Chapter 360
Sebastian was still mulling it over when Dominic pressed him again. "Sebastian, other than your father and mine, do you know anyone else who has Frederick's contact information?"
"No one else," Sebastian replied.
Then a thought struck him. "But didn't you say Ms. Kensington had met Frederick before? She might have his number."
"If speaking with Mr. Aldridge could solve everything, wouldn't she have contacted him herself by now?"
Dominic nodded. "I considered that too. But since she's directly involved, it wouldn't be proper for her to reach out to Mr. Aldridge just to inquire about Nathaniel, would he?"
His thoughtfulness surprised even himself. Perhaps he cared more about Victoria than he realized.
"Never mind," Dominic sighed. "I'll ask around elsewhere."
"Alright."
The fact that Isabella was also one of Frederick's students wasn't public knowledge - which meant it was confidential. Sebastian couldn't share that with Dominic even if he wanted to.
After a pause, Sebastian added, "I've interacted with Isabella several times. She doesn't strike me as the person you're describing."
"Dominic, are you absolutely certain this whole situation arose because Isabella feared Nathaniel might develop feelings for Ms. Kensington? Could there be some misunderstanding?"
"Why don't you speak with Ms. Kensington or others to clarify what actually happened between them?"
Dominic's expression darkened. "Sebastian, whose side are you on?"
"I'm just stating facts."
But Dominic believed Sebastian had been deceived by Isabella. "There's no misunderstanding. I witnessed it firsthand. How could I be mistaken? You should be wary of appearances."
He changed the subject abruptly. "Let's drop this. When you're free, let's meet up."
With work still pending, Sebastian didn't press further. He ended the call.
Meanwhile, Victoria waited outside YodaVision, but Isabella and Nathaniel completely ignored her presence - leaving her standing there like a fool.
Yet Victoria remained determined.
However, an important midday appointment forced her to leave when Nathaniel still hadn't emerged.
For the next two days, work commitments prevented her from returning to YodaVision.
Come Thursday, just as she found time to visit again, a court summons arrived.
Genevieve was livid. "A court summons already? After just a few days? They're really pushing to terminate the contract!"
"And the court accepted such a trivial case? What kind of joke is this legal system?"
With the case officially filed, unless Nathaniel withdrew the lawsuit, they'd have no choice but to proceed to trial.
Frustrated as she was, even Genevieve recognized the situation had reached a point of no return.
Suddenly, Eleanor suggested, "What if we approach the Graves family about this?"
They'd always believed that since Isabella had been married with a child, the Graves family would never accept her relationship with Nathaniel.
Nathaniel's recent blind date with a suitable socialite seemed to confirm this theory.
If the family learned she was letting personal grudges interfere with Nathaniel's business partnerships, they'd likely disapprove.
Under such family pressure, Nathaniel might withdraw the lawsuit.
Victoria immediately grasped her mother's implication.
It was a viable strategy.
Besides Nathaniel, she didn't know any Graves family members. But Alexander did.
She dialed Alexander immediately.
After hearing her plan, Alexander said, "I'll try contacting someone from the Graves family soon."
Genevieve approved the strategy.
Just imagining the Graves family's potential anger and Nathaniel cutting ties with Isabella thrilled her.
But then a realization struck. "Why didn't Alexander think of approaching the Graves family earlier?"
Victoria lowered her gaze. "He and Isabella are still legally married. The Graves family likely knows about their situation."
"It wouldn't be appropriate for him to bring this up directly. Someone else should handle it."
Genevieve smirked. "Fair point."
