"You wanna bet?" "I bet the wife of Skyline Corporation's president will only be me... Dare to take the bet?" "Stephanie, you're really full of yourself! What makes you think you can compete with Angelina Peck?" "You don't need to worry about whether I'm qualified or not, just tell me, do you dare to bet?" "What's the stake?" "If I win... you'll have to disappear from my life forever! Do you dare?" "And if I win? Stephanie, you'll leave B City, will you agree?" "Deal! It's settled then!" Rebecca was about to explode.
She couldn't believe Sebastian would embarrass her in front of so many people.
Being escorted out by security, she stood at the entrance, not rushing to leave.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo save dignity, she waited until everyone left and had her female bodyguard negotiate with the security of the auction house. She wanted to see Sebastian alone and talk to him.
Not long after, security let her in.
With her head held high and an arrogant expression, Rebecca walked into the auction house under everyone's gaze.
Sebastian was waiting for her on the sofa in the hall.
Seeing her coming, he said straight away: "The auction continues, but this will be the last charity event Ms. Snider hosts at Ingram family's venue." He was furious because he had just seen in the surveillance video Angela publicly stating that Stephanie was the Klein family's illegitimate daughter, and making things difficult for her, threatening to kick her out of the auction.
But... all this anger was soothed by Stephanie's words, "I'm here to pick a gift for my fiancé." So, the auction continued.
But he and Rebecca were still at odds.
Rebecca thought Sebastian had changed his mind, but after hearing Sebastian's words, her face darken, "Is President Ingram really going to be so ruthless?" Sebastian said calmly: "Ms. Snider should understand, three strikes and you're out! You thankedfor safely transporting Zachary abroad for treatment, but if you had any gratitude towards me, you wouldn't have embarrassed my Stephanie... Since you have chosen to act this way, you can't blme for being ruthless!" He couldn't bear to scold Stephanie in public, so he just chastised her privately.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRebecca took a deep breath and said, "President Ingram, considering the past relationship between the Ingram and Snider families, please retract your previous order. I will no longer make things difficult for Stephanie." Sebastian said indifferently: "I don't trust you."
"President Ingram helps people through thick and thin... Zachary's treatment abroad is very expensive......... I've already sold many of my assets, but the medical research institute needs a lot of money... I don't know how much longer I can hold on, since you were willing to help Zachary go abroad, can you helpthis time..." Sebastian sneered: "Ms. Snider, you make it sounds like the Snider family is owed something by us!"
He helped Zachary, not because of the old connections between then Ingram and Spider families, nor because of Rebecca, but because of Stephanie. Zachary is Stephanie's biological father... Rebecca is Stephanie's aunt, hence he secretly helped once.
But Rebecca showed no gratitude, she has embarrassed Stephanie three times.
Sebastian was really angry this time.
Thinking of Stephanie lowering her head in front of him... ngt daring to look him in the eye, Sebastian felt a pang of discomfort. X
