    Chapter 7 Mr. Sean’s Help


    Alice red in exasperation. “Xander!”


    She was about to speak when she heard the sound of a teacup lid being lifted. The clear sound was


    not loud, but it was enough to silence her. Her mouth closed instantly in rm.


    rissa looked at Xander with a wounded expression, her eyes welling up with tears. “Xander …”


    Although rissa knew that love in wealthy families was often fickle, she was still hurt that Xander had


    so easily switched from talking about marrying her to marrying ire after they had been together for


    over a decade. What did she mean to him?


    Was she worth less than the ten percent share in the Morgan Group?


    Xander was also infuriated, but he didn’t want to be punished by his father or lose his position as heir to


    the Morgan Group. He clenched his teeth and said, “ire, fine, I’ll marry you, but forget about the


    shares!”


    “Heh…” ire sneered. “You want to marry, and I don’t want to.”


    “Mr. Vanderbilt!” Xander turned to look at Sean. “You heard it, right? It’s not that I don’t want to marry


    her. It’s that she doesn’t want to marry me. Now she wants to cancel the marriage. It has nothing to do


    with me, so there’s no need forpensation.”


    Sean raised an eyebrow, his thin lips curling slightly. “Is this how your mother, Evelyn, taught you?”

    His voice was light, not exactly a reprimand, but it left Xander dumbfounded.


    “You cheated on her own sister, showing disloyalty. You drugged her with coffee and sent her to


    another man’s bed, acting unjustly. For a disloyal and unjust man like you, which foolish woman would


    want to marry you?”


    rissa, “…”


    Why did she feel like Mr. Sean was indirectly scolding her?


    Mr. Vanderbilt said in a firm voice, “The matter is settled. The engagement is off/ ire will receive


    10% of the Morgan Group’s shares aspensation.”


    Sean pronounced the verdict without giving anyone a chance to object.

    Although Xander was unwilling and reluctant, he could only grit his teeth and ept it, even if he had


    to swallow his pride.


    Even with his father and mother here, they wouldn’t dare to defy Sean’s words, especially for someone


    of his generation.


    ire was somewhat surprised. She hadn’t expected Sean to be so reasonable. She had thought


    Sean was here to support Xander, but he was speaking so logically that she felt a bit embarrassed.


    Sean’s gazended on ire’s face once more. “Are you satisfied with this oue?”


    ire gathered her thoughts and nodded in satisfaction. “Yes, now that it’s been resolved, I consider


    my issues with the Morgans to be settled. I won’t

    bring up the fact that my mother saved Xander’s mother again.”


    As she spoke, ire suddenly paused, her gaze shifting to Robert. “However, I have another matter.”


    Robert knew exactly what ire was referring to. His face instantly fell. “ire, I warn you, don’t take it


    too far!”


    ire said firmly, “Father, Alpha Ventures was founded by my mother. When she passed away, she left


    a will that divided her 51% share into two parts, 25% for you and 26% for me after I came of age. I am


    now 23 years old, which means I am an adult. Therefore, you should give me my share of the


    company.”


    Robert’s head was throbbing with anger. The reason he had conspired with Alice to frame ire was to


    secure ire’s portion of the shares for himself. However …


    He didn’t want to bring up the past, but he was not going to give ire the shares easily.


    “Mr. Sean,” he said, addressing Sean with respect. “This is a family matter. As you know…”


    Robert’s meaning was clear; that he didn’t want Sean involved in his family affairs.


    Sean raised an eyebrow, standing upright. “Indeed, this is your family matter, unrted to the Morgans.


    There’s no need for me to continue listening.”


    A sigh of relief washed over Robert. With Sean leaving, he had ways to deal with ire without


    interference.

    He walked up with ttery, “Mr. Sean, allow me to escort you.”


    As he passed ire, Sean suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Arguing won’t resolve the matter you


    mentioned earlier. Not everyone is as reasonable as I am.”


    ire looked at him in surprise. Wasn’t he leaving?


    What was the purpose of sharing this with her?

    Observing her stunned expression, Sean pursed his lips and slipped a hand into his pocket. He pulled


    out a business card and handed it to her. “Since- your mother left a will, the most efficient way to


    handle this is to consult awyer.”


    The business card bore the name of a prominentwyer, along with his contact information. ire


    instantly understood. She reached out and epted it, saying, “Thank you.”””

    Robert was frustrated, his teeth grinding. He turned to look at Xander once again, silently asking, “Are


    you sure Mr. Sean came to support you?”


    Why did he feel like ever since Sean entered the scene, he had been helping


    ire?


    Robert and even Xander had noticed that this elder was tantly siding with ire.


    But why was Sean helping ire so much?


    Seeing that Sean was about to leave, ire stood up. “You’re right. I’ll leave the matter of the will to the


    lawyer. I won’t stay here to interrupt your romantic discussions.”


    She walked over and stood beside Sean. “I’ll walk with you.”


    Robert was dumbfounded.


    ire had been missing for four years, and he had finally seized an


    opportunity to confront her. Yet now she was leaving like this. When the


    He became increasingly frantic. He gave signals to Alice and Xander with his


    eyes.


    Xander didn’t want to let ire go just yet. He took a few steps towards her, but Sean stood beside her


    and said, “Alright, let’s go together.”


    Xander, “…”

    Even though they wanted to say something to keep ire, not a single one of

    Who would dare to cause trouble in front of Mr. Sean?


    And who would dare to stay behind with someone who was walking alongside Mr.


    Sean? .


    They could only watch unwillingly as ire and Sean walked away right before their eyes.


    As soon as they stepped out, ire couldn’t help but burst intoughter. “Haha! I’ve never seen my


    dad look so defeated before.”


    Sean cast a sidelong nce at her, not saying a word, but the corners of his lips subtly curved.


    ire was genuinely delighted. She had expected to face a tough battle when she came here today.


    They wouldn’t have allowed her to leave so easily if it didn’t escte to a full-blown confrontation.


    Unexpectedly, Sean’s arrival made things progress very smoothly, and she even obtained what she


    wanted.

    Vanderbilt. He and you are peers. But don’t you think that’s a bit too informal?”
