"Grandma, is this Whitney?" Ryder asked, looking Whitney up and down.Edna nodded and said to Whitney, "Whitney, come and meet your cousin. Greet him properly."Edna showed off the diamond bracelet on her wrist as she spoke, looking proud. For the past three years, Frostwave Corporation's business had improved under the management of Sebastian and Whitney, but they had never bought Edna such an expensive gift.It was clearly a rebuke on Edna's part, as well as a challenge for Whitney.Before Ryder's return to the Suttons, Whitney had been their only hope. Now, things were different. Ryder was a star in the business world, and his connections were far better than Whitney's. Edna was no longer bothering to hide the fact that she preferred to have a male in charge."My cousin?" Whitney said lightly as she looked at Ryder with cold, impassive eyes. She asked, "Grandma, why don't I remember having a cousin?"Edna's expression turned dark at once. She said reproachfully, "Whitney,
As soon as Brandon and Jayden finished speaking, Whitney began looking grim.She had been cautious in developing the company over the past few years, and she was very careful with every single penny of the company's money that she spent. As a result, the rest of the Suttons hadn't benefited at all from the company, apart from a meager sum of dividends that they received each year.In the face of a collaborative agreement that was worth several hundred million, none of the Suttons would stand up for Whitney. In fact, they could even oppose her.Ryder had obviously come prepared, and the two contracts were enough to make the rest of the Suttons stand on his side, including Edna.It was just as Whitney expected. Before Edna could speak, a middle-aged man named Morty Sutton, who was from a branch of the Sutton family, stood up in a hurry. "Don't worry, gentlemen. Whitney may be the current CEO of Frostwave Corporation, but Madam Edna will make the final decision. Isn't that right?"
"Mabel!" Whitney turned an icy gaze on her and said in a frosty voice, "You're no longer a staff of Frostwave Corporation. You have no right to speak here!"Mabel laughed coldly and walked over to Ryder. She said triumphantly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Sutton! I'm Mr. Sutton's assistant now, and I represent him, not Frostwave Corporation!""Mabel, we've always treated you well. How could you turn on us at this time?" Crystal shrieked, looking agitated. "Treat me well?" Mabel tucked her silky hair behind her ear and crossed her arms as she scoffed, "How could you have the audacity to say that?"Your daughter was deceived by Fergus, but instead of reflecting on herself, she pushed all the responsibility to me and kicked me out of Frostwave Corporation. Is that what you call treating me well?"If it wasn't for the fact that Mr. Sutton acknowledged me, I would probably be out begging on the streets right now!" Mabel said. She recounted how Fergus had schemed against Whitney and how he had ta
"Ryder, how dare you say that to Winnie? I'll beat you up!"Dante was furious to see Whitney barely hanging on to life. Even if he couldn't replace her as the CEO of Frostwave Corporation, he didn't want Ryder to take everything that Whitney had worked so hard for over the past three years.Dante shot up and raised his fist to punch Ryder in the face.Before Dante's fist could reach Ryder, a figure suddenly stood in front of him. There was a thump as he landed a punch on Dante's chest.Dante felt as if he had been run over by a speeding train. He flew backward helplessly and fell to the ground with a heavy thump.He struggled to get up, and he spat out blood.Crystal burst into tears when she saw that Whitney had been triggered into a flare-up while Dante had been beaten up so badly that he was coughing up blood.She went to help Dante up while staring hatefully at Edna. She said, "Edna, what crime has our family committed? Why are you doing this to us? If anything happens to my
"What? Go to Sebastian?" Crystal stared blankly at Theresa. She couldn't understand what use there would be in going to that loser."Mrs. Sutton, at this point, I don't want to lie to you any longer. The truth is that Sebastian was the one who saved Whit the first time she had this flare-up. You were there at the time!""Now, only Sebastian can save her life. Are you just going to stand by and watch her wither without any help?" Theresa's words seemed to pierce deeply into Crystal's heart like a steel needle!As Theresa had said, Whitney's cold syndrome had flared up again after she got caught in the rain. Even the miracle doctors from Medcity had been unable to do anything. In the end, Sebastian had done acupuncture for Whitney and pulled her back from death's door. Although Crystal hated Sebastian because she felt that he ruined Whitney's bright future, the truth was that Sebastian was the only one who could make Whitney wake up in a short amount of time, just as Theresa had sai
However, they were still friends, and Rosalie was happy to see her.Cecilia looked Sebastian up and down and walked thoughtfully over to Rosalie. She smiled and asked, "Rosalie, did you go back on your engagement for him? You've paid a high price!"The truth was that Cecilia admired Sebastian's medical skills greatly, but that wasn't enough to make up for everything that Rosalie had lost!After all, Rosalie had once been in control of half the Griffins' family fortune. She had money and status that Sebastian couldn't give her!Rosalie only smiled slightly and shook her head, saying, "That's not what I think. Perhaps in a very short time, Sebastian's accomplishments will surpass those of the entire Griffin family. "Besides, even if I hadn't met Sebastian, I would never agree to marry Stephen! Just like the way you would've rather die than marry Ronan Leyton because of Ethan Whitehall!" Cecilia couldn't help turning to look at Sebastian, but finally, she shook her head and said,
"Something big has happened with the Suttons. Whitney's condition flared up, and I don't have time to tell you right now. For the sake of the three years that you and Whitney were married, don't abandon her at this time!" Theresa said clearly, looking at Sebastian with a serious expression.Sebastian couldn't help frowning. He asked, "What's happened with the Suttons?"Before Theresa could speak, Crystal said urgently, "Sebastian, Winnie's prognosis isn't good at all. Could I tell you on the way there?"When Rosalie saw how anxious Crystal was, she hurried over to Sebastian and said in a low voice, "Sebastian, I know you don't want to leave me alone to rescue Whitney. However, I don't want you to have any regrets at all."Besides, Frostwave Corporation is an important partner of Arctic Snow Group. This is the start of Arctic Snow Group, and we can't afford to lose such an important business partner. That is why I approve of you going to save her."Sebastian's heart warmed. He nodd
"Why you!" Cecilia looked coldly at Janet. If it weren't for the fact that she needed Sebastian's help, she would have slapped her.She was known in Janover for her fiery personality. Even the wealthy heirs in Janover had to be respectful to her, let alone a maid in Sebastian's shop!"Am I wrong? Ms. Griffin is free to date whoever she wants to. Does it have anything to do with you?" Janet asked. She turned and walked inside, leaving Cecilia standing there alone."Hmph!" Cecilia stomped her foot and glared angrily at Janet's retreating figure. She gritted her teeth and said, "Sebastian, wait and see!"With that, she stormed out of the shop. …Half an hour later, Whitney finally woke up after Sebastian had put in a huge amount of effort. When she opened her eyes and saw Sebastian gazing concernedly at her, tears spilled out of her eyes."Sebastian… I…"Before Whitney could speak, Sebastian shook his head slightly and said, "I heard about what happened with the Suttons. I'm very
