Sebastian's words hung in the air like a slap to the face.
Immediately Valentina's father blinked slowly, confusion wrestling with disbelief on his face. Maria, standing beside him, squinted slightly, her brows twitching as if trying to recall something buried deep in her mind.
"Wait a minute…" her husband muttered, turning toward Maria. "Sterling Design… that name sounds familiar, doesn't it?"
Maria folded her arms, her lips tight in thought. "Isn't Sterling Design… one of the companies under GSK?"
Her tone was laced with sudden urgency, the pieces beginning to form in her mind.
Sebastian, who had been scrolling through something on his phone smugly, chuckled as he looked up. "Yes. They are. But relax—they're nothing major. If I'm right, they're ranked somewhere in tier five or tier six in the GSK structure. Very low. No real influence."
Valentina's father tilted his head slightly, his eyes narrowing. "Tier six?" he echoed.
Sebastian nodded.
