After the Wanderroot sap was diluted in water, it caused a fine, crawling itch when it touched Sebastian’s skin. As Noelle’s hand moved over his body, his lower abdomen tightened, heat rushing from his feet straight to his head, leaving him flushed all over.
“Honey, are you hot? I’ll turn the AC up a bit!”
Seeing how red he looked, Noelle assumed he was overheated and quickly raised the air- conditioning setting instead.
Lucas leaned against the side, his expression amused.
These two really are clueless when it comes to relationships.
One tries to act all smooth, pretending to be a dating expert, but honestly, she’s got no game at all. The other actually knows what he’s doing, but hasn’t got a clue how to flirt. Sebastian. really has it rough this time.
“Noelle, don’t stimulate him like that. If he gets too much stimulation now, it might nor work later,” Lucas said with a loaded tone.
“What?”
Noelle failed to catch on.
Sebastian immediately broke into a coughing fit
He was genuinely choking on Lucas’s words.
He sank his body slightly lower into the water to hide his embarrassment.
After an hour, the medicated bath ended. Sebastian hurried out of the tub to change, and Noelle was kicked out of the room by Lucas.
She tried to argue with Lucas, but he simply poked her forehead impatiently. “Noey, get out. You little pervert.”
Noelle stood in the hallway, and just then, Harlan called.
Noelle answered the call. “Hello, Harlan.”
“Boss… The Kains…” Harlan’s voice was heavy. “Something went wrong.”
Hearing this, Noelle straightened.

Harlan told Noelle about how the Kains had approached the Hallers. The Hallers were one of the top families in Kingstowne, and their current patriarch, Roman, was willing to help the Kains. With the Hallers stepping in, the Kain Group had sprung back to life.
All previous debts had been paid off, and Kain Group’s stock had stabilized.
“The Hallers?” Noelle repeated the name, narrowing her eyes dangerously.
What’s wrong with the Hallers? Why are they suddenly backing the Kains like this?
Heh…
The game is officially on now.
“Boss, it’s all my fault for not keeping an eye on him. I ended up messing up all your plans.”
Noelle’s voice was calm. “It’s fine. You’ve all worked hard these past few days. Go get some rest. There’s no need for you guys to watch the Kains for now.”
Jasper managed to get Roman on his side, which was impressive, but she had kept a backup plan.
She still had a huge surprise in store for Jasper.
In the room, Sebastian was getting changed.
Lucas was reading the news on his phone. “Sebastian, Jasper actually found the Hallers. Their current patriarch, Roman, is in Riverdale lately, and he seems to be looking for someone. Jasper was pretty clever to go after the Hallers.”
He’d also sent people to keep tabs on Jasper, so he found out right away whenever Jasper made a move.
“Noelle went through all that trouble and still go nothing in the end. Are you just going to let it slide?”
Sebastian buttoned his shirt all the way to the top and looked up, his voice calm. “She got nothing in the end? You really don’t know her.”
Noelle’s scheming and patience were far beyond that.
The real show hadn’t even started yet.

Lucas squinted. “Is there something you’re not telling me?”
Sebastian looked at him. “I’m changing. Get out.

Lucas refused to leave. “So what if you’re changing? We grew up together in diapers. I’ve seen everything there is to see. Remember how we even had contests to see whose was bigger?”
Sebastian was speechless.
Kain Group bounced back overnight.
Everyone thought Kain Group was about to go bankrupt, but they somehow got Haller Group to back them. All their debts were paid, and they even got a Twitter shoutout from Haller Group in support.
It was a total comeback–they turned the tables overnight.
All those companies that had wanted nothing to do with the Kain Group suddenly tried to cozy up to them again.
Jasper boldly blocked them all, vowing never to do business with them. Then, he called for a board meeting.
But strangely, not a single shareholder showed up.
“What’s going on?”
