Chapter 51
The entire mall fell silent the moment Sebastian Valdemar appeared.
He stood behind Evelyn Roland, his piercing gaze sweeping across the room. Everyone knew exactly whose side the Valdemar Group CEO was on.
"Finished?" Sebastian asked in a low voice.
Evelyn kept organizing the shelves without looking up. "Mm."
She turned to leave, but Sebastian caught her wrist.
"That's it?" He arched an eyebrow. "I came all this way to help, and not even a thank you?"
Evelyn shook off his grip. "None of your business."
Sebastian followed her relentlessly. "This happens to be my mall. Care to explain why you're here?"
Employees discreetly stepped back to give them space.
Evelyn finally stopped walking. "What do you want?"
"See this." Sebastian pulled out his phone and played a video.
The footage showed Evelyn standing over a debt collector, cigarette dangling from her lips, eyes sharp as daggers.
"Delete it." She lunged for the phone.
Sebastian easily dodged. "So fierce now? Where's that energy from when you helped your friend collect debts? Why take their insults today?"
"Fuck off." Evelyn turned on her heel.
Sebastian chuckled behind her. "Adorable."
The video went viral overnight. Netizens quickly uncovered Victoria Lowell's social media accounts, flooding her comments.
"This is the Lowell heiress? Classy."
"Someone audit Lowell Group's books."
"Already reported. You're welcome."
The next morning, Victoria got pelted with rotten eggs the moment she stepped outside. No suspects—just blind spots in the security cameras.
Worse, Lowell Group's stock began plummeting. Their website got overrun with mocking messages:
"Rebrand as Lowell Losers."
"With this heir, the company won't last three months."
"Waiting for bankruptcy filings."
