Debbie stared desperately at Sebastian, begging for help with her eyes.
But Sebastian's glare was murderous.
He had heard the reports before she was dragged in, but seeing her physically in Northwyn made the nightmare agonizingly real.
They hadn't seen each other in years.
When he first returned to the Blake family, Debbie had caused endless trouble, trying every trick in the book to extort money.
But Old Mr. Blake was ruthless. He crushed her schemes effortlessly, forcing her to back down and behave.
Having grown up with her, Sebastian knew exactly how toxic she was. He despised her and wanted nothing to do with her.
He accepted his financial duty as her son, ensuring she had a comfortable allowance, a caretaker, and a quiet life in her hometown. But he swore he would never give her an extra dime.
She had fired multiple caretakers over the years, but since she stayed out of trouble, Sebastian eventually stopped checking in on her.
He never expected her to orchestrate something this catastrophic.
And he knew exactly who to blame—Bella!
If Bella hadn't brought her to Northwyn, Debbie would never have had the guts or the funds to survive in the city.
Sebastian knew Bella had been footing the bill the entire time.
But what terrified him was that Debbie had been here for months without him knowing.
Old Mr. Blake looked at him. "You truly have a wonderful mother. Do you have any idea what she's been doing since she arrived in Northwyn?"
