Chapter 730
But what he had seen and heard today completely shattered his previous perception of her.
“When I first heard about it, I didn’t believe it either. But now, I do p>
“Since she’s so capable, why don’t we partner with her? The tech and internet sectors are booming right now p>
His parents didn’t answer, and Grandma Eleanor couldn’t be bothered to say another word.
“Where is Sera p>
Sebastian asked.
Gwen replied, “She went straight to bed when she got back. She’s exhausted p>
“Exhausted? More like furious, right? Those two stole the entire spotlight at the banquet today p>
Miles always spoke his mind.
“Owen is leagues ahead of Lawrence.
I don’t understand. With an outstanding niece and nephew-in-law like Mira and Owen, why force Seraphina to marry Lawrence?
Dad, how does your brain even work p>
The three of them remained silent.
They knew that saying anything would inevitably spark another screaming match.
“We’re doomed. Knowing my sister’s fragile, stubborn nature, and Lawrence’s capacity for ruthlessness, she’s bound to suffer.
Since they aren’t married yet, we might as well call off the engagement p>
“What nonsense are you spouting? What’s wrong with Lawrence? Even without Owen, isn’t he still running the family business?
Everyone has flaws. Don’t harp on them p>
Gwen couldn’t hold back anymore.
However, as long as she didn’t insult Mira directly, the old lady ignored her.
“I’m heading to Mira’s place tomorrow. I’m just giving you a heads-up.
I’m tired. Mrs. Higgins, help me to my room p>
Supported by Mrs. Higgins, the old lady walked away step by step. Sebastian suddenly felt as though something vital was slipping away from him.
“Mom, why do you have to stay at Mira’s? Why can’t you just stay here with us p>
He thought his mother wouldn’t reply, but just as she turned the corner, she suddenly said, “It’s comfortable at Mira’s. I won’t be coming back. I live with her from How on.
I wash my hands of the affairs in this house. Do whatever you want.” “Mom p>
Sebastian called out, but the old lady offered no further response.
It was ridiculous. She was passing over her two sons-and even her daughter-to live with an unmarried granddaughter? What kind of logic was that?
Not to mention, there were other grandchildren to consider.
If word got out, people would laugh. They would think he mistreated the elderly.
Miles, however, lit up. “Grandma, I’ll drop you off at her place tomorrow!” he yelled excitedly.
He was dying to meet this mysterious, phenomenal cousin of his.
His father smacked him on the back of the head. “Drop her off? For what p>
He was making it look like they couldn’t wait to kick the old lady out.
The boy had just returned from abroad and clearly had no grasp of domestic social nuances.
The next morning, when Mira arrived at the university, several reporters were waiting at the campus gates.
She realized then that staying

“Listen, everyone. I understand you have a job to do, and I’m more than happy to do interviews.
However, you need to make an appointment.
Class is about to start, and I really don’t have time to answer any questions right
now p>
Mira gave them her secretary’s number. “Contact Cyrus Montgomery to schedule a time p>
“Miss Mercer, is Mr. Owen Lance really your fiancé p>
“Yes. Everything we said at the banquet yesterday was the truth.
Everything I’ve ever told the media before was also true. Please refrain from
repeating the same questions in the future.
Now, off to class I go p>
Silas Vane and Jax Weaver stepped up to block the crowd, allowing Mira to walk through the gates.
