But what he had seen and heard today completely shattered his previous perception of her.
“When I first heard about it, I didn't believe it either. But now, I do.”
“Since she's so capable, why don't we partner with her? The tech and internet sectors are booming right now.”
His parents didn't answer, and Grandma Eleanor couldn't be bothered to say another word.
“Where is Sera?”
Sebastian asked.
Gwen replied, “She went straight to bed when she got back. She's exhausted.”
“Exhausted? More like furious, right? Those two stole the entire spotlight at the banquet today.”
Miles always spoke his mind.
“Owen is leagues ahead of Lawrence.
I don't understand. With an outstanding niece and nephew-in-law like Mira and Owen, why force Seraphina to marry Lawrence?
Dad, how does your brain even work?”
The three of them remained silent.
They knew that saying anything would inevitably spark another screaming match.
“We're doomed. Knowing my sister's fragile, stubborn nature, and Lawrence's capacity for ruthlessness, she's bound to suffer.
Since they aren't married yet, we might as well call off the engagement.”
“What nonsense are you spouting? What's wrong with Lawrence? Even without Owen, isn't he still running the family business?
Everyone has flaws. Don't harp on them.”
Gwen couldn't hold back anymore.
However, as long as she didn't insult Mira directly, the old lady ignored her.
“I'm heading to Mira's place tomorrow. I'm just giving you a heads-up.
I'm tired. Mrs. Higgins, help me to my room.”
Supported by Mrs. Higgins, the old lady walked away step by step. Sebastian suddenly felt as though something vital was slipping away from him.
“Mom, why do you have to stay at Mira's? Why can't you just stay here with us?”
