Chapter 93 26 55 vouchers "What do you think, Mr. Gray?" Stella asked calmly, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to Sebastian. Sebastian's pale, almost sickly handsome face showed no emotion, cold and distant as ever. He remained silent, but his eyes lingered on Stella's sun-kissed cheeks. The messy bun she'd thrown up at an angle softened her usual icy vibe. Allan chuckled, "Sebastian would never answer such a silly question." "Eggie," Sebastian said flatly, biting into his popsicle, instantly proving Allan wrong. Allan was stunned. "Eggie?" Stella raised an eyebrow.

As if sensing its name, Snowball, all fluffy and cute, let out a soft, babyish chirp. Snowball curled itself up into a big, miserable ball, looking like it had given up on life. It was just an innocent, good little snake, but because it couldn't resist a snack, it lost its good reputation. It could only whimper in frustration. "No way, that name is just too funny." Allan had just finished his sentence when Stella started laughing. "It's actually pretty good. Cute," Stella said." Lucas nodded enthusiastically, giving a big thumbs-up. Allan wondered, 'Are you guys for real?

Can your whole family pick someone else to mess with? Why is it always me? With the way you all fleece people, any fat sheep that lands on Sandridge Island wouldn't have a single hair left!' www Lucas blinked his big eyes, suddenly remembering something. He tugged on Stella's sleeve. He was asking about that phone call. "I'm heading to Pierce Manor in a bit," Stella said calmly, gently wiping the sweat from Lucas's rosy little cheeks. "The Pierce Manor?" Allan perked up, glancing over at Sebastian. Sebastian's lips pressed into a thin line, his brows drawing together in a stormy scowl.

Lucas tugged on her sleeve again, putting on his cutest face. 'I wanna go, too!' Lucas cheered inwardly. "I'm going, too!" Allan shot his hand up, not bothering to be polite. "What about you, Sebastian?" "I've got things to do," Sebastian replied, his face icy, voice sharp as á blade, leaving no room for argument. Lucas, Allan, Snowball, Eggie, and Big Ben all grinned.

***** An hour later, at the entrance of Pierce Manor, the moment he spotted the black Maybach rolling up, Blake, who'd been kicked out by Kendrick ages ago to wait for Stella, shoved his phone into his pocket, grinning from ear to ear.

Before Blake could even work up the nerve to peek again, the Maybach's back window started rolling down slowly. Sebastian fixed him with a cold, piercing look, eyes deep and unreadable. 'Why the heck is Mr. Gray in the car?' Blake freaked out, totally thrown off.

The passenger window slid down too, and Allan popped his head out, wearing a sympathetic look. "Hey!" Blake stiffly pulled out his phone and called Kendrick. "Stella is here." Three minutes later, Kendrick hurried out of the villa, but the moment he saw the man sitting in the wheelchair, radiating an icy chill, his smile froze on his face. He turned his head stiffly to glare at Blake, eyes full of menace. 'Why didn't you say Mr. Gray was coming, too?' Kendrick fumed inwardly. Allan, standing behind Sebastian, gave a little cough, but Sebastian didn't even spare him a glance.

Lucas hopped out of the car, clutching something in his arms, his chubby little face all serious. Today, Lucas had put on his most serious little black suit and a tiny bow tie. Standing next to Sebastian, it was like the demon king and his mini-me had teamed up! Stella was the last to step out, her expression unreadable as she watched Sebastian's back. Stella honestly thought Sebastian had something important to do, but when John drove up, and she opened the door, there was Sebastian sitting in the back seat. "M-Mr. Gray, what an honor!

Sorry for not welcoming you properly," Kendrick stammered. www. Before Kendrick could finish, Lucas, his angelic little face all serious, walked right up to him, clutching something in his arms. 116581/8 Kendrick stared down at Lucas, while Lucas tilted his head up, meeting Kendrick's gaze without flinching. Thirty seconds passed. "Lucas," Sebastian said gravely, his voice deep and commanding. Lucas put all his strength into raising his little arm, wobbling as he held up the sealed canvas. Kendrick just stared, dumbfounded. 'What does that even mean?' he thought.

"I barged in uninvited, which was quite rude of me. This is my apology. Please accept it, Mr. Pierce," Sebastian said, his voice icy and formal. His black shirt was buttoned to the very top, every detail immaculate, chillingly restrained, yet strangely magnetic. Even though Sebastian was offering an apology, his whole vibe was more like some ancient regent who could wipe out a family without blinking. Kendrick bent down, his hands shaking as he took the heavy canvas from Lucas. Sebastian kept his gaze fixed on Kendrick. took 16:04 Thu, Jan 22 Chapter 93 55 vouchers 'Why is Mr.

Gray still staring at me?' Kendrick thought, feeling even more confused. 'Didn't I already accept it? What's he waiting for?' Allan, seeing how everyone from Kendrick to the butler and even the servants looked absolutely terrified, finally stepped in to help. "What Sebastian means is, aren't you going to open it and see what's inside?" "Oh, right!" Kendrick didn't hesitate and immediately opened it. The moment he saw what was inside, his eyes went wide in shock. 'Isn't this gift a bit too much?' Kendrick thought, his heart pounding.

'I don't know if my heart can take this!" If Kendrick wasn't mistaken, this was the legendary painting that had been snatched up at Christen's Auction House for 40 million dollars just half a year ago. Back then, Kendrick had secretly wondered who could possibly drop that kind of cash. 40 million was no joke! But now, 40 million was actually sitting in Kendrick's hands. Kendrick's face was falling apart. "Kendrick," Blake had barely blurted it out before he felt that familiar, lazy stare land on him; he didn't even need to look to know who it was.

Instantly, he switched gears and said obediently, "Grandpa." Blake whispered, "Uh, Stella and the rest are still waiting at the door, you know." "What, you don't like it?" Sebastian barely moved his lips, his face a mask of indifference. Lucas turned his head, too. Both of them were pure ice. "I love it! Please, come in!" Kendrick practically hugged his treasure to his chest and hurried aside to let everyone in. Allan instinctively reached out to push Sebastian's wheelchair, but Sebastian's icy stare cut him off before he even got close. Allan froze, not daring to move.

"Stella, you push!" Allan called out, shoving his hands in his pockets. He just played the hands-off manager, dumping all the work on Stella. Stella rolled her eyes. As soon as they stepped through the front gate, a wave of delicious aroma drifted through the courtyard. Stella stopped in her tracks, taking in the scent as she glanced around Pierce Manor's grounds. Lucas noticed her pause and looked up at her, wide-eyed and totally innocent, his frosty little act for the Pierces was nowhere to be seen. Lucas blinked up at her, puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Sebastian noticed something was off and asked. AD Comment Send gift No Ads 16:04 Thu, Jan 22 chris jorden
