Sebastian smiled and suggested, "Since you're feeling better, let's head home. This event isn't unfolding as per your plan, so there's no reason for us to stay here."Robert shook his head. "I can't simply walk away from this place. I'm the host, and if I leave, it could cast doubt on my membership in this clubhouse."Sebastian reiterated, "Mr. Kate, this clubhouse is no longer beneficial for you. They're a group of bullies who will only bring you more suffering in the future. You should seriously contemplate leaving this group."Bowing his head with heavy breaths, Robert responded, "I still have a small printing company in Luxington Hill that relies on support from this clubhouse. If I were to withdraw my membership, my company would face the risk of bankruptcy."Sebastian persisted, attempting to persuade Robert once more, "Mr. Kate, I understand your concern about your company, but don't forget about me. I can always provide assistance as long as you're willing to accept it."Altho
While the guests were still processing the information about Sebastian's true identity, Lawrence and Kenny, although looking pale, showed skepticism. They snapped at Sebastian confidently, accusing him of trying to bully them into fear."Do you believe that unveiling your fabricated identity will make us fear you, Sebastian? You're nothing more than an arrogant young man attempting to intimidate us!" Lawrence scolded with a sardonic laugh.Kenny, wasting no time, voiced his disbelief, "Don't get too far ahead of yourself, Sebastian. You won't scare us with tricks like this!"Sebastian simply smiled broadly, unfazed by their skepticism. Locking eyes with Lawrence and Kenny, he remarked, "You might not believe it now, but just wait. You'll see for yourselves."Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room changed. The lights dimmed, creating a more dramatic atmosphere. The clubhouse door opened, and a group of men with serious faces entered the room. They were the men of Lawrence who had yelled
Sebastian rubbed his chin as he pondered for a moment. He then said, "I was contemplating ordering you to harm your father-in-law, but—"Before Sebastian could continue, Lawrence cut him off, "You don't have to worry, Master Cole. I'll do it with pleasure!"On the other hand, Kenny could only curse loudly in his heart knowing that his son-in-law was trying to curry favor with Sebastian with his words, but he did not dare to make any comments knowing that his life would be in trouble if he dared to do such a thing.Sebastian shook his head gently as he continued, "I'm refraining from resorting to violence in front of my father-in-law. But if you dare to interrupt me again, I might change my mind."Lawrence realized his mistake, he whined again while slapping his lips a dozen times until they crumbled, "It's the fault of my rotten mouth! Please forgive me!"Sebastian kept talking, weighing his words carefully, "I considered what kind of punishment would match your actions. But seeing ho
Clutching the wine bottle with both hands trembling, Kenny swiftly removed the cork and commenced a rapid consumption. His pallid, contorted face mirrored the repulsion and unease induced by the unexpected encounter with a quality of wine he had never fathomed tasting. In a mere fifteen seconds, Kenny accomplished the feat of draining an entire bottle, concluding with a resounding belch.Simultaneously, Lawrence, his son-in-law, witnessed the unfolding spectacle with a visage of growing horror. His eyes then turned towards Sebastian, and with a hint of hesitation, he asked, "Master Cole, if you please, may I be granted leave to return home now?"Sebastian shook his head, a sardonic smile lingering on his lips. "In a mere five seconds, Lawrence, you shall receive a call that holds the destiny of your life in its balance," he declared.Initially incredulous, Lawrence furrowed his brow, but shortly after, the distinct ring of his phone resonated. Hesitatingly, he answered the call. The w
Amidst the ongoing business discussion, Dheon gently approached Sebastian, trying to deliver a report on Kenny's condition. He bowed his body slightly, giving a respectful bow before giving out information that might not be pleasant."He lost consciousness on the tenth bottle, Boss. Even after a few slaps from my men, he remained unconscious," Dheon said in a worried tone.Sebastian pondered for a moment, his sharp eyes remaining focused on the continuing business discussion. However, when Dheon asked if he wanted to stop the punishment, Sebastian shook his head firmly."No, let him finish his sentence. The insolent act against my father-in-law should not go unpunished," Sebastian said in a cold voice.Dheon swallowed, understanding that Sebastian would not tolerate offenses against his family. Then, Dheon asked sincerely, "What should I do, Boss?"Sebastian smiled slyly, thinking of the punishment that Kenny would have to endure. "Take him to the hospital. Tell him that he's been poi
Eleven o'clock in the evening had arrived, and the atmosphere in the clubhouse was easing after the earlier tension. Sebastian looked around with an expression that seemed unaffected by the previous incident. Meanwhile, the guests began to prepare to say goodbye.The clubhouse members, who had been worried about Sebastian's attitude after the incident with Robert, were relieved to see the host's unconcern. As if following Sebastian's example, they said their goodbyes respectfully.Robert, still harboring guilt, approached Sebastian. In an almost inaudible voice, he apologized for the incident. Sebastian casually nodded, signaling that it was all over.However, Sebastian did not forget to encourage Robert. "Don't think about it too much, Mr. Kate. We all have some awkward moments like that. The important thing is that we can learn from them." Sebastian smiled. "Besides, you don't need to feel guilty like this. It is my duty to eliminate any enemies that threaten those closest to me."
Sebastian stepped out of the car with steady steps, followed by Robert who was still checking his face in the car mirror. Before heading to the entrance of the mansion, Sebastian called Thomas, his chief personal assistant."Thomas, take this," Sebastian said as he thrust the voucher for dinner at Grandeur Springs into Thomas' hands. "You must not have eaten yet to serve me, right? Use this five-star restaurant voucher to enjoy some dinner there. You deserve it after all your hard work today."Thomas would not refuse a blessing given by the heavens, so he welcomed the voucher with a smile of gratitude. "Thank you, Master Cole. You're right that I'm starving, so I will very enjoy it."After presenting the voucher, Sebastian and Robert stepped towards the entrance of the mansion. They were confronted by the majestic beauty and luxurious aura of the huge building.However, before they could reach the entrance, Amanda was already standing there waiting. Her elegant face and sweet smile le
The next afternoon, the atmosphere at Skyzone Company felt more relaxed after some company business had been handled by Sebastian and Amanda. They left the office with light steps, entering a corridor crowded with workers who were hurrying home.Sebastian, having found relief in the successful resolution of the previous night's issue with Robert, bestowed a kind smile upon Amanda. "Now that it's all behind us, how are you feeling?" he inquired, his tone conveying genuine concern.Amanda, initially upholding a level of formality, reciprocated with a warm smile. "Sebastian, thank you. I was able to clarify everything with my mom, and surprisingly, she actually commended your courage," she revealed.Sebastian nodded in contentment upon hearing the positive update. Yet, his attention was swiftly redirected to the buzzing cell phone nestled in his pocket. Isabella, one of his personal assistants, conveyed her imminent arrival at Luxington Hill via helicopter to accompany Sebastian to the H
