Chapter 7 Mr. Sean’s Help

Alice glared in exasperation. “Xander!”

She was about to speak when she heard the sound of a teacup lid being lifted. The clear sound was not loud, but it was enough to silence her. Her mouth closed instantly in alarm.

Clarissa looked at Xander with a wounded expression, her eyes welling up with tears. “Xander …”

Although Clarissa knew that love in wealthy families was often fickle, she was still hurt that Xander had so easily switched from talking about marrying her to marrying Claire after they had been together for over a decade. What did she mean to him?

Was she worth less than the ten percent share in the Morgan Group?

Xander was also infuriated, but he didn’t want to be punished by his father or lose his position as heir to the Morgan Group. He clenched his teeth and said, “Claire, fine, I’ll marry you, but forget about the shares!”

“Heh…” Claire sneered. “You want to marry, and I don’t want to.”

“Mr. Vanderbilt!” Xander turned to look at Sean. “You heard it, right? It’s not that I don’t want to marry her. It’s that she doesn’t want to marry me. Now she wants to cancel the marriage. It has nothing to do with me, so there’s no need for compensation.”

Sean raised an eyebrow, his thin lips curling slightly. “Is this how your mother, Evelyn, taught you?”

His voice was light, not exactly a reprimand, but it left Xander dumbfounded.

“You cheated on her own sister, showing disloyalty. You drugged her with coffee and sent her to another man’s bed, acting unjustly. For a disloyal and unjust man like you, which foolish woman would want to marry you?”

Clarissa, “…”

Why did she feel like Mr. Sean was indirectly scolding her?

Mr. Vanderbilt said in a firm voice, “The matter is settled. The engagement is off/ Claire will receive 10% of the Morgan Group’s shares as compensation.”

Sean pronounced the verdict without giving anyone a chance to object.

Although Xander was unwilling and reluctant, he could only grit his teeth and accept it, even if he had to swallow his pride.

Even with his father and mother here, they wouldn’t dare to defy Sean’s words, especially for someone of his generation.

Claire was somewhat surprised. She hadn’t expected Sean to be so reasonable. She had thought Sean was here to support Xander, but he was speaking so logically that she felt a bit embarrassed.
