Chapter 600 The Final Stand

Sebastian observed with a detached chill as their demeanor shifted from arrogance to obsequiousness in mere moments, a trace of mockery flickering through his eyes.

His position had been established with absolute clarity; his cards were laid on the table. Now, it was up to these old men to read the writing on the wall.

With that, Sebastian didn’t linger. He turned on his heel and exited the boardroom.

His thoughts had already drifted back to the master suite, wondering if his wife had awakened yet. His stride quickened unconsciously.

However, as he navigated the paved walkway leading toward the guest wing, he crossed paths with Teresa.

Teresa had clearly gone to great pains with her appearance today. She wore a simple, elegant cocktail dress, yet she had paired it with stilettos that boasted perilously thin, high heels.

She seemed ill at ease in the ensemble, wobbling unsteadily on the uneven flagstones. She hadn’t ventured far before her foot caught on an irregularity in the path, causing her ankle to twist violently.

“Ah!”

Teresa gasped, lost her equilibrium, and tipped awkwardly to one side.

Sebastian was standing within close proximity. Given his reflexes, it would have been effortless for him to reach out and steady her.

But the instant he saw her sway, a distinct frostiness entered his eyes.

Mindful of his status as a married man, he was adamant about maintaining an impeccable social distance from any woman other than Riley.

Therefore, Sebastian halted, stood his ground with an impassive expression, and chose to remain a detached spectator.

Teresa flailed her arm in mid-air and managed to clutch the armrest of a wooden bench by the roadside, sparing herself from a complete spill.

She straightened up with some difficulty, her face flushed with a mixture of pain and humiliation.

She glanced up, looking somewhat abashed, at the unresponsive Sebastian. “Sebastian… I apologize that you had to witness that.”

Saying this, she bent slightly, gingerly rubbing her already inflamed ankle. Her brow was tightly knit, and she emitted sharp hisses of pain through clenched teeth, clearly struggling to endure the discomfort.

Sebastian looked down at her and remarked indifferently, “If you aren’t accustomed to wearing them, why force yourself?”

Hearing him pose a question, a fleeting glint of gratification passed through Teresa’s eyes.

She lowered her gaze, assuming a look of resigned helplessness, and explained, “It was Grandfather’s idea. He
