Chapter 64
Upon hearing that Beatrice was in trouble, Sebastian immediately ordered, “Quick! Push me over there!”
Caitlin hurriedly wheeled Sebastian into the main hall. Before they even entered, they could already hear shouting from inside. It was a sharp, accusing voice.
“Am I wrong? If you hadn’t kicked me out of the Vanderbilt family back then, would I have ended up like this today? Are you seriously this cruel of a mother? I swear, you must be the most evil mother in the world! Now, I’m just here to claim the part of the inheritance that belongs to me. Is that so wrong?”
Sebastian furrowed his brow upon hearing the voice, even before seeing the person. He didn’t need to look to know who it was. It had to be his aunt Freya, who had been cast out of the Vanderbilt family many years ago. And of course, now she was back, demanding her share of the inheritance.
Caitlin wheeled him into the room, where they saw a woman with reddish–brown wavy hair, standing defiantly in the middle of the living room with her hands on her hips. Beatrice, seated in a chair, looked like a crumpled wax figure, sighing deeply.
Freya turned to Grace and said, “Sister–in–law, I call you ‘sister–in–law‘ out of respect. Tell me, why can’t I have my share? That’s my father’s legacy before he passed away!”
Grace remained silent, but Molly retorted, “Freya, what do you think you still have? The Vanderbilt family doesn’t owe you anything. If it weren’t for you, Grandpa wouldn’t have died from the heartache you caused!”
“Shut up, Molly! You’re still single at your age, how embarrassing! I’m your elder, so stay quiet when I speak!”
Freya shouted at Molly, causing Molly to flare up in anger.
Then, Freya threatened, “If you won’t give it to me, I’ll
through lawyers. I’ll have them send you a letter, and you’ll be getting a court summons soon!”
Freya was about to leave when she saw Sebastian sitting in the wheelchair.
“Oh, my second nephew, what happened to you? How did you end up like this? Still sitting in a wheelchair at such a young age? And The Vanderbilt family still expects you to inherit everything? What a joke!”
“Freya! This family doesn’t welcome you. What are you doing back here?” Sebastian’s voice was thick with anger, even though he couldn’t see her. He could clearly sense the sarcasm in her words.
He was furious, gripping the armrests of his wheelchair tightly, his knuckles turning white.
“If you came back to collect a debt, then get out of here!” Sebastian snapped.
Freya, sensing the tension, laughed smugly. “Ha! Not to be rude, but you’ve become blind and crippled. Your son is mute, and with that kind of gene from Eliza, it’s no wonder that your family is a complete disaster! There’s not one decent person in this family!”
At that point, Freya’s insults crossed a line, mocking three generations of them.
Sebastian couldn’t take it anymore. He tried to get up, but Caitlin stopped him, pressing her hand on his shoulder.
Then, to everyone’s shock, Caitlin slapped Freya three times, one after another.
Slap!
Slap!
Slap!
The slaps echoed loudly in the room. Freya was stunned, not immediately processing what had just happened. Her face was on fire, and the red imprints of Caitlin’s hand quickly appeared.

Freya’s anger flared. “Who… who do you think you are? How dare you me?1”
Once Freya was gone, Molly sighed in relief and turned to her grandmother. “Grandma, don’t be upset.”
