Sebastian fixed George with a gaze that could draw blood. “It seems you have vastly overestimated the worth of the Mildew family. Let me be clear: even if you offered me your entire legacy on a silver platter, I wouldn’t sparet a second glance. If you truly want this to end, the only solution is to deliver my fiancée al Leonard safely to me. Otherwise, we will continue this war of attrition–and we will see who breaks first.”
George leaned in, his eyes shimmering with a dangerous, unstable light. “I never took you for such a romantic, Mr. Whitmore. Are you not afraid of what might happen if you push me too far? I might do something we both regret.”
“Is that so?” Sebastian countered, his voice like a falling guillotine. “I’m actually quite curious to see who regrets this more. Will it be me, or will it be you, lamenting the day you were born?”
George stared at him, his face a mask of cold malice. “So, you’ve made up your mind to fight me to the bitter end.”
Sebastian offered a chilling laugh. “Is it not obvious? Let me tell you the truth, George: Lillian is the one line in this world you do not cross. You have provoked me repeatedly. Do you honestly think I would let that slide? Just wait. I have a grand gift prepared for you. Be sure to check it.”
George stood up and stormed out in a fit of silent rage. Sebastian watched his retreating figure, a dark, predatory smirk playing on his lips.
The moment George climbed into his car after leaving the hotel, his phone exploded with a call.
He answered, only to hear Arlo’s thunderous roar: “You degenerate! You’ve ruined Mildew Corp! Look at the news! Look at what you’ve done!” The line went dead before George could respond.
Frowning with impatience, George opened a news app. What he saw left him speechless.
The headline was plastered in bold, lurid font across every major site: “Mildew Corp President George Abducts Dracovian Student; Heinous Acts Exposed. Public Demands Answers.”
Below the headline was a detailed exposé of the entire kidnapping. Most damaging of all was a video clip of Gray. In the footage, Gray gave a meticulous, step–by–step confession, explicitly stating that he was acting under George’s direct orders.
To make matters worse, investigative journalists had unearthed the scandals from twenty years ago, using them as historical proof of a pattern of behavior.

“I can’t believe Mildew Corp would stoop this low. Imagine how much filth they’ve hidden over the years.”
“None of these elite families are clean, but this is next level. Mildew Corp is finished.”
“The drama just keeps coming with the Mildews. It’s better than a soap opera.”
“Let’s be honest–not one of those three Mildew brothers is a decent human being.”
George’s face contorted with rage as he scrolled. “That idiot Gray… he’s worse than useless.”
