Chapter 199

Author: Wendell Mayhew
Rosalie's expression soured at Stephen's blatant threat, and she snapped, "What do you think you're doing? This is my birthday party, and you've overstayed your welcome! Get out!"

Stephen could only stare wide-eyed at Rosalie in shock. There was a beat of silence before he finally asked sulkily, "Rosalie, are you really kicking me out for this country bumpkin?"

"Yes," Rosalie replied coldly.

Stephen gritted his teeth in annoyance but said nothing. After that, he glared at Sebastian as he warned, "You're lucky to escape my wrath tonight. But don't think for a second that I'm afraid of you! Just wait! I'll make you regret your actions today!"

With that, Stephen stormed out while cradling his broken arm.

His final warning ignited the whispers of the crowd once again. None of them could believe that Stephen had just let the matter slide.

Fergus was visibly upset by the outcome. He hadn't expected that the Griffin heiress would stand up for Sebastian!

What a shame!

Just as Fergus wa

    Sebastian let out an indifferent scoff. "So what if I die a slow and painful death? What's it to the both of you?""Sebastian! Why are you torturing yourself like this?" Whitney huffed.Sebastian's expression turned frostier, and he looked at Whitney solemnly. "You think I'm torturing myself?" he asked."Are you not?" Whitney challenged. "You don't have the right or the ability to defend yourself if Mr. Beckard ever comes for revenge! What you're doing is suicide!" she continued angrily.Sebastian shot her a resigned smile as he replied, "I'm a useless piece of trash to you anyway. So why are you saying all of this to me now?"Whitney's expression soured, and she raised an eyebrow in displeasure."What are you trying to say?" she asked."I'm not trying to say anything," Sebastian replied mildly.Whitney's eye twitched in anger, and she yelled, "Fine! It's my fault for caring so much! In the future, I won't care if you live or die!"With that, she spun on her heel and stomped

    "She's the Griffin heiress?" Whitney asked in disbelief as she watched Rosalie on stage.Whitney's mind spun. She hadn't expected Rosalie to be the Griffin heiress and the woman she practically worshiped!Mabel's eyes were as wide as saucers as she stammered, "Impossible! Ms. Sutton, how can that woman be the heiress of the Griffin family?"Mabel had even scolded Rosalie before this… They were doomed.Whitney spun to face Fergus and demanded, "Mr. Cobb, have you known the true identity of the Griffin heiress before this?"Fergus hurriedly explained, "No! You're mistaken! I only just found out and was even more shocked than you two! I can't believe that Sebastian is on such good terms with the Griffin heiress!"Whitney frowned again and turned her attention back to the stage. Rosalie's beauty shone under the bright lights and seemed to have the crowd in silent awe. However, Whitney could feel the annoyance bubble in her chest.She couldn't believe that Rosalie was the Griffin

    Rosalie was already extremely breathtaking, but Whitney wouldn't be outdone. In an instant, with both of them on stage at the same time, the atmosphere of the entire event reached its peak."Pleased to meet you, Ms. Sutton," Rosalie greeted with a knowing grin as she offered her hand. Whitney shook her hand courteously, but her expression betrayed her true feelings.She flashed an awkward smile as she said, "Who would've thought that you're the heiress of the Griffins? Well, I guess I should've guessed it from the start."Rosalie's last name was Griffin, and she was also present at the medical conference banquet hosted by the Griffins.Besides, she was incredibly beautiful and elegant. Clearly, she was no ordinary person.Whitney should've connected the dots sooner. However, she was too blinded by her affection for Sebastian and could only see Rosalie as a potential love rival and nothing else.Or perhaps she just never thought that Sebastian would have connections with such we

    Rosalie's smile was knowing as she turned her attention back to the crowd. Her voice rang loud and clear as she announced, "I would like to introduce the second partner of the Griffin family. To me, he's not just a mere partner. He's also the man who saved my grandfather and an important person to my family!"The crowd broke into a heated discussion, and everyone exchanged equally confused and curious looks.Partnering up with the Griffins was equivalent to holding immense power, but the crowd was more curious to see who the man who saved Mr. Griffin senior was.Whoever had saved him must be incredibly powerful and lucky!The discussion only got louder and more heated as everyone tried to guess who the mystery man was."Mr. Cobb, who do you think this man is? He must be quite powerful to be Mr. Griffin senior's savior," Mabel mumbled in awe.Fergus frowned as he replied darkly, "I have no idea."As he spoke, he turned his attention to Sebastian, sitting silently in a corner.

    "I heard that Ms. Griffin likes him, so the partnership must just be an excuse for her to give him more power!""If that's the case, isn't he just a leech?"The whispers were filled with utter displeasure and disdain at Sebastian being named the second partner of the Griffins.All the guests present came from esteemed families. They despised men like Sebastian, who rose to power because they garnered the love and affection of a wealthy young woman.Mabel and Fergus, who were also in the crowd, fervently encouraged the whispers and fanned the flames.The crowd called him all sorts of names such as a parasite. It didn't take long for Sebastian's reputation to be dragged through the mud under the whispered obscenities of the crowd.Rosalie smiled and grabbed Sebastian's arm before she introduced him to the crowd, "Sebastian is an esteemed guest of my family and I hope everyone here treats him with nothing but respect!"After that, Rosalie turned to Whitney and raised her chin sligh

    Mabel reeled from the force of Rosalie's slap. She suddenly came to the shocking realization that the woman in front of her was none other than the Griffin heiress!She held her cheek and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry Ms. Griffin. I-I just…"Just then, Whitney had also rushed over and apologized to Rosalie, "Ms. Griffin, I'm so sorry. I apologize on behalf of Ms. Lucero."Rosalie shot Whitney a frosty glare as she said coldly, "Ms. Sutton, though I've chosen you as a partner of the Griffins, I still have to ask you to keep a tighter leash on your employees."Whitney furrowed her brow but didn't say anything. Instead, she shot Mabel a death glare. Mabel could only bow her head silently as she stood to the side.After that, Rosalie turned and her frosty expression had already warmed immensely. Her expression only brightened further when she looked at Sebastian.Her gaze was filled with love and adoration as she exclaimed, "Let's go, Mr. Ballard. Let me introduce you to my fr

    Was Sebastian trying to use Rosalie and the Griffin family to take Frostwave Corporation away from Whitney?Just when Whitney was struggling internally, a waiter came over and said, "Ms. Sutton, Ms. Griffin has asked for you."What? Whitney looked up and saw Rosalie standing under the light. She was indeed a very gorgeous woman.Whitney let out a huge breath and nodded. "Okay."With that, she walked over to Rosalie and smiled. "Ms. Griffin, not accompanying Sebastian today?""He's got some matters to deal with, so he left first." Rosalie chuckled.Whitney frowned slightly and asked, "So, what's the matter?""I just wanna know if you still love Sebastian," Rosalie asked with a meaningful smile.Whitney was stunned, and she frowned."May I know why you're asking me this?" Whitney chuckled to cover up the panic in her heart.Rosalie stared intensely at Whitney and said seriously, "Because I want to pursue him. Is this a good enough reason for you?"Whitney's heart dropped to

    Sebastian's phone rang not long after he left the villa. It was a call from Whitney, which confused him.After a moment of hesitation, Sebastian still decided to answer the call.Instantly, he heard the sound of a violent collision, followed by Whitney's screams.Sebastian frowned, his steps halting as he stood in place.In an instant, the temperature dropped by ten degrees!Rosalie was walking behind Sebastian. Upon seeing him suddenly stop, her expression turned unusually grim. Nervously, she asked, "Mr. Ballard, what's wrong? Did something happen?"Sebastian's brow furrowed as he listened to the sounds coming from the phone. He could confirm it was the sound of a car collision. Especially that last bang, as it sounded like the car hit something.Then, he heard Whitney's weak cries for help and the sound of her struggling. "Let... let go of me..."Suddenly, he heard the sound of the phone being smashed. Then, a string of static. Whitney was in trouble!In a split second,

    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

    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
