Claire was speechless.

Evelyn only acted high and mighty when talking to them. She should be subservient just like before whenever she talked to Sean. 

“Alright.” 

She snorted and wrapped her arms around Sean’s arm. “Why does it feel like she knew we were coming?” 

“Of course she does,” Sean replied, gently patting her on the hand. “Xander came home last night. If Evelyn still did not know I would be coming today, she would have wasted everything the Vanderbilts had given her to date.” 

The Vanderbilts were a family with a long lineage that had been well–known for giving birth to dozens of intelligent individuals throughout history. 

During times of peace, the main family would become civil servants while the branch family members went on to become business owners. In times of turmoil the Vanderbilts would all hide away their true strength to conserve energy. 

The only reasons the Vanderbilts could stand strong through the ages were their strict family traditions, the wits of their patriarch, and unity among all family members. 

Every Vanderbilt excelled at politics and strategies.

Thus, none of the branch family members who benefited from the family’s connections and resources were fools. 

As a child, when Claire heard about the Vanderbilts from Robert, she thought it was impossible for every single individual in a family as huge as the Vanderbilts to be that smart and cunning. Now, it seemed like those who were lacking in wits would only be given enough to survive by the family while the truly intelligent of them all would be given enough resources to improve 

their lives. 

As she thought that, Evelyn returned to the room with a smile on her lips and a folder in her hands that she placed in front of Sean. 

She did not sit down, however, and merely stood near the coffee table. “Mr. Sean, I have the transfer agreement ready for 25% of Alpha Ventures shares. Claire just needs to sign the agreement, and the shares will be hers.” 

Sean did not pick up the folder and calmly glanced at it. “The shares are yours. If you give them to me just like that, people will think I’m abusing 

my power.” 

“Haha, no way,” Evelyn gracefully chuckled. Despite being older than Sean by over a decade, she remained very subservient and respectful. “The shares are meant to be Claire’s in the first place.” 

Sean raised an eyebrow and stared up at Evelyn with deep and quiet eyes. “Wh do you say that?” 

“I actually have the shares because Madeline gave them to me. I did not spenc a single cent on them.”

“My mother?” 

Claire’s heart abruptly sank. While it had been two decades since Madeline’s death, there was always a special place in her heart reserved for Madeline. 

She knew very little about her mother, but she wanted to know more about 

Madeline. 

“Mrs. Evelyn…” 

As soon as Claire said that, Evelyn’s face instantly twisted as she hurriedly 

waved a hand in front of her. “You don’t need to call me that, Claire.” 

Evelyn glanced at Sean before continuing with an awkward smile, “If Mr. Sean marries you, I’ll have to call you Mrs. Claire.” 

Evelyn acted exactly like Jason had back then, causing Claire to let out a helpless sigh before agreeing to change the way she addressed Evelyn. “Can you tell me why my mother gave you those shares back then, Evelyn? Why dic she engage me to Xander when we were children?” 

“I don’t really know her exact reasons, but I believe Madeline had been worried about Robert. As no one will be there to support you after she passes away, you will live a horrible life the moment Robert remarried. That was why she gave me 25% of Alpha Ventures. She wanted me to protect you with the Morgans as a source of support for you.” 

Claire was confused by the explanation. 

It was somewhat different from what she knew about the situation. 

“Is it true that Mom saved you back then?”

What kind of logic was that? 

Claire did not get it. 

Suddenly, she felt a large palm gently wrap around her hand. She turned around to find Sean smiling at her.

Desiree’s life takes a devastating turn when she loses her grandfather. Lost in grief, she flees to his remote forest cabin to heal. Little does she know, though, that the woods house more than solitude. 

She bit her lip hard as she felt an urge to cry. 

In any case, her mother had crafted many plans for her future a very long time ago. Madeline even got the Morgans in Claire’s corner. 

“Any other questions?” 

Sean’s voice was so gentle that Claire’s eyes went red. She widened her eyes in a valiant attempt to stop the tears from falling as she slowly shook her head. 

“Alright.” Sean then turned to Evelyn. “After Madeline gave you the shares, how long was it before she passed away?” 

Despite the calm and composed tone of voice, Evelyn felt like she was being interrogated.  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She stood up straighter than before and solemnly answered, “Madeline passed away about a month after the shares were transferred to me. I don’t really know on which day she passed away. I was only told of her death when it was time for her funeral.” 

No ordinary woman would enter her young daughter into an arranged marriag and hand the dowry over to the future mother–in–law in advance. 

Unless… 

That was unless Madeline knew she was going to die. 

She only paved the way ahead of her daughter because she could not trust Robert. 

Sean was shocked. He did not know how to tell Claire about what he had 

deduced. 

She was on the verge of tears. If he told her what he deduced, she would be 

even more upset. 

Gripping her hand tightly in his, he lowered his voice as he said, “Evelyn, you and your son have constantly pushed Claire around. Do you think everything will be settled if you just hand over what was supposed to be Claire’s in the first place?” 

Evelyn’s heart skipped as her legs started trembling. While she had prepared herself for Sean’s interrogation and rage, she still felt fear when she actually faced his fury in person. 

“Mr. Sean.”

Her eyes turned red, and her legs went limp as she subconsciously felt the need to kneel on the ground. 

“Stand straight!” Sean sharply barked out. 

Evelyn wanted to do that, but her legs were so weak that she could not even keep herself upright. 

She stumbled sideways before she could support herself with the help of the nearby couch. Her fingers were trembling uncontrollably. “Mr. Sean, I’m so sorry. I did not know Claire was yours. If I had known, I would have given her the shares instead of pressuring her into doing anything.” 

Sean sneered. “Are you blaming Claire for not telling you about her relationship with me?” 

“No, no! That’s not it!” 

Evelyn shook her head hard. Drops of tears rolled down her face, melting away her makeup. “I didn’t mean that. A mistake is a mistake. I am willing to 

accept any punishment you have for me. However, I beg you to please spare the Morgans.” 

The Morgans were not important enough for Sean to think of, anyway. 

Even if he gained the entire Morgan Group, it was all peanuts compared to his mighty empire. 

With an arm wrapped around Claire’s shoulders to gently pull her into a protective embrace, he snapped at Evelyn, “I am not the person you should be
