Chapter 2 The Man Who Slept with You That Night

Four years later.

Sean Vanderbilt, the pride of the Vanderbilts, had not returned to Ascalon but had been living in Silverton.

While others might not know why, Victor certainly did.

Mr. Sean was butting heads with Claire!

The woman who had slept with him four years ago had seemingly vanished fro the earth, leaving no trace of her whereabouts.

Sean controlled the nation’s largest conglomerate and had an elite team under his command. He had utilized all his connections to search for Claire, yet nobody could find her.

Despite the aid of cutting-edge technology, they couldn’t catch a glimpse of a single strand of Claire’s hair.

This drove Mrs. Vanderbilt to desperation. Over the past four years, she had made countless phone calls, but Sean remained resolute in his decision not to return to Ascalon.

“Sean …” Mrs. Vanderbilt couldn’t let it rest and continued pleading on the phone, “Your nephew has found a girlfriend this year. You’re already thirty-two. If you don’t marry soon, people will call you an old bachelor.””

Sean, walking through the airport while talking on the phone, said, “Everyone addresses me as Mr. Sean of the Vanderbilts. Who would dare to undermine m reputation?”

reputation?”

Mrs. Vanderbilt was directly choked by his words and coughed a few times.

Among her five children, Sean was the one who caused her the most worry.

Sean was her precious child, and she had spoiled him rotten since he was little. However, this indulgence had led to him developing a stubborn and

unruly temperament. He was like a wild horse that had never been tethered, running free without constraint. Now that she wanted to control him, it proved impossible.

After her coughing fit, Mrs. Vanderbilt wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and sobbed, “I haven’t been feeling well lately. My heart keeps hurting. I just wanted you to come back and start a family before I pass away. Can’t you fulfill such a simple request? Sob, sob, sob…”

Sean was accustomed to this ploy of Mrs. Vanderbilt’s and didn’t find it strange at all. He had seen her use it on his father countless times.

His father fell for it every time, but he didn’t.

It wasn’t that Sean didn’t fall for it, but rather that he had become numb to

“Alright, Mom, please don’t cry anymore. If your heart isn’t well, see a doctor. I have to go through a security check now.”

“Ah, wait a moment!”

Mrs. Vanderbilt knew Sean was about to end the call, so she quickly said, “Brighton is not far from Ascalon. Why don’t you come home after you’re done in Brighton? I miss you.”
