Chapter 740
"Hmph, of course I didn't! They just sent me to apologize, and I did, but then they made such a big fuss afterward. If you want a scene, I'll give you one! I won't admit to something I didn't do!" "Save it for the cops," came the retort.
Sebastian had a change of heart.
If Yolanda's backer was that hard to track, then he'd let that be.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
He'd force Yolanda to show her hand instead.
Her confidence about going to the police station must come from her protector.
He was curious to see which member of the Ingram family it was.
After Yolanda left, Gracie looked at Sebastian with grateful eyes. "Thanks, President Ingram, for standing up for me."
Sebastian replied coolly, "It's nothing."
"Silver Fox, so when you said you were busy and couldn't visit Gracie with me, you were dealing with Yolanda! Nicely done! She's such a pain. Remember at Mr. Finnegan's birthday? She was picking on me the whole time. Mr. Finnegan wanted me as the lead actress, and she was sour about it, saying they're lifting me too high and I'll fall hard. So annoying. And if she's behind what happened to Gracie, that's just evil."
Sebastian's gaze turned frosty as he looked at her. "Will you throw a tantrum next time? Hang up on me for no reason? Can't bear a few words?"
Stephanie opened her mouth, then glanced around, embarrassed to be called out by Silver Fox in front of so many. She hung her head and mumbled, "I know I was wrong."
"And will it happen again?"
"No, it won't."
Emily giggled from the side, "Seb, Stephanie was bad-mouthing you all the way here." Sebastian's eyes narrowed intriguingly at Stephanie. "Oh? And what exactly did she say?" "Silly Silver Fox, stubborn Silver Fox! I've been so good, and yet he's still mad at me." "And?"

"This old man is so hard to please. Emily rattled on until Stephanie rushed over to cover her mouth, glaring. "Emily, if you keep spouting nonsense, you're dead meat when we get home!"
Sebastian's dangerous voice echoed behind them. "Hmm? Old man?"
Stephanie pouted. "Silver Fox, don't listen to Emily. I didn't call you old, you're still young, only nine years older than me, that's all."
Sebastian thought, "Getting smart, huh?
Reminding me that I'm only nine years older so I won't hold it against you?"
Sebastian couldn't help but laugh.
Gracie and the others found it amusing. "President Ingram, don't take it to heart with Steph. She's just a kid, and a sensible one at that, coming to see me. She probably just blurted it out in a fit of pique
Stephanie nodded vigorously. "Right, Silver Fox wouldn't come pick me up, and he was mad at me, so I was just venting." Sebastian took a deep breath. "I spoiled her. I deserve it."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Stephanie, a bit embarrassed, went
over to him, tugging at his arm playfully, "Come on, Silver Fox, don't be mad. I'll go home with you and make you something delicious, okay?"
Sebastian's eyes darkened. "Not going back to the set?"
"Tomorrow's scene. I can talk to Grandpa about it, shoot it in the afternoon. I can go home tonight."
