Chapter 77 What's the Difference Between You and A Useless Person?
Seb continued, “Or do you find your apology expensive, Mr. Thomas?”
Everyone looked at the door and saw Seb walking in with Terry Campbell, the host of the charity dinner.
Terry had a smile on his face, but Seb's expression was icy, exuding a chilling aura.
Daniel's eyes darkened. If it were Alex, he could still ask for a favor. But if it was Seb, tonight's matter might not end well.
Alex's face was also extremely grim. Earlier, Sharon was about to agree to his proposal. Now that Seb had intervened, it'd definitely affect Smith Group's cooperation with BioTech Innovations Group.
"Mr. Seb, it was indeed Emily's fault this time. I have already said that Emily can apologize, and even if Ms. Wright wants compensation, I'll agree if it's within my power." Daniel thought he had already given the Smith family enough face. If things really got ugly, it wouldn't look good for anyone.
Seb stopped a few steps away from Daniel, his expression so cold it could freeze someone to death. "If Emily were the one being falsely accused of stealing today, would you accept just a light apology and some compensation? If so, Daniel, I'll make her go through everything Sharon did."
Daniel's face changed. Before he could speak, a dozen men in black quickly walked in and surrounded Emily.
Seeing the situation, the onlookers took a few steps back, not wanting to get caught in the crossfire.
"Seb, what's the meaning of this?" Daniel asked.
Seb smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. "If Ms. Young won't kneel and apologize as she promised, then I'll have her stripped here and now, so she can also experience humiliation."
Suddenly surrounded by a dozen men in black, Emily was already panicking. Hearing Seb's words made her face turn pale. "Daniel, save me!"
She'd rather die than be stripped here!
Emily looked at Daniel with tearful eyes and a scared face.
Daniel's expression turned extremely cold as he stared at Seb, his eyes filled with anger. "Seb, do you have to go so far?"
"Your woman plotted against someone from the Smiths, and now you blame me for going too far. Don't you feel ashamed?" Seb said.
Daniel sneered, "Ms. Wright's husband has agreed to my solution. You're just their uncle, so what right do you have to interfere?"
Seb looked at Sharon and asked indifferently, "Do you accept Daniel's proposed solution?"
Knowing Seb was standing up for her, she replied coldly, "I don't agree. I just want Ms. Young to keep her promise."
"Did you hear that?" he turned to look at Emily, who was surrounded by bodyguards. His cold eyes made her shiver involuntarily.
"Ms. Young, I'll give you ten seconds to decide; kneel or strip, your choice."
Daniel was furious, gritting his teeth. "Seb, don't think you can do whatever you want in Metropolis. If you anger the Thomas family and the Young family, you won't have a good time either!"
Seb added, "Five seconds left."
Seeing he didn't plan on changing his mind, Daniel rushed in to take Emily away. However, one of the suited men punched him to the ground before he could get close.
To prevent Daniel from causing more trouble, two of them pinned him down.
"Alright, time's up. Ms. Young, since you won't choose, I'll choose for you," when Seb finished speaking, the other men in black swarmed forward.
"Emily!" Daniel's face changed dramatically. He struggled to save her, but was firmly restrained; unable to break free. He could only watch as the men approached her.
Emily screamed, clutching her dress desperately, her eyes filled with terror. "Don't come near me! I'll kneel and apologize!"
She thought Seb was just trying to scare her. She didn't expect he'd actually have his men make a move. He was simply a madman.
If she were stripped here, she might've as well been dead.
Kneeling and apologizing was better than being stripped on the spot.
Seb's expression remained icy as he sneered, "Alright, everyone back off."
The men in black retreated, and Emily collapsed to the ground. She clung to her dress, which hadn't been torn off, but her hair and clothes were in disarray, making her look extremely disheveled.
Her face was fearful as she quickly ran over and knelt in front of Sharon. "Ms. Wright, I'm sorry; I shouldn't have framed you. I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again. Please forgive me."
Sharon looked at her indifferently, feeling no sympathy.
If she hadn't discovered the necklace in her bag, she might've been the one in this miserable state now.
She said, "Ms. Young, there's no need to talk about forgiveness. You're just keeping your promise. After all, you're an adult and should be responsible for your actions."
Emily was filled with hatred but dared not show it on her face. "I understand."
Daniel broke free from the bodyguards and quickly walked over to Emily, taking off his jacket and draping it over her. Then, he picked her up in his arms.
He looked at Seb, his eyes dark as ink. "This matter won't end here."
With that, he carried Emily and left in a hurry.
Rebecca, who had been watching Seb's ruthless treatment of Emily for Sharon, was secretly shocked. Her fingers unconsciously dug into her palms, her eyes filled with undisguised jealousy.
She knew that if it were her today, she might've ended up like Emily.
However, although afraid, she was now even more determined to win Seb's heart.
She had to make him fall in love with her!
As Daniel and Emily left, Terry smiled and spoke to ease the tension. "The charity auction is about to begin. Everyone, please return to your seats. Let's not let this little incident affect tonight's auction."
He held a prominent position, so nobody present dared to disrespect him.
Moreover, when Seb had his men deal with Emily, Terry had only watched from the side and didn't intervene. This meant he agreed with Seb's actions.
Understanding this, everyone put on smiles. The atmosphere soon relaxed, as if nothing had happened.
Alex was angry with Seb's actions. He had planned to use this incident to gain Daniel's favor and secure more benefits in their future cooperation, but Seb had ruined everything.
The upcoming cooperation was now impossible. It would be good enough if BioTech Innovations Group didn't become enemies with Smith group.
With a stern face, Alex walked up and said coldly, "Uncle Seb, even if you wanted to play hero, you shouldn't have gone to such extremes. You've offended both the Thomas family and Young families."
Seb replied, "Come with me."
Seeing him walk toward the balcony, Alex frowned but eventually followed.
On the balcony, Alex was about to speak, but his mind blanked out when he saw Seb's icy gaze.
Seb said, "Your wife was bullied, but you didn't even stand up for her. What's the difference between you and a useless person?"
