Fake Heiress Reborn Drops Masks Finds Family (Noelle and Sebastian) novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267 Recounting the Past

“Grandpa, Sebastian and Noelle are here. I’m hanging up now.”

“Hey–don’t hang up! Don’t you dare! Perfect timing! Hand the phone to them. Now!”

Lucas sighed helplessly and passed the phone over, mouthing to Sebastian, Save me.

Sebastian took it and put it on speaker. “Mr. Ronald, it’s Sebastian.”

“Sebastian! And Noelle’s there, too, right?” Ronald’s voice instantly perked up, all the weariness gone.

Noelle smiled. “Mr. Ronald.”

“Good, good! Just perfect! This Sunday is Lucas’s father’s 50th birthday banquet at the family residence in Kingstowne. Aren’t you two already in Kingstowne? Come along and attend together!”

Lucas’s face darkened. “Grandpa-”

“Zip it!” Ronald barked. “All you do is run around out there and ignore your own family!”

He paused, then softened his tone. “Noelle, Sebastian–do Grandpa a favor. Bring this brat back with you. His father may be a mess, but skipping a 50th birthday banquet? The gossip outside would be unbearable.”

Noelle glanced at Lucas–his jaw tight, irritation written all over him–then looked to Sebastian. Seeing him give a slight nod, she answered calmly, “Don’t worry, Grandpa. We’ll be there.”

“Good! Good!” Ronald laughed in delight. “Then, it’s settled. Sunday night–don’t be late!”

As if afraid they’d change their minds, he hung up immediately.

Sebastian set the phone on the table and looked at Lucas, who was clearly unhappy. His tone was even. “Mr. Steele personally asked. You should give him that respect. And he’s not wrong–you’re in Kingstowne. Skipping your father’s 50th would look bad.”

Noelle chuckled. “Besides, I’m kind of curious. What kind of snake pit is the Steele household that makes you avoid it like the plague?”

Lucas curled his lips into a cold, self–mocking smile. “Snake pit? More like a pile of disgusting messes.”

He tilted his head back and took a long drink. “Enough about that. Eat up. I ordered a whole table of dishes you like, Noelle.”

Third–floor corridor.

‘Mr. Ethan?” the assistant asked when Ethan suddenly stopped.

He called again. No response. “Mr. Ethan?”

Ethan finally snapped back. “Mm.”

His gaze drifted involuntarily to a private room on the second floor. One window was ajar, giving him a clear view inside. He saw Sebastian, Lucas, and Noelle.

He saw Sebastian with his hand resting on Lucas’s shoulder. Lucas looked troubled, and Sebastian seemed to be talking him

through it–patient, steady. The very picture of a considerate older brother.

Heh.

Ethan’s mouth twisted in a sneer.

Such a great big brother, huh.

Legs ruined, yet still worrying about everyone else.

Because Sebastian was seated, Ethan didn’t notice anything unusual. He still believed Sebastian was crippled–unable to stand.

“Dr. Connor has arrived. You should go in now,” the assistant reminded him.

Ethan said nothing and headed upstairs.

The assistant followed, helpless.

Sigh. Mr. Ethan really is stubborn to the core.

He clearly still cared about Sebastian.

All these years, he’d been searching everywhere for doctors to treat Sebastian’s legs. Yet the moment they met, it was all sharp looks and biting words.

Sigh…

After dinner, Sebastian and Noelle headed back to the villa, while Lucas returned to his own place.

In the car, Primo drove. Sebastian and Noelle sat in the back.
