Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 320

After keeping the mother and son safe, Grandpa Beckett hadn't punished them further, only warning his mother not to get any twisted ideas.

How was that any different from letting them off the hook?

Though, for the moment, they certainly wouldn't dare act recklessly again.

Still, it made him realize exactly what these so-called elite patriarchs truly cared about.

The biggest issue with Sebastian Vance pursuing Elara Sterling wasn't that she was a divorced mother, but the fact that she was formerly married to Sebastian's uncle.

An uncle's ex-wife becoming a wife, a cousin becoming a stepdaughter—this kind of incestuous taboo would absolutely never be tolerated by either the Beckett or Vance families!

Grandpa Beckett only had this one blood grandson; perhaps, in the end, he might reluctantly compromise.

But the Vance family wouldn't be so easily fooled.

Sebastian's father, Samuel Vance, was still around, and though he lacked Sebastian's sheer competence, he was at least a direct Vance bloodline; if worst came to worst, they could rewrite the bylaws to have others assist and supervise him.

His father had been eyeing his son's empire like a predator all along.

More importantly, Sebastian also had a ten-year-old half-sister.

Ten years old wasn't very old, but given the current state of the Vance patriarch's health, holding out for a few more years was entirely possible.

Handing the Vance family and Vance Dynamics over to an underachieving son and a granddaughter was still better than handing it to an unfilial descendant who would ruin the family's pristine reputation, right?

Sebastian's father wasn't even fifty yet, and his stepmother was even younger; what if she gave birth to another brother for him?

In that scenario, Sebastian wouldn't stand a chance.

How could a twenty-four-year-old kid, who had only just officially taken over the enterprise, compete with a shrewd veteran who had dominated the business world for decades?
