Caitlin’s mind was racing as the mentally replayed the faces ed everyone in The Vanderbilt Vay
“Who could it be? Could it be
At this moment, Caitlin felt everyone seemed suspicion.
For instance, the hypocritical stepmother Grace or even William Could it be one of thems
Sebastian’s existence posed a direct threat to their interests. If he were ont of the picture, the chasers & going power and wealth would drastically increase.
If this was the case, it was terrifying
“What are you thinking about?” Sebastian’s voice pulled her out of her thoughts
“I was wondering could the person who orchestrated your car accident be the same one who instructed Peter to relexe fre snake?” Caitlin speculated.
“It’s possible. Whoever it is, a fox always reveals its tail eventually!”
Sebastian had suspected there was a connection between these incidents.
First, the car accident was intended to take his life. When that failed, someone released a deadly snake into his room- another clear attempt to kill him.
These weren’t isolated incidents. It was a series of calculated moves, likely orchestrated by the same person
Whoever the culprit was, Sebastian vowed to unmask them.
That night, before going to bed, Caitlin mentioned to Sebastian, “Sebastian, I’ll be heading out tomorrow for some errands. Let Xavi come by to look after you while I’m away?
Sebastian didn’t respond, and Caitlin didn’t repeat herself. Instead, she simply turned and left with Howard to get some rest.
The following morning, Caitlin ensured Howard had breakfast before Yasmin came to pick him up for school
Before leaving, Caitlin placed a small pendant around Howard’s neck and prepared to go herself.
.But Howard suddenly clung to her leg, refusing to let her leave.
The little boy was terrified. He worried that if his mommy left, she might not come back—just like before.
Caitlin could see her son’s reluctance and fear. Kneeling, she gently reassured him, “Howard, Mommy’s not leaving for good. I just need to run some errands. Be a good boy, go to school, and this afternoon, I’ll come pick you up, okay?”
Howard pouted, clearly still upset. Caitlin extended her pinky finger with a warm smile. “How about this? Let’s make a pinky promise?”
Howard hesitated for a moment but eventually extended his tiny finger to hook hers.
“Pinky promise. No breaking it.” Caitlin smiled, giving him a quick hug before walking away.
The moment his mommy left, Howard’s little face crumpled. His lips trembled as though he wanted to cry, but he stubbornly held back his tears.
He was so scared she wouldn’t come back.

“Howard, let’s go to school.” Yasmin approached, trying to coax him.
Howard ignored her completely. He grabbed his backpack on his own, climbed into the car, and refused to let her touch
him.
Watching his defiance, Yasmin’s expression twisted in frustration. Little brat. Why don’t you just drop dead already?
Quincy arrived to pick Caitlin up. Sitting in the backseat, she opened her laptop to review business updates while asking him, “Have you finished analyzing the medicine?”
“I’ve emailed the report to you.”
Opening her inbox, Caitlin reviewed the details.
