Chapter 125
“Madam, I’ve brought Mr. Wilder, Jayla announced as she led Sebastian into the grand ball.
Lucy rose immediately, her eyes sweeping over him. “You must be Sebastian. You really resemble your father.”
“Aunt Lucy,” Sebastian greeted her as he approached.
Despite this being their first meeting, there was a palpable sense of familiarity
“Come sit down, make yourself comfortable,” Lucy said warmly, guiding Sebastian by the hand to sit on the couch next to her.
She then turned to Jenny, who was absorbed in her phone.
She instructed, “Jenny, stop playing with your phone and come meet Sebastian.”
Jenny pursed her lips and walked over reluctantly.
“What are you waiting for? Say hello,” Locy urged, her tone tinged with a hint of displeasure.
“Hi, Sebastian.”
Jenny’s greeting was lackluster, clearly forced under Lucy’s stem gaze
“Don’t mind her, she’s spoiled by me,” Lucy apologized with a chuckle
“It’s fine,” Sebastian responded, offering a brief glance at Jenny,
She was undoubtedly beautiful, but his mind was occupied with more pressing matters.
“Aunt Lucy,
Ms. Bennett mentioned my mother might still be alive. What’s going on?”
“Take a look at this.” Lucy retrieved her phone and showed him a photo.
was a settle of Jenny, but what caught his attention was not Jenny herself.
Against a backdrop of pines stood a woman with disheveled hair, her figureblurred by distance
Sebastian studied the photo intently, noticing the resemblance to his mother
“Aunt Lucy, based on this blurry image, why do you believe it could be my mother? beasked His curiosity was piqued.
“It’s indeed difficult to confirm from her appearance alone, but notice the bracelet on her wrist,” Luxy pointed out.
“My mother had a bracelet just like that!” Sebastian exclaimed, a memory flashing through his mind.
He had been very young when his mother disappeared, and his recollections of her were faint. It was Lucy’s mention of the bracelet that jogged his memory.
“Exactly. That bracelet was a classic model from that era, expensive and limited in edition. Moreover, it was spotted on the Zatch family island, which is why I suspect the woman could be your mother,” Lucy affirmed.
“What connection does my mother have with the Zatch family?” Sebastian inquired, now thoroughly intrigued.
“Your mother was the eldest daughter of the Zarch family, the older sister of the current head of the Zatch family,” Lucy revealed.
She continued to detail his parents history, explaining that they were college classmates who fell in love.
After graduation, they planned to marry but faced strong opposition from the Zarch family due to the disparity in their social standings.
The Zatch family was even more prominent than the Cadwell family and ranked fourth among the top ten families.
As the eldest daughter of the Zatch family, Yuliana was practically a princess.
However, Sebastian’s father was merely a talented individual from a lesser–known family, leading to the Zatch family’s disapproval
Disheartened, his mother left her family and eloped with his father.
Lucy suggested that the supposed accident where his mother fell from a cliff might have been a cover–up.
It’s possible she was forcibly taken away by the Zatch family
