Chapter 720 An Agreement Between Brothers As a child, Sebastian blamed himself for failing to understand Shane's words.
While other children scored perfectly on their assignments, he couldn't grasp what the teacher was saying.
Sebastian frequently heard his father saying, "How could I have a son like you? You're a disgrace to the Quinnell family's name."
Sebastian knew it was an insult because of Shane's angry tone. He believed it was his fault and wondered if all children with developmental delays felt the same.
If only he could be normal, maybe his father wouldn't be so disappointed in him.
This need for approval fostered a people-pleasing personality in Sebastian. It was hard to imagine the legal world's renowned "smiling fox" had once struggled with the need to please others.
Everything changed when Sebastian was 11. His transformation began the day his baby sister, Wynter, reached out her tiny hands.
He was the first person she wanted to hold. Despite Tobias' constant attempts to get her attention, Wynter ignored him.
For the first time, Sebastian felt a sense of belonging and family. Wynter's small, soft hand in his gave him a new purpose.
Tobias was always straightforward and handsome despite his often reckless behavior.
But Sebastian only wanted to grow up quickly so that he could protect his younger siblings. Initially, his endeavor faced resistance, and his self-serving father refused to let him off.
Fabian was deeply concerned about Sebastian's recovery, so he took him under his wing, providing him with meticulous care. Sebastian had never envisioned the Quinnell family's downfall, but.....
"Do you reckon it was merely a dream, Albert?" Sebastian asked.
Albert retrieved a lighter to ignite his cigarette. After a short pause, he said, "Wynter recounted the story in such detail. It couldn't be just a dream."
"So, we stood idly by, witnessing her expulsion from the Quinnell family," Sebastian clenched his fists before continuing, "all because of a sponsee with an unknown background? If that's the case, I'll despise myself."
Albert lowered his gaze. "I know. After hearing the story, I hate myself the most." He extinguished his cigarette nearby. "I abandoned all of you for a fleeting romance and caused the Quinnell family's downfall.
Sebastian averted his gaze, tacitly acknowledging Albert's words. "Tomorrow, I'll transfer all my shares to Wynter. You can decide what to do with yours."
Albert didn't hold any grudge against Sebastian's bitterness. "I understand your point. The extra shares have could complicate things for Wynter when she takes over the company.

"It's just a youthful infatuation. We can't predict what will happen next. You should include my shares in your contract, and I'll sign it along with yours."
Albert and Sebastian shared a silent understanding as they exchanged glances.
From the tales about Wynter's actions in the group chat, they knew she was always alarmed. However, they hadn't realized the reasons for her concerns until now.
Despite dreaming about everything that had happened in the Quinnell family, Wynter still chose to return. They owed everything to her.
"I'm not doing a great job as an older brother," one of them admitted.
"None of us are," the other replied.
