How could she just sit back and watch Silas go bankrupt? If he did, she and Seraphina would lose everything too.
They had orchestrated the crash to steal the antique shop.
Rowan didn't die in the accident. She clung to life in a hospital bed, stuck in a coma to this day.
The antique shop belonged to Raelynn, but since Raelynn was a child and couldn't run it, the only person left to manage it was her legal guardian, Silas.
But Rowan was still alive.
If the truth about what happened back then ever came out, Blanche would be the one facing the consequences.
Blanche went pale. "No... no..."
She grabbed Seraphina tightly. "We covered our tracks perfectly back then. It shouldn't be easy to investigate, but just to be absolutely sure, I need to double-check."
Because they had been so thorough, even a determined investigator would struggle to find anything, which was why she had been safe all these years.
But now that the Vance family's downfall was triggering a full-scale investigation, she was on edge. She had to be absolutely certain.
Blanche panicked. "We have to leave, but tomorrow I need to stop by the antique shop first. I helped Silas manage it for a few months back then, so I have to make sure there are no records left behind."
Seraphina hadn't expected there to actually be something incriminating.
Her head throbbed. The endless blows had left her mind in absolute chaos.
But Blanche was her mother.
Sometimes, Blanche was more ruthless than she was. If she ever wanted to make a comeback, she still needed her mother's help to pull the right strings.
With a heavy heart, she cast one last agonizing look at the mansion she could no longer enter.
A storm of emotions flashed through her eyes.
But in the end, she had no choice but to rush off.
The disaster with Keystone was too devastating.
She had no backup plan and no money.
Even if they had to run, she was going to drain Silas dry first.

Raelynn had arranged to meet Dr. Evelyn Hayes at the antique shop.
The business was currently thriving. Even on a weekday, plenty of people bought tickets to tour the exhibits, and tourists from out of town flocked to see it.
Even without the antique sales, the cash flow was solid.
But Sierra had insisted, and Dr. Hayes couldn't bring herself to reject her granddaughter's kindness again.
Raelynn completely understood.
When they reached the entrance, Raelynn noticed something unusual.
They were waved right through.
They didn't even have to show tickets.
The sharply dressed manager at the door simply gestured for them to enter.
Raelynn couldn't help but give the man a second glance.
As soon as they walked in, Dr. Hayes gasped in awe. "So many incredible pieces. The Winslow family's collection is truly remarkable."
The manager stepped forward. "Ms. Ortiz, would you like me to show you to the calligraphy and painting exhibit? It's in the southwest corner of the third floor."
Raelynn paused.
Was this...
Had Sebastian given them a heads-up?

No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
The croix family is evil...
