“Of course, I’ll listen to you,” Max replied, his tone cool and unreadable. “But you know what happens if I go easy on her. If you want Rebecca to deal with the consequences, that’s your call.

Sebastian shot him a look of disdain. “Honestly.”

Max blinked, confused.

‘Did I say something wrong?‘ he wondered.

“You’re all grown up, but you still can’t handle a little teasing,” Sebastian grumbled, clearly exasperated. “If I really wanted you to go easy on her, I would’ve made them sign the shares over when your dad suggested it earlier.”

Max kept his face blank. “Yeah.”

Sebastian, growing even more aggravated, snapped, “What, do you only speak if someone pokes you? One word at a time, huh?”

“Careful before you talk–remember we’re family,” Max said coolly. “Don’t accidentally insult yourself while you’re at it.”

Sebastian took a deep breath. “Get out of here!”

Max stood up. “I’m leaving.”

Sebastian didn’t even want to talk to him anymore.

Max knew what Sebastian was like, so he just nodded at Oliver and walked out.

Watching Max walk away, Sebastian groused to Oliver, “All those stories I told him as a kid–completely wasted. The guy’s got zero sense of humor. At this rate, who knows if I’ll ever see him bring home a wife?”

“Eh, you can’t force these things, sir. It’s all up to fate,” Oliver soothed him.

Sebastian just snorted.

A few more minutes went by.

Still feeling uneasy about tonight, Sebastian told Oliver quietly, “Keep a discreet eye on Rebecca these days, will you? Don’t let Max or Jack pull any stupid stunts.”

Oliver replied softly, “Sure thing, sir.”

Meanwhile.

Jack had a pretty good idea what Sebastian was up to.
