Scar snorts coldly: "I'm doing this for Granny, not you."

"Granny kicked me out of the company for what happened five years ago," Sebastian lets out a light laugh, "I'm pretty sure she would be the last one who would want you to help me right now."

Scar raises her eyebrows. She didn't think Granny would be so cruel to Sebastian, but then again, there weren't too many who could rip Sebastian's title easily.

"What did you tell her?" Scar frowns.
