Reborn to Marry My Best Friend's Uncle novel Chapter 136

Cecilia's fingers clenched tightly into the bedsheet.

She had only ever seen Easton in magazines or heard Sean talk about him. This was the real force in the Frost family, the man everyone obeyed without question.

Even her placement in this rehabilitation center was his doing.

So why was he here?

A wave of dread rolled through her.

She had only intended to stage a suicide attempt—to win Sean's sympathy, have him take her away, and ruin Helena's plans to marry him. She never expected Easton to show up out of nowhere.

Sean felt his stomach drop upon hearing the edge in Easton's voice. He gently let go of Cecilia's hand. "I'll be right back."

Then he walked out of the room.

At the end of the hallway, by the window, Easton stopped and turned.

A sharp slap rang out across the hallway.

Sean's head jerked to the side from the slap, leaving a bright red handprint across his cheek. He held his face, stunned, and stared at Easton. It was the first time in his life he'd ever been hit.

Easton lowered his hand, his expression frigid. "Idiot. Do you know if Cecilia handled the situation with Maeve properly?

"You actually went to the police station over that? Do you have any idea how much you humiliated yourself and the Frost family?"

With each sentence Easton spoke, the color from Sean's face drained a little more. He thought that Maeve's incident had nothing to do with Cecilia.

After all, Cecilia was frail and helpless. So, how could she possibly hurt anyone?

He had already convinced himself that it had to be Annie framing her.

Easton rarely involved himself in Sean's business, yet he guarded the Frost family's honor like it was everything.

And this time, Sean had gone too far.

"I got her into this place and made sure she was taken care of—all so you two could separate, and you could clear your head. But if you insist on throwing your entire future away for her, if you're so determined to drag the Frost family's reputation through the mud…"

He paused, his eyes drilling into Sean.

"Then you shouldn't consider yourself as one of the Frosts anymore."

Sean's head jerked up, his fists clenching.

He could handle the slap and the scolding. But to be kicked out of the Frost residence?
