Sebastian and Yvette heard Joseph announce from the door.

Sebastian replied, "Let him in." After that, he pulled Yvette over to lie down by his side. She scrambled to get up when she realized her dad was about to enter the room, but Sebastian wrapped her in a tight embrace, going so far as to pin her down by wrapping a leg across her. "Master, I beg of you. Please let me go, okay?" she pleaded to him when she was trapped.

"What if you escape once I let go of you? Let's wait for your dad to enter. I'll release you if he shows up with the phoenix blood herb," Sebastian replied.

It was at that moment Joseph entered the bedroom with Frederik. Frederik grew incensed when he witnessed his daughter lying in Sebastian's arms, both of them clad in sheer nightwear. Feeling embarrassed, Yvette buried her face in Sebastian's chest.

"Mr. Osborne, did you bring the phoenix blood herb with you?" Sebastian's gaze traveled to the vintage-looking rosewood box with exquisite patterns that Frederik was holding.

The box itself appeared expensive. Sebastian had every reason to believe that it contained the phoenix blood herb.

Frederik, suppressing his rage, said, "I brought it. Release my daughter now."

"Give me the goods and I'll return your daughter," Sebastian insisted.
