Evelyn only acted high and mighty when talking to them. She should be subservient just like before whenever she talked to Sean.

“Alright.”

She snorted and wrapped her arms around Sean’s arm. “Why does it feel like she knew we were coming?”

“Of course she does,” Sean replied, gently patting her on the hand. “Xander came home last night. If Evelyn still did not know I would be coming today, she would have wasted everything the Vanderbilts had given her to date.”

The Vanderbilts were a family with a long lineage that had been well–known for giving birth to dozens of intelligent individuals throughout history.

During times of peace, the main family would become civil servants while the branch family members went on to become business owners. In times of turmoil the Vanderbilts would all hide away their true strength to conserve energy.

The only reasons the Vanderbilts could stand strong through the ages were their strict family traditions, the wits of their patriarch, and unity among all family members.

Every Vanderbilt excelled at politics and strategies.

Thus, none of the branch family members who benefited from the family’s connections and resources were fools.

As a child, when Claire heard about the Vanderbilts from Robert, she thought it was impossible for every single individual in a family as huge as the Vanderbilts to be that smart and cunning.

their lives.

As she thought that, Evelyn returned to the room with a smile on her lips and a folder in her hands that she placed in front of Sean.

She did not sit down, however, and merely stood near the coffee table. “Mr. Sean, I have the transfer agreement ready for 25% of Alpha Ventures shares. Claire just needs to sign the agreement, and the shares will be hers.”

Sean did not pick up the folder and calmly glanced at it. “The shares are yours. If you give them to me just like that, people will think I’m abusing

my power.”

“Haha, no way,” Evelyn gracefully chuckled. Despite being older than Sean by over a decade, she remained very subservient and respectful. “The shares are meant to be Claire’s in the first place.”
