Chapter 21

Everyone in the hall was thunderstruck.In an instant, all eyes turned toward the corner where Sebastian sat.Their gazes varied between shock, doubt, fury, disdain, and revelry.Who was he?What gave him the nerve to say something like that during such an important occasion? Did he have a death wish?Even Rosalie shrank back timidly. She did not like the feeling of being stared at by so many people.She crept nearer to Sebastian and tugged on his shirt while muttering, "Watch what you say, Dr. Ballard. That's Mr. Whitaker Senior. He's from the state capital. Even my family, the Griffins, have to treat him with respect …"Meanwhile, Isabel, who was standing beside Nathan, immediately recognized Sebastian.Her eyes flickered in bewilderment.What was he doing here?She too, thought it was brave of him to say such a thing in front of Nathan.Isabel frowned as she tried to find a way to excuse Sebastian's actions.Meanwhile, after hearing what Sebastian said, Whitney was stunn

Chapter 22

Everyone in the hall started murmuring among themselves.When they heard Whitney mentioning the divorce, they realized that Sebastian was once her husband.They knew her husband. He was the one who founded Frostwave Corporation three years ago and became known as the talented entrepreneur who was the most capable young man in Steinberg.But two years ago, he started retreating from Steinberg's business world. No one ever spoke of him again. If Whitney had not brought it up, they would not have even recognized him.It was rumored that Sebastian, the previous CEO of Frostwave Corporation, became obsessed with the mystical arts. He had abandoned the company and started a small shop doing fortune telling and geomancy readings instead. The crowd figured the rumors were true after all.Most of the people present knew about Sebastian's past fame.But now, he seemed like an entirely different person.He was an aimless loser who spoke irresponsibly to sway the crowd.By now, everyone

Chapter 23

Everyone inside the hall fixed their eyes on Nathan. They wanted to see his reaction after eating the Goldcrow pill.Isabel also crouched down and asked in concern, "How do you feel, Grandpa?"Nathan smiled faintly and said, "I think it worked. My body feels a lot lighter, and my chest feels less stuffy. The persistent pain is gone too, and my mind feels clearer. The Goldcrow pill is indeed effective."As soon as he said that, all the guests became agitated!The Goldcrow pill was a miracle cure!Now that even Nathan had voiced his support for it, the pill would certainly have a huge impact on Steinberg's pharmaceutical industry!After hearing Nathan's words, Whitney's heart settled back in place. She exhaled in relief.Thanks to this event, the Goldcrow pill had made its mark!Whitney was starting to imagine what it would be like when Frostwave Corporation became the top pharmaceutical industry in Steinberg.Mabel was also thrilled. Her eyes were filled with pride."We did it

Chapter 24

Mabel hastily helped Whitney up from the floor as she cried out, "W-What should we do now Ms. Sutton? If something happens to Mr. Whitaker Senior, we're done for! It'll all be over for us …"Someone from the crowd cried out, "Sebastian was right …"Sebastian?Upon hearing his name, Whitney froze and stared out the entrance."Ms. Sutton, I'm sure Sebastian's behind this! He's the one who gave me the formula. He did it on purpose. He wants to harm you and the entire Frostwave Corporation!" Mabel declared in fury. After realizing the situation, she quickly shoved all the blame onto Sebastian without mentioning all of his repeated warnings."Is it really him?" Whitney said hesitantly.Based on her understanding of him, she thought that even though they were divorced, he would not do this to hurt her.She believed that even though he had become something of a loser in the last two years, he was still a decent person."Ms. Sutton, how can you still trust that bastard at a time like t

Chapter 25

Whitney froze briefly before letting out a bitter laugh and saying, "So, this is what you're truly after, isn't it?"Sebastian frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?""Hah. Now that things have come to this, why bother pretending? Didn't you plan all this just to humiliate me in front of all those influential people? Wasn't it just so that I would beg you for help and satisfy your disgusting selfishness?"Whitney continued to laugh bitterly as she wiped her tears away.She could not figure out why the man she had been with for three years would treat her like this.Sebastian could not stop himself from raising his brows.So, this was how she thought of him.Everything he had done for her the last three years—all of his efforts and contributions—had been for nothing!"Is that what you think of me?" Sebastian asked as he stared at Whitney with a serious gaze.Whitney did not reply, but her icy expression conveyed her answer.Sebastian snorted self-deprecatingly and shook

Chapter 26

Isabel's expression turned grim as she frowned.Sebastian swiftly declared, "If Mr. Whitaker Senior doesn't wake up in five minutes, I'll take full responsibility for everything!""Alright! You said so yourself. This has nothing to do with Whitney," Fergus proclaimed as he sneered to himself."It has nothing to do with her," Sebastian said coldly.Whitney and Mabel just so happened to come in at this time, and when Whitney heard what Sebastian said, her expression changed.Fergus quickly clambered over to Whitney and said eagerly, "You heard him, Whitney. Sebastian's taking full responsibility for the situation. If anything happens to Mr. Whitaker Senior, it won't have anything to do with you. You don't have to worry anymore.""Thank you so much, Mr. Cobb," Mabel said quietly.Everything would be fine if the situation had nothing to do with Whitney and Frostwave Corporation.It was just as well that the bastard Sebastian took all the responsibility for what happened!However,

Chapter 27

Nathan immediately opened his eyes. His body felt completely relaxed, and the tightness in his chest was gone. There was also a warm sensation throughout his body."I'm fine," Nathan assured her with a smile.Isabel wiped her tears away and exhaled in relief. Then, she quickly turned to Sebastian and said, "Thank you so much, Dr. Ballard."Sebastian smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing."All the guests were flabbergasted.They did not expect Sebastian to be a medical expert.Standing among the crowd, Fergus had an unpleasant expression. The words he said earlier were still ringing in his ears. It was now a slap in his face."Thank you so much, Dr. Ballard. I will never forget this. If you ever need anything, feel free to get in touch with me or Izzy." Nathan thanked Sebastian with a nod.Sebastian returned to gesture and said, "You're too kind, Mr. Whitaker Senior. On account of your great contributions to the country and your efforts to protect the safety of all citizens, I

Chapter 28

"What are you implying?" Sebastian asked with a darkened expression.Fergus sneered and said darkly, "What am I implying? Why is the Goldcrow pill only effective when combined with your acupuncture technique? Why is it poisonous otherwise? Who do you think would believe your words?"In an instant, the crowd started murmuring among themselves.Meanwhile, Whitney was uncomfortable to see Sebastian defending Rosalie.In the past, he only belonged to her.Noticing the muttering crowd, Fergus gained more confidence. He tugged on his suit jacket before scoffing. "What's the matter, Sebastian? Aren't you going to explain yourself to everyone?""Why should I explain myself?" Sebastian asked indifferently."Haha! I'm guessing you can't think of an explanation, huh?"Fergus chuckled before shouting to Nathan, "Mr. Whitaker Senior, I think this punk set the whole thing up! He did it on purpose just to get close to you and earn your gratitude!"Before Nathan could say anything, Isabel wal

Chapter 29

In an instant, the hall went silent.Whitney's expression was extremely unpleasant.She did not expect Sebastian to be this staunch and merciless.Even though she was pleading with him, he refused to back down.He was not like that in the past.Did the divorce change him?"Must you be so heartless, Sebastian?" Whitney asked.Sebastian snorted before retorting with a piercing gaze, "Let me ask you this, Ms. Sutton. If I had failed to save Mr. Whitaker Senior today, and Fergus seized the chance to ruin me, would you be pleading for mercy on my behalf too?""I …" Whitney could not answer. Her eyes flickered.Sebastian laughed mockingly before saying, "Don't bother answering. Your hesitation tells me everything I need to know. So, why should I let Fergus off the hook?"Frowning, Whitney had more to say, but Sebastian walked up to Fergus and looked down at him. Then, he raised his feet and said coldly, "My shoe's dirty, Mr. Cobb. Please lick it clean for me."Fergus was seething

Chapter 30

"Think whatever you want. My conscience is clear!" Sebastian declared icily.He was truly disheartened that Whitney had become someone who could not distinguish right from wrong."You're only saying that because you can't think of a way to defend yourself anymore!" Whitney fumed before running after Fergus.Mabel glowered at Sebastian before following Whitney.Sebastian took a deep breath to calm himself down."Are you okay, Dr. Ballard?" Rosalie asked worriedly.Sebastian nodded and said, "I'm fine. Join me for a walk.""Sure," Rosalie agreed with a playful smile.After saying a few words to Isabel and the others, Sebastian walked out of the hall and headed to the garden.The atmosphere in the hall made him feel stifled and annoyed.…Meanwhile, Whitney went after Fergus and called out, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Cobb. Let me apologize on Sebastian's behalf. I didn't expect him to be so unreasonable today."Fergus exhaled and said resentfully, "It has nothing to do with you, Ms. S
