"Shut up! Don't be rude to Dr. Ballard!" James growled as he shot Lorelai a scathing glare.After that, under the curious gazes of everyone present, James slowly made his way to Sebastian and greeted him politely. "Dr. Ballard, I apologize for not raising my granddaughters right and allowing both of them to offend you. I sincerely apologize on behalf of both of them, and I assure you I will discipline both of them when I get home," James said respectfully.Leslie and Lorelai were stunned and wore similar expressions of utter disbelief.James was the patriarch of the Turner family, one of the most powerful families in Steinberg! He was a man with immense power, so why was he being so respectful to this punk?Sebastian chuckled good-naturedly in response, but his glare was sharp as he replied, "Mr. Turner, you're right. You really do need to educate your two granddaughters."James nodded in agreement before he turned to the sisters and spat, "What are you two standing there for? C
Though she had said that she understood, she had other plans."In the future, both of you should get on Dr. Ballard's good side. He just got divorced, so this is the perfect opportunity for you two," James said suddenly.Just one sentence was enough to stun the two sisters into silence."What are you saying, Grandpa? " Lorelai whined as she stomped her feet in embarrassment.Back at his shop, Sebastian took out the medicinal furnace that he just bought and wiped it with a cloth until it was clean.Now that it was clean, Sebastian studied the furnace closer and was shocked by his discovery.This wasn't just any furnace!The inscribing on the furnace seemed to be from thousands of years ago, and did that inscribing say…Leofric?Sebastian's excitement only grew when he saw the name etched on the furnace. This was a furnace that Leofric, the renowned ancient physician, had used! What a lucky discovery!"What is it? Why are you so excited?" Rosalie asked in confusion, her eyes
"Thank you, Theresa," Whitney replied with a smile."What would you like for dinner? If you don't have anywhere in mind, I know a nice cabaret," Theresa said."I'm alright with anything. You can go ahead and make the reservation," Whitney said as she stared longingly at Theresa.She was overjoyed that Theresa was here with her.Theresa had been her best friend since childhood and had left four years ago to complete her double doctorate in traditional and modern medicine overseas. Theresa had returned to Steinberg because she had promised Whitney four years ago that she would help her.To fulfill her promise to Whitney, Theresa had even given up on a golden job opportunity overseas that was willing to pay her 500 thousand dollars in foreign currency yearly! "Alright then. I've already made a reservation at The Fleeting Dream. Let's go!" Theresa said.…At night, in front of the entrance of The Fleeting Dream, Sebastian got out of the car first, and Rosalie smiled as she said,
"So what? At least I'm not in the wrong! Unlike you," Whitney grumbled.Sebastian frowned but didn't respond.Just then, Rosalie walked over. She was slightly stunned to see Whitney there as well, and she asked, "Ms. Sutton, are you here for dinner too?"As she spoke, she walked over to Sebastian and clutched at his arm. She then shot a smile at a pale-looking Whitney and said, "Ms. Sutton, I'll go in with Sebastian first. Enjoy your dinner with your friend!"After that, she dragged Sebastian into the cabaret before Whitney could even answer.Whitney huffed and stomped her feet in annoyance. Watching Sebastian and Rosalie walk into the cabaret together gave her a stuffy feeling in her chest.Just then, Theresa had also parked the car and walked toward Whitney with confident strides. She raised an eyebrow as she asked, "Who was that just now?""No one important. Let's go," Whitney replied coldly."Alright then," Theresa said, and the two women linked arms before they walked into
Theresa stood behind the both of them with her arms crossed before her chest as she asked them coldly. Sebastian turned to face the woman behind him and asked in confusion, "Do we know each other?"Theresa smiled mildly. "I'm Whitney's best friend from childhood, Theresa Livington. I was studying overseas four years ago, so I couldn't attend her wedding."Best friend?Sebastian frowned. Whitney had never mentioned Theresa before."Is there something wrong then, Ms. Livington?" Sebastian asked.Theresa scanned Sebastian critically before she said haughtily, "Three years ago, I had wondered who Whitney had married. She was always telling me how handsome and capable her husband was. However, I see now that you're not that special after all."Sebastian frowned but still flashed Theresa a smile. "If this is all you wanted to say, then there's no need to continue. Whitney and I are already divorced," he said.Theresa gave him a serene smile as she replied, "Even if the both of you
It was just that Theresa had indeed gone a bit too far with her words just now. She never said that her three-year marriage to Sebastian was a stain on her life.Sebastian's gaze was frosty as he let out a mocking chuckle. "Ms. Sutton, if there's anything you need to tell me in the future, please just tell it to me directly. There's no need for you to trouble your best friend to humiliate me," he said."Sebastian… It was all just a misunderstanding…" Whitney started, desperate to explain herself, but she was cut off by Sebastian's scoff.He then deliberately turned to look at Theresa before locking eyes with Whitney again.The meaning behind his look was clear. How could this possibly be a misunderstanding? Did she really want him to believe that everything Theresa said was of her own accord?"Ms. Sutton, I've never wanted to fight with you, but if you keep forcing my hand, I will not hesitate to retaliate," he informed her coldly.Whitney paled at that, and Theresa walked
Theresa was extremely excited.Anyone who could develop a prescription like this must be an absolute genius!If this prescription was discovered by research institutions abroad, it would certainly create an uproar in the medical world!Whitney looked embarrassed and wondered if she should tell Theresa the truth. After all, Theresa had just insulted Sebastian to his face half an hour ago at the cabaret.What would Theresa think if she knew that Sebastian was the one who had made this prescription?After hesitating for a while, Whitney smiled lightly. "It's nothing. This prescription was made through the joint efforts of the research department at my company."Theresa was disappointed when she heard this. It had been a collaborative effort, then. However, it was enough to prove that Whitney's research team was outstanding. "Theresa, is there anything wrong with the prescription?" Whitney was more concerned about that. This prescription had to be used with Sebastian's acupunctur
"I believe in you! Keep it up!"Rosalie ran off without knowing whether or not Sebastian had heard her.Sebastian turned in surprise. He smiled exasperatedly as he watched the car's tail lights recede into the distance. Compared to Whitney, Rosalie was a lot more naive and endearing. Besides, she reminded him of how unconditionally Whitney had trusted in him three years ago. Sebastian exhaled, feeling like his mind was crowded with thoughts. As he was bored, he thought of what Whitney had accused him of that morning. After some thought, he opened Twitter and searched for the account "Aloof Snow". It was definitely Rosalie.She had more than 100 thousand followers, which was a pretty high number.She didn't update much, and there were only about four or five tweets in total. They were mostly pictures of herself that she'd taken while traveling, and all the comments below were from beautiful women. The most recent tweet was about the "Arctic Snow Mask", and it had been post
