Chapter 252: Hit Me!

“Do you think Claire could be the illegitimate daughter of Winona and Mr. Frederick? Before the two were married, they broke up and Winona escaped the wedding pregnant, gave birth to Claire, and became a single mother?”

“It’s possible! I guess the Vanderbilt family doesn’t know about this yet, it’s interesting, Claire is Mr. Frederick’s daughter and now she’s going to marry Mr. Frederick’s brother, that’s incest!”

Within a day, this gossip had spread through the streets of Ascalon, and almost wherever there were people, there was talk of the Vanderbilt family.

In the Vanderbilt family’s dining hall.

As usual, Claire, Sean, Julia, Belle, Jon, Cassie, and Frederick were having dinner with Master and Mrs. Vanderbilt.

It was a tradition of the Vanderbilt family, except for breakfast, the family members had to have meals together as a family.

However, the atmosphere today was not quite the same as usual; during the meal Master Vanderbilt did not say a word and ate with a sullen face, and Mrs. Vanderbilt did not look too well, the meal was a depressing one for all.

Just as she put down her chopsticks, Mrs. Vanderbilt said to Julia, “Julia, would you and Cassie take Belle and Jon out to the garden for a walk? We have something to say to Claire and Sean.”

Julia knew how to read faces and she knew that Master and Mrs. Vanderbilt

here were going to talk to Claire about serious matters, it wasn’t good for her to stay.
