She consistently refused to yield, fueling his desire to obliterate her.


    He even tore apart the contract intended to safeguard Cherise from harm, the agreement between


    himself and Gwenn.


    Sebastian knew that Gwenn had kept Cherise close to witness the downfall of the Tanner Group and


    her parents‘ legacy and its transfer into her possession.


    However, Sebastian was always proud and aloof. Why should he sumb to Gwenn’s maniption?


    If he wanted to dismantle her ns, then he would do so without hesitation!


    Ynda instinctively took two steps back, her voice trembling. “You… you’re too terrifying.”


    Despite their disdain for Cherise, neither she nor Gwenn had ever entertained the notion of destroying


    her.


    But Sebastian’s words and actions were no jest!


    “You’re only realizing this now?” Sebastian sneered, his cold gaze briefly flickering towards Ynda.


    “You’ve been spoiled by the old man and your mother since childhood, sheltered from the world’s harsh


    realities.”


    With a slight smile, he continued, “It’s alright. I’ll educate you gradually.”


    Ynda fled in despair.


    She wanted no part in learning about such things or understanding these so–called rules!


    Before departing Adania, Ynda made her way to the research institute to meet with Mr. Whitlock.


    “Ms. Weiss, what a surprise to see you here,” Mr. Whitlock greeted her warmly.


    “Let’s not beat around the bush,” Ynda said, taking a deep breath.


    “I’m aware that you had conflicts with Damien and Cherise because of our actions. Are willing to


    reconcile with them?”


    With that che banded a unice recorder to Mr. Whitlock “Ladmit I was too nuerbearing in the


    Mr. Whitlock was taken aback. “This is…”


    It’s something that could help mend your rtionship with Cherise and Damien,” Ynda exined


    before leaving, muttering to herself, “My brother can be too intimidating…”


    The voice recorder had been ced under Sebastian’s bed as per in’s instructions.


    in also instructed her to find someone who could contact Cherise and Damien to ept the


    recorder because “This could save your life in a critical moment!”


    Initially reluctant, Ynda left the voice recorder out of curiosity, eager to hear what Sebastian might


    reveal.


    However, she never anticipated Sebastian openly expressing his thoughts and ns regarding Cherise


    in her presence.


    After listening to the recording, in smiled knowingly. “You must understand, Cherise is his favorite


    woman. If he treats his favorite woman this way, what about you? He’s never truly cared for you since


    childhood.”


    in’s words sent a chill down Ynda’s spine.


    Indeed.


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    Cherise remains Sebastian’s favorite woman, yet he can treat her in a callous manner.


    Then how would he treat her in the future?


    Determined, Ynda instructed Mr. Whitlock, “Don’t dy giving it to them.”


    Mr. Whitlock nodded. “I’ll contact Mr. Lenoir immediately!”


    He retrieved his phone and began dialing the number while Ynda observed, gradually feeling a


    sense of relief before departing.


    However, she didn’t anticipate Mr. Whitlock’s unsessful attempts to reach Cherise.


    After several failed calls, he simply ced the recorder in his office drawer.


    In the evening, Cherise finally noticed Mr. Whitlock’s missed call.


    Frowning, she returned the call promptly.


    “Mrs. Lenoir,” Mr. Whitlock greeted warmly. “I’ve left you several messages. I hope you remember me?”
