Evelyn only acted high and mighty when talking to them. She should be subservient just like before whenever she talked to Sean.
“Alright.”
She snorted and wrapped her arms around Sean’s arm. “Why does it feel like she knew we were coming?”
“Of course she does,” Sean replied, gently patting her on the hand. “Xander came home last night. If Evelyn still did not know I would be coming today, she would have wasted everything the Vanderbilts had given her to date.”
The Vanderbilts were a family with a long lineage that had been well–known for giving birth to dozens of intelligent individuals throughout history.
During times of peace, the main family would become civil servants while the branch family members went on to become business owners. In times of turmoil the Vanderbilts would all hide away their true strength to conserve energy.
The only reasons the Vanderbilts could stand strong through the ages were their strict family traditions, the wits of their patriarch, and unity among all family members.
Every Vanderbilt excelled at politics and strategies.

Thus, none of the branch family members who benefited from the family’s connections and resources were fools.
As a child, when Claire heard about the Vanderbilts from Robert, she thought it was impossible for every single individual in a family as huge as the Vanderbilts to be that smart and cunning. Now, it seemed like those who were lacking in wits would only be given enough to survive by the family while the truly intelligent of them all would be given enough resources to improve
their lives.
As she thought that, Evelyn returned to the room with a smile on her lips and a folder in her hands that she placed in front of Sean.
She did not sit down, however, and merely stood near the coffee table. “Mr. Sean, I have the transfer agreement ready for 25% of Alpha Ventures shares. Claire just needs to sign the agreement, and the shares will be hers.”
Sean did not pick up the folder and calmly glanced at it. “The shares are yours. If you give them to me just like that, people will think I’m abusing
my power.”
“Haha, no way,” Evelyn gracefully chuckled. Despite being older than Sean by over a decade, she remained very subservient and respectful. “The shares are meant to be Claire’s in the first place.”
Sean raised an eyebrow and stared up at Evelyn with deep and quiet eyes. “Wh do you say that?”
“I actually have the shares because Madeline gave them to me. I did not spenc a single cent on them.”

“My mother?”
Claire’s heart abruptly sank. While it had been two decades since Madeline’s death, there was always a special place in her heart reserved for Madeline.
She knew very little about her mother, but she wanted to know more about
Madeline.
“Mrs. Evelyn…”
As soon as Claire said that, Evelyn’s face instantly twisted as she hurriedly
waved a hand in front of her. “You don’t need to call me that, Claire.”
Evelyn glanced at Sean before continuing with an awkward smile, “If Mr. Sean marries you, I’ll have to call you Mrs. Claire.”
Evelyn acted exactly like Jason had back then, causing Claire to let out a helpless sigh before agreeing to change the way she addressed Evelyn. “Can you tell me why my mother gave you those shares back then, Evelyn? Why dic she engage me to Xander when we were children?”
“I don’t really know her exact reasons, but I believe Madeline had been worried about Robert. As no one will be there to support you after she passes away, you will live a horrible life the moment Robert remarried. That was why she gave me 25% of Alpha Ventures. She wanted me to protect you with the Morgans as a source of support for you.”
Claire was confused by the explanation.
It was somewhat different from what she knew about the situation.
“Is it true that Mom saved you back then?”

“Alright.” Sean then turned to Evelyn. “After Madeline gave you the shares, how long was it before she passed away?”
