Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 430

The older generation grumbled about sitting for too long and scattered to stretch their legs, leaving Kendrick and Sebastian to handle the unending wave of relatives coming to pay their respects.

At some point, Samuel had completely vanished.

Since the man was practically useless, no one even noticed he was gone.

It wasn't until a vicious screaming match between Samuel and his wife erupted from the floor above that everyone realized he had gone upstairs to sleep—and that an explosive fight had broken out for reasons unknown.

The sound of smashing objects echoed through the manor, sounding exactly like a physical brawl.

Kendrick's face turned thunderous as he summoned Harrison. "Go upstairs, separate them, and lock them in different rooms. Neither of them is allowed out without my explicit permission."

Harrison complied, taking a few security guards upstairs with him.

The guests arriving now were mostly from the younger generation. Feeling the exhaustion setting in, Kendrick called Sebastian over and ordered, "I'm leaving this to you."

Sebastian offered a respectful nod. "Understood."

"As for those two upstairs, handle them however you see fit," Kendrick added sternly.

Sebastian nodded again, watching quietly as the old man retired to his room.

The moment Kendrick left, a swarm of younger relatives crowded around Sebastian, eager to schmooze.

Standing dead center, Sebastian listened to their endless chatter with an emotionless face, occasionally tossing out a generic reply, enduring the agonizing boredom of the family gala.

In stark contrast to the chaotic energy at the Vance estate, Elara's apartment was entirely peaceful.

A few days prior, Elara had hired a cleaning service to scrub the place top to bottom, sparing her family the soul-crushing exhaustion of a deep holiday clean.

After getting off work early, Elara double-checked the Holiday Provisions list with Jocelyn, ultimately deciding to take Melody to the supermarket to stock up on extra snacks.
