Chapter 361: You Believe What She Said!?
“ire, my love for your mother was witnessed by heaven and earth. After she left, I’ve had no other
woman in my life. My life has been solitary, without a wife or children, all because my feelings for
your mother were too profound.” Joseph Felix said, swallowing hard, his pace quickening as he noticed
the increasing sarcasm in ire Donovan’s eyes.
“Turn the page?” ireughed, shaking her head, tears of mirth falling. “Joseph Felix, please,
spare me the noble act. Mia Ashworth had already caused a scene at the Summers! Why didn’t you
distance yourself from her then? I believe you didn’t know about this. If you did, you wouldn’t have
the audacity to say these absurdities to my face!”
Joseph Felix blinked, stunned. He could tell Mia Ashworth had told ire something, so he snorted
disdainfully. “What did Mia Ashworth tell you? ire, you believe her words!?”
“Why shouldn’t I believe her?” ire’s scorn was palpable. “Joseph Felix, you used her to strike at
the Felix, discarded her without remorse, and directly provoked her rage! Do you know, after my
mother sessfully fled the wedding. Mia found her and told her she was pregnant with your child,
among other things? I asked you before, why didn’t my mother seek you out after fleeing the wedding?
It turns out, it was all thanks to you. Do you still think you are innocent?”
“What… what?” Joseph Felix’s eyes widened in disbelief, his lips trembling, unable to utter another
word.
ire chuckled, bent down to put on her high heels, and stood up. Joseph Felix’s face was still

etched with shock as she nced down and, without a word, gestured to Sean Vanderbilt and left.
Joseph Felix stood, transfixed, ire’s words echoing in his mind. Only now did he realize why
Winona Summers, despite sessfully fleeing the wedding, didn’t seek him out. He had never given
her
real security, and in pursuing his own goals, he had pushed her further away, ultimately losing even
the most basic trust…
Stepping outside, ire Donovan took a deep breath of the sea air. Being in the same room as Joseph
Felix had been suffocating, making even her breathing feel unnatural.
Sean Vanderbilt stood by her side, gazing at her slightly flushed cheeks, and sighed softly. He
removed his suit jacket and gently draped it over her shoulders…

Stepping outside, ire Donovan took a deep breath of the sea air. Being in the same room as Joseph
Felix had been suffocating, making even her breathing feel unnatural.
Sean Vanderbilt stood by her side. gazing at her slightly flushed cheeks, and sighed softly. He removed
his suit jacket and gently draped it over her shoulders…
Standing on the deck, ire Donovan gazed at the sea, the wind dancing with her hair. After a moment
of silence, she spoke softly, “Do you think I’m being unreasonable?”
Sean Vanderbilt was momentarily taken aback, not expecting this to be her firstment after leaving.
He shook his head and drew her into his embrace. His chest was broad, offering ire a sense of
security. Despite the swaying deck beneath their feet, she felt entirely at ease.
“ire, everyone has their story and temperament. What you did today isn’t unreasonable. After all,
your mother’s time in Silverton wasn’t happy, and your upbringing was particrly challenging. None of
this can be mended by Joseph Felix’s mere words.”
ire Donovan smiled, leaning her head on his shoulder, reveling in the warmth. Perhaps finding the
moment too beautiful, she wrapped her arms around Sean Vanderbilt’s lean waist.
“Sean, suddenly, I don’t feel like investigating my mother’s story anymore.”
“Hmm?” Sean looked down at her, his voice gentle, “Why is that?”
ire crinkled her nose, her voice dropping to a somber tone. “Up to now, I’ve seen too much
deception, witnessed the darker side of human nature. Even love…” She paused, her voice breaking
with emotion, “I’m afraid the final truth might be too much for me. I fear it might make me lose
faith in love.”
Sean exhaled deeply, his greatest fear mirrored in her words. Winona Summers‘ story seemed simple
but had vast implications, involving several families, including his own Vanderbilt lineage. He knew that
the eventual fallout could be extensive.
“These concerns can be set aside. If investigating brings you such distress, then let’s not pursue it
further,” he said, tightening his embrace, his chin gently resting on her forehead

These concerns can be set aside. If investigating brings you such distress, then let’s not pursue it
further he said, tightening his embrace, his chin gently resting on her forehead in a gesture of
tenderness and affection.
“Yes” ire decided, looking up at Sean with a bright smile. “Let’s not investigate further. From
now on, we’ll just focus on living our lives together.”
Sean chuckled softly, his chin brushing against her forehead.
“ire! ire!” Julia Sanders‘ voice suddenly rang out. ire and Sean turned to see her approaching
excitedly, with Frederick Vanderbilt following behind with a lowugh.
As Julia neared, she excitedly exined. “ire, there’s a yacht! It’s arranged by the organizers. They
initially nned to take us out to sea, but many found out and insisted on equal treatment. So they sent
me to ask if we still want to go sailing”
*Sailing?” ire’s eyes lit up, her spirits lifting. “Yes, of course! We haven’t been sailing yet!”
