Sebastian''s gaze swept over her again. The Emily tonight was even more alluring than the one he''d seen that afternoon. The thin fabric of her dress could barely contain her desire.


    Sebastian found this type of woman utterly repulsive.


    Joanna liked to dress that way in front of him, too. He would only frown slightly without saying a word.


    It was her freedom to dress as she pleased. Suddenly, his mind shed to Natalie. She had an amazing figure, much better than the woman in front of him. One time, she had worn a simr body-hugging dress, and her long legs were so white they were dazzling. All the men around them were staring at her.


    He had been so irritated that he had sternly warned her never to dress like that again.


    Wendy had been there at the time, calling Natalie shameless and asking if she was trying to seduce men by dressing so scantily.


    Natalie had looked hurt and helpless, tears streaming down her face as she listened to Wendy''s harsh words.


    As Sebastian recalled this, a pang of pain shot through him. He realized that, without even knowing it, he had be possessive of her. He just had never recognized it himself.


    When Joanna dressed provocatively, he would only frown slightly, never feeling that other men were coveting her.


    But with Natalie, he felt it intensely. The thought of other men looking at her legs would make him furious. After that incident, Natalie''s style became much more modest, her dresses always having a more casual ir.


    Sebastian''s hand tightened around his wine ss. His heavy gaze made Emily, who was sitting across from him, feel a flicker of fear deep inside.


    But Emily was never one to give up easily.


    She was determined to have Sebastian.


    Just looking at Sebastian''s devastatingly handsome face was enough to captivate her soul.


    She stood up and moved to sit beside him.


    The cloying scent of her perfume hit him, and Sebastian frowned.


    Emily boldly reached out and took Sebastian''s arm, but the moment she touched him, he shot to his feet.


    He warned in a low voice, "Miss Parker, have some self-respect!"


    "Pfft..."


    Seeing hisplete indifference, Emily couldn''t help butugh out of frustration. She was even starting to doubt her own charm.


    Every man she had ever been with had been driven wild by her sensual body.


    Sebastian was the first to tell her to have some self-respect.


    How interesting. This only deepened her interest in him.


    She stood up with a smile, her red lips curving. "Alright, Mr. Griffith. I won''t disturb


    you any longer. I hope you''ll reconsider our partnership."


    She didn''t want to cause a scene and make things messy. A man like Sebastian would be hers, sooner orter.


    Sebastian didn''t respond. He had already sent people to investigate Emily''s connections. Everyone who approached him tately seemed to be linked to those illegitimate


    half-siblings of his.


    Emily was likely no exception.


    Sebastian watched her retreating back, a strange light in his eyes.


    He had already met with the important partners he came to see tonight. He sent a text to Sean, telling him to bring the car around, and then strode qut of the gt


    Not far away, the scene that had just unfolded was captured on camera by Xenia Wilson. Xenia was Mr. Wilson''s granddaughter and a good friend of Joanna''s.


    She took a picture of the moment and sent it to Joanna.


    [Joanna, someone''s trying to seduce your fiancé. It''s that Miss Parker who just came back to the country.]


    Joanna, who had just had her


    surgery and was resting in her hotel


    room, say the photo Xenia sent and


    was so angry she wanted to smash her phone. How dare that woman try to seduce Sebastian while she wasn''t around.
