Sabrina turned and saw a bejeweled woman dressed very elegantly and smartly. That woman was Sebastian's stepmother, Rose.
Rose spoke. "Sebastian! I rarely interfere with your matters. I feel that being a stepmother who did what I've done, I'm considered to have given you enough respect already."
Sebastian did not respond. His wife and child were arguing with Frost at the door for so long, but Sebastian did not make a sound. This was because his wife and child were not at a loss. It was Frost who had gotten two slaps. At this moment, the real boss has finally come. Sebastian looked at Rose. In the past, when Rose addressed herself as his stepmother, Sebastian had not objected much. After all, she was his father's wife. It was Sebastian who had killed his elder brothers. However, after this trip to Star Island, Sebastian understood that there was no way for the grudge between him and Rose to be resolved.
If time were to turn back to twenty years ago, to when his mother had not passed away, and if Sebastian and Holden had not been separated by distance, and if the three of them had always been together, then where would perhaps be a possibility to resolve this grudge. However, it absolutely would not be possible anymore.
"Rose Quinton!" Sebastian called out coldly.
Rose was startled. "You! What did you call me?"
"Rose Quinton!" Sebastian repeated himself once more.
Rose glared at him. "Sebastian! I have never treated you badly! My few sons had all lost their lives because of you, but did I resent you?"
Sebastian said calmly, "Firstly, those sons of yours, who are also my elder brothers, have all wanted to end my life. In fact, under you and my dad’s command, they were so close to succeeding. Seven years ago, if I had not been prepared beforehand, then I would be the person who would have been dead by now. Have I ever taken the initiative to attack my biological brothers?"
Rose was speechless. Sebastian indeed was right. No matter how two-faced and vicious he was, he has never taken the initiative to harm his biological brothers. On the contrary, it was her good-for-nothing sons who kept wanting to kill Sebastian over and over again. They had never expected that Sebastian actually had some tricks up his sleeves. Not only did Sebastian successfully retaliate against his few elder brothers, but he also took over the whole Ford Group.
Rose had no choice but to agree. She smiled ruefully." Sebastian, if you truly did take the initiative to kill your brothers, do you think I will still keep calling you Sebastian like now? I could kill you even if I had to bite!"
Sebastian was as calm as usual. "Therefore, you actually don't hate me?” "I don't hate you," Rose said gently.
"Do you want me to be grateful for you?” asked Sebastian again.
Rose answered miserably. "Shouldn’t you? I have treated you quite well, and have never treated you badly! As for you not being able to enter the Ford residence when you were a child, and you were living i n exile abroad with your mother, that was because the Ford family had always had such a family rule. These rules were not set by me! Besides, Sebastian, you're already married and have a wife now. May I ask which wife could accept her own husband looking for other women out there, and even giving birth to a child with a woman!” Rose was choked up when she said that. 1
Because of this matter of her husband, Rose had endured grievances her whole life. Not only that, but her sons had also lost their lives because of this. What else do they want from her? What else do they want her to do?
Seeing Rose so worked up, Sebastian had thought that Rose must have been holding it back for a very long time. Until now, after she and Sebastian's dad were repeatedly harassed by that anonymous man, Rose's patience was about to explode. It was good that she exploded!
Sebastian had been waiting for it!
