Chapter 945
“The truth is, the moment you agreed to that engagement, whatever bond we had was severed.
The second you said yes, you stood firmly against me and Owen p>
“You were so terrified of the backlash that you didn’t even dare to tell Grandma Eleanor about the engagement. You waited until the deal was done to invite her back for the party p>
Sera had been raised by Grandma Eleanor since she was a child.
“Afterward, when Grandma tried desperately to stop it, did either of you listen?
I even asked you myself: ‘Are you absolutely sure you want to engage her to Lawrence p>
You said yes without hesitation. Gwen even accused me of being jealous.
And now you have the nerve to blame us for not warning you p>
“After that, Sera teamed up with the Lance siblings to screw me over time and time again. Just a few days ago, she and Luna Lance came up to me and warned me that my days of glory were numbered.
Honestly, I’m starting to suspect that the assassins I encountered recently had ties to them p>
“What? That’s impossible p>
Sebastian denied instinctively.
“Is it? Go home and ask your precious daughter. You’ll find out soon enough p>
“Alright, I’m done talking. You should leave now.
Sebastian, for the sake of the time you saved me when I was little, I’ll give you one last piece of advice:
If you want your daughter to escape this absolute mess, her only option is divorce. Anything else is just a waste of breath p>
Whether Sebastian took the advice or not, Mira had done all she
willing to do.
“What about the business partnership between the Quinn Group and the Lance Family p>
Sebastian looked at Owen anxiously.
“Do whatever you want p>
Owen replied, completely indifferent.
“Continue it, pull your investments, or sever the assets completely. Take your pick p>
Severing meant cutting off a portion of the Lance Family’s assets to hand over to the Quinns as a buyout for their shares.
No one could threaten Owen with financial assets. He was ready to completely overhaul the corporation, and if that meant trimming the fat, he would do it without a second thought.
“One more thing,” Mira added coldly.
“Grandma is not to hear a
word about
any
E this outsider
drama, including Sera’s marriage.
She’s old, and she doesn’t need the stress.
In fact, it would be best if you didn’t even call her p>
“Where exactly is she p>
“Where she is doesn’t matter. What matters is that she’s happy and enjoying herself.
Don’t come looking for her here either. I don’t want her seeing you and getting suspicious p>
Mira replied flatly.
Sebastian just stood there. Had he really become a total plague to them?
“If you dare show your faces here again, I won’t hold back p>
Master Ellis growled.
His face burning bright red, Sebastian grabbed a resisting Gwen by the arm and dragged her out the door.
He never imagined there would come a day when he’d be treated like absolute trash by the younger generation.
The next day was Monday. Mira went to class as usual. Leah Monroe sent her a quick message:
“Sera didn’t show up today. Luna
Lance did, but her eyes are
Vel
completely bloodshot. Looks like

she’s been crying.net>
To keep Grandma Eleanor in high spirits, Mira went straight to the Aethelgard Jewelry Plaza after her classes. She accompanied the old lady picking out accessories and learning about gemstones.
If Mira didn’t show up, Grandma Eleanor would get anxious and suspect something was wrong.
Jillian Lowe insisted on tagging along every day, claiming it was a great learning opportunity.
Grandma Eleanor spent another full week exploring the Aethelgard Jewelry Plaza before finally heading home.
She told Mira she hadn’t had that much fun in years.
“As long as you’re happy, Grandma p>
Sera finally showed up on the day of the final exams.
Perhaps suffocating under the mounting pressure, she marched right up to Mira in
the cafeteria during lunch.
“You stepped all over Lawrence. Watch your back. Karma is coming for you.
I’m telling you, don’t get too arrogant. You’ll get what you deserve.
In just a few days, your mobile system development is going to hit a brick wall p>
