"No, you saved my life, and I must repay this kindness!" Rosalie pouted, looking serious. Then, with a mischievous smile, she grabbed Sebastian's arm and said, "How about I marry you then…""What?" Sebastian spat out his drink, turning to stare at Rosalie in disbelief. This girl sure had some nerve. Alone together in the dead of night, she still dared to say something like that.But he couldn't deny that Rosalie looked stunningly beautiful, bathed in the faint light of the grocery store. She was a captivating beauty, and her smile at that moment was enchanting and irresistible.Sebastian couldn't help but steal a few more glances at Rosalie. Perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol, his heart was racing. But in the next moment, he shook himself out of his reverie, quickly averting his gaze. "Ms. Griffin, please don't joke like that. I have no interest in romantic affairs right now.""I was just kidding! Look at you. You're so taken aback!" Rosalie burst into laughter, causing

"Can't handle it? Impossible! No matter how tough or exhausting it is, I'm determined to learn!" Rosalie pounded her chest, showing great interest.In the past, Rosalie had tried learning martial arts, but she quickly lost interest. One reason was that her teachers were all elderly and boring, and the other was that she wasn't very motivated to learn.But now it was different. Sebastian was teaching her, and even if she had to endure hardships every day, she was determined to learn."I'm going to be your bodyguard, so why bother learning?" Sebastian countered.Rosalie answered, "There will be times when you're not around. Learning self-defense is necessary."After a moment of thought, Sebastian nodded and said, "Alright, I'll teach you."As if remembering something, Sebastian stood up and rummaged through a drawer in the back room, then handed Rosalie an emerald pendant."What's this?" Rosalie took the emerald pendant and curiously examined it."It's for defense. I've inscrib

The car door opened. Crystal and Dante rushed out, followed by about a dozen thugs.Sebastian raised an eyebrow when he saw them."Shannon, are you alright? What's going on?" Crystal rushed over when she took in the scene. She asked Shannon, "What did you crash into? Where's the other party? Don't worry, I've brought people.""Aunt Crystal, look at my face! Look at what's happened to it! How can I attend Whitney's wedding when I look like this?" Shannon whined. When Crystal saw the injuries on Shannon's face, she was furious. She yelled, "Don't worry, I'll get justice for you! No matter who the other party is, I'll hack them to pieces for being so bold in Steinberg!"Dante stepped over to them importantly and shouted, "Frickign hell! How dare they hit my cousin? Do they have a death wish?""It's that guy, Dante!" Shannon pointed at Sebastian and Rosalie.She rushed over to Sebastian and shouted, "Weren't you pretending to be cool just now, you asshole? Let me see what you'll

Crystal and Dante followed them anxiously.When they arrived at the police station, Sebastian gave his statement and handed over the footage from his dashcam. He and Rosalie went out after that. As for Shannon, he didn't care what happened to her. Outside, he saw Crystal and Dante. The two of them were waiting anxiously and making dozens of phone calls to try and use their connections."You asshole! I won't let you get away with this!" Crystal hissed as she glared at Sebastian.She added, "Winnie is about to arrive! You can explain to her when she gets here!" Sebastian frowned. At that moment, there was the sound of harried footsteps outside. It was someone wearing high heels. A slender figure entered, wearing a face mask and sunglasses. "What's going on, Mom? Why has Shannon been arrested?" Whitney ran in with Mabel, looking anxious. Crystal grabbed Whitney and wailed pitifully, "Winnie, you're finally here! What else could the reason be? It's that asshole Sebastian's

Alvin Janssen frowned and looked rather unhappy.He was the heir of the Janssen family in Janover and was very wealthy. He was also a passionate suitor of Rosalie's. He and Stephen Beckard were dubbed the "Janover Gentlemen". Stephen was the second son of the Janover Beckard family. They had been given the nickname because both of them were courting Rosalie, and they had fought over her many times. "A boy toy? How could that be? Rosalie is such a proud woman. She even turned up her nose at Mr. Janssen and Mr. Beckard. Would she go for a boy toy in a tiny city like Steinberg?" the woman in the blonde man's arms spoke up, looking disparaging. "Maybe Rosalie likes that kind of thing?" The blonde man laughed.Alvin frowned and glared at him. He said coldly, "Don't slander others without reason, especially Rosalie! Don't speak ill of her in front of me!"The blonde man was startled. His smile dropped at once, and he said formally, "I'm sorry, Mr. Janssen."Alvin snorted. He look
