Billionaire's Regret Finding Her (Caitlin and Sebastian) novel Chapter 3

Jasmine thought she had seen a ghost. She screamed and hid in her mother’s arms. “Ah, it’s a ghost… a ghost, Mom…”

“Are you human or a ghost?”

Jonathan asked in panic, remembering that after the fire five years ago, a charred corpse had been found in the ashes. They had assumed it was Caitlin, and fearing a police investigation, they hastily cremated and buried the remains.

Now, seeing her standing here, everyone was terrified, filled with fear!

“She’s not a ghost! Ghosts don’t cast shadows! Is it really Caitlin? Could she still be alive?” Megan exclaimed in shock.

“That’s right! I’m Caitlin, and I’m still alive!”

Five years ago, Dominic had died in her place!

Compared to the wretched and desperate escape she had made five years ago, Caitlin now stood firm, fearless.

The past was etched in her memory, filled with lessons learned in blood, all of which had forged her growth.

Her heart had hardened, becoming strong and unbreakable!

For her mother, for the Jonathan Family, for Dominic, and for herself, every blood debt would be repaid in kind!

Caitlin stood in front of them, her cold gaze sweeping over their shocked faces. “I’ve come back alive. Does that disappoint you?”

Megan was the first to recover, putting on a fake smile of warmth. “Oh my, Caitlin’s really back! You didn’t die; that’s wonderful! You have no idea how your father and I have been these past years. We thought you were dead, and we’ve been grieving all this time.”

How hypocritical!

Just as disgusting as before!

Grieving? More like celebrating her misfortune until now!

“I can’t seem to see any signs of grief. On the contrary, once my mother died, Aunt Megan couldn’t wait to marry my father, and now your whole family is living happily. Dad’s become a business tycoon, and Aunt Megan, a lady of wealth and status. How glamorous!”

Caitlin’s biggest regret was that two months after she left, her mother had passed away. She hadn’t been able to return in time for the funeral, not even to see her one last time.

How had her mother died?

She would find out!

The people standing before her were definitely involved!

Megan tugged on Jonathan’s sleeve, and Jonathan finally snapped out of his daze. He asked, “Caitlin, you didn’t die… where have you been all these years? Why didn’t you come back?”

Jonathan pretended to be concerned, but inside he was trembling with fear. From the look in his daughter’s eyes, he knew she wasn’t here with good intentions.

Why had she suddenly returned? What did she want?

A mocking smile appeared on Caitlin’s lips as she looked over at Jasmine. “Well, I’m back now, aren’t I? Just in time for my sister’s wedding!”

Jasmine got up from the floor, having completely forgotten the terrible things she had done to Caitlin five years ago. She smiled ingratiatingly. “Caitlin, are you serious? Would you really be willing to marry Sebastian in my place?”

“Of course. I’ve been gone for five years. Now that I’m back, I should do something for The Lewis Family to repay all the hard work Dad and Aunt Megan have done for me.”

Every word Caitlin spoke was laced with sarcasm, her tone full of bitterness.

In truth, she had returned today with one purpose: to marry Sebastian.

Whether Sebastian lived or died, she was going to marry him!

Jonathan’s expression faltered, but he replied smoothly, “I’m glad you think that way. If you’re willing to marry in place of your sister, then it’s settled.”

Caitlin’s agreement to marry solved a huge problem for Megan and Jasmine. After all, the astrological chart was Caitlin’s, so it was more fitting for her to walk into the fire.

Soon, a servant rushed in to report, “Master, Madam, the car from The Vanderbilt Family has arrived! They’re here to pick up the bride!”

“Good, good. Tell them we’ll be ready shortly!”

The wedding dress prepared for Jasmine was soon passed to Caitlin. She donned the veil and was escorted out of The Lewis Family mansion.

The Vanderbilt Family, the leading family among New York’s five great houses, sent a convoy of over a dozen Rolls-Royces to fetch the bride.
