The Amazing Doctor Chapter 266
Whitney was taken aback. She slowly lifted her head to gaze into the distance as she wiped away her tears. Sighing, she stood up with a vacant look in her eyes and said, "I know."In her heart, Whitney understood how disappointed and resolute Sebastian looked when he left. It was as if each gaze was a knife stabbing her heart.She also knew that she and Sebastian could never go back to how things were before. In the past, she pursued success in her career, aiming to become the queen of the Steinberg business world. That was why she had let go of many things. But since the divorce, Whitney found that she couldn't seem to let go of Sebastian."What you need to do now is to pursue your dreams." Theresa reminded her.Tears glistened in Whitney's eyes as she replied, "I know. I want some time alone."With that, Whitney turned and walked away, riding the elevator alone to the hospital's rooftop.…Meanwhile, back in the ward, everyone was growing increasingly anxious.Upon return

After sitting for a while, Sebastian stood up, ready to leave the shop.However, the old man suddenly took out a document and threw it to Sebastian. "Take a look at this. I've found new clues about your mother." Sebastian was taken aback as he quickly opened the document and scanned it briefly.The old man continued calmly, "After your mother was driven out of the Ballard family, she came to Steinberg, but we don't know why. "My people found out that there was a group of people who once tried to kill your mother, saying she had something on her that shouldn't be brought out."Sebastian frowned, his expression changing drastically. A cold air emanated from him as he asked, "Who tried to kill my mother?""We haven't found out yet," the old man replied, shaking his head.Sebastian frowned, gripping the document tightly. He said coldly, "When you find out, inform me immediately.""You should focus on solving your current problems first."Sebastian sighed, knowing exactly what he

Sebastian frowned as the other party directly presented the collaboration proposal. "If you transfer the rights to this mask, we offer 50 million upfront! Additionally, you'll receive a ten percent profit share and annual dividends. "Based on our initial calculations, Mr. Ballard, you won't have to do anything and could earn a billion annually. If you prefer not to transfer, we can collaborate instead. "Zenith Pharmaceuticals will handle promotion and sales, offering you a 30% profit share. We estimate that you'll receive 70 to 80 million annually."Transferring for a billion or collaborating for seventy to eighty million was indeed a lucrative offer. For most people, it would be extremely tempting, considering Zenith Pharmaceuticals' market share in Steinberg. It meant earning money without doing anything, essentially achieving financial freedom.However, Sebastian refused. "I'm sorry, but I won't transfer or collaborate."The man on the phone sounded anxious. "Mr. Ballard,

At Frostwave Corporation, Whitney sat in her office as Mabel burst in excitedly, her face flushed with enthusiasm. "Ms. Sutton, our mask sales have topped the charts! We've doubled the sales of the second-ranking product!"Mabel was ecstatic, brimming with excitement.With this momentum, the mask developed by Frostwave Corporation could potentially overshadow all other skincare products on the market, solidifying its unshakable position in the skincare industry!Whitney glanced at the data, and a confident smile spread across her lips. "Increase the promotion and advertising efforts. Let's aim to make it onto the national bestseller list within three days!"This bestseller list held immense prestige in the skincare industry. Any product that made it onto this prestigious list would reap enormous profits in the market.And, to put it bluntly, it would usher in a new era in skincare."It's already been arranged," Mabel replied with a smile.Whitney nodded approvingly at Mabel's ef

It meant that out of ten people who had tried the Arctic Snow Mask, nine had purchased it. It was an unprecedented purchase rate!Even the face mask developed by Frostwave Corporation, currently ranked first, had only achieved a 60% purchase rate! Yet, even with this 60% rate, it surpassed the second-place product, which had a 30% purchase rate!Ben took a deep breath, feeling his blood boiling with excitement. He knew that with such a purchase rate, Arctic Snow Mask would inevitably climb into the top five or even the top three! Aspiring to be number one and surpassing Frostwave Corporation was not an overstatement.At that moment, his subordinate had run over and whispered, "Sir, the blackmail material is ready. When should we release it online?"Ben frowned and thought it over for a moment. He glanced at the USB drive in his subordinate's hand. "Let's wait for now. You and I will visit this Rosé Corporation and do our best to secure the distribution rights for Arctic Snow Mask

"You can take it as a friendly reminder. After all, in Steinberg's pharmaceutical industry, there are only a few reputable and influential companies. "Collaborating with Zenith Pharmaceuticals will be beneficial for you and your company, without a doubt," Ben said casually, his tone carrying a hint of coercion.Upon hearing this, Sebastian chuckled and replied, "I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I dislike being threatened the most. I've already understood your intentions. Please leave." Ben was immediately infuriated. Slamming the table, he stood up and rebuked, "Mr. Ballard! Refusing our offer is like spurning a toast and inviting a curse! Remember, in Steinberg, crossing paths with Zenith Pharmaceuticals leads to no good end!""I'm surprised that even after two years, Zenith hasn't changed its ways," Sebastian retorted coldly, his tone tinged with sarcasm."What do you mean, Mr. Ballard?" Ben's expression darkened, his dissatisfaction evident. "Are you familiar with Zenith?
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 272
Listening to Ben's cold laughter, Sebastian showed no fear and calmly asked, "Mr. Challer, do you think this will make me succumb to your pressure?""It's not about pressure. I just want to remind you that Zenith has the strength and means to make your life hard here," Ben said ominously. He added, "Mr. Ballard, I'm doing this for your own good. Isn't it nice to earn money while doing nothing?" Sebastian chuckled coldly. He tilted his head back and exhaled deeply. "Since that's the case, I've changed my mind…""Have you come to your senses?" Ben smirked mockingly. He knew that no small company could withstand his tactics."Mr. Ballard, coming to your senses is good. After all, three billion a year is easy money!" Ben chuckled and continued, "So, I'll bring the contract over now, and we can sign it immediately."However, Sebastian interrupted him, his tone cold. "Mr. Challer, you've misunderstood. I meant that the Arctic Snow Mask can collaborate with any pharmaceutical company,

"Clark Hanson, the chairman of Zenith Pharmaceuticals, is quite influential in Steinberg's pharmaceutical industry. He started from nothing and built Zenith Pharmaceuticals into one of the top five pharmaceutical organizations in Steinberg."Rosalie continued, "We Griffins wanted to expand our business in Steinberg, so it's unavoidable for us to have dealings with the leaders in the local pharmaceutical industry. Besides, there's history between Mr. Hanson Senior and my family."Sebastian nodded impassively.Rosalie watched his expression and raised her eyebrows. "What is it, Dr. Ballard? Do you know Mr. Hanson Senior?" she asked. "No." Sebastian shook his head and smiled."But your reaction just now made it seem as if you and Zenith Pharmaceuticals have some kind of conflict with each other," Rosalie said doubtfully.Sebastian smiled but didn't explain further. "Oh right, Dr. Ballard. I brought you here so Mr. Hanson Senior can consult you about his illness." Rosalie tucked h

Samson glanced at Sebastian. He took a deep breath and said to Arnaud, "Thank you for sparing me, Uncle Arnaud."He gave Sebastian a few final reminders before leaving the hall with Preston.Once they were gone, Arnaud pointed at Duo and said to Sebastian, "Tell him to leave too."Sebastian waved a hand at Duo."I'll wait for you at the entrance, my lord," Duo said. "If anything happens, I'll be here as soon as you call!"He gave Arnaud a cold look before striding out of the hall.Arnaud watched him leave and smiled approvingly. He beckoned to Sebastian. "Come, sit!"Sebastian didn't hesitate. He crossed the hall and sat in the chair opposite Arnaud."Do you know why I asked Andreas to bring you back here?" Arnaud asked impassively. Sebastian shook his head expressionlessly. He said in a cold voice, "It's probably because of the emerald token in my father's possession."Apart from using him and Whitney as leverage against Samson, he couldn't think of any other reason.Arnau

"The Blessed Child! The Blessed Child has finally come to our family!"The black-robed old man who had been sitting beside Arnaud stood up, looking pleased. He couldn't hide his excitement as he turned to Arnaud and said, "Arnaud, our family is going to prosper!"Only Rexton and Milton looked extremely displeased. Braxton and Roland looked pained, as if they had lost something of great value. They were practically thumping their chests in regret!The Blessed Child had been foretold by one of the heads of the family centuries ago. No matter how far the Ballards declined, the prophecy said that after a few hundred years, a Blessed Child would appear—someone who could lead the family's revival!The only proof of the Blessed Child was for him to enter a master-servant oath with a Devora."Prosper? What a joke!" Hugo scoffed, holding Virtus firmly. "Weren't you all just clamoring about killing the two of them?"At Hugo's words, Arnaud's expression changed slightly. "When did I say tha

"Hugo!"Arnaud, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them wide. He eyed Hugo with a conflicted expression as he asked, "Have you forgotten the agreement the Thornes made with us ten years ago?"Hugo smiled coldly and put one hand behind his back. "That was the agreement you made with the Thornes. I'm only following Ms. Thorne's orders to protect Samson and find the emerald token. If Samson dies in this battle, how am I supposed to explain that to her?"He pointed at Sebastian and added, "He's Ms. Thorne's flesh and blood. Your family has no right to punish him! If the Ballards insist on killing them today, don't blame me for going on a killing spree!"When Hugo had finished, Sebastian finally realized that Hugo was from Isabella's family and that he had stayed at the Ballard Estate to protect Samson.It was clear that Isabella hadn't held a grudge toward Samson. In fact, she had sent an expert to stay behind to protect him in case anything happened.Arnaud'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
