Chapter 361: You Believe What She Said!?
“Claire, my love for your mother was witnessed by heaven and earth. After she left, I’ve had no other
woman in my life. My life has been solitary, without a wife or children, all because my feelings for
your mother were too profound.” Joseph Felix said, swallowing hard, his pace quickening as he noticed
the increasing sarcasm in Claire Donovan’s eyes.
“Turn the page?” Claire laughed, shaking her head, tears of mirth falling. “Joseph Felix, please,
spare me the noble act. Mia Ashworth had already caused a scene at the Summers! Why didn’t you
distance yourself from her then? I believe you didn’t know about this. If you did, you wouldn’t have
the audacity to say these absurdities to my face!”
Joseph Felix blinked, stunned. He could tell Mia Ashworth had told Claire something, so he snorted
disdainfully. “What did Mia Ashworth tell you? Claire, you believe her words!?”
“Why shouldn’t I believe her?” Claire’s scorn was palpable. “Joseph Felix, you used her to strike at
the Felix, discarded her without remorse, and directly provoked her rage! Do you know, after my
mother successfully fled the wedding. Mia found her and told her she was pregnant with your child,
among other things? I asked you before, why didn’t my mother seek you out after fleeing the wedding?
It turns out, it was all thanks to you. Do you still think you are innocent?”
“What… what?” Joseph Felix’s eyes widened in disbelief, his lips trembling, unable to utter another
word.
Claire chuckled, bent down to put on her high heels, and stood up. Joseph Felix’s face was still
etched with shock as she glanced down and, without a word, gestured to Sean Vanderbilt and left.
Joseph Felix stood, transfixed, Claire’s words echoing in his mind. Only now did he realize why
Winona Summers, despite successfully fleeing the wedding, didn’t seek him out. He had never given her
real security, and in pursuing his own goals, he had pushed her further away, ultimately losing even
the most basic trust…
Stepping outside, Claire Donovan took a deep breath of the sea air. Being in the same room as Joseph Felix had been suffocating, making even her breathing feel unnatural.
Sean Vanderbilt stood by her side, gazing at her slightly flushed cheeks, and sighed softly. He
removed his suit jacket and gently draped it over her shoulders…

Standing on the deck, Claire Donovan gazed at the sea, the wind dancing with her hair. After a moment of silence, she spoke softly, “Do you think I’m being unreasonable?”
Sean Vanderbilt was momentarily taken aback, not expecting this to be her first comment after leaving. He shook his head and drew her into his embrace. His chest was broad, offering Claire a sense of security. Despite the swaying deck beneath their feet, she felt entirely at ease.
“Claire, everyone has their story and temperament. What you did today isn’t unreasonable. After all, your mother’s time in Silverton wasn’t happy, and your upbringing was particularly challenging. None of this can be mended by Joseph Felix’s mere words.”
Claire Donovan smiled, leaning her head on his shoulder, reveling in the warmth. Perhaps finding the moment too beautiful, she wrapped her arms around Sean Vanderbilt’s lean waist.
“Sean, suddenly, I don’t feel like investigating my mother’s story anymore.”
“Hmm?” Sean looked down at her, his voice gentle, “Why is that?”
Claire crinkled her nose, her voice dropping to a somber tone. “Up to now, I’ve seen too much deception, witnessed the darker side of human nature. Even love…” She paused, her voice breaking with emotion, “I’m afraid the final truth might be too much for me. I fear it might make me lose
faith in love.”
Sean exhaled deeply, his greatest fear mirrored in her words. Winona Summers‘ story seemed simple but had vast implications, involving several families, including his own Vanderbilt lineage. He knew that the eventual fallout could be extensive.
“These concerns can be set aside. If investigating brings you such distress, then let’s not pursue it further,” he said, tightening his embrace, his chin gently resting on her forehead

further he said, tightening his embrace, his chin gently resting on her forehead in a gesture of
tenderness and affection.
“Yes” Claire decided, looking up at Sean with a bright smile. “Let’s not investigate further. From
now on, we’ll just focus on living our lives together.”
Sean chuckled softly, his chin brushing against her forehead. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Claire! Claire!” Julia Sanders‘ voice suddenly rang out. Claire and Sean turned to see her approaching excitedly, with Frederick Vanderbilt following behind with a low laugh.
As Julia neared, she excitedly explained. “Claire, there’s a yacht! It’s arranged by the organizers. They initially planned to take us out to sea, but many found out and insisted on equal treatment. So they sent me to ask if we still want to go sailing”
*Sailing?” Claire’s eyes lit up, her spirits lifting. “Yes, of course! We haven’t been sailing yet!”
