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.
Feeling a warm reassurance on her shoulder, Rosalie looked up at Sebastian's handsome face and finally managed a smile. But soon, she sighed and said, "I just didn't expect the Griffin family to act so decisively. I'm afraid we won't have peaceful days ahead."Benny's attitude reflected the Griffin family's stance. After working for them for so many years, he had become one of Alec's trusted confidants. In other words, even if others weren't eyeing Moonlyte Club, Alec would still dismantle it."I told you; I'm here," Sebastian replied calmly with a faint smile.Rosalie nodded heavily, then changed the subject. "Will you go to tomorrow's opening ceremony?""Yes." Sebastian nodded firmly.There was no need to guess; the ceremony on the next day wouldn't be peaceful, either. The Beckard family and those eyeing Moonlyte Club wouldn't miss this chance to undermine Arctic Snow Group.After hearing his answer, Rosalie felt somewhat relieved.…Meanwhile, in the office of Frostwave
"I came here today because of our three years together, and I wanted to inform you specially," Whitney said. "If you don't want Arctic Snow Group to face closure, it's best to apologize to Mr. Beckard and make amends."Sebastian frowned and turned to Whitney. "How do you know no one will come?""Sebastian, why are you still so stubborn? I'm saying this for your own good," Whitney replied. "Have you ever considered how influential the Beckard family is in Steinberg? Even just one of Bashmore Group's assets dominates the cosmetics industry here. Can't you see?"She continued urgently, her voice rising, "Besides, is apologizing really that difficult? Plus, everyone knows about Rosalie being disowned by the Griffins. She can't help you now; she'll only be a burden to you. Do you understand?" Sebastian remained cold and composed. "My affairs are none of your concern, Ms. Sutton.""Sebastian, I'm only worried about you," Whitney said earnestly, staring at Sebastian's indifferent expres
"I'm here to support Mr. Ballard!" Hans strode around Jace and Fergus and approached Sebastian.He said respectfully, "Mr. Ballard, I wish you all the best in your new business!"He waved a hand at one of his subordinates, and four of them carried two floral arrangements over to the doors of Arctic Snow Group.Several Benzes pulled up, and the doors opened to reveal over a dozen prominent figures in the Steinberg business world. They didn't even look at Jace but went straight up to Sebastian and bowed."Mr. Ballard, thank you for your energy replenishing pills. It saved my life! You have my support!" Devon Collins said. "We are located at the department store in Pimland, and we're willing to stock the Arctic Snow Mask for free. This is a cooperation agreement. Please have a look, Ms. Cain." One of the wealthy businessmen politely handed Penelope a cooperation agreement. "Our department store is in Solville, and we're willing to sell the Arctic Snow Mask too.""Us too!"Penelo
