Chapter 7
When I went back, I curiously asked about Seamus in the car.
My brother sighed and told me everything in detail.
Originally, his grandfather planned to hand over the full management of the company to Seamus after his marriage.
But Seamus’s aunt Gina was not an easy person to deal with. She believed that the family business should be divided
equally between her husband and Seamus’s father.
But these two people, their minds are simply worse than each other. Especially his second uncle, who was manipulated by someone before and lost a lot of money. If it weren’t for Seamus turning the tide, the Cain family would probably have
been folded in half by him.
Is that true? How could Sir Cain bear to hand over the hard work of several generations of the Cain family to him?
Gina couldn’t persuade Sir Cain, so she came to deal with him.
To sabotage this marriage, Gina did a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Especially when it came to ruining this marriage, she
spared no effort.
Seamus was originally wary of Gina, but he did not expect that she would even exploit her own newly adult son.
Seamus was just caught off guard by his cousin and fell for it.
I couldn’t help but sigh.
There were many scandals in the grand mansion, unlike my family’s nine generations of single inheritance. It was only in my generation that my parents forcefully created another me.
Before I could even complain, my brother’s phone rang.
I glanced and unexpectedly, it was a call from Christian. My brother was going around a bend and didn’t have time, so he
asked me to help answer it.
I hesitated for a moment, then I pressed the answer button for him and turned on the speakerphone.
Christian’s voice was urgent, as soon as the phone was answered, he spoke.
“Garrett, did your sister go back?”
My brother glanced at me, laughing heartily..
“Yeah, how did you know?” “Well…”
Christian paused for a moment and didn’t dare to say much. He simply said, “Can I have your sister answer the phone? I
have some things I want to ask her.”
My brother laughed even more happily, “Then you ask, she happens to be right next to me and can hear it.”
Christian fell silent instead and after a while, he cautiously asked, “Renee, can I talk to you alone?”

My brother finally sensed something was amiss, giving me two sideways glances before speaking again, which already
carried a warning.
“What’s the matter? Am I not allowed to listen? Are you trying to ask me how to win back your beloved from my sister?”
Christian sighed heavily and said, “I didn’t want to pursue Vanessa, we had broken up.”
“Renee, can we talk? I just need a few minutes.”
“Shit.” My brother suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped the car by the roadside.
“Christian, don’t you dare act shameless. Don’t think I don’t know you’ve been with that Vanessa for how many years, and you’ve even changed your flings one after another. And now you dare to have thoughts about my sister? This is my sister, damn it! I’ve considered you as a brother for so many years, don’t force me to fly over and beat you.”

After saying that, my brother hung up the phone and threw it into the storage box. He didn’t even bother to look at it, no
matter how much it rang.
He turned around and glared at me, “What’s going on between you two? Didn’t you say you weren’t familiar with him?”
I pursed my lips and couldn’t hide it anymore, so I had to confess everything that had happened over the past few years.
He listened and his eyes turned red with anger. After a while, he wiped away his tears and hugged me.
“It’s not your fault, it’s my brother’s poor choice of friends. I should have told you about Vanessa earlier, so you wouldn’t have gotten so deeply involved.”
I shook my head, and my heart softened.
“It was my foolishness and stubbornness. Over the past seven years, he neither wanted to make it public nor come back to see you. I should have realized that something was wrong.”
My brother rubbed my head and said, “It’s okay, it will be fine in the future. Seamus is reliable. I guarantee it with my life.”
Christian was a person who cared about his reputation. He thought that after my brother scolded him so harshly, we would never see each other again in this lifetime.

The next day, to our surprise, our family was sitting around the dining table having breakfast when the servant came to report that someone at the door specifically asked to see me.
