Chapter 6 Just as Sebastian and Ruth were about to be taken into the SWAT team's van , an old man hurried out from the crowd . " Where's Claudia ? Where's my granddaughter - in - law ? " It was Theodore . He spotted me after scanning the room and limped toward me hastily . " It's all my fault , Claudia . I didn't raise him right . " Seeing my dishevelled appearance , his voice grew heavy with remorse . " You've been through a lot . " He barely spared Sebastian a single glance , but the latter started to struggle , thinking help was here . " Move - my grandpa's here now ! You've got the wrong person ! " Seeing my expression grow colder by the second , Theodore immediately turned around and chided him . " Shut up ! Get over here and apologize to Claudia ! " He then cast a quick glance in Ruth's direction . He closed his eyes , as if making a major decision , and declared , " Officer , if you're going to take someone , take my disappointing granddaughter instead . She had manipulated my naive grandson . " Of course , Ruth heard every word . Her voice was filled with panic as she protested , " How could you say that , Grandpa ? It was Seb who- " " Silence ! " Theodore cut her off sharply . " Do you think calling me ' Grandpa ' makes you my actual granddaughter ? I picked you from the orphanage to be Sebastian's playmate . I spoiled you and cared for you , and yet you're trying to destroy him ! " The cameras caught everything . You were the one who started it all ! You made Sebastian humiliate Claudia , sealed her in a coffin , and even had the nerve to insult a military officer ! " It was obvious that he was planning to pin everything on Ruth alone . Now , to make matters worse , he intended to cut ties completely . " You messed things up . Now face the consequences you deserve . " Only now did she finally realize she was nothing more than a mere pawn . Completely helpless , she struggled to defend herself . " I didn't ! It wasn't me ... " Sebastian couldn't bear to watch the woman he loved take the fall . The moment she collapsed to the floor , he broke free from the officers and held her in his arms . " Grandpa , it was all me- " Before he could finish , Theodore stormed forward and slapped him hard across the face . " You're not any better , you idiot ! How could you let someone twist your brain so much ? You're not getting a single share of the Lamberts ' assets ! " Clenching his jaw , Sebastian glanced at Ruth before observing Theodore's expression . Unable to find even the faintest hint of sympathy , he lowered his head in defeat . Theodore turned to me , trying to butter me up . " From now on , Claudia will manage all your shares . Get over here and apologize to your bride ! " 1/2 Chapter 6 Did this mean the wedding was still happening ? Did they want to carry on with the engagement ? +25 Bonus I looked on coldly as Theodore shoved Sebastian over . I now understood just how shameless the Lamberts could be . Nevertheless , Sebastian still owed me an apology , so I let it happen . He knelt down , visibly humiliated . Every word of his seemed to take an enormous amount of effort . " Ms. Schneider ... everything that happened was my fault . I won't be swayed by other people again . I'll treat you right from now on . " Just as he finished speaking , Theodore gave him a huge kick . " Ms. Schneider ' ? Claudia's your bride ! " I grabbed Sebastian by the hair , yanking his face up to face me . I caught the immense hatred in his eyes . " Forget it . " I let go and asked someone nearby for alcohol wipes to clean my hands . " A groom like you , Mr. Lambert ? I'll pass . From this moment on , your family and I are done . " Support
