He was easy to get along with.
He would take on the role of a brother, taking care of Seraphina and ooking out for Cecilia as well.
In her memory, Seraphina had always been resistant to Dashiell, but he always accommodated her.
No matter how much Seraphina got angry with him, he always yielded
Cecilia didn’t know if his departure was because of Sebastian’s sudden appearance.
Perhaps.
How could he have left without any hesitation after being by Seraphina’s side for so many years?
And between Seraphina, Dashiell, and Sebastian, Cecilia began to distance herself from Dashiell because Seraphina chose Sebastian.
In fact, aside from Seraphina’s relationship, Dashiell was also her childhood friend.
She was initially resistant to Dashiell because she didn’t know the truth, but now that she was aware of everything, she felt a bit guilty towards him.
Dashiell also smiled. “Long time no

In her previous life, she had indeed kept her distance from Dashiell because of Seraphina,
Therefore, in Dashiell’s mind, she should also dislike him,
“Welcome back.” Cecilia suddenly reached out her hand.
A hint of surprise flashed across Dashiell’s gentle smile.
He shook Cecilia’s hand. “Thank you.”
“Let’s have dinner together next time.”
Sure.”
“After coming back, will you work at the House of Everhart Bank? Cecilia asked casually.
“No,” Dashiell replied firmly.
Cecilia smiled. “You overheard my conversation with Seraphina just now.”

She heard Seraphina say that Dashiell had come back to take their fahillys property from her.
All along. Seraphina had said that Dashiell and his mother, Magnolia Rainier, had had intentions.
It was not surprising that Seraphina thought so
When Magnolia entered the Everhart family, Seraphina’s mother was still alive.
Of course, it wasn’t Seraphina who caused her mother’s death. It was just that when Seraphina s mother was seriously ill, Seraphina’s father, Atticus, was completely focused on Magnolia, shing little concern for Seraphina’s mother.
Even though they were already divorced at that time, in Seraphina’s heart, she still felt that Atticus was too distant. Most importantly, when Seraphina’s mother was passing away, Seraphina called Atticus, but he declined.
This was probably a shadow that Seraphins couldn’t get rid of in her life.
“I wont take away the Everhart family’s assets,” Dashiell said frankly,
“I know.” she understood clearly.
Dashiell looked at her with a somewhat puzzled expression.
He probably didn’t expect her to trust him so unconditionally.
After all, she had always considered things from Seraphina’s perspective.
“I was thinking, if possible, could we encourage Seraphina to work at the company? I’m really worried about her,” Cecilia said, “Seraphina trusts Sebastian so much.”
“Sebastian treats Seraphina well,” Dashiell said.
Cecilia just looked at him without much emotion.
“I heard you’re getting married next month,” Dashiell asked, changing the subject directly.

After, she should not meddle in the entanglement between them.
“Yes.” Cecilia nodded.
She was getting married, but not to Dominic.
“Congratulations, Dashiell said.
“Thank you.” Cecilia smiled. “It’s getting late; I should head back.”
“Alright.”
Cecilia got into the car.
She left the Everhart family mansion, looking back at Dashiell behind her.
She knew she would never forget the sorrowful expression on Dashiell’s face when he witnessed Seraphina’s death in their past life.

“How is Seraphina doing? Theodore asked with concern.
They had a longstanding relationship with the Everhart family.
Seraphina often visited them, and since she didn’t like her own father and stepmother, she had always stuck to Cecilia’s parents, who treated her like their own daughter.
“She’s drunk, but I’ve taken her back.” Cecilia said casually.
As long as she’s back. Tell her to drink less in the future; it’s not good for her health.”
“I told her.”
“It’s late, go to bed early.”
“Dad, I have something to discuss with you,” Cecilia said seriously.
“Go ahead.”
“You and Mom have had a good relationship for so many y

years, but have you really given anything to Mom?” Cecilla asked.
For a while, he seemed unsure how to respond.
“I know Mom never actively seeks out anything, but over the years, she has always been looked down upon! She rarely socializes with the affluent ladies in the group now. Do you truly believe it’s because she doesn’t want to? Do you think she doesnt desire to make friends? No. It’s simply because of her humble background, and these wealthy ladies don’t even consider her part of their circle. And all these years, you have never given her a proper status, never let others know the position she holds in our family!” Cecilia stated earnestly, “Those wealthy ladies have always viewed her just like our family’s servants, not deserving of being addressed as Mrs. Lockhart!
Under the influence of her parents in the past, she used to think that as long as the family lived well, she didn’t care about reputation or what others said.
However, this time, she had changed.
She couldn’t bear any grievances, and she wouldn’t let anyone around her suffer any grievances either.
The world is a jungle where the weak are preyed upon by the strong. The more you compromised, the more you would be bullied.

Upon hearing Cecilla speak livsuch a manner, Theodore was somewhat angered, “Who would dare to make such statements!”
“It’s not a matter of daring or not. It’s what those wealthy ladies actually think in private,”
“I can’t let your mons be mistreated!” Theodore sald firmly.
“So you must do something.
What should I do?” Theodore seemed a bit anxious.
“Mom is turning 50 soon. Let’s throw her a lavish birthday celebration; show all those supposedly wealthy ladies in Serenovia City that the wife of the chairman of the Lockhart family group is truly in a league of her own! Cecilia proposed.
Theodore hesitated a bit.
“Dad, our family has been low–key for many years. We’ve always kept things simple with banquets and receptions. If it’s a matter of not having the means, that’s one thing, but we really aren’t lacking. As one of the four major families of The Yakurosean Empire, tanked second in wealth, why can’t we go all out for this occasion? we show everyone the splendor of our family!”
Why should all the glory be taken away by the Kingsley family?
