Chapter 563
563 Apologize in Person
It was Sebastian. He shrugged off his coat and strolled over from the corner.
Compared to Elliot and Tobias, he appeared more like a typical corporate elite. He adorned a diamond
wristwatch and sported a stylish backcombed hairstyle. The well–defined angles of his face were
complemented by a charming smile.
“Sebastian!” Tobias‘ eyes lit up.
At this moment, even the company owners made way for him.
After all, Sebastian couldn’t merely be viewed as the fourth son of the Quinnell family. He was far too
renowned among the Hawford Legal Elites.
Given their industry, they couldn’t afford to offend any lawyers.
Sebastian only spared Tobias a single glance before his gaze landed on Wynter. He couldn’t help but
reach out and ruffle Wynter’s long hair. “Wynter is so capable. Others should be praising you. Instead,
you’re here being slandered.”
Wynter felt somewhat uncomfortable when her hair was ruffled.
The words she had prepared beforehand suddenly got stuck in her throat.
Yet, in this state, Sebastian felt that this was the Wynter he knew best. He smiled gently and said, “It’s
all because we are useless brothers. We have allowed outsiders to misunderstand, and now they think
anyone can step on my sister.”
When he spoke, Arianna instinctively took a step back.
The others remained silent, no longer daring to speak up.
Initially, as the ladies belonged to the same social circle, they felt a subconscious urge to defend the
Winston family.
However, they treaded carefully around Sebastian. Afterall, they recognized he wasn’t just a mere
junior.
It’s no wonder why some referred to him as the smiling fox. That’s exactly who Sebastian was. He
appeared approachable but his words brooked no compromise.
“Mrs. Winston, reputation should never be risked in a dispute. While the Winstons and the Quinnells
share a close bond, the Winstons aren’t an ordinary family. Even someone as young as Ms. Winston
should grasp that baseless accusations of theft come with consequences,” he remarked.
“Either Ms. Winston apologizes now or we’ll pursue legal action”
Sebastian’s words were deliberate. “When it comes to applying moral pressure, I believe I am better at
it than Mrs. Winston.”
“Sebastian, I didn’t mean it like that,” Arianna interjected, wanting to explain.

Sebastian smiled. “Mrs. Winston, I’m not concerned with your intentions. I’ve conveyed my stance
clearly. Usually, I don’t involve myself much in the fashion industry.
“I just searched about Lamar, which is also my little sister’s brand. With her influence, the baseless
accusations made by Ms. Winston earlier could tarnish the Winston family’s reputation.
“The recent performance of the Winston family’s stocks appears to be rather ordinary.”
“You know me,” Sebastian added and looked at Arianna. “I don’t mind helping the Winston family
again.”
After hearing this, Arianna’s expression changed!
If today’s events truly impacted the Winston family’s business, the people back at home would never
forgive her.
Her daughter would also be regarded as a sinner within the Winston family!
Regardless of her reluctance, Arianna bit her tongue and instructed Wendy, “Quickly apologize to
Wynter!”
“Mom, I’m not apologizing!” Wendy shouted, “The Quinnells are bullies! I-”
A resounding smack reverberated through the room.
Arianna, her eyes reddened, slapped Wendy’s face. “Apologize!”
Wendy covered her face and stared at Arianna in disbelief.
True to his profession as a lawyer, Sebastian interjected, “If Ms. Winston is unwilling, Mrs. Winston
need not force her. Nevertheless, inappropriate behavior and slandering others are not habits that can
be changed overnight.”
This was essentially a humiliation for the Winston family!
