Chapter 333: Looks Like Someone’s Already Applied Medicine for You?
Suddenly, Claire Donovan turned to Sean Vanderbilt with a dismissive look. “And you think Suzanne doesn’t have fame in Southeast Asia? Do you really think she won all those best actress awards for nothing?”
Sean Vanderbilt blinked, saying nothing. His understanding of the entertainment industry was limited as the Fengxing Group treated it more as a side venture. But seeing Claire’s confidence, he nodded earnestly, “Right, you know best!”
As they were talking, the room door opened, and Julia Sanders limped in. Seeing Sean Vanderbilt’s gaze, her face flushed slightly, then she forced a dry laugh and sat down on the bed.
Claire had just finished her work and was packing up. “Julia, let me apply some medicine for you? Your injury should heal before the exhibition.”
“Ah?” Julia Sanders hesitated, instinctively shaking her head, “No need.”
“No need?” Claire’s eyes narrowed slightly, catching onto something. She looked at Julia with a knowing smile, “Oh? Looks like someone’s already applied medicine for you?”
–
Sean Vanderbilt chuckled softly. The answer was obvious Frederick must have already helped her.
Seeing their teasing glances, Julia’s face turned even redder. “I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.” Just
as she rolled into bed, she seemed to remember something, then said to Sean, “Mr. Sean, don’t worry.
I’m a heavy sleeper. You guys do whatever, hehe… I won’t hear a thing.”
Claire really wanted to scold her for that remark. When she wasn’t around, Sean hadn’t done anything
Now with her as the third wheel, what could Sean possibly do?
Claire rolled her eyes at her, and Julia chuckled, finally regaining some of her pride. She didn’t
want them to have the last laugh. After another laugh, she climbed into bed and lay down
comfortably.
It was still early, and she couldn’t sleep, but she didn’t want to disturb Claire and Sean either. She closed her eyes, and images of Frederick carrying her flooded her mind, her face turning even
redder.

Claire shrugged helplessly at Sean. “It’s not good for you to stay here now that she’s sleeping.”
Sean naturally understood, but cursed the popularity of the island for not having an extra room. Otherwise, he could have stayed with Claire. “Alright,” he sighed, a trace of regret in his voice. “I’ll go back then. You guys rest well. I’ll come to find you in the morning.”
“Okay.”
Claire waved goodbye to Sean and, after seeing him off, squinted her eyes, suddenly got up, walked
over to Julia, and with authority, pulled off the covers hiding her.
“Spill it, did you seize the opportunity?”
“Ah?” Julia’s eyes snapped open, her blush deepening, looking like a cooked shrimp. She bit her lip, glanced shyly at Claire, and suddenly burst into laughter, pulling the covers over her head again. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I won’t tell you, I won’t tell you!”
Sean Vanderbilt returned to his room, his gaze immediately searching for Frederick Vanderbilt. Not
finding him, he heard the sound of running water.
Sean Vanderbilt, with a playful twist of his lips, grabbed a bottle of red wine and two glasses, settling himself on the sofa as he patiently waited. Men are usually quick in the shower, especially since Frederick Vanderbilt had already been in there a while when Sean returned. Just as Sean uncorked the wine and poured it into the glasses, the bathroom door opened.
Frederick Vanderbilt, clad in a white robe and holding a dry towel, lazily wiped his hair as he walked out. Spotting Sean waiting for him on the sofa, he subtly bit his lip and, without a word, sat
beside him.
Sean smiled, pouring wine into the second glass. Frederick returned the gesture with an unspoken smile, setting aside his towel and picking up a glass. “This wine isn’t bad,” he commented after a
sip.
Sean raised his eyebrows, looking at Frederick. “Getting a word of praise from you is quite the feat.
Frederick.”
Frederick didn’t believe Sean was here just to chat about wine. After another sip, he quirked his

stre, selling aside his tower and picking up a glass. This wine isn t pau, ne commented alter a
sip.
Sean raised his eyebrows, looking at Frederick. “Getting a word of praise from you is quite the feat,
Frederick.”
Frederick didn’t believe Sean was here just to chat about wine. After another sip, he quirked his
lips slightly. “Just being honest.” The atmosphere between the brothers was subtly charged; Sean had something to say but held back, while Frederick, knowing what was on his mind, didn’t ask, waiting
for Sean to speak first.
Their resilience and patience were indeed commendable.
Sean, not wanting to beat around the bush any longer, glanced at Frederick and asked sardonically,
“And Julia Sanders? Is she good, or just okay?”
Frederick’s gaze lowered to his glass, silent, deep in thought. Sean was getting impatient he wouldn‘ t have waited for anyone else’s response like this. It reminded him of the night before they left when Mrs. Vanderbilt, knowing Frederick would join them, stealthily woke him up to talk.
Thankfully, Claire hadn’t slept over that night, or it would have been awkward. Mrs. Vanderbilt, holding his hand earnestly, implored, “Sean, Frederick has been single his whole life. Now that you and Claire
are together, help your brother out. He’s not good at charming women. Create some
opportunities for him to be alone with Julia.”
She even sniffled, “I just want to see him settle down with someone before I close my eyes for good.
It would give me peace.”
Sean couldn’t refuse such a heartfelt request. After agreeing, Mrs. Vanderbilt eyed him sharply. “If Frederick doesn’t make progress with Julia by the time you return, your engagement with Claire will
be delayed by a year!”
Sean nearly exploded, but Mrs. Vanderbilt’s tears left him frustrated.
This led to his schemes on the island. Although a bit crafty, Julia’s expression on her return
suggested some progress.
Sean decided to stoke the fire a bit more.
