Sebastian suddenly felt a surge flooding his chest.
Nicholas noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to pat his back, helping him ease the discomfort. He then said to the four people in the room, "You all should go out first."
The four immediately obeyed and left.
Heaven knew that the energy Sebastian exuded was so powerful that staying in the same space with him wasn't something an ordinary person could endure.
In that instant, they admired Roxanne even more. She wasn't just dealing with a tiger; she was negotiating with one.
And looking at how Roxanne had approached winning over Sebastian, it was clear she had both courage and strategy. How could someone so smart not see that Sebastian's heart wasn't with her? If she had truly loved him, that would have been one thing. The key was, she had been after profit.
Why did she fight so hard?
Her courage was truly admirable.
After everyone left, Nicholas quickly tried to calm him down. "Stay steady. Control yourself. You can't get angry right now. You can't let your emotions fluctuate."
Sebastian struggled to stabilize his emotions. His chest heaved violently, and his mind felt like it was boiling over. Pain and regret twisted together, darkness and despair threatening to swallow him whole.
Listening to how they described and belittled Roxanne, he could barely breathe. Yet Roxanne had been enduring all of this, year after year.
