"You have a very good talent, Isabella!" Sebastian clapped his hands. "I underestimated you by saying that before, I'm so sorry."Isabella shook her head quickly. Then she said uneasily, "You need not apologize, Master. You never underestimated me. If you didn't believe in my painting ability, you definitely wouldn't have built a gallery for me. So please do not say such things, or I will continue to feel guilty."Sebastian just smiled. "I bring you a good news, Isabella. Zhang Daqian's painting has returned and will soon be on display at Cole's Gallery."Isabella was quite surprised by that statement. But on the other hand, she was also confused. Isabella stared at Zhang Daqian's painting with widened eyes. "Master, why is that painting in your hands now? Didn't it already sell for the fantastic price of 200 million dollars?"Sebastian smiled and nodded. "True, but it seems that the new owner didn't treat this painting well, so I decided to take it back."Isabella was dumbfounded. "
Four minutes of flying quickly brought Thomas' helicopter into the Luxington Hill area. Thomas reported to Sebastian, "Master, do you want to land at Luxington Hill airport or directly over Cole's Gallery?" Given the small size of the helicopter, Sebastian ordered, "Go straight to Cole's Mansion, Thomas. We'll land on the street."Thirty seconds later, the helicopter was heading towards the gallery, and Sebastian could see a crowd of people in brightly colored vests gathering around Cole's Gallery. Thomas told him that it would be impossible to land on the street because of the crowd, but Sebastian ordered him to land anyway.As the helicopter got closer, the crowd was startled and scattered away from the streets in obvious fear. Sebastian jumped down from the cockpit quickly.Thomas hesitated for a moment, "Master, perhaps I should stay here with you. Things don't look safe down below."Sebastian insisted, "I've faced far more perilous situations than this, Thomas. Depart immediatel
All the policemen there immediately lowered their guns in fear. They had wanted to do that all along, but they never dared without orders from their captain.The police captain asked Dheon, "Master Bennet, can you enlighten me on what I did wrong that you believe my leg deserves to be broken like this? I will make every effort to rectify it!"Without hesitation, Dheon promptly stomped on the police captain's broken leg. He said angrily, "You're still wondering what you did wrong? You prawn brain! You pointed a gun at Sebastian Cole, who has a very close relationship with the head of the Dragon Alliance!"Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Dheon had done his best to find a reason why he and his troops were protecting Sebastian directly.If it wasn't for Dheon's words, people would start to suspect that he was the chairman of the very mysterious Dragon Alliance."Master... Master Bennet, I didn't know this before." The police captain's entire body trembled violently in ex
While Dheon called the police to take care of the remaining extremist environmentalists, Sebastian entered the museum and saw the chaos that had taken place there.He shook his head several times with a pitying look on his face.He saw that all the paintings that had been targeted for vandalism were Isabella's artworks.Some of them were still protected by frames, but not a few were completely damaged.Sebastian could also see Isabella looking at her paintings with tears in her eyes. He decided to walk over to the girl and put his arm around her shoulders."All this must be very hard for you," Sebastian said. "I regret not putting more guards in the gallery. I thought everything would go beautifully, just like the other days."Isabella wiped away the tears that were gently rolling down her cheeks, not wanting to show her weak side in front of the master.The beauty said, "You don't need to harbor any regrets, Master; no one could have predicted events like this. Besides, I'm unharmed.
Sebastian returned to his mansion at six o'clock and went straight to see Robert.The man looked ready in the classic blue suit prepared by his wife."Sebastian, you're finally back!" Robert breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you forgot your promise to me tonight."Sebastian smiled and replied, "I couldn't possibly forget my promise, Mr. Kate.""Hey, since you're going to be acting as my son-in-law, you can't keep calling me that way," Robert said. "Now, call me 'Dad' or 'Father'.""Father?" Sebastian furrowed his brow. He was never used to calling someone who wasn't his father that."Please don't take offense, but this is absolutely necessary," Robert responded. "It's quite common for a son-in-law to call his father-in-law that, isn't it?""That's true, but...""Come on, Sebastian. Just do me a favor tonight. I won't trouble you in the future," Robert pleaded.Sebastian let out a long breath. It looked like he had no other options. He said, "Alright, Mr. Kate. Err, I mean... Dad."
Sebastian didn't wait any longer to meet Robert downstairs."Sebastian, you're dressed nicely. Come on, let's go now before it's too late." Robert became very happy when Sebastian came to him in a neat and quite expensive-looking suit.Appearance-wise, the young man did not disappoint him.However, it was Sebastian's next words that made Robert very disappointed."I'm sorry, Mr. Kate, but I have a very urgent matter. I don't think I can go with you," Sebastian said with a heavy heart.Robert's tone fell as he asked, "What kind of interest is it? Didn't you promise me earlier?""I didn't break your promise, Mr. Kate. I just couldn't leave with you on time." Sebastian tried to explain in the best way he could. "You'll be leaving by helicopter now, while I'll be taking a faster jet after I finish my business. I may arrive late, but I'm sure it won't be more than fifteen minutes after the clubhouse meeting opens."Robert was still disappointed. If his son-in-law arrived late, it would cre
After a forty-five-minute helicopter flight, Robert finally landed on top of The Golden Palace.The restaurant did have a helipad right on its roof, as most of the customers were from the upper class who sometimes visited the restaurant by helicopter.Robert's arrival was already on their schedule, so now a number of waiters in special Diamond Class outfits were waiting for him there."Welcome to The Golden Palace, Mr. Robert. I'm Adam, the head waiter of this restaurant, and I'll be delighted to serve you," said a middle-aged man with professionalism and respect. "Your Diamond room is ready; may I escort you there?"Robert nodded his head, then replied, "Of course, please lead the way."Adam stepped forward, signaling the other servants to carry Robert's luggage. As they made their way to the Diamond room, Adam struck up a skillful conversation."Mr. Robert, we are deeply honored to have you at The Golden Palace. This restaurant has been serving since 1975, and throughout that time,
Kenny couldn't help himself this time. Mr. Qian was a very influential person in the Luxington Clubhouse, all the members had a special respect for him.If he dared to openly oppose Mr. Qian here, he would make numerous enemies among the other clubhouse members.So, Kenny said with a bland laugh, "Mr. Qian, I was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously? Hahaha."Andy Qian just shook his head. He knew that Kenny had long held a grudge against Robert after his son's love was flatly rejected by Amanda. In every way, Kenny was eager to push Robert to the bottom.However, since Andy didn't want to spoil the atmosphere any further, he said, "Robert, since you're already here, why don't you escort us to our meeting room?"Robert nodded. "Hop on the VIP elevator, guys. The Diamond Class room is on the top floor."All the core members of the clubhouse along with their sons-in-law did not wait any longer to make their way to the VIP elevator.Robert was initially worried that the elevat
