Chapter 865 Sibling Strategies

“Why the charade of being virtuous?”

“A hypocrite!”

Sebastian lounged on the car’s leather seat, a sardonic smile on his lips. “I merely

suggested to afford myself a suitable pretext to encounter her once more.”

Yolanda arched an eyebrow. “So, you used me?”

“You’re my sister; who else would I employ?”

Sebastian’s smile remained light as he gave a black card to Yolanda nonchalantly. “Five

hundred thousand, and this affair concludes.”

“Fair enough.”

Yolanda pursed her lips, stashing the black card away before fixing Sebastian with a direct

gaze. “Do you genuinely fancy that Cherise?”

Sebastian raised a discerning brow. “Indeed.”

“I hold no fondness for her.”

Yolanda’s lips formed a thin line. “Even if she parts ways with Damien in the future and

aligns with you, I shan’t coexist with her harmoniously.”

“I’ve no need for your concord with her.”

Sebastian chuckled softly, his gaze drifting into the distance with a profound air. “You’ve

yet to elucidate your motive for pilfering her manuscript.”

“Why steal her work and level plagiarism accusations in a field foreign to you, medicine?”

“I had no alternative.”

Yolanda sighed, casting him a resentful glance. “It was Gwenn’s demand.”

“If I spurn her request, do you think she’d acquiesce to Tristan, of the Lenoir lineage,

hastily selling Lenoir Group shares to us at a discount?”

“You’re aware since Lenoir Group usurped Damien, it’s been the most rapidly burgeoning

entity in Adania. Many vie for control of the Lenoir Group. Will we be next in line?”

“But I must acknowledge Damien’s acumen is genuinely commendable. I never fathomed

1/3

his handsomeness…”

Observing Yolanda’s enamored countenance, Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Besides his appearance, is your eagerness to lay claim to Damien rooted in his business

acumen?”

Yolanda faltered, realizing her misstep.

Swiftly, she averted her gaze. “Primarily due to his allure!”

“Well, I’m not averse to a contest.”

Sebastian’s smile softened as he gazed out the car window. “I’m cognizant of my sister’s

desire to find a business rival, ensuring the Weiss dynasty isn’t solely within my purview

henceforth.”

Yolanda’s complexion drained of color. “I never contemplated such matters.”

“It’s inconsequential.”

“Now that you’ve targeted Damien, I’m content to await his ascent to becoming my

brother–in–law, thereafter engaging in competition.”

“May the superior man prevail. If I falter, it simply signifies my sister’s discerning taste.”

With that, Sebastian lowered his gaze, toying with the strawberry hairpin in his grasp, a

relic from Cherise’s schooldays.

Examining the hairpin, he could vividly recall their time in Shawbury; Cherise’s

unwavering encouragement, her words resonating deeply. “Sebastian, you’re astute and

handsome! Pay no heed to others‘ perceptions!”

“Persevere, for there’s always someone who values and admires your virtues!”

Reminiscing on the Cherise of yore, a wistful smile graced Sebastian’s lips.

Those days in Shawbury marked the nadir of his existence.

Fortune smiled upon him indeed for in those days, Cherise’s warmest smile thawed his

troubled soul.

Without her, how could he have shed weight and smoothly reintegrated into the Weiss

fold?

Seated in the car’s rear, Yolanda regarded Sebastian’s enigmatic expression, an

inexplicable shiver coursing down her spine.

Her brother… invariably evoked a sense of unease.
