“Claire.” He gently rubbed his cold cheeks against her smooth cheeks.
Claire chuckled. “Yes?”
“I’ll bring you over to the Morgan residence tomorrow.”
What?
The Morgan residence?
Claire shoved him away and stared at him. “Why are we going there?”
There was a frosty smirk on Sean’s lips. “Naturally, we are there to ensure justice is served. No one is allowed to bully my woman, not even a relative of mine. I will have her know the necessity of being respectful to her
superiors.”
Xander had returned home the moment dinner was served.
Evelyn put her utensils down and asked in confusion, “Why are you home,
Xander?”
Xander glanced at her with a helpless expression, but he was in no mood to speak. Instead, he sat down on the living room couch with his head held low as he pressed his lips together in distress.
What happened?
Xander had never looked so defeated before. Evelyn instinctively knew something was amiss.

She stood up from the table and walked over to sit next to him.
“Xander, what on earth happened? Tell me.”
Xander was not in the mood to speak at all. Chaos ruled his mind as fury burned bright in him. However, he did not dare direct the anger at Evelyn, so he continued to silently seethe.
Evelyn scowled. “Speak, Xander!”
“Sure! What should I say?”
Xander could not hold in his anger any longer and, under Evelyn’s constant interrogation, he burst.
“Should I be talking about how Claire is already the mother of two children? Perhaps I should talk about how she’s actually dating Great–Grandpa. Maybe I
should tell you about how the dinner was just a trap to lure me in so that Great–Grandpa could reprimand me?”
“What?”
Xander had revealed so much information at once that Evelyn was lost for a
moment.
“Claire has two children? Are they Mr. Sean’s?”
“No!”
Xander kicked the coffee table, sending it crashing on its side with a loud bang as he frantically clutched his hair.

“Claire gave birth to a pair of twins who were conceived from that night four years ago. Although she ran away, Alice had drugged her. The children belonged to a man she bumped into while running away. Great–Grandpa doesr care whose children they are, though. He’s going to marry her!”
While Evelyn was always composed in elegance, she actually boggled at what she heard. She looked like the sky had fallen on top of her as she slumped against the couch.
Sean loved Claire, yet Evelyn had used her shares at Alpha Ventures to force Claire into marrying Xander. That meant Evelyn had tried to steal Sean’s woman away, right?
Putting aside the fact that Sean was way higher above her in the family hierarchy, what she did was just so unscrupulous that not even Master and Madam Vanderbilt would help her if word of this matter reached them in Ascalon.
They might even bar her from using any of the Vanderbilts‘ connections or resources for her role in helping her son steal Sean’s girlfriend.
Xander had never seen Evelyn look this despondent before. With a frown on his face, he nudged her. “What’s with you, Mom?”
“What’s with me?” Evelyn repeatedly, on the brink of tears. “Mr. Sean is someone who will always strike back at his enemies. If he knows that I forced Claire to marry you with my shares at Alpha Ventures, h– he…”
Xander’s heart abruptly sank. Panicking, he grabbed Evelyn’s arm and
anxiously asked, “What will he do?”

Evelyn was clenching her jaw so hard that her eyes were bulging. “He will definitely avenge Claire.“”
She was no fool. She knew that Claire and Sean would most likely arrive at Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
the Morgan residence the next day. That evening, she told Xander to sleep early. As soon as they woke up the next morning, she kicked Xander out of the
house.
“Go out and have fun. Do whatever you want as long as you don’t come home today.”
“Mom!”
For the first time in his life, Xander stood his ground like the man he was.
As he held onto the door frame with his hands so that his entire body was stuck in the doorway, he cried out, “What will you do when I’m gone?”
Evelyn glared at him in frustration. “I am a Vanderbilt. No matter what, Mr. Sean will not do anything too bad to me. If you are here, he will be reminded of what you had done to Claire. Combined with the fact that we just tried to steal Claire away from him, he would definitely be even angrier than
before.”
Now that Xander understood the situation, he let go of the door frame and stared deep into Evelyn’s eyes before slinking out of the house.
The moment Xander was gone, Evelyn had the servants clean the house from top to bottom.
Once everything was ready, Evelyn sat on the couch and patiently waited.
At 10.00am sharn the dearbell.

She took a moment to tidy her hair and made sure her appearance was perfec before walking over to the door and opening it.
When she saw Claire and Sean standing outside the door, she warmly said, “Mr Sean, Claire, come in.”
She then stepped to the side, voluntarily making way for them.
Claire bit back a laugh as she followed Sean into the house. Evelyn led them to the couch before respectfully saying, “Please wait here for a moment, Mr. Sean, Claire. I’ll be right back.””
As Evelyn walked away, Claire finally lost control and softly giggled before whispering into Sean’s ear, “It’s my first time seeing her so gentle and humble.”
Sean softly chuckled in response. “What is she usually like?”
Claire thought for a moment before putting on a stern face with slightly furrowed brows. “Claire Donovan, this is your last chance. Either take it or deal with the consequences!”
As soon as she finished her mimicry, she burst out giggling once more.
Sean smiled and shook his head. “Honestly, you…”
Claire pouted. “Was that not like her?”
Sean elegantly rested his hands on his knees. “I’ve never seen her like that.”
