Before he could process the rebuke, Old Mr. Blake grabbed a glass of ice water and threw it directly into Sebastian's face. The freezing shock buckled his knees, and Sebastian collapsed onto the marble floor, gasping for air.
"Look at yourself," his father spat in disgust. "Drunk, bleeding, and throwing a tantrum in the middle of the night. Is this how the CEO of the Blake Group behaves?

She is a world-class genius, yet when she stepped into this family, did she ever flaunt her brilliance?
