Chapter 96
“Nothing much.”
Sebastian didn’t expect Caitlin to suddenly appear, and for a moment, he felt uneasy. He signaled Xavi to continue with the task and, understanding his cue, Xavi left the room to collect the hair samples.
Before confirming Caitlin’s identity, Sebastian didn’t want to engage with her too much. Fearing she’d distract him, he quickly put on his sunglasses.
“So, you want a divorce, huh? I just heard that,” Caitlin said, her voice tinged with a challenge.
Caitlin wasn’t the kind of woman to cling on desperately. She responded calmly, “If you feel that you’re well enough, we can go ahead with the divorce tomorrow.”
Hearing her speak so decisively made Sebastian think she couldn’t wait to get rid of him and find some young stud. Strangely, that thought left him
unsettled.
“I didn’t say tomorrow, though. Even though my legs have healed, my eyes still aren’t fully recovered.”
Sebastian knew he had to wait until the paternity test results came back before making any decisions on the divorce. To push Caitlin away and avoid further distraction, he changed the subject.
“Why aren’t you in the kitchen cooking? I’m hungry.”
“Fine, I’ll go prepare something,” Caitlin responded with a slight frown before walking towards the kitchen.
Soon after, Xavi returned from the room. Sebastian heard his footsteps and asked, “Did you find it?”
“I found it, Mr. Vanderbilt. I’ll head to the young master now.”
As Xavi left, Sebastian’s heart started to race, a mix of anticipation and nervousness filling him. Was Caitlin really Camellia? He was eager to know the
truth.
Before dinner was ready, a well–dressed and refined man walked into the Vanderbilt estate. Upon seeing Sebastian in the living room, he greeted him with a warm, “Seb.”
Sebastian’s expression stiffened as he immediately recognized the voice.
“Vincent?”
“Yes, I’ve returned from studying abroad.”
Vincent walked over and sat down beside him, taking Sebastian’s hand. “Sorry, I should have come back sooner to check on you.”
Sebastian quickly pulled his hand away, a cold expression crossing his face. “Should’ve come back sooner to see if I was dead. If I was, wouldn’t that have been better for you?”
Vincent knew Sebastian still couldn’t accept him, but he didn’t press the issue. His voice remained sincere. “Sebastian, whether you believe it or not, I never wished for anything bad to happen to you. When I heard about your accident abroad, I was heartbroken. Now that you’re recovering, I’m truly happy. Please trust me–I’ve never had any intentions of competing with you.”
Sebastian scoffed. “Hmph, you seem to have grown up a lot.”
Sebastian’s tone was dismissive. He knew all too well what kind of mother Vincent had, and if it weren’t for Grace interfering in his parents‘ marriage, Vincent and his sister, Hazel, wouldn’t have ever been able to get into the Vanderbilt family. He wasn’t buying any of this sentimental talk. After all, people weren’t always what they seemed.
“Yes, studying abroad has definitely made me grow a lot. I’ve learned so much. I even found someone I like.” Vincent couldn’t hide his excitement as he

shared the news.
“You found a girlfriend?” Sebastian asked, intrigued despite himself.
“Well… not exactly.” Vincent said, a shy smile forming on his face. “It’s more like I’ve been admiring her from afar.”
“It was at a horse race. She was riding a white horse, speeding through like the wind. When she stopped, her hat flew off and her hair flowed in the breeze. I was stunned! In that moment, I knew I had found my love.”
