Billionaire's Regret Finding Her (Caitlin and Sebastian) novel Chapter 8

Sensing trouble, Lucy rushed back inside to find Sebastian.

Sebastian was lying in his room, already aware of the commotion outside. Though he could hear it, his immobile body left him helpless. As his frustration built, Lucy burst into the room.

“Mr. Vanderbilt, it’s bad! Willa’s people are trying to attack Caitlin. What should we do?”

Hearing Lucy’s hurried explanation, Sebastian pieced together that Caitlin had angered Willa in her effort to protect Howard.

Recalling the slap and the harsh words Caitlin had hurled at him earlier, Sebastian initially wanted nothing to do with the situation. However, he ultimately instructed Lucy to inform Beatrice and ask her to handle the matter.

As Lucy went to make the call, Sebastian tried to move but found his legs unresponsive. His blindness added to his helplessness.

Rage consumed him. He punched the mattress with a useless fist.

“I can’t even protect my own son! I’m nothing but a failure,” he thought bitterly.

Outside, Willa had summoned seven or eight male servants to confront Caitlin.

Caitlin stood her ground, unflinching. One by one, she knocked the men down, punching and kicking with precision and power.

By the time she was done, the servants lay groaning on the ground, while Caitlin stood unscathed.

Willa’s expression shifted from fury to fear. She had not expected this woman to be so formidable.

“You wretched woman! You’ll pay for this! Just you wait!” Willa spat angrily.

Caitlin smirked, her voice cold. “I’ll be here. Bring it on.”

Unable to do anything else, Willa fled with her group, muttering that she would report this to Beatrice and demand Caitlin’s removal.

As the intruders disappeared, Caitlin turned to find Howard standing at the doorway, his wide eyes gleaming with admiration.

“Howard, do you think Mommy is amazing? Would you like me to teach you some moves? That way, if anyone bullies you, you can fight back just like Mommy.”

Howard nodded earnestly. Of course, he wanted to learn. He wanted to be strong so no one could ever push him around again.

“Before you learn, you’ll need to eat well and get strong first. Only with a healthy body can you train properly,” Caitlin said, picking him up.

She carried Howard into the house. “For now, Mommy will cook you something delicious. How does that sound?”

Howard gazed at her quietly, but inside, something shifted.

Having Mommy around… wasn’t so bad after all.

Leaving Howard in the living room, Caitlin rolled up her sleeves and headed to the kitchen. As she chopped vegetables, Lucy came rushing in again, flustered.

“Caitlin, it’s bad! Beatrice wants to see you right away!”

Caitlin slammed the knife down onto the cutting board. “Fine. Let’s go see her!”
