Chapter 932
“That’s more like it p>
Mira said, tilting her head.
After dinner, just as Mira and Owen were heading upstairs to the study, Martha Vance walked over. “Mr. and Mrs. Quinn are here p>
Owen shot Mira a knowing look. “What did I tell you p>
“Thank goodness Eleanor didn’t come back p>
Mira muttered, feeling a sudden wave of relief before turning toward the entrance.
“You go handle them. I’m staying out of it. I have no desire to see those two p>
Owen said.
“Go on, then. You being here wouldn’t help anyway p>
Mira could argue with them, even curse them out, but Owen, as a future relative, had to keep a certain distance.
“Sebastian, I already told you Eleanor isn’t here. Why did you come back p>
Mira asked, skipping the pleasantries.
Sebastian stayed silent, but Gwen immediately started squawking. “Just because Eleanor isn’t here means we can’t visit? Is that how you speak to your elders? How completely ill-bred.
Sebastian, look at her p>
“If I’m so ill-bred, why do you keep running over to my house p>
Sebastian sat heavily on the sofa while Martha poured them tea.
“Seraphina got married today p>
“I know p>
“Since Eleanor didn’t attend, we brought the wedding video for her to watch p>
Mira knew it. Gwen just wanted to flaunt how extravagant her daughter’s wedding
was.
“Fine, leave it here. I’ll make sure Eleanor sees it when she gets back p>
“Mira, when are you getting married p>
Sebastian asked.
“I’ll have to reach the legal age and graduate from university first p>
“Can Owen wait that long p>
Gwen sneered.
“Why wouldn’t he? Since he chose me, he’ll have to wait p>
“From now on, our Sera is the matriarch of the Lance family. You two girls need to get along well p>
Gwen bragged again.
“Then I wish her success.
But I don’t need to get along with her. With my massive fortune, marrying into the Lance family would be a loss.
I’ll take a husband into my own household p>
Mira shot Gwen a sidelong glance.
“What? Take a husband into your household? Are you crazy? Would Owen even agree to that p>
Even Sebastian found it hard to
believe. After all, it was still a male-dominated society, let alone someone of Owen’s immense status
“He agreed p>
“Is he leaving the Lance family again? Makes sense, considering someone died
right after he took over the company p>
Gwen grew excited once more.
“You’re celebrating too early. Owen won’t leave the Lance family. Even if he did, he’d take most of the family assets with him.
Because he and his mother built half of that empire.
As for the murder you mentioned, maybe Lawrence was the one behind it p>
Pausing, Mira locked eyes with them both. “Who knows, maybe the police will come drag Lawrence away any day now.
You should go back and remind Seraphina to mentally prepare herself p>
“Who are you cursing p>
Gwen abruptly shot up from the
Menging forward as if to s smoothly to block her content t Jax Weaver steppede tot
Honestly, even if Jax hadn’t intervened, Gwen would never have won a fight against Mira.
“If you won’t listen to advice, then so be it. Since you’ve dropped off the video, you can see yourselves out p>
There was no point wasting breath on them, and Mira was eager to get upstairs to work.
After all, she needed to clear her schedule to learn about jewelry from Eleanor tomorrow.
With no other choice, Sebastian stood up and awkwardly took his leave.
Right before stepping out the door, he turned to Mira. “Was Lawrence really behind that murder p>
“Believe what you want p>
“How is that possible? Sebastian, what’s wrong with you? Are you really going to believe her nonsense?
How could Lawrence be capable of something like that p>
