Chapter 972

Author: Wendell Mayhew
"Since you've come back to your hometown in glory, you'll need a good car to keep up appearances," Jace said.

He added, "I'll also move Brandon back to Steinberg. He'll be managing the affairs of Bashmore Group in Steinberg. He'll introduce a skilled expert to you to be your personal bodyguard.

"If anything unexpected happens, he'll be able to protect you. He can deal with anything, from an average thug to a famous assassin."

The expert Jace was referring to was Elton.

Jace wasn't about to give up on Elton so easily. If he could let Elton stay with Ryder, he could protect the latter's safety while also being able to kill him at any time!

As for Brandon, he had also once been classmates with Ryder and Jace. After returning to the country, he started working for Jace, and he was extremely loyal.

Jace was planning to leave him in Steinberg to help Ryder, but also as a precaution.

Jace and Ryder continued their discussions for a while until Jace finally clapped a few times.

    When Whitney heard what Crystal had said, she suddenly stopped and turned back to her, saying, "For my own good?"Don't you know that Sebastian secretly solved every challenge Frostwave Corporation has met over the past few years? Fergus, whom you think so highly of, was just coveting the Sutton family fortune!"Not only that, Mabel was bribed by Fergus to change the medicine that Sebastian left for me. The two of them almost killed me twice."Even the kidnapping that happened a few days ago was related to Fergus. If he hadn't given my phone number to the people who belong to the Killers, would I have been deceived into going to Westfore Street?"Is that how you do things for my good?" Whitney's words seemed to pierce Crystal's heart like a sharp sword. If she hadn't said it herself, Crystal would never have believed, even in her wildest dreams, that Fergus was such a despicable person.She would never have believed that Fergus and Mabel would almost kill Whitney.Whitney was t

    "It costs less than 30 million. It can't compare to my love for you, Grandma!" Ryder said, smiling.Everyone took in a sharp breath. If he could afford to give a gift that cost so much, Ryder must really have made his fortune overseas!"Good, good. My grandson is someone who really shows his gratitude and love. Come in and let me look at you properly!"With her left hand now adorned with the bracelet, Edna reached out to take Ryder's hand to walk inside. Ryder smiled and stopped her. "Grandma, wait. Let me introduce you to these esteemed guests!" He turned and pointed at the two young men behind him. "This is Brandon Cullen, the person in charge of the Steinberg branch for Bashmore Group. And this is Jayden Stallone, the heir of the Stallones. He's from the most prestigious family in Sunway."Brandon alone would be enough to astonish Edna. She would never have expected the heir of the Sunway Stallones to come to Sutton Manor. She stood there in shock, unsure of what to say.Th

    "Grandma, is this Whitney?" Ryder asked, looking Whitney up and down.Edna nodded and said to Whitney, "Whitney, come and meet your cousin. Greet him properly."Edna showed off the diamond bracelet on her wrist as she spoke, looking proud. For the past three years, Frostwave Corporation's business had improved under the management of Sebastian and Whitney, but they had never bought Edna such an expensive gift.It was clearly a rebuke on Edna's part, as well as a challenge for Whitney.Before Ryder's return to the Suttons, Whitney had been their only hope. Now, things were different. Ryder was a star in the business world, and his connections were far better than Whitney's. Edna was no longer bothering to hide the fact that she preferred to have a male in charge."My cousin?" Whitney said lightly as she looked at Ryder with cold, impassive eyes. She asked, "Grandma, why don't I remember having a cousin?"Edna's expression turned dark at once. She said reproachfully, "Whitney,

    As soon as Brandon and Jayden finished speaking, Whitney began looking grim.She had been cautious in developing the company over the past few years, and she was very careful with every single penny of the company's money that she spent. As a result, the rest of the Suttons hadn't benefited at all from the company, apart from a meager sum of dividends that they received each year.In the face of a collaborative agreement that was worth several hundred million, none of the Suttons would stand up for Whitney. In fact, they could even oppose her.Ryder had obviously come prepared, and the two contracts were enough to make the rest of the Suttons stand on his side, including Edna.It was just as Whitney expected. Before Edna could speak, a middle-aged man named Morty Sutton, who was from a branch of the Sutton family, stood up in a hurry. "Don't worry, gentlemen. Whitney may be the current CEO of Frostwave Corporation, but Madam Edna will make the final decision. Isn't that right?"

    "Mabel!" Whitney turned an icy gaze on her and said in a frosty voice, "You're no longer a staff of Frostwave Corporation. You have no right to speak here!"Mabel laughed coldly and walked over to Ryder. She said triumphantly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Sutton! I'm Mr. Sutton's assistant now, and I represent him, not Frostwave Corporation!""Mabel, we've always treated you well. How could you turn on us at this time?" Crystal shrieked, looking agitated. "Treat me well?" Mabel tucked her silky hair behind her ear and crossed her arms as she scoffed, "How could you have the audacity to say that?"Your daughter was deceived by Fergus, but instead of reflecting on herself, she pushed all the responsibility to me and kicked me out of Frostwave Corporation. Is that what you call treating me well?"If it wasn't for the fact that Mr. Sutton acknowledged me, I would probably be out begging on the streets right now!" Mabel said. She recounted how Fergus had schemed against Whitney and how he had ta

    "Ryder, how dare you say that to Winnie? I'll beat you up!"Dante was furious to see Whitney barely hanging on to life. Even if he couldn't replace her as the CEO of Frostwave Corporation, he didn't want Ryder to take everything that Whitney had worked so hard for over the past three years.Dante shot up and raised his fist to punch Ryder in the face.Before Dante's fist could reach Ryder, a figure suddenly stood in front of him. There was a thump as he landed a punch on Dante's chest.Dante felt as if he had been run over by a speeding train. He flew backward helplessly and fell to the ground with a heavy thump.He struggled to get up, and he spat out blood.Crystal burst into tears when she saw that Whitney had been triggered into a flare-up while Dante had been beaten up so badly that he was coughing up blood.She went to help Dante up while staring hatefully at Edna. She said, "Edna, what crime has our family committed? Why are you doing this to us? If anything happens to my

    "What? Go to Sebastian?" Crystal stared blankly at Theresa. She couldn't understand what use there would be in going to that loser."Mrs. Sutton, at this point, I don't want to lie to you any longer. The truth is that Sebastian was the one who saved Whit the first time she had this flare-up. You were there at the time!""Now, only Sebastian can save her life. Are you just going to stand by and watch her wither without any help?" Theresa's words seemed to pierce deeply into Crystal's heart like a steel needle!As Theresa had said, Whitney's cold syndrome had flared up again after she got caught in the rain. Even the miracle doctors from Medcity had been unable to do anything. In the end, Sebastian had done acupuncture for Whitney and pulled her back from death's door. Although Crystal hated Sebastian because she felt that he ruined Whitney's bright future, the truth was that Sebastian was the only one who could make Whitney wake up in a short amount of time, just as Theresa had sai

    However, they were still friends, and Rosalie was happy to see her.Cecilia looked Sebastian up and down and walked thoughtfully over to Rosalie. She smiled and asked, "Rosalie, did you go back on your engagement for him? You've paid a high price!"The truth was that Cecilia admired Sebastian's medical skills greatly, but that wasn't enough to make up for everything that Rosalie had lost!After all, Rosalie had once been in control of half the Griffins' family fortune. She had money and status that Sebastian couldn't give her!Rosalie only smiled slightly and shook her head, saying, "That's not what I think. Perhaps in a very short time, Sebastian's accomplishments will surpass those of the entire Griffin family. "Besides, even if I hadn't met Sebastian, I would never agree to marry Stephen! Just like the way you would've rather die than marry Ronan Leyton because of Ethan Whitehall!" Cecilia couldn't help turning to look at Sebastian, but finally, she shook her head and said,

    "Isabella, our son is all grown up now," Samson whispered. "I wonder when our family can reunite…"His eyes misted over."Is Mom really in the Holy Grandia?" Sebastian's voice suddenly came from behind him. Samson hastily wiped away the tears in the corners of his eyes. He turned to look at Sebastian and exhaled as he smiled bitterly. "I don't know either," he replied. "After I kicked you and your mother out of the family back then, I was brought here. From that day on, this little area became my whole world."Hugo had been the one who had brought him the news of Isabella attacking the Ballard Estate with experts from the Thorne family. In the end, the condition of the truce between the Ballards and the Thornes was that Hugo would be allowed to stay at the Ballard Estate and ensure Samson's safety.Apart from that, Samson had no other news of Isabella. Sebastian walked over and sat down in the chair opposite Samson. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of fragrant tea f

    Sebastian exhaled softly and pointed at the technique he had just handed to Whitney. He said, "If you can memorize this technique within three days, I can teach you."The technique Sebastian had given her was a basic introduction to the martial arts. It was also a basic technique for mystic arts practitioners, but it would let someone of Whitney's disposition become a sage even more quickly.That meant that Whitney had the advantage over ordinary Warriors. It was Sebastian's final favor to her."Alright! I'll recite it to you tomorrow morning!" Whitney said firmly, clenching her fists tightly. Sebastian smiled and nodded. He stood up and said, "It's getting late. You should get to bed soon. I'll get going now."Upon seeing that Sebastian was leaving, Whitney got up quickly and grabbed hold of him. "Can't you stay?" she asked.After their divorce, Whitney had never spent any time alone with Sebastian. Even at the convenience store, Rosalie had always been with them.It was a r

    Whitney smiled bitterly, but tears spilled down her cheeks. She said to Sebastian, her voice choking up with emotion, "I see that I was in the wrong all along. But… but it wasn't that I didn't trust you, it's just that—"Sebastian took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to her. He said calmly, "Actually, you were just blinded by the false fame and power of the world."In your heart, you feel that only money can prove a person's worth. In terms of wealth, I'm just a lazy and complacent dolt when compared with those so-called successful people."Sebastian's words seemed to cut Whitney like a knife. It wasn't all her fault. After all, historically, most people used money to measure the success of a person. Otherwise, why would there be the saying of how no one remembered the poor, but everyone showed up for the rich?"The truth is that all those wealthy heirs are worth even less than a dog to the Warriors and the mystic sects. "I don't fight with the people of the worl

    Whitney perked up at Sebastian's question. "It's all because you ran into the two monsters that day," she said. "I saw it on the surveillance footage. That was when I realized that the two women living in the store don't have that kind of relationship with you…"Whitney had never asked, and Sebastian hadn't bothered to explain who Nina and Lyanna were. That was why she had mistakenly thought that both of them were Sebastian's lovers as well.Realization had only dawned on her when she heard Nina address Sebastian as her master, even in her dying breath. Whitney had seen how powerful Nina was that day and how she had been willing to die in order to protect Sebastian.Nina and Lyanna weren't Sebastian's lovers. They were his servants. Not only that, Nina was a thousand-year-old giant snake!That had completely changed Whitney's view of the world. Although there had always been legends of mystical beings and ghosts, Whitney was an accomplished businesswoman who believed firmly in sc

    Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head. "I'm not from the Ballard Estate," he said. "My name is Sebastian, and it's better if my cousin weren't seen around me too much.""Oh, you're Sebastian."The two young women breathed a long sigh of relief. They looked him up and down for a long time before exchanging a glance. Then, they covered their faces and giggled.One of them stepped forward and said, "Come with me. Honestly… you seem pretty normal. I don't get why Ms. Sutton is yearning for you so much."Sebastian cleared his throat awkwardly and said nothing.The young woman led Sebastian into the house, where Whitney was sitting and reading a book intently. She said, "Ms. Sutton, look who's here."Whitney put down her book and looked up. When she saw Sebastian behind the young woman, she was both surprised and delighted. She got up and threw herself into Sebastian's arms."Sebastian, is it really you?"The young woman covered her face and chuckled before leaving the room sile

    Sebastian watched Andreas leave and exhaled deeply. Preston wasn't the only one he didn't trust. No one in the Ballard Estate was worthy of his trust, including Andreas.Once Andreas had completely disappeared, Sebastian beckoned to the woods in the distance and said, "Come out!"In a flash, Duo appeared at his side. "My lord, why didn't you wipe out those people in the hall today?" he asked.Duo clenched his fists tightly, and there was a murderous look simmering in his eyes. Although he hadn't been in the hall, he had clearly heard everything the Ballards had said.Anyone who disrespected his master deserved death!Besides, neither Sebastian nor Duo would have had to lift a finger to kill them. All they had to do was to crush the Tribulation Avoidance Charm and trigger the divine tribulation. Once it descended, no one in the hall would have lived to tell the tale, including Arnaud."If we become hostile with the Ballards, it'll be almost impossible for us to leave in peace. Now

    "It all comes back to Uncle Samson," Andreas said. "Great Uncle Arnaud already told you he'd let Uncle Samson have his freedom if you find the other emerald token, but then he brought up the marriage alliance. "It directly affects whether or not Uncle Samson can regain his freedom. So, why don't you think about it?"With a quiet chuckle, Andreas walked toward a grove of peach trees to the west.Realization finally dawned on Sebastian. Arnaud was a shrewd man. He wouldn't slip up like that. Besides, although the Ballards and the Yeomans had established a marriage agreement, they hadn't named specific individuals, only that the Blessed Child of the Ballards would fulfill it.The Blessed Child bore the duty of guiding the Ballards to revival. In other words, the emerald token would be better off falling into the Blessed Child's hands rather than anyone else's.Could it be that the final emerald token was with the Yeomans? If that were true, why hadn't the Ballards used their pow

    "I'm sorry, but I have no interest in becoming the head of the Ballard family," Sebastian said impassively. "I only want my father to be freed."Arnaud's expression changed slightly, but his tone remained neutral as he said, "It's Braxton who owes you and your mother, not the entire family. Why must you do this?"Sebastian let out a cold snort. It was true that Braxton had been the one who had kicked them out, but weren't the true culprits the elders of the Ballard Estate?"If there's nothing else, I'd like to see Whitney," Sebastian said, rising slowly to his feet. As soon as he mentioned her name, Arnaud waved a hand at him and said, "Don't be in such a rush, Sebastian. Whitney is safe. The Ballards would never harm a frail woman."He added, "However, there's something I want to ask you. Is Whitney still your wife?"Sebastian frowned. "Whether she is or isn't, what business is that of the Ballards?""Of course it is," Arnaud replied firmly. "The Ballards and the Yeomans of

    Arnaud led Sebastian into a secret room deep within the Hall of the Ancestral Dragon. Once inside, Sebastian saw a Cosmic Orbit Diagram. It was exactly the same as the records in the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals.However, the Ballards' Cosmic Orbit Diagram was divided into different sections. It looked even more three-dimensional."This is the Cosmic Orbit Diagram passed down through our family for generations," Arnaud said proudly. "The one that the Sacred Medicine Society has is just a copy."The legacy of the mystic arts in Dramon almost all came from the Ballards.The Ballards had withheld some things back then as well. As a result, all the legacies of the various secular sects only had incomplete Cosmic Orbit Diagrams. It was why there were very few experts at the fifth level of the Eldoria realm and above.Afterward, Arnaud led Sebastian into a library. Thousands of technical legacies lined the shelves. Sebastian flipped through them. The techniques recorded there were
