NovelEnglish"You're not as insignificant as you claim to be. Since you know President Harper, why don't you introduce us? Skycrest might need to take a loan or two in the future," said Geoffrey. Rosalie finally understood the reason behind his call today. It was none other than for corporate interest.
"To be honest, Mr. Carter, I'm sure an enterprise as outstanding as Skycrest would have many banks fighting to give it a loan. There's no need for you to look for a bank, not to mention asking someone insignificant likefor help on that," Rosalie said firmly.

"That's true," Geoffrey said, "but the choice always goes both ways. There's no loss in getting to know the president of a bank. Could you helpout, in light of the fact that I didn't punish my son on your account today? Otherwise, I would have beaten him up without a doubt." Rosalie found it hilarious. "That's your son we're talking about. Why would you release him from punishment for someone else's sake?" "But that's precisely what happened. Had you not turned up today, he'd probably be in the hospital right now. The punishment is just temporarily lifted for now." Rosalie's heart leaped, as if sensing something. "I'm not sure if I heard you right, but... Are you threatening me, Mr. Carter?" "I'm just stating the facts," Geoffrey said, his voice turning cold. "If you don't care for Sebastian, my threats mean nothing to you. My punishment for him would have nothing to do with you as well, since you're just friends." "Mr. Carter, that's beneath you," Rosalie said with furrowed brows. "Sebastian is your biological son. If you don't care for him, who else would?" "Would a fully grown man like him still need a father to care for him? All the more he needs to be punished!" Geoffrey said coldly. "Since you're not willing to helpon something so minor, I won't bother you any further. Goodbye." Geoffrey was about to hang up when Rosalie called out, "Wait!" "Ms. Young, is there anything else?" Geoffrey said slowly.
"May I ask if Sebastian really is your biological son?" Without any hesitation, he said, "Yes." "Since he is, I hope that you won't..." "Ms. Young," Geoffrey cut her off, "that's betweenand my family, isn't it?" "You..." Rosalie suddenly found Geoffrey outrageous.
He claimed it to be a family affair, but didn't hesitate to threaten her with Sebastian. Which father under the sun would threaten an outsider with his own son?
The thing was, that threat worked. A loyal and affectionate person was always easily influenced and put in a spot. Rosalie didn't want to waste her breath on him any further.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Mr.
Carter, if I introduced you to President Harper, will you really stop picking on Sebastian and let this incident go? Will you not mention it ever again, and not do anything to him using this as a reason?" She had to nip this in the bud.
"If this incident allowsto befriend mo President Harper, I'd consider it a blessing in disguise. Naturally longer count it against Sebastian. I might even reward him for it. If anything similar happens again, I might even do away with his punishment," Geoffrey said leisurely. X
