Rosalie handed the glass to Sebastian.Sebastian swallowed. When had he agreed to be her boyfriend?Besides, if he drank that glass of brandy, he'd be drunk too. "Do you bring your boyfriend along to discuss business?" Maddox scoffed as he glanced at Sebastian."It's alright. You can go ahead with your discussion. Don't mind me." Sebastian took the glass and set it aside without drinking it. "I happened to bump into my boyfriend at the door, so I asked him to come along," Rosalie lied. "Oh? What's your name? Where do you work?" Maddox asked persistently as he sat down, chuckling. "My name is Sebastian Ballard. I'm currently just a consultant at Arctic Snow Group," Sebastian said and bowed slightly to them all. "Oh, I see that we're dealing with a business run by a couple here. It's not the kind where the woman wears the pants, is it?" the tall and thin men said sarcastically in a provocative manner. "I'm not interested in running a business at all. We all have our talent

"As long as nobody dies, attack when we have to," Sebastian said to Gavin in a very low voice. Gavin slapped Maddox at once. "You—how dare you slap me?" Maddox had only been focusing on Sebastian and Rosalie. He hadn't noticed Gavin at all."He's licensed to hit people. It's all done according to the law," Sebastian said, pointing at Gavin. "Well, Rosalie! I'll give you one last chance. If you agree to my request now, you'll still make it in time," Maddox said angrily. "Gav, our safety depends on you," Sebastian said, pretending to look scared.Gavin took a deep breath. He was exasperated at Sebastian pretending to be some innocent, besotted lover boy. "Sebastian, don't let Gavin blow this up. The launch of our new anti-cancer drug in Yarroland depends on whether or not this collaboration will happen," Rosalie reminded him in a low voice.She hadn't expected Maddox to ask for something like that. She had planned to stall and call the police on the pretext of going to the t

"M-Ms. Griffin, let's… let's talk." Maddox had gone pale with fear, and sweat was beading on his forehead.The drug suppliers who had humiliated Sebastian with Maddox didn't even dare to breathe. They looked fearfully at Gavin and Sebastian."Is he really such a good fighter?" Rosalie looked at Gavin in slight surprise.It seemed that Sebastian had foresight. It had been right to bring Gavin along. Sebastian smiled slightly and stood up. He walked slowly over to Maddox and said, "Do you know, I really didn't want to hurt you, but you really don't know how to respect others.""M-Mr. Sebastian… no, Mr. Ballard, I…" Maddox only got halfway through his sentence when Sebastian cut him off with a slap in the face."Who did you say you wanted to kill?" Sebastian asked, looking icily at Maddox. "N-No, I… I was talking nonsense." Maddox was incoherent with fear. "Seb, I think we should forget it," Gavin said automatically. After all, Maddox was different from those thugs, and Rosalie

All Maddox would have to do was send the video to headquarters. Not only would the collaboration between Arctic Snow Group and Astrocorp be over, the latter would even blacklist all Arctic Snow Group's products.Maddox pulled out his phone and sent Jace a message at once. He then said to his confidantes, "I'm not a petty guy, but Ballard just went too far! How about this? You send the video of what happened just now over to headquarters. We'll just wait in Steinberg for good news from them.""Alright, I'll do it right now." The tall and thin man got up quickly and headed outside. …Meanwhile, after Rosalie had sent Gavin back to the Moonlyte Club, she started the engine once more and headed right for the Coltranes' mall."I have clothes, don't I? Why do I need to buy more?" Sebastian said, looking at the Ytalian hand-made suit he was wearing. They had just bought this a few days ago! Its workmanship and material would be more than appropriate for the event."This is a busine

"Jaxon Lark?" Rosalie turned and looked at the man in the blue suit in surprise."It's been a while, Rosalie," Jaxon said. He stretched out his arms, as if he was getting ready to give her a hug."It's been a while indeed." Rosalie hastily stuck her hand out to shake hands with him and maintain a safe distance.Jaxon had no choice but to shake hands with her awkwardly."Aren't you doing business abroad, Mr. Lark? What are you doing in Sartvale?" Rosalie asked, frowning.The Larks were involved in international trade and the supermarket business. They were wealthy even by Janover standards. Jaxon had had a crush on Rosalie since middle school. He had been sent abroad to study in his second year of high school, and ended up staying on to build his career there."My family asked me to come back and help out. We're planning to open a big mall in Sartvale soon, as well as a few franchised supermarkets, so I gave up the opportunities I had there and came back to help," Jaxon said rat

Tears rolled down Rosalie's cheeks as she spoke.Sebastian was flabbergasted. What was going on?""Last night? I didn't sleep with you last night," Sebastian said, looking wronged."Then it must have been the day before yesterday. We slept together that night."Sebastian was rendered speechless by what Rosalie had said. The day before yesterday, he really had slept with Rosalie because she had forcefully requested him to do so.Jaxon was furious as he stood there and listened to Rosalie and Sebastian bickering back and forth like a couple!"Rosalie must be blind! How could she have feelings for a petty, ungrateful guy like you?" Jaxon said angrily. He had turned pale with fury and was pointing at Sebastian. He wasn't angry because Sebastian had been unfaithful. He was angry that a guy like that had slept with his dream woman!When he'd heard Rosalie say so, Jaxon felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. He would have liked nothing better than to kill Sebastian to vent his hat

Jaxon turned and walked down the escalator. As Rosalie watched him leave, she burst into laughter. Sebastian rolled his eyes at her and said, "You are such a drama queen. Don't you think that was much too convincing?"Rosalie giggled and said, "Who said that I was acting? I did sleep with you.""I…" Sebastian could not think of anything to say to her. He felt dizzy and regretted making an impulsive decision at the time."We were sleeping together fully clothed!" he protested."Did you want to take my clothes off?" Rosalie looked fearfully at Sebastian.Sebastian was rendered speechless. He rolled his eyes but could not think of anything to say. Women, particularly smart women, would always have the advantage morally."Let's go, handsome. Let's eat." Rosalie took Sebastian's arm. Even the shop assistants in the neighboring shops were dumbstruck. Either Sebastian was much too charismatic, or Rosalie was a very good actress. They watched the two of them take the escalator do

"Hello, Mr. Zohan." Rosalie went up to him quickly and shook hands with him. Paul Zohan glanced at the area Rosalie was in, and he said arrogantly, "Do you want to come and sit at my table?""No it's alright. I just popped in to have a look today. It doesn't matter where I sit." Rosalie declined Paul politely and sat back down next to Sebastian. "We don't seem to be very popular." Sebastian frowned and looked around. Every other area seemed to be better than theirs."Shh, keep your voice down." Rosalie pointed at the tables near the entrance and said, "Did you know that even the people who sit there are worth billions? Anyone who's attending this gala must belong to the upper class of Steinberg. Ordinary people can't even get in." Rosalie was making herself very clear. As part of the younger generation, or a young person who hadn't made a name for themselves yet, they were already being given respect by even being allowed to sit there. At least they were better off than those s

Sebastian threw his head back in laughter. He strode forward, standing in the center of the hall, and said coldly. "Ungrateful? How could you have the audacity to say such a thing?"Even if I'm surrounded by enemies, you Ballards can forget about making me submit! It's just death, after all. If I even blink, then I won't call myself a man!"Everyone there stared at Sebastian."How dare that brat be so cocky? If he's not punished, it'll be a disgrace to our family rules!""He should be given the death penalty!""It'll be a disaster if we just let him be, and it'll only bring trouble for our family. Please give the order, and we'll kill him at once!"The entire hall was in an uproar. Even Preston, who had been speaking up for Sebastian and Samson, sighed in resignation.Since Sebastian had already made his stance clear, Preston couldn't help even if he wanted to.Sebastian had roused the anger of everyone there, and Arnaud had closed his eyes and wasn't saying anything. He was cl

Sebastian was just about to step forward when Samson hastily waved a hand at him and said, "Sebastian, the grudges of the Ballard family from over ten years ago have nothing to do with you. Don't get involved!""But—"Sebastian's gaze sharpened as he turned to look at Milton. There was an icy glint in his eyes. Samson shook his head slightly at Sebastian. The Ballard Estate had at least ten experts at the eighth level of the Eldoria realm. At Sebastian's current level, trying to fight them would only bring him big trouble."Sebastian, one must learn how to adapt to the situation," Samson whispered into his ear using voice projection. "Today, I will exchange my legs for your and Whitney's freedom. Think of it as a payment for what I owe you and your mother."Sebastian clenched his fists tightly. He hated himself for being too weak. He couldn't even protect his own family in a place like the Ballard Estate, where many experts were gathered.However, he would never allow anyone to

"Do you accept it, Samson?" Arnaud asked harshly when he saw that Preston hadn't said anything else. He turned to look directly at Samson.Samson smiled bitterly and turned to look at Sebastian before raising his head to look at Arnaud, who was sitting high above them. He said, "Uncle Arnaud, I was the reason for everything that happened. I wish to ask you not to trouble Sebastian.""What are you talking about?" Preston was agitated. He stood up again and yelled, "There must still be an investigation about who was right and who was wrong. Why should they break your legs?"As he spoke, his eyes blazed with fury. He looked at the thin old man and said furiously, "Milton, you old bastard! How can you be so shameless at your age? Tell me! Did you embellish the story to Arnaud?""Uncle Preston!" Samson stopped him quickly and sighed slightly. "Forget it. It's my fault for bringing such huge trouble upon our family back then."I admit that I have let our family down. Since imprisoning m

As the man in the black robe yelled, the entire hall fell silent at once. The thin old man threw the black-robed old man a disgruntled look, but he returned obediently to his seat.Once the noise had died down, Preston stepped forward and swept an icy gaze over the crowd who were present. "You call yourself the elders of the family?"The monument of our ancestral dragon is right in front of you. How could you bully two young members of the family in front of it? Don't you feel any shame?"Besides, how dare you speak before Arnaud does?"After the harsh scolding they received from Preston, no one in the crowd dared to protest. Sebastian nodded involuntarily. It appeared that Preston did have influence in the Ballard family. At least no one had interrupted his scolding, including Arnaud and the man in the black robe.Preston huffed angrily and bowed to Arnaud, who sat in the middle. "Arnaud, I've brought Samson and Sebastian!"Preston went over to the chair next to the black-robe

"Sebastian, I won't be going in. Remember, don't say anything without being spoken to, and don't be impulsive!" Andreas said softly in Sebastian's ear when they reached the door to the hall. He then walked over to the crowd, which was packed on both sides of the hall.Samson and Preston walked into the hall without any change in expression. Sebastian hesitated for a moment before hurrying to catch up.When they reached the entrance, the two old men reached out to stop them and said to Preston, who was in the lead, "Preston, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be a good idea for you to go in. Everyone knows that you're biased toward Samson's family. If you get into an argument with Arnaud, then—""Nonsense!" Preston yelled furiously. He spoke in a menacing tone to the two old men. "Don't try those tricks with me. Today, I'm going to be the voice of reason. Who among you can do anything to me?"With that, he pushed them aside and strode into the hall.The two old men gazed after his ret

The Ballard Estate's resources were unfathomable as it was. Could Isabella's family be even more powerful than theirs?Sebastian clearly remembered that both he and Samson were under the Sacred Medicine Society. They even had the same mentor.The Sacred Medicine Society was above all the other mystic martial arts sects. Even the sect leaders of the Nine Sects were very respectful toward his mentor.If Samson really was from the same sect as Sebastian, then his mentor had clearly been unable to save him. Wouldn't that mean that the Sacred Medicine Society was no match for the Ballards?Wouldn't that mean that Isabella's family was an even greater entity?"If my mother's family is really that powerful, why couldn't they rescue my father? There would also be no reason to let me join the Sacred Medicine Society either, right?" Sebastian asked probingly. It seemed as if Andreas had never even thought about such questions. He smiled and shook his head. "You probably don't know about a

As they stepped out of the courtyard gate, Samson suddenly turned and lowered his voice as he said to Sebastian, "I didn't treat you and your mother well. Please don't hold it against me."Sebastian felt even more conflicted. After everything he had been through, he knew very well that there were times when one really had no choice. When Samson saw that Sebastian was looking at him with a conflicted expression, he patted him on the shoulder and gave him a warm smile. Then he took a token from Preston and walked out of the yard.They followed Preston as he walked toward the east, where there was a majestic-looking building."Why are you helping me?" Sebastian suddenly turned and asked Andreas in a low voice. Andreas glanced at him and gave him a long, cryptic smile. "Do you think I'm helping you? I'm helping myself while doing so!""Oh?" Sebastian looked at Andreas in confusion, his brow knitted. Even Rexton had mentioned that Andreas was in Arnaud's favor. Why would he need t
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2045
When Rexton and the others had gone, Preston turned to look at Samson and said irritatedly, "You little rascal. Would I ever hurt you?"Besides, you've been here in isolation for ten years. Why hasn't your temper changed at all? Couldn't you show me some respect in front of all those people?"Samson glanced at Preston but didn't answer.Preston huffed and ignored him. He turned and looked Sebastian up and down instead."Hey, kiddo. Over ten years have passed in just the blink of an eye. You've probably forgotten me. I even gave you candy back then! Come over here and call me Great Uncle Preston!"Sebastian looked at him in surprise. It was true that he didn't have much of an impression of what had happened over ten years ago. However, he could tell from what Preston had said and done that his attitude toward Sebastian's family was completely different from Rexton and the others.Beside Sebastian, Andreas kept shooting him meaningful looks. Sebastian finally smiled and said, "Hell

Although the old man looked as if he was over 60 years old, his expression was sharp and lively, and his skin was smooth as a baby's. It gave him a youthful air.Even the severely injured apprentices all scrambled up from the ground when they saw him. They hastily bowed and said, "Greetings, Great Uncle Preston!"Even Rexton had no choice but to suppress his anger. He bowed sullenly to the old man and said, "Greetings, Uncle Preston."Preston Ballard glanced at Rexton and turned to shout angrily at the apprentices, "If I hadn't come, were you planning to tear the Ballard Estate apart? Look at all of you! Get out of here right now!"Despite the scolding they had been subjected to, none of them dared to protest. They all lowered their heads and slunk out of the yard. Preston glared angrily at them as they went and snorted. "What an embarrassment to the family!"Then he smiled slightly and looked at Samson and Sebastian as he asked, "Samson, do you have anything to say?"Samson lo
