Outside the door, the butler's voice could be heard. "Sir, there was a call from Madam. She said she won't be coming back tonight." Geoffrey frowned. He turned around and said, "Tell her that Sebastian's getting married. She should cback quickly to prepare. After our son's wedding, she can go wherever she wants." "Understood," Phillip said, and then another voice cfrom outside.
"Is my father inside?" "Mr. Sebastian, you're back. Mr. Geoffrey is inside. Do you need anything?" Sebastian knocked on the door. "Dad, I need to talk to you." Geoffrey put the photo back nicely, locked the hidden compartment, and opened the door. He stared coldly at Sebastian.
"You still remember to cback, huh? If I don't call you, you won't even think about returning." Sebastian went straight to the point. "Dad, I can listen to you on other things, but I want to make my own decisions about my marriage. You can't forceto marry a woman I don't even know." "Who said you don't know her? You've met her often at banquets. She's Tammy Jones." "I won't marry her," Sebastian insisted.
He had never gone against Geoffrey before; this was his first time. He thought Geoffrey would be angry, but to his surprise, Geoffrey remained calm.
"I remember teaching you that whatever you do represents the family, even when you were very young. You've always thought it was fine. Why are you making a complete turnaround now that it's tto get married?" Geoffrey asked.
Sebastian said coldly, "Back then, I was too young to understand the meaning of marriage or what it feels like to love someone. But now that I've grown up, I can't marry a woman I don't love." "Are you willing to lose everything for this? Even be expelled from the Carter family?" Geoffrey asked sternly.

"Since you say so, I'll grant your wish. You don't have to get married anymore. You may leave." "Fine," Sebastian said. "Don't worry. When I leave, I won't take anything from the family with me." "I didn't ask you to leave the Carter family," Geoffrey interrupted. "I'm saying you don't have to marry if you don't want to. I don't intend to expet you from the family. You're still the president of our company." "What?" Sebastian was puzzled. "Why?" He had already prepared himself to be expelled from the family, but now, Geoffrey was saying he was still the president? Was this really his father?

so he had decided to act like a decent person for once. It wasn't that hen thought too ill of Geoffrey; his father really was an awfubman, and he knew it all too well!
"Why?" Geoffrey snorted coldly. "As a father, I haven't been able to make you happy despite all these years. I finally want to do something for you, but you don't want it. So forget it." "Dad, is finding srandom woman forto marry what you want to do for me? You know very well..." Sebastian said, but Geoffrey cut him off.
"I know very well that you like Rosalie. Is that what you're thinking?" Geoffrey saw through his son in an instant.
