Chapter 100 I’m Going To Depend on You Forever
Julia’s life was similar to Claire’s. She followed her parents abroad as a child, and the two of them
divorced less than two years after the move. Thus, they just shoved her into a boarding school and
ignored her in everything but financial matters.
The two of them were cursed with irresponsible parents.
Perhaps it was because they grew up together. Perhaps they just resonated with each other. After
Claire met Julia, she decided that she would bring
Julia along wherever she went.
Since their parents refused to give them a home, they would build their own
home.
“I’ll always be with you until the day you marry your man, Julia.”
“I’ll never get married!” Julia leaned over to rest her head against Claire’s
shoulder and said in a tone similar to Belle’s, “I’m going to depend on you
forever.”
“Mommy!”
Just then, Belle came running in, full of excitement. She did not hug Claire like she normally would and
just twirled before Claire. “What do you think? Am I pretty?”
Belle was a cute kid already with wide eyes that shone with the light. The dimples on her cheeks made
her look even more adorable. Now that her hair had been combed and straightened to fall gently down
her back while her face was framed by a fringe, she looked like the cutest kid ever. This was especially
true when the hairclips in the shape of rabbit ears were taken into

consideration.
Dressed in a pink princess dress that reached her knees, she was a kid who would have everyone
falling in love with her.
Claire smiled and stroked the bunny hair clips. “You are. Belle is the most
beautiful girl in the whole wide world.”
As soon as she said that, she spotted Jon standing in the doorway. He was dressed in a formal suit
that fitted him perfectly.
Julia was the first to speak. “Whoa! You look so handsome, Jon!”
Jon looked as expressionless as ever as he strutted over with a hand in his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpocket. “Sir said we can leave once you’re back.”
Julia was not going to let Jon go this easily. She swiftly dipped down to hug
him and kiss him on the cheek.
Jon scowled and pushed her away before taking a step back. Then, without saying another word, he
walked away from them.
Julia was dumbfounded. “Claire…”
Claire blinked. “Hmm?”
Julia bit her lip. “Why did Jon look so much like Sir just now?”
Claire thought so too.
“Perhaps he just … picked it up? They have been living together for quite a while.”
Julia did not think much about it and hurriedly gathered up the luggage bags.

The moment the decision to return to Ascalon was made, Victor was the happiest man around.
He grew up in Ascalon. For the past 4 years, he had been working by Sean’s side. He had never
visited home.
Now, he could return home in Sean’s private jet. Oh, he could fly from joy.
Jason glanced at him and snickered. “Aren’t you happy we’re heading home? Why do you look like
you’re going to cry?”
Victor sniffled as tears started rolling down her cheeks. “I’m finally going home. I miss my mother.”
Sean just silently stared.
“Sir,” Claire curiously asked when she heard Victor’s sobs, “What did you do to Victor? Why is he
crying?”
Sean turned and shot Victor a look that had him instantly shut up.
“Claire,” Sean casually asked, “How was your trip to the office today?”
Claire was still confused by what happened.
“Do you think Alice has gone mad? She cried at the entrance for hours so that + could meet her. The
moment I appear, she starts wailing for me to have
mercy on them. I haven’t even done anything.”
Sean nodded. “What then?”

“What happened next is even stranger. She clung so hard to my leg that I
couldn’t kick her away. When I went to push her off, Clarissa suddenly appeared behind me. I felt a
sting on my scalp, so Clarissa must have pulled
out a few strands of my hair. When I looked at her, she was already running
away.”
Claire frowned. “Alice was acting strange as well. After Clarissa ran off, she stopped crying and
shouting and just threatened me, saying she would have her revenge. Did they put on an entire show
just to pull out my hair?”
Her hair?
Sean’s eyes darkened as a guess started to form in the back of his mind.
“It’s nothing.” he calmly replied with a huff. “We will have our answers once
we’re in Ascalon.”
Claire could not solve the mystery no matter how hard she tried, so she just
gave up on it.
This trip was a very important trip, after all.
Two hours later, the plane landed safely at Ascalon International Airport.
The airport was crowded, so Sean bent down to pick up Belle while Claire held Jon’s hand. Julia
followed close behind them.
As they walked out of the airport gates, Claire did not have time to even get her bearings when Belle
exclaimed, “Look, Mommy! Every car parked there is exactly the same!”
It was only then that Claire noticed the 20 identical Rolls–Royce parked by

Their noble black sheen and elegant curves made them stand out from everything else.
One would be eye–catching, but twenty?
It was a rather shocking sight to behold.
Just then, a man who looked older than Jason and dressed in a black suit
walked over to them. He stopped before Sean and respectfully nodded. “Mr.
Vanderbilt.”
Claire’s heart skipped. How could she forget about Sean’s place in the family hierarchy? It seemed like
she would be stuck in a few awkward situations with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmadults respecting her like she was their superior.
Sean nodded and introduced Claire to the man. “This is Gerald Vanderson, my
family’s butler. He’s as close as family. You can ask him for help if I’m not
around.”
Claire just stared at Gerald. She did not know what she was meant to call
him.
Gerald smiled. With his hands held in front of him, he kindly said to her,
“You may call me Gerald or Vanderson.”
Hm…
After a moment, Claire smiled back. “Hello, Mr. Vanderson.”
From her spot in Sean’s arms, Belle stared at the man with graying hair and sweetly greeted, “Hello,
Grandpa!”
“Oh, that won’t do, Young Miss.”

Grandpa!”
“Oh, that won’t do, Young Miss.”
There was an awkward look on Gerald’s face as he hurriedly said, “You can’t call me ‘Grandpa‘. That’s
wrong.”
“Haha!” Jason could not help but laugh. He had been equally frightened when he first heard Belle
speak so politely to him.
Confused by the laughter, Belle pouted. “What do I call you then? Do I have to call you by your name
like Jason?”
“Well, yes!”
Gerald wiped away the beads of cold sweat from his forehead and gestured for the group to head to
the cars. “Mr. Vanderbilt, Miss Donovan, please get in. Master and Madam Vanderbilt are eagerly
waiting for you back home.”
