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
Who would've thought that the Beckards' blockade of Arctic Snow Group would have been resolved so easily?The muscles on Jace's face were twitching violently. Every contract that was handed to Penelope felt like a slap in the face to him.The main issue was that since he had closed off all the distribution channels for the Arctic Snow Mask, he had been sure that Sebastian would've submitted to him within a month. As long as Sebastian handed him the formula for the face mask, Jace could've used it to establish his own business empire in secret.Armed with his outstanding results, he was sure to become the successor of the Beckards.However, all of these people were ruining his plan!The worst thing was that he had plotted and schemed for so long to put his pawns in place at the industry event, only to have Sebastian overturn everything almost instantly.The Beckards had not only failed to blacklist Arctic Snow Group; they had ended up offending the local medicinal ingredient com
It was a threat! It was a barefaced threat!From Jace's perspective, although Eugene was a figure of authority in Sunway's underworld, he was still just a thug. What right did he have to threaten the Beckards?The three Grandmasters standing behind Jace would be enough to completely overturn all of Eugene's forces in Sunway.Without Eugene's support, would the medicinal ingredient suppliers dare to go against the Beckards?"Hmph! You heard him! How dare thugs like you go against Mr. Beckard? You don't have self-awareness at all! If you don't want to see your family dead, take your people with you and get lost!" Fergus shouted.He was acting as if he was a guard dog. He rushed to the front and pointed accusingly at Eugene and Hans. He couldn't understand why Sebastian was so lucky. The man even managed to get Eugene to come personally to support him. In the past, Fergus would never have dared take this tone with Eugene, nor would he have openly opposed Hans. However, thing
