Chapter 356
As Quill walked out, Cynthia sneered, muttering to herself, “Tch! People like him get what they deserve, I’m miserable, and they to get off easy either!”
Though the news might have taken longer to reach Timothy, thanks to Cynthia’s sharp tongue, the entire family soon knew what had happened at The Yuncey Family’s event. They also learned that the elder branch had been responsible for the failed launch.
Even more shocking was the woman claiming to be Eleanor’s granddaughter. The family members were all curious to meet her
Caitlin’s car followed Douglas’s, finally arriving at The Yuncey Family estate. After parking, everyone got out of the car. Douglas smiled and extended a welcome, “We’ve arrived at The Yuncey Family! Would you mind if I call you ‘Caitlin cousin‘? By family relation, we are indeed cousins.”
Douglas was being outwardly polite, but in reality, he had ulterior motives. He wanted to find out about the whereabouts of “Yun’s Aromatic Codex“, but he wasn’t in a rush to force the issue.
Caitlin, though cautious, nodded politely as her gaze lifted toward the towering mansion ahead. The “Yuncey” sign gleamed in gold at the
entrance.
It was said that the mansion had been granted by the royal family, a testament to The Yuncey Family’s prestigious history. The estate, a
sprawling European–style garden, exuded an air of grandeur.
As Caitlin stood there, looking at the mansion, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of confusion. This was Eleanor’s former home, but why had such a deeply rooted family not been able to accept her grandmother? What had truly caused Eleanor to leave her home all those years ago?
“Shall we go inside?” Douglas asked, noticing Caitlin’s thoughtful silence.
Caitlin nodded, her thoughts still swirling with questions as she walked toward the gates of The Yuncey Family estate. The surroundings were beautiful, and she could feel the rich history in the air. As she wandered through the garden, she got her first glimpse of the mansion’s intricate details, everything radiating classical elegance.
Throughout the journey, she was met with curious glances from The Yuncey Family’s staff, all wondering about the woman Douglas had brought with him.
Eventually, they reached the grand main building, and Douglas gestured for her to enter, “This is the main hall of The Yuncey Family. Please,
come in.”
“Douglas is back! And he’s brought a guest!” a servant reported eagerly.
As Caitlin stepped into the main hall, the bustling chatter of the room gradually quieted. Everyone turned to look at her, and she could sens the curiosity in the air.
Caitlin scanned the room and saw several prominent members of The Yuncey Family, including a middle–aged man in his forties or fifties w looked at her with keen interest. “Who is she?” he asked.
The man was Edgar, a member of The Yuncey Family. His eyes were locked
on
Caitlin, sizing her up.
Douglas introduced her with a polite smile. “This is Caitlin, Eleanor’s granddaughter. This is my sixth uncle, Edgar, and his wife Millie.”
The room fell into stunned silence as the family members processed this new information.
“She’s Caitlin?”
“She’s the one who disrupted The Yuncey Family’s launch today?”
“Douglas, did you check her background before bringing her here? What if she’s lying?”

“Even if she is Eleanor’s granddaughter, is it acceptable for her to come here and cause trouble for The Yuncey Family like this?”
The family’s disapproving looks and words made Caitlin feel the intensity of their rejection. But just as the tension in the room rose, art elderly voice called out, “Who’s here?”
