Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 730

But what he had seen and heard today completely shattered his previous perception of her.

“When I first heard about it, I didn't believe it either. But now, I do.”

“Since she's so capable, why don't we partner with her? The tech and internet sectors are booming right now.”

His parents didn't answer, and Grandma Eleanor couldn't be bothered to say another word.

“Where is Sera?”

Sebastian asked.

Gwen replied, “She went straight to bed when she got back. She's exhausted.”

“Exhausted? More like furious, right? Those two stole the entire spotlight at the banquet today.”

Miles always spoke his mind.

“Owen is leagues ahead of Lawrence.

I don't understand. With an outstanding niece and nephew-in-law like Mira and Owen, why force Seraphina to marry Lawrence?

Dad, how does your brain even work?”

The three of them remained silent.

They knew that saying anything would inevitably spark another screaming match.

“We're doomed. Knowing my sister's fragile, stubborn nature, and Lawrence's capacity for ruthlessness, she's bound to suffer.

Since they aren't married yet, we might as well call off the engagement.”

“What nonsense are you spouting? What's wrong with Lawrence? Even without Owen, isn't he still running the family business?

Everyone has flaws. Don't harp on them.”

Gwen couldn't hold back anymore.

However, as long as she didn't insult Mira directly, the old lady ignored her.

“I'm heading to Mira's place tomorrow. I'm just giving you a heads-up.

I'm tired. Mrs. Higgins, help me to my room.”

Supported by Mrs. Higgins, the old lady walked away step by step. Sebastian suddenly felt as though something vital was slipping away from him.

“Mom, why do you have to stay at Mira's? Why can't you just stay here with us?”

The next morning, when Mira arrived at the university, several reporters were waiting at the campus gates.

She realized then that staying low-profile had its merits. From now on, her every move was going to be under a microscope.

“Listen, everyone. I understand you have a job to do, and I'm more than happy to do interviews.

However, you need to make an appointment.

Class is about to start, and I really don't have time to answer any questions right now.”

Mira gave them her secretary's number. “Contact Cyrus Montgomery to schedule a time.”

“Miss Mercer, is Mr. Owen Lance really your fiancé?”

“Yes. Everything we said at the banquet yesterday was the truth.

Everything I've ever told the media before was also true. Please refrain from repeating the same questions in the future.

Now, off to class I go.”

Silas Vane and Jax Weaver stepped up to block the crowd, allowing Mira to walk through the gates.
