Sebastian was startled and immediately pushed Rosalie away. However, she held on and bit his lip.Sebastian had to try several times before he finally managed to push her away. Rosalie sat on him and looked resentfully at him. She wiped her mouth and said in annoyance, "Why did you push me away?" "Stop messing around! Get up!" Sebastian got up quickly, looking displeased. He looked hastily in the mirror and found that his lip had been bitten so hard that it was bleeding. Rosalie sat obliviously beside him, looking as if she was savoring the moment. When she saw Sebastian looking for medicine to put on his lips, Rosalie felt guilty and said, "Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."Sebastian couldn't be bothered to answer her. He applied the medicine, looking cold, and said, "You should go home.""No! I want to stay here and keep you company." Rosalie was obstinate and refused to leave. Sebastian exhaled in resignation. He couldn't be bothered to deal with her any longer, so he
Howard caught it quickly. He glanced at it and saw that it was a small, emerald-green stone. It was about half the size of his thumb. Although it looked ordinary, the moment he caught it, he felt a gentle warmth spread throughout his body. Howard wasn't an idiot. He knew that the emerald stone was a precious object, and he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Dr. Ballard."…Tony was in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel in Steinberg. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and gazed out at the skyscrapers outside. He asked in a low voice, "Have we contacted them? When are the Sentinels from Demongate arriving?" A bodyguard behind him answered respectfully, "Mr. Wright, we've contacted them. They'll arrive tonight." "Very good! They must murder that brat for me tonight!" Tony said coldly, a murderous look in his eyes. The bodyguard asked, "What about Howard, Mr. Wright?" Tony turned, looking ferocious as he said, "As long as that brat dies, Howard
Sebastian frowned as he watched Alvin leave. He looked at Rosalie and asked, "Is he really such an arrogant idiot?" Rosalie spread her hands and shrugged as she said, "That's the reason I don't like him."Sebastian shook his head. These rich heirs were used to getting their way because of their wealth and power. The real elite were all very educated and classy. They wouldn't behave like Alvin and try to use their authority to oppress others. The point was, did Sebastian look like a pushover? He clearly wasn't. Howard laughed and said, "Dr. Ballard, is there any trouble? Do you need me to help you take care of it?""No, it's just a minor issue," Sebastian said impassively. While they were chatting casually, elsewhere, Frostwave Corporation was facing a ruthless internal struggle for power. … When Whitney and Theresa arrived at the office, Dante sat in the CEO's seat in the conference room, giving commands to the company's high-level executives and shareholders. It made
They were indebted to Whitney. Even if they were fired, they still wouldn't dare to lift a finger against her. Whitney no longer had the patience to keep arguing with Dante. She turned and spoke to the company's executives and shareholders. "Would you rather come with me or stay here?"The executives and the shareholders understood her at once. They all stood up at once and shouted, "Of course, we want to go with you, Ms. Sutton! Dante is a blockhead who doesn't know anything and wants to interfere with everything! "It's only been an hour, and he's already fired 16 people! It's creating a terrible atmosphere in the company!""That's right! We'll go and start anew with you, Ms. Sutton!" The high-level executives and shareholders had made their opinion clear. Dante looked at them angrily and shouted, "You're a bunch of ingrates! How dare you oppose the company! The company is the reason that you can make a living! Fine, leave if you want to! You're all fired! Get lost, all of
Back at the convenience store. Howard chuckled after he watched Sebastian refine three safety stones. He said, "Dr. Ballard, are you planning to sell these safety stones that you've refined?" "Sell them?" Sebastian shook his head and laughed. "I'm planning to keep them for myself and give to others."Howard nodded and smiled as he said, "I can tell at once that these are high-quality items. I've only been wearing the one you gave me for a while, but I already feel so much more relaxed and comfortable." Howard shook his head and said, "It's a pity that you're not selling them, Dr. Ballard. If you could, then I'm sure you could earn quite a bit and pioneer a new market!"Sebastian raised an eyebrow. A plan began to form in his head. Howard was right. Young people nowadays believed firmly in this kind of thing. They were becoming more spiritual. Many turn to Tarot readings or check their daily horoscope charts to anticipate what lies ahead. "Mr. Tuffin, you've given me a st
"Really? Thank you, Dr. Ballard!" Howard was beside himself with excitement. Sebastian looked around and picked up a newspaper from the table. He took a piece of newspaper and wrapped the Life Prolonging Pill in it. He stuffed it into his pocket and said, "Let's go and have a look at this private collection viewing.""Wait, are you planning to exchange this Life Prolonging Pill for the spiritual stone?" Rosalie asked in surprise. Sebastian smiled. "Is there a problem with that?" "Sebastian, I believe you, but the people who are attending tonight may not. Plus, you wrapped it in a piece of torn newspaper," Rosalie said, frowning. Sebastian laughed and said, "What if there's someone there who has taste? Besides, someone who would collect a spiritual stone is not an ordinary person."Sebastian walked out of the convenience store. Howard rushed to open the car door and invited Sebastian in. Rosalie thought for a moment and followed. "Why are you following us?" Sebastian a
Sebastian's brow furrowed, and he looked coldly at the furious Fergus. He twisted his hand and bent Fergus' wrist at once. It hurt so much that Fergus bellowed in pain. "Sebastian! Let go of him!" Whitney yelled as she rushed over. Sebastian frowned and let go. He pushed Fergus hard and sent him stumbling off several feet away. "How dare you touch me!" Fergus growled. He was extremely annoyed. Sebastian fixed his collar and said coldly, "You were the one who started it. I was just defending myself.""Why you—" Fergus raised his fist to punch him. "Touch me again and you'll lose that hand," Sebastian said icily, his tone leaving no room for argument. He sounded threatening. Fergus was startled. He clenched his fist tightly, feeling aggrieved. Whitney frowned as she glanced at Fergus' red and swollen wrist. She said angrily to Sebastian, "Sebastian, what are you doing? Did you have to use that much strength?" Sebastian's expression changed slightly at her rebuke. He frow
Rosalie was the heiress of the Griffin family. She would never do something like that. Sebastian laughed self-deprecatingly. He looked at Whitney and asked, "Do you believe everything that Mr. Cobb says?" "Am I wrong? The truth has already been laid out in front of us. How are you going to explain that?" Whitney asked irritatedly. Sebastian couldn't be bothered to explain. The manager said grimly, "This is a private viewing. Please leave right now." Fergus laughed scornfully and said, "How embarrassing, Sebastian."He then turned to Rosalie. "Ms. Griffin, now you've seen for yourself how unreliable he is. Things will be hard for you if you stay with him in future." Rosalie looked at him as if he had grown a second head. She scoffed. "You really are an idiot.""Why you—" Fergus was furious. "What are you waiting for? Kick the two of them out!" he ordered the manager. The manager waved a hand and gestured to the security guards. "Take them out without disturbing the other
