Sebastian finally decided to start a conversation, trying to bring Rachel out of her deep sadness. "Rachel," he said softly, "I know this is a difficult night for you. What happened at the Hidden Relics House was very unfair, and I'm truly sorry that you had to experience it."Rachel nodded with mixed feelings. "I don't know why they could be so cruel, Sebastian. I feel like everyone there has suddenly become a monster to me."Sebastian took Rachel's hair and stroked it gently. "People in this world can be so cruel sometimes, especially when they feel threatened or jealous. They try to bring us down to make themselves feel better. But you have to remember that you're not alone. I'm here for you, and I'm not going to let them hurt you anymore."Rachel appreciated Sebastian's words of support. "Thank you, Sebastian. I don't know what I would do without you."Sebastian smiled gently. "You don't need to thank me. Now, let's talk about something more cheerful. Have you ever seen this lake

In the afternoon, Sebastian received a call from Tony."Sir," Tony said, "I've just spoken to Jake Wilson, and he's agreed to come to your house for tea tomorrow. He's very excited to make your acquaintance."Sebastian smiled with satisfaction. "What a great news, Tony. Thank you for your help. Do you have other details?"Tony replied, "Wilson says his car ride will probably take 2 hours, given the distance between your house and his. But I have another suggestion, sir. What if we go to Luxington Airport and you can pick her up with your helicopter? That would save time and effort."Sebastian thought for a moment. The idea sounded efficient and also allowed him to show the luxury side of his business. "That's a good suggestion, Tony. Do it that way. I'll get the helicopter ready right now."After hanging up, Sebastian called Thomas, one of his trusted staff. "Thomas, we will have an important guest, Jake Wilson. Please prepare the helicopter to go to Luxington Hill. And more, I would

Julia continued, "One day, a young woman with a dozen bodyguards entered Grace's shop. Without further ado, they destroyed the entire contents of Grace's boutique and set fire to the expensive clothes there."At this point, it appeared that the wrinkles on Sebastian's forehead were growing."Before they left Grace's boutique, the young lady said that within seven days, all Bella Boutiques in the country must close." Julia wrung her fingers anxiously. "Sir, tomorrow is the last day of what she specified. We have prepared several trucks to pull all the goods into the warehouse and close our boutiques."Taking a sip of his wine, Sebastian looked at Julia and Grace calmly."Why didn't you report this matter to me earlier?" he asked later."Sir, we thought you wouldn't have enough time and attention to deal with such a small matter," Grace replied."What are you saying? I have a big mission to spread my dominance throughout the country. Everyone must respect the name Sebastian Cole." Sebas

That morning, Julia, Grace, and Rose left early to review the preparations at their respective boutiques.For the first time in their history, they decided to unite their forces and work together.At ten o'clock, they would gather at the biggest branch of Grace's Bella Boutique to announce the name change.However, until now, no one but the three of them knew the new name. In fact, Sebastian didn't know either.Thomas acted as their personal guard and driver, he asked Sebastian for permission to leave, "Sir, is it okay if I leave you now?"Sebastian nodded. "Yes. You go. Make sure they are all right.""Then, what about you?" Thomas asked once again."I can take care of myself."Thomas complied and left Sebastian's presence. He chose a limousine car large enough for the three girls to have enough personal space, Thomas still skeptical of the possibility of a fight between the girls. Knowing that they had already left, Sebastian couldn't help but smile wryly."After they leave, who's g

Sebastian had no idea about the real identity of the girl claiming to be Sophia Clark, so he immediately called Drake Falcon."Sir, I await your orders," Drake greeted."Give me some concise information about the brother Sophia Clark has.""Yes, sir. Please wait a moment, it won't take more than a minute."Thirty seconds later, Drake had done his job."Sir, Sophia Clark only has one sibling, she is a girl named Isabella Clark. Their age difference is not too far: only two years. In addition, they also have very similar looks.""Based on the data my team members managed to collect, Isabella had her freedom severely restricted by her older sister. She almost always covers her face when she leaves the house and refuses to get acquainted with anyone.""Sophia felt jealous of her sister's beauty, so she did that."Sebastian smiled with satisfaction as he said, "You're doing very well, Drake. Do you want me to give you another bonus?"Drake hurriedly said, "You don't have to do that again,
