Chapter 927
Mira swung the door open and found Sebastian and Gwen standing on the porch.
“Sebastian, Gwen. What brings you two here p>
“Mira, you’re up early. Heading to class?” Sebastian asked with a forced smile.
Gwen ignored the pleasantries, her eyes darting around the house. “Is Eleanor not awake yet? Really, Mira, you’ve all finished breakfast and didn’t even bother to get her up.” Gwen fired off accusations without a second thought.
“Relax, Gwen. Eleanor’s health and wellness routine here is ten times better than anything she had at your place p>
“Excuse me? Sebastian, look at her! I barely said a word and she’s already snapping at me,” Gwen huffed.
“Enough, both of you. Drop it. Mira, go wake Eleanor up. I need to speak with her.” “Unfortunately, she isn’t home p>
“Not home? Where the hell did you stash her?” Gwen shrieked, instantly panicking.
“Eleanor told me she’d never traveled out of the country, so I had some people fly her to Australis for a vacation p>
“Australis? Are you out of your mind? A woman her age taking a flight like that? Do you think she can handle a long-haul journey? Sebastian, do something! Are you just going to let your niece torture your mother p>
“Relax. I hired a private medical team for twenty-four-hour care, backed by twenty elite bodyguards. If she so much as gets tired of walking, they’ll carry her. I’ve got a buddy over there handling the logistics and putting her up in the best five-star suites. I guarantee she’s eating well, having a blast, and resting perfectly. We’re in constant contact p>
Mira shot Gwen a cool look. “I actually just got off the phone with her. She’s having the time of her life. She doesn’t want to come back anytime soon-she wants to stay another week or two p>
“Liar! You’ve never even been to Australis. What friends?” Gwen sneered, half- suspicious, half-disbelieving.
“That shows how little you know. I haven’t been, but Owen has. His friends are effectively my friends,” Mira stated with a perfectly straight face.
“What kind of absolute nonsense is that? How do you round up a friendship? Where exactly did you hide her Gwen demanded. She had been banking on Eleanor
nevern
contributing to Seraphina’s dowry. The old woman held fifteen percent of the Quinn Group’s shares-a
stake worth billions of dollars, roughly a quarter of the family’s total assets. Even though Eleanor had already legally transferred those shares to this wretched brat, Gwen refused to believe that stubborn hag wouldn’t leave a single cent to her own biological granddaughter!
“Eleanor! Mom Mom!” Gwen started shrieking as she stormed through the house. Sebastian didn’t yell, but he certainly didnt stop his wife from ransacking the place with her eyes. Gwen’s voice pitched higher with every scream, “Mom! Mom! Mooooom!” Her shrieks were
enough to shatter eardrums.
They were utterly convinced Mira was lying and had Eleanor stashed away somewhere.
“Are you crying over a corpse? The old lady isn’t dead, but you’ll deafen her to the grave with that screeching! Get out! Get the hell out!” Mira jumped as Master Ellis burst out of his room.
“Jordan? When did you get back?” If Mira had known he was home, she wouldn’t have bothered turning back. With Master Ellis around, there wasn’t a problem he couldn’t handle.
“I rolled in around midnight and didn’t sleep until one. You ungrateful brat, instead of letting an old man rest, you let this absolute psycho stand in the house howling like a banshee p>
Mira blinked, stunned. Sebastian and Gwen were equally dumbfounded.
“How dare you speak to me like that, old man? Who are you calling a psycho?” She was a distinguished professor Professor Quinn She commanded respect across the university campus, only for this decrepit old fool to hurl insults at her p>
“Get out! Get the hell out! Walk out that door or I’ll beat you out myself, then call the police to haul your asses to jail p>
Left with no choice, Sebastian dragged a resisting Gwen toward the exit. Just before they crossed the threshold, he glanced back. “Mira, seriously, where did you take her p>
