After Whitney left the airport and went to the parking lot, she saw Theresa. She was wearing a spaghetti-strap top, tiny black shorts, and sunglasses while leaning against the car door.When she saw Whitney walking over to her with reddened eyes, she frowned and asked, "Are you crying? Did that asshole Sebastian upset you?""No." Whitney shook her head and got into the car. In the car, Theresa asked in confusion, "Whit, I don't understand. Wouldn't it be a good thing if Sebastian forfeited? It would be beneficial for both you and Frostwave Corporation. Why are you against it?" Whitney exhaled and said, "Theresa, you don't understand. In the past, I thought of him as a useless burden. However, after we got divorced, I realized that Sebastian wasn't as useless as we thought." "And… I recently realized that I love him and that I've always loved him," she finished and suddenly burst into tears. Theresa frowned. She looked resigned as she pulled out a tissue and handed it to Whitn
"Sebastian Ballard," Sebastian answered. A murderous look filled the woman's eyes. "According to Ms. Bourne's command, I must kill you!" There was a flash as she thrust the dagger toward Sebastian's chest, moving as fast as lightning. "Oh, my lord! Be careful!" Janet cried out in shock. She wanted to stop the woman, but it was already too late. The dagger whistled violently through the air, and it was clearly a powerful strike that was as strong as that of a Grandmaster! Janet could not understand. Sebastian had only said his name. Was it really enough to merit murder? Sebastian was unruffled. He moved aside slightly and dodged the woman's dagger. "How dare you dodge?" The woman had not been able to strike him, but she turned and aimed for Sebastian's waist. Sebastian had not been planning to fight. After all, he had had no choice but to terminate the engagement back then. Plus, he had come to ask for a Dreamfyre. However, as his opponent seemed intent on attacking him,
Sebastian looked around at all of them. It was the grid formation that the Garden of Bloom used in battle."My lord, I… I'm scared…" Although Janet did not know how powerful the grid formation was, she could sense the murderous intent around them. She was so afraid that tears had pooled in her eyes."It's okay. I'm here." Sebastian patted Janet gently on the shoulder and comforted her.Callista looked coldly at Janet, who was hiding behind Sebastian, and scoffed. "Sebastian, you didn't insist on terminating the engagement for this slut, did you? It seems like you don't have much taste. Do you have a penchant for ugly women?"Janet had been cowering in fear, but the moment she heard Callista, her gaze sharpened and she was immediately furious. Women hated being called ugly, fat, or old!"You little—" Janet was about to lose her temper, but Sebastian waved a hand and stopped her. "Callista, let me explain. There was a reason for what I did back then—""Stop talking nonsense! Ge
The Trigram Grid was quite formidable. Sebastian had experienced it four years ago. He would have been able to break through it at the time, but he had refrained from doing so because of how much he had humiliated the Garden of Bloom already. At the time, Sebastian had chosen to flee. It was the last vestige of pride that he had allowed the Garden of Bloom to have.Today, he had no choice but to take action for Robert's sake. A dagger flashed in front of Sebastian, but this time, he did not retreat. He struck swiftly at a woman dressed in pink who was standing in the formation.She was the center of the Trigram Grid formation!As long as the center was incapacitated, the formation would no longer be able to amplify the skills of the people in it. The women would scatter like sand and be forced to fight individually. He was fast! Too fast!All they could see was a shadowy figure, and before the woman dressed in pink could react, she had already been rendered unconscious by S
There was a sudden bang as the strings of the harpsichord broke. An icy expression stole over Jade's face. She turned slightly and said coldly, "Who is it? Haven't I told you that no one is to disturb me while I'm meditating?" Juniper was so scared that she lowered her head at once and said softly, "Ms. Bourne… S-Sebastian wants to see you.""Him?" Hearing that name again after four years made Jade's heart tremble. It was as if a pebble had been dropped into a calm lake, sending ripples across the surface.There was barely concealed excitement on her pretty face. She got up and stepped out of the tower as she said, "Where is he? Take me to him, quickly…"Jade took a few steps before realizing that something was wrong. She suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Um… take him to the Bloom Hall to see me."Jade hurried off. Juniper watched her leave. She went to see Callista, feeling conflicted, and whispered a few words in her ear. Callista's expression changed, but she suppressed
Sebastian stepped up to her and reached out to wipe away the tears on Jade's cheek, but he did not say anything. The previous leader of the Garden of Bloom had created an opportunity for them to interact alone for close to three months so that they could set them up for marriage. However, Sebastian had always thought of Jade as a younger sister. He had no romantic feelings toward her at all.He did not want to hurt her pride, so he had hidden his true feelings in his heart. "Seb, I have an idea. The ice emerald bed in the back mountains might be able to suppress the fire venom in your body. Come with me!" Jade's eyes suddenly lit up. She grabbed Sebastian's hand and was about to bring him there. "Jade, the ice emerald bed will not be able to suppress the fire venom in my body. Don't worry, I have a solution." Sebastian paused. He pulled out his hand from Jade's and smiled as he said, "Jade, I came here for a friend. I want to make a special request for the Dreamfyre. All his
Jade reached out to open the box. A refreshing scent immediately filled the hall. A glow that seemed to be filled with rainbows hovered about three inches above the petals—red, orange, green, blue, cerulean, indigo, purple.The seven petals surrounded the center of the flower, just like stars clustering around the moon. Seven buds in the center of the flower that were the size of pearls shone. They were translucent and seemed to glow with a celestial light. The moment the Dreamfyre appeared, there was a cry of amazement in the hall. Everyone was mesmerized by the wondrous sight!"Jade, I'm borrowing this Dreamfyre from you. I'll be sure to return one that looks exactly the same," Sebastian said seriously as he took the box. "Hmph. The Dreamfyre only blooms once every hundred years. It will only bloom again in another century. Where are you going to get one that looks exactly the same?" Callista asked, her eyes filled with angry tears. She could not suppress the rage in her hear
Everyone turned to look behind them. Sebastian walked slowly and confidently into the arena from the entrance. Although there were thousands of pairs of eyes on him, he looked perfectly calm. Whitney looked at Sebastian. She pressed her lips together and did not say anything.Mabel and Fergus looked at Sebastian in surprise. They believed he had no true skills to speak of. The only reason he had been in first place with Henrietta the previous time had been thanks to the Griffins' connections. For the second round, the organizer had specially invited Triston to be one of the judges. He was one of the most respected doctors in Dramon. Even the Griffins would not be able to play any tricks. Rosalie should know that. Then, why did Sebastian still have the guts to come? Mabel scoffed. She stood up and said sarcastically, "I didn't think that you really would have the guts to come. It's just a pity that Dr. Smolder is here this time. Not even Ms. Griffin will be able to help you!"
