Chapter 331

Penulis: Edelweiss W.S.
"I don't want to leave Mommy or Daddy! I don't wanna! Am I a bad kid? Is that why I can't have both Mom and Dad?" Bobby sobbed.

Edmund's eyes filled with silent tears.

Hera felt as if her heart had been wrung dry. She was an Awakenist. How could she justify tearing a child away from a parent?

Hera sighed. "Alright, Edmund. Take Bobby back to Astergrad. I still have a small chalet in the suburbs. Here's the key. Stay there for now.

"We shouldn't meet again until I've found a way to balance my commitment to Sebastian with helping you. I'll do everything I can to make sure you and Bobby live comfortably. This is all I can offer right now."

Edmund's tears stopped instantly. He took the key, wiping his face dry. "You've always been kind, Hera. I knew it back when we were in school."

He smiled, but the corners of his lips tightened too much.

"All I ask is that you stay away from Sebastian. Please. I can't lose him," Hera said firmly.

Edmund nodded without hesitation. "Of course. I k

    "That settles it, then! Shawn Inc. will handle production for our sleeping pills, and Lockheed Pharma will take charge of the Flametamers," I concluded. "Now, about the formulae…"I turned to Metis, signaling that it was her moment to shine.That was when I noticed her eyes had been fixed on me the entire time. "Uh, Metis? Hello? Is there something on my face?"Her cheeks flushed bright pink. "W-What? Oh! No! Not at all! What did you… Right, the formulae! Coming right up!"She scrambled for a pen and some paper, then began writing.…'Oh God. Sebastian is so irresistible when he's serious! How could anyone not be mesmerized…'By the time Metis realized she had written the wrong formula, it was already too late. 'T-This one's for erectile dysfunction medication! Why did I write this?'She glanced at Sebastian, her face burning. 'Well… treating ED is just one of its many functions. A man needs to restore his energy and virility however he can!'With that logic, she kept writing.

    "He doesn't deserve your respect!" Kevin shouted.Taylor's hand shot out, striking his cheek with a sharp crack. "Are you too stupid to realize how stupid you are? Mr. Grimwald has given you multiple chances to make things right for your own sake, and this is what you did with them?"He isn't here to get a job, dumbass! He came to offer this company a contract worth 42 million dollars! Could you ever earn that much in your lifetime? Huh? Could you?"Taylor's eyes blazed. "How dare you look down on someone with that much capability and influence? You're nothing but a useless nobody!"He drew a breath and straightened. "Frankly, I planned to promote you to second-in-command of this factory because you're Mr. Grimwald's cousin. But thanks to your own stupidity, I don't have to make that mistake!"His voice turned cold. "You've ruined your own career. You're not even a team leader anymore, Kevin Grimwald. You're fired."Taylor turned away from him and forced an uneasy smile toward Me

    Unfortunately, Kevin thought I was mocking him."Stop trying to provoke me, Sebastian!" he growled. "Do you even realize you're on my turf? I can kick you out of this factory with one word!"I frowned. How much deeper did he want to dig his own grave?"Do you really have to treat your cousin like this? Isn't that a bit too much?" I asked, hinting as plainly as I could."I didn't choose to be your cousin! My dad's always looked down on yours, and I see no reason not to do the same!" Kevin roared.To him, my refusal to share Metis' contact was an insult he couldn't tolerate. He saw it as ridicule, and he had to fight back."You and your family will always be bottom-feeders! You're dirt-eating poor! All that filth must've rotted your brains and turned you into mouthbreathers! And you think you could get a job here? Get out before I call security!"My stare turned cold. I'd given him several chances to walk away and save himself, but he refused every one. He seemed determined to pro

    Metis was walking toward me, but Kevin mistook her approach as coming toward him. "Whoa, sweetheart. Hello! I'm the leader of the Streamlining Team in this factory. Never met you before."He continued, "Are you here for a job? Well, you're in luck. My words carry a lot of weight here. I can make sure you get hired! Let's add each other on Instagram or something. I make a few thousand dollars every month and just bought a car…"He flashed his most winning smile and stepped toward Metis, phone in hand.Metis ignored him and brushed past without so much as a glance.Kevin's smile froze."Sebastian, shall we continue?" she said, standing beside me with a smile.I forced myself not to laugh. "Okay."As we turned to leave, Kevin suddenly blocked our path, pointing a finger at me in furious disbelief. "Stop! You aren't here with him, right, sweetheart? He's not your boyfriend, is he?!"Metis' expression turned icy. My stomach knotted. How could this idiot pick the one thing that would

    I decided we should just visit the factory without him, especially since Taylor had already informed his guards about our arrival. The only part of the factory we were forbidden to enter was the dispensary. Everywhere else was fair game.We concluded the factory was just as good as Shawn Inc.'s."They both meet our standards, huh? Then let's split the deal. Shawn Inc. can make our sleeping pills, while Lockheed Pharma handles the Flametamers," I said.Metis went to the restroom.I was just about to call Jeanine to draft two contracts when I ran into someone I least expected. A flat voice behind me said, "Oh, is that Sebastian Grimwald? I can't believe it's really you."I turned, equally surprised. It was my older cousin, Kevin. I frowned."Why are you here?" I asked."Because I'm the leader of one of Lockheed Pharma's production teams. I'm on my break right now," he said. "I earn a lot more than normal workers here, man."He chuckled smugly. "What happened? Couldn't make a livi

    "Wait! Since when are we getting married? How come I have no idea?" I asked, baffled."Denial won't get you far, Sebastian! I overheard it myself from Claire's grandmother! You two are supposed to get married soon!" she snapped.I froze as realization dawned, then chuckled, amused. "No, no! That was just Claire and me pretending to be a couple so her grandmother wouldn't worry about her love life and future!"Metis widened her eyes in disbelief. "Is that true?""Of course it is!" I nodded, slightly confused by her sudden mood swings."This is wonderful! I knew the universe wouldn't let me miss my true, destined love twice. I misunderstood you, yet the universe brought us back together, as though we were never meant to be apart. I almost misunderstood you for life…" she murmured so softly that I could barely make out the words.I wondered if she was cursing me under her breath for calling her my girlfriend. Then, suddenly, she looked up. "What were you actually thinking when you c
