Chapter 627

作者: Lilian Green
“Word is, just a few days ago, David ran into Keith’s cousin at a bar. They got into a fight, and he beat him so badly he ended up in the hospital. The guy still hasn’t woken up.

“Of course the Sinclair family is going to come after them. And honestly, does Mr. Shea Sr. really think I have any influence over the Sinclairs? He’s giving me far too much credit.”

David had been spoiled into arrogance and recklessness. How he’d survived this long was a mystery. William had probably spent half his life cleaning up the boy’s messes.

A perfect example of how coddling ruins a grandson.

Ethan’s jaw dropped. “There’s actually more to it? No wonder Mr. Shea Sr. didn’t dare call you directly and only asked me to pass the message. He knows he’s in the wrong.

“He knows you and I are close, so he figured he could work on you through me. Classic emotional manipulation. The old man’s a lot more calculating than people give him credit for.

“Don’t worry about it. From now on, I’m not answering his calls.

  • Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO   Chapter 642

    At the hospitalLucas watched Vanessa doing strange movements on the bed, then turned to Autumn on the other side, who sat on the mattress cutting and stitching away.He nudged Keith and asked, “Hey, what’s wrong with them? Did they get possessed? One looks weirder than the other. It’s honestly a little creepy.”Before coming here, Keith never said anything about this. Lucas thought they just caught a normal cold.Who would’ve expected the two of them to act like they were cursed, their behavior so bizarre it was almost frightening.Keith sighed, helplessness flickering between his brows. “They ate mushrooms that weren’t fully cooked, and this is the result.”Luckily, he went home early to check whether they were asleep. Otherwise, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable.If he’d gone home later, or if Autumn started acting up outside and went around trying to “dig someone’s bird eggs,” it would’ve been a disaster.Just thinking about it made him break out in cold sweat.He clearly

    She’d once overheard the housekeeper mention something like that, though she had no idea if it was true.Still, it wasn’t like slightly undercooked food would kill her, right? With that in mind, she took a small bite to try.Her eyes brightened immediately. “Wow, this tastes amazing. No wonder everyone raves about it. I really like it.”“Autumn, you have to try this. It’s so good. Looks like we picked the right place.”The moment good food hit the table, she forgot all the unpleasant things that happened earlier. When it came down to it, nothing mattered more than a satisfied stomach.Autumn tried a spoonful as well and perked up. “You’re right. This is really good. I’d definitely come back for this.”They enjoyed the mild mushroom dish thoroughly, and once they wiped their mouths clean, they left feeling completely satisfied.Outside, a light drizzle had started. Autumn turned to Vanessa. “It’s raining now, and your car is still back there. Do you want to stay at my place tonight?”Th

    Caught off guard by how accurately she hit the mark, Eden panicked for a moment but forced himself to stay composed.He pulled Sienna into his arms, wearing a flattering smile. “Sienna, don’t misunderstand. You’re the only one I care about. You saw it yourself. I didn’t treat her any differently.“And besides, didn’t I make it perfectly clear to Vanessa just now? I don’t have any feelings for her at all. Isn’t that proof enough that you’re the only one in my heart?“Come on, Sienna. Let’s not let irrelevant people ruin our meal, okay?”Even if he did like Vanessa, what could that change? Feelings were intangible. Nothing anyone could grab onto.As long as he denied it firmly enough, Sienna would never find solid proof of anything.Thinking this, he paused, then continued, “And as for not speaking up earlier, that’s because her friend has a razor-sharp tongue.“I’m a guy—I’m not supposed to win a shouting match with her. If I stooped to her level and argued like that, wouldn’t that emba

    Seeing Vanessa grit her teeth like that filled her with satisfaction. This was exactly the reaction she wanted.She lived for moments where Vanessa was miserable; it fed her vanity like nothing else.Vanessa lowered her head, wanting to argue back, but years of swallowing her pride had trained her to stay quiet. Even if she was hurting, the words simply wouldn’t come out.Autumn, however, was nothing like her. She glared coldly at Sienna. “Sienna, you think everyone is as blind and clueless as you are?“If you like that man so much, go ahead and keep him. That’s about the limit of your vision anyway. Our Vanessa deserves far better.“Come on, let’s go. Eating near idiots might lower our IQ. I’ll take you out to eat somewhere better.”A man like Eden—desperate to climb the ranks and shortcut his way upward—was exactly the kind of person only someone as shortsighted as the Carters would take seriously.The moment she saw him, she finally understood why Keith had been so determined to mak

    Hearing the words “the capital’s most powerful heir’s sister,” Autumn and Vanessa exchanged a quick glance.Both of them caught the amusement in each other’s eyes.Sienna shot them a cold look. “What are you two laughing at? Do you really think Vanessa could be related to the Sinclair heir?“Stop dreaming. Plenty of people share the same last name. There’s no way something that coincidental would happen.“Vanessa is nothing but the trash I step on. If she were really part of the Sinclair family, she wouldn’t have let me walk all over her for all these years.”She would never believe Vanessa was truly a Sinclair. If she were, how could she have been so low-key?Back in high school, she walked all over Vanessa, and Vanessa never once pushed back.How could someone that clueless ever be worthy of the Sinclair name?Eden glanced at Vanessa, also convinced she couldn’t possibly be from that family. Wanting to please Sienna, he decided to twist the knife a little deeper.He said to Vanessa,

    “Trash like him is everywhere. If digging through the dumpster is really your thing, feel free to head over and pick through it. Who knows, maybe you’ll find a whole new collection.”“And one more thing, you keep flaunting your so-called future sister-in-law, but she’s serving a life sentence. “Saying that out loud in front of everyone… are you trying to make your brother look even worse?”Anyone with common sense would avoid bringing up a criminal in the family. But Sienna had the nerve to shout it out in public. It was almost impressive how clueless she was.The moment Autumn said it, the entire restaurant buzzed. Conversations broke out at every table.“So that’s her? The Carter CEO’s sister? And her future sister-in-law got life in prison and then killed herself? And she still claims she was innocent? Does she think the law is a joke?”“I heard the CEO’s sister got arrested herself for framing someone. Spent a whole month locked up. With a record like that, how good can her chara
