to threaten Sebastian for the Arctic Snow Mask formula. This way, he would have achieved his goal.However, Matt didn't expect Sebastian to not act according to his expectations. Sebastian even slapped him in front of everyone."Why not?" Sebastian scoffed as he glanced at Matt and the others and said coldly, "I'm guessing you guys have schemed this, right? "This industry event is being held today to steal my facial mask formula, huh? Since you guys are eyeing my formula, the
The leading bodyguard stepped forward to grab Sebastian's wrist. Meanwhile, the two bodyguards beside him rushed toward Rosalie."So, you're using brute force now? How dare you try to take what's mine?"With that, Sebastian waved his hands, and three silver needles flew out from his sleeves. The three bodyguards couldn't even react before they collapsed to the ground.Just as Matt was about to step forward and teach Sebastian a lesson, he saw this scene and pulled back his outstretched foot. "I didn't realize you were a martial artist."At that moment, an elderly man dressed in white slowly walked out from behind the bodyguards.Sebastian eyed the old man coldly. Though the man was at least in his 60s, he was spirited and had sharp eyes. An air of formidable strength emanated from him.He was Austin Paquin, the esteemed retainer of the Philips family and a renowned Supreme Grandmaster in Harrenville."Mr. Paquin, stop him!" Matt commanded Austin.With one hand behind his back,
After Sebastian left, the atmosphere in the hall became incredibly awkward. Jace hurriedly said a few words before leaving. …Back in the hotel suite, Matt cursed angrily, "How dare Sebastian slap me? He's asking for death!"Jace turned and gave Matt a sinister look. "Mr. Philips, don't say I didn't warn you. Sebastian is not to be trifled with. You should think twice before acting.""Hmph! I want to see if he's that invincible!" Matt spat back before storming out, slamming the door behind him.As Cameron watched Matt's retreating figure, he smiled slyly. "Mr. Beckard, are you trying to use someone to do your dirty deeds? Perhaps you are just not sure if the target is Sebastian or Matt, right?"Jace raised his glass and clinked it with Cameron, smiling without answering. Then he changed the subject, "Mr. Sanchez, how did the lab results turn out?""Excellent. This mask even has scar-healing effects, but it can't be replicated without the original formula," Cameron replied.
Upon hearing Rosalie's words, Sebastian frowned and said in a low voice, "The Griffin family wants to kick you out?"Rosalie's eyes flashed with determination as she lifted her chin and said, "Even if I have nothing left, I'll never go back to Janover or marry Stephen! Besides, staying in Steinberg isn't a bad thing. Maybe, with you as my support, I could still achieve something."A happy smile spread across Rosalie's face. She knew very well that it was likely her grandfather who decided to let her manage the Griffin family's properties in Steinberg. In other words, he was trying to create an opportunity for her and Sebastian to be together. This meant that her grandfather had already accepted Sebastian. Even if her mother opposed it, as long as she and Sebastian achieved success, no one in the Griffin family could stop their marriage in the future."Even my company's face masks are being completely banned. Are you sure I'm reliable enough for you to lean on?" Sebastian teased
As Rosalie was writing invitations, her expression froze slightly upon hearing the news. Though the announcement seemed trivial, it effectively cut off all her avenues of retreat. Without the Griffin family's protection and support, her clinic and club in Steinberg would be left entirely unsupported. Establishing a foothold in Steinberg was an uphill battle for a lone woman like her.Noticing Rosalie's fingers turning slightly pale from gripping the pen too tightly, Sebastian felt a pang of pity. "If it really doesn't work out, perhaps you should go back to Janover," he suggested. "The Griffin family's stance is clear. If you don't return, they'll cut ties with you. Can you really bear to leave your family?"Rosalie clenched her fists, her expression resolute. "This must be a decision made by my uncle and my mother! But they can't force me to yield with such tactics! So what if I don't have the Griffin family? Having you is enough for me!"As she spoke, Rosalie turned to look
Quite a few people were extremely envious of this club. However, due to the Griffin family's prestige, those who had eyes on this club could only keep their thoughts to themselves.Now that Moonlyte Club no longer had the protection of the Griffin family, it would instantly become a sought–after prize by various parties.Therefore, without much consideration, Andon agreed to the plan and assured Jace that he would witness a good show within three days. After hanging up the phone, Andon draped an arm around a beauty beside him and lifted a glass to take a big sip."That bastard Sebastian dared to make me apologize to him? Then let's play a good game!" With that said, Andon shouted at the door, "Guards!"Soon after, several strong men entered the room. "Spread the word. Say that the Griffin family will no longer protect Moonlyte Club. Anyone with ideas should act quickly." With that, Andon carried the young woman in his arms and walked toward the inner room of the private room.
