Chapter 342
Chapter 342 Mr Morten’s Plan
Inside the Lindt family estate, the study was shrouded in a heavy silence.
Finished
Mr. Morten sat behind his desk, slowly rotating a pair of Baoding balls in his hand. The metallic clink filled the still air, the only sound in the room. His sharp, ruthless gaze never softened.
Leon sat lower down, his expression tense, while Triny stood at the side with red, swollen eyes.
For a long time, no one spoke. Finally, Mr. Morten exhaled deeply.
“Triny, I warned you before. That man is not someone you can control. A man like him—one of the titans of the business world-unless he decides it himself, nothing you do will make a difference p>
Triny’s throat tightened. “But… that woman looks so ordinary. Why her? Why not me?” The question had been eating at her, echoing in her mind again and again.
The Baoding balls slowed in his hand. “Are you certain this woman truly means something to Sebastian p>
Her voice was raw, almost breaking. “One hundred percent certain. His eyes don’t lie.” That scene outside Empire Group replayed in her mind like a film reel-the way he had held that woman, the look on his face. How could she not be certain?
Mr. Morten let out a cold laugh. “Just like his father. Another fool for love p>
Leon, unable to contain himself, asked urgently, “Father, what do we do now? Are we supposed to let Triny end up like my sister, walking the same path p>
“I won’t!” Triny cut in sharply. Her voice was fierce, her eyes burning with the same dark determination that gleamed in her grandfather’s. “If I’ve set my sights on him, then I’ll have him, even if it kills me. I will not end up like Aunt, forced to marry abroad p>
Mr. Morten’s eyes narrowed. His tone turned as sharp as a blade. “Are you truly capable of making that man fall for you? You do realize that once a Whitmore man gives his heart, he never loves another. Knowing that, do you still intend to go against fate p>
Triny met his gaze without flinching. “Yes, Grandfather. In all my life, I’ve never been so sure of anything. Please-help me p>
Leon’s face twisted with pain. “Your aunt was just as stubborn, and now you too… Is the Whitmore family the only fate for the women of our family? Are there no other choices for the Lindt daughters p>
“Father, I’m not the same as Aunt. She could give up easily. I won’t. Never p>

For a moment, Mr. Morten stared at his granddaughter and saw his daughter’s face from years ago-just as resolute, just as reckless. And he remembered how that had ended.
“Enough,” he muttered, shaking his head. “If your mind is set, my words are useless. Just don’t regret it later p>
Triny stepped forward, kneeling at his side. Her eyes pleaded. “Grandfather, you promised me. You said you would always support me. You said you’d help me win Sebastian. Didn’t you p>
His stern expression softened. He reached out and brushed a hand gently over her hair, sighing. “Don’t worry. I’ll always stand behind you p>
Leon, watching them, asked carefully, “Then what should we do now? I tried sounding Evan out last time, but he brushed me off. And now Sebastian already has another woman by his side. What is Triny supposed to do p>
Both Leon and Triny looked toward the old man, waiting.
Mr. Morten fell silent, thinking. Finally, his voice came low and deliberate. “For now, do nothing. Treat the Whitmore family as we always have. I’ll first uncover everything about this woman-who she is, where she comes from. Once we know her background, then we’ll decide p>
Leon nodded slowly. “That seems the only path for now p>
Their discussion ended. Leon and Triny left the study, but Mr. Morten remained seated, his face as dark and cold as stone.
At last, he picked up the phone, his voice clipped and icy. “Find out everything about the woman beside Sebastian. I want a full report-fast p>
