The Northmans didn't just have extensive connections in the pharmaceutical industry. They were also very influential in the fields of business and politics.The Northmans held the banquet at the Pullman Hotel, the best hotel in Steinberg. Naturally, Larys was in attendance.If the Northmans decided to construct factories in Steinberg and start production, it would be a good political achievement for Larys.As the banquet hadn't officially begun, everyone was chatting in clusters of twos and threes.Fergus was talking animatedly with a few business owners in the Steinberg pharmaceutical industry. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the VIP lounge and saw Sebastian and Rosalie eating fancy-looking desserts. He immediately frowned.He felt that a small company like Sebastian and Rosalie's was not worthy of entering the VIP lounge. They had probably gotten into the VIP lounge by shamelessly using Fergus' status and name!After all, many people had seen him talking to Sebastian w
Fergus put one hand in his pocket and looked down loftily at Sebastian as he spoke."Where I go has nothing to do with any kind of connection with you, Mr. Cobb. Neither you nor the Cobb family have much importance at all," Sebastian retorted coldly.If Fergus wanted to talk about status, then the Cobbs were nothing."Oh, you're saying that my family isn't important?" Fergus laughed in anger.After all, he wasn't just the heir of the Cobbs. Now, he was also one of the executives of Bashmore Group's subsidiary in Steinberg.How dare a loser like Sebastian say that the Cobbs weren't important to Fergus' face? Who had given him the courage to speak so boldly?"Arctic Snow Group is a small company that was just established. Is there even anyone in Steinberg's pharmaceutical industry who knows you? As for the entire Sartvale, it's out of the question."What gives someone like you the right to talk about status and importance with me? How dare you say that the Cobb family isn't as imp
After Mabel had finished, the crowd of onlookers covered their mouths, tittering.Although many of them had seen Sebastian on television or through live broadcasts on the Internet, he had only been a contestant at a medical conference.How could a doctor who practiced traditional medicine have any kind of status or influence? Besides, the banquet had been organized by the Sunway Northmans.Compared to the Northmans, Sebastian was less than an ant.However, Mabel had only just finished speaking when an icy voice spoke from the entrance, "I am very sorry, miss. I'm going to have to interrupt you."Zeke and Theodore walked slowly over from the entrance. Zeke's face was as black as thunder. There was a frosty, murderous look in his ink-black eyes.Tonight was a very important night for the Northmans, but the most essential thing was to establish a good relationship with Sebastian.However, Zeke had only left for five minutes when that idiotic woman popped up out of nowhere to critic
Now that Fergus thought about it, perhaps it really hadn't had anything to do with Simon.Before he could speak, there was another icy voice. "I think that this lady's brain isn't working very well. Since when have we ever acted according to the Cobbs' wishes?"The crowd parted, and Hans walked out from behind Theodore. He looked very threatening. As he walked, his shiny leather shoes clicked against the floor, and every sound seemed terrifying."Do the Cobbs think that I collaborated with Frostwave Corporation on their account? Are you Cobbs so poor that you can't even afford to buy a mirror? "Zack, I'll give you one second to get out here and kneel! Otherwise, the entire Cobb family will be extinguished!" Hans was truly angry this time. There was a frosty light in his eyes. Even the bodyguards behind him stepped backward, intimidated by his imposing manner. They had been working with Hans for many years, but this was the first time they had seen him lose his temper like this
As soon as Eugene spoke, the onlookers were completely dazed. Even Fergus looked at Sebastian in disbelief.Whitney felt as if she had been shaken awake from a dream. She looked in disbelief at Sebastian, who was calmly sipping tea.How could this be?Whitney remained dazed for about half a minute before she finally said in tones of shock, "Was everything thanks to you?"Sebastian only looked impassively at her without answering.At that moment, a rich voice rang out from the direction of the lounge. "That's right. Although Mr. Ballard and I have only had a chance encounter, I know a few things about the events at Steinberg."Ms. Sutton, why didn't you think about it more? The Cobbs are just a small family, even in Steinberg, let alone in Sunway. How could Fergus have that kind of importance?"Why would people that even the head of the Cobb family wouldn't dare to provoke attribute any importance to Fergus?"Whitney felt her head spinning as a million thoughts rushed through he
"Now, allow me to introduce you to Northstar Pharma's future partners—Ms. Rosalie Griffin, the CEO of Arctic Snow Group, and Mr. Sebastian Ballard, the Chief Advisor of Northstar Pharma and Arctic Snow Group!"Theodore's intention of relating Arctic Snow Group to Northstar Pharma was very obvious.Sebastian wasn't only the Chief Advisor of Arctic Snow Group but also for Northstar Pharma. His status was nearly the same as Theodore's."Congratulations, Mr. Ballard!" Larys walked toward Sebastian and shook his hand the moment Theodore finished speaking.Niall Baldwin, the director of Wellings Pharmaceuticals, also walked toward Sebastian with a face full of smiles. "Mr. Ballard, please visit Sunway more. We very much welcome an individual like you for investment opportunities."As the two important figures went up to Sebastian, other big shots became aware of the situation. All of them approached Sebastian and started to greet him warmly.Instantly, Sebastian became the center of at
At this moment, Fergus' face was flushed red after Rosalie questioned him. He had never taken Sebastian seriously. He even looked down on him, thinking that he was just a nobody.But now? He finally understood that he was the nobody.Theodore gave Fergus a disdainful glance, and coldly ordered, "Kick these two out. Also, we don't welcome Frostwave Corporation. Ms. Sutton, I think it's best if you leave."The middle-aged man who stopped Fergus just now walked over with a stone-cold face and grabbed his collar. Then, he pulled Fergus out of the door.He tossed Fergus outside, sending him rolling on the ground. Fergus only stopped rolling when he knocked on the bush by the street.As for Mabel and Whitney, the guards gestured and said to them nicely, "Ms. Sutton, please leave. You're not welcomed here."Whitney was stunned. Then, she turned to look at Sebastian. With a sigh, she had no choice but to leave the hall with Mabel."Winnie…" When she was about to get into her car, Ferg
"From today onward, you don't need to report for work anymore."With that, Whitney got into her car and sped off.As she watched Whitney's car drive away, Mabel initially still had a regretful look on her face. But soon, the look turned into rage and hatred."Whitney!" Mabel clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. "I will make you kneel and apologize to me one day!"As for Fergus, who was lying in his pool of blood, he clenched his hands into fists as he stared angrily at Whitney's car.Not only did he fail to bring Whitney into Jace's bed, but all his lies and deceits were exposed. Moreover, Whitney even criticized him so badly. These were all thanks to Sebastian!"Sebastian! Whitney! Just you wait! As long as I'm alive, I'll never let the two of you live in peace!"The moment he finished speaking, he fainted.…Meanwhile, at Cairo Club, which was nearby Pullman Hotel, Jace was staring at the surveillance camera of the dining hall. He smiled at Trevor. "Mr. Northman, it seem
