Chapter 223

Author: Edelweiss W.S.
"Thank you, Grandma! Thank you for this…"

Sabina patted Claire's back gently, her smile warm. "Don't cry, sweetie. I don't have much time left on Earth, which is why I want to see you truly happy before I'm gone…"

Her eyes, lined with the scars of time, fixed on me. "Marry Cici for me, will you, Sebastian?"

She was pleading.

I was about to nod when a sharp, smug voice echoed from outside. "Objection!"

The McKays perked up instantly.

"Her life is doomed the moment she marries that worthless nobody, Mrs. McKay! For that, I object to this request!"

Finally! The hero the McKays had been waiting for had arrived.

The family stepped aside as Victor's bodyguard pushed him through in a wheelchair. He looked battered, but his confidence shone undiminished.

"I know everything about you now, Sebastian! There's nothing you can say or do to bluff your way out. Leave if you value your pride!" he declared, smirking.

There was no waaay in hell that I would be intimidated by a guy in a wheelch

    Even after shedding her heavy clothes, Metis was still overheated. Without a word, she walked to the large window beside my desk, pushed it open, and let the cool breeze wash over her."About half an hour to an hour," I said. "I sent you three formulae. Are all of them problematic?"A faint fragrance drifted in with the wind, catching my attention for a moment."No," she replied, shaking her head. "Two are fine. Only the one meant to nourish the spleen and lungs has an issue. That medicine won't show any problems in the short term. But for the effects to work, it has to be taken continuously for at least a week."Metis exhaled slowly, her tone somber. "Once the toxins build up, they'll cause serious damage."Then her voice softened. "But don't worry. The volunteers only took one dose. They'll be fine. I'll detox them myself."Relief washed over me. I let out a long breath I hadn't realized I was holding."Thank you. You really saved me this time," I said sincerely. "By the way,

    "What kind of outfit is that?"Metis still wore her heavy snow-mountain gear, the same thick coat and layers from the icy peak. Here in mild Astergrad, she sweated, her cheeks flushed, and her hair clung to her neck."Don't worry about that," Metis snapped, waving Sebastian off as she steadied her breath. "I saw the formulae you sent. You bought them from someone else, didn't you?"Her voice shook from the exertion.…"Yeah," I said. "I could not reach you and the schedule was tight. The formulae came from a senior doctor. They looked decent, so I went ahead."At once Metis's face lost color. She grabbed my arm, her grip firm and trembling. "What? You already bought them? Have they gone on sale?""Not yet, but they're about to. I just gave the order to launch. They should be online any minute now," I replied, frowning at her panic."Stop it. Stop the launch right now!" she shouted, her whole body shaking. "That formulae the senior doctor gave you are flawed. If they go on sale,

    On one side stood her dearest friend. On the other, the man she could not help but care for.Astrid wanted to be happy for them—she truly did. But no matter how hard she tried, she could not bring herself to smile. The tender feeling that had just begun to bloom in her heart was something she had to bury deep, where no one could see it.'Sebastian, if only you had appeared in my life a little earlier. If I had met you first… Sebastian, I think I almost fell for you.' She sighed inwardly, helpless against the dull ache spreading through her chest.All she could do now was watch her best friend's happiness from afar and silently give her blessing.Meanwhile, Claire remained blissfully unaware. She sat across from Sebastian with a soft smile, eyes warm and gentle as she watched him eat.…Ten minutes later, I scraped the last bit of food from the lunchbox. Leaning back in my chair, I let out a satisfied burp. "Ahh, that hit the spot."Claire laughed. "Look at you. Do you even look

    "Who said I was joking? Let's start the interview, Mr. Grimwald."Astrid shot me a resentful glare, then straightened up, her tone snapping into professional form as she began.I played along without complaint.Half an hour later, the interview about the company came to an end. I figured she'd pack up and leave, but her expression suddenly shifted."Alright, that's enough work talk," she said, narrowing her eyes, "Now… I want to ask a few questions about your personal life.""Personal life?" I blinked, puzzled.Astrid sighed, clearly exasperated."Sebastian, you're unbelievable! Last time, you promised to have me over for dinner, remember? I showed up, and you vanished!" She went on, her voice rising, "And to make it worse, we even ran into each other downstairs, and I still didn't know you were her live-in boyfriend!"Her words hit out of nowhere, leaving me completely thrown.Before I could ask what she meant, the office door opened.Claire stepped in, her eyes filled with

    In just five days, profits topped 20,000,000 dollars. By the seventh, we had shattered the hundred-million mark. And by the tenth day, Sleeping Giant's liquid assets had already surpassed those of most second-tier families in Astergrad, just half a step from first-tier status.But even the strongest tide eventually receded, especially in the pharmaceutical world. After ten days of relentless growth, our financial reports finally began to steady."I hereby announce that overtime is officially over! Everyone, you've worked hard these past couple of weeks! Starting today, you all get a full week of paid vacation, triple salary, and full bonuses!"I gathered the dozen or so core members of Sleeping Giant into my office to deliver the news myself. By now, each of them had risen to a senior position in their departments."Thank you, Mr. Grimwald!""I've been dying to take a trip abroad. Time to go wild!""Ever since I started working for Mr. Grimwald, spending money doesn't even make m

    "Since that last poisoning failed because of conflicting drug properties, this time I'll give you a real poison formula."When you start mass-producing it and putting it on the market—when people start dropping dead everywhere—what will you do then?" Terry sneered, his grin twisted and cruel.Terry's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he watched Sebastian nod at Luke and take the formulae. He turned the wheel triumphantly and drove off.-Far away, on a snow-covered peak thousands of miles away, the wind howled like a wild beast. The blizzard raged so fiercely it turned day into night."Hello?"Hello, Sebastian. I miss you!"Have you finally made up your mind?"Metis was bundled in thick gloves and a heavy hat, wrapped up so tightly she looked like a penguin.Her beautiful face was flushed red from the cold as she frowned at her phone. The signal bar was completely empty."What kind of lousy signal is this? It's just a little snow, and I can't even make a call or send a messag
