Chapter13 Like Mother Like Daughter
Summary: Sebastian discovers that there is someone else standing in between his and Kathryn's happiness. Only this person has been much more clever.
"I 'm coming." Tiffany cried outloud when she heard the doorbells chime from her front door.
"What do you want?" Tiffany asked in disgust when she opened her door to see Sebastian standing on her front steps.
"I have come to show you something." Sebastian answered politely.
Tiffany sighed. Didn't she finally wash her hands of the Valmonts once she divorced Edward? "I seriously doubt you have anything I would like to see." Tiffany said snottily and tried to close the front door on him. Sebastian put his foot to block the door from closing.
"We need to talk." Sebastian insisted firmly.
"Fine. Make it quick." Tiffany sighed and let go of the door.
Sebastian stood there for a second before realizing Tiffany wasn't gonna ask him in. Supressing his temper, Sebastian removed the two statements from his jacked pocket. "I have two sworn statements from Annette and Court admitting they set up Kathryn to get committed."
Tiffany took the statements from Sebastian and stood there for a few seconds with a puzzled expression on her face. She made no move to read them. "Don't you get it?" Tiffany asked cruelly.
Now noone has ever accused Sebastian of being slow, but even he was momentarily confused. Now he didn't expect Tiffany to jump for joy with the proof, that her daughter wasn't as bad as she thought,but he sure didn't expect her to just stand there.
"I was thrilled to be finally rid of Kathryn." Tiffany informed a suprised Sebastian. "Any excuse I had to finally commit the brat was welcome."
Sebastian considered himself an unshockable person, but this treachery was even beyond him. Kathryn's own mother would not move a finger to help spring her. "You heartless-" Sebastian began to curse out Tiffany.
"Please." Tiffany said cutting off Sebastian. "Don't even try and help defend someone like Kathryn. Don't you think I have been wise to Kathryn's little act for some time now?" Tiffany demanded. "I have been waiting for sometime now to finally cut Kathryn off for good." Tiffany stopped and noticed Sebastian's shocked reaction. "And you Sebastian and your precious journal will only help me get Kathryn declared unfit to oversee her late father's estate." Tiffany said with a cruel smile. "Thanks Sebastian." Tiffany snickered and slammed the door in Sebastian's face.
**********************
"I don't understand why you and your fancy lawyers can't do anything!" Sebastian yelled at his father. Sebastian was still reeling from Tiffany's bombshell. Who would have predicted that Tiffany could be so clever? Sure it would be simple to run to the clinic and get Kathryn released, but there was only one problem. Kathryn would never believe her mother would betray her like that, and Sebastian wasn't even sure if Kathryn would listen to him. After all he was indirectly to blame for her being even sent to the clinic in the first place.
Edward Valmont sighed and tried to reason with his son. "Like my lawyer said, Kathryn is over eighteen and only in the clinic on her own free will, and unfortunely will only leave the clinic if she thinks that she her mother has approved." Edward himself was quite impressed with his former wife's scheming. Who thought she had it in her? "Do you want to be the one that informs Kathryn of her mother's treachery?" Edward asked Sebastian.
Sebastian remained quiet and mulled this over silently. Would Kathryn even believe him? If there was one thing Sebastian knew it was that Kathryn ,despite her claims of not caring, loved her mother deeply. Why else would she always crave her mother's approval? But Sebastian saw no other way. He would have to break the news to Kathryn, and only hope she believed him.
"I guess I have no other choice." Sebastian said.
