â| didnât say you made it taste bad. | just...â She turned to look at Sebastian. âThereâs no need to make things difficult for him, right? Peopleâs tastes always change. | donât like this drumstick, but it doesnât mean itâs bad!â
âThen why donât you like it?â Sebastianâs narrow eyes were fixed on Cherise. âIs it because youâve changed your mind and moved on? Do you hate everything you liked in the past? Is that it?â Cherise was dumbstruck. Why is he making me sound like an unfaithful person?
Taking a deep breath, she looked up at Sebastian. âI came to the banquet today because we were classmates in the past. | donât care about how this drumstick tasted in the past or how it was back then.

He had a cruel, wicked expression on his face. There was no need for Cherise to continue talking to him! It wasnât worth it, even if it was for Damien! Taking a deep breath, she turned to look at him again. âYouâve changed.â

âIt's simple.â Sebastian looked up at Cherise. âI can return Damien's shares to him, but | have a condition.â Cherise pursed her lips, âWhat condition?â

Cherise sneered. âSo this was your idea all along.â She took a deep breath and turned, trying to slip past the two bodyguards, but they didnât let her leave so easily.
âSebastian, Iâm a doctor.â After struggling in vain, Cherise took a deep breath anor) asealveldrorn heg bagi "Mot 0 | know how to cure diseases, but | also know how to commit suicide to die in the shortest time. If you continue to pressure me, I'll take my life in front of you.â
