Before Sharon could finish speaking, her phone started vibrating violently.
She took a look and saw it was a call from Julian; fearing that something might be wrong, she didn’t dare to reject the call. She said to Nina Sinclair, "Nina, just wait a moment, I need to take this call."
After speaking, Sharon walked to the side to answer the phone.
"Hello, brother, why are you calling me?"
There was silence on the other end for a moment, followed by Julian’s somewhat husky voice asking, "Is she okay?"
Julian realized that Sharon was out late at night, assuming she had gone to see Nina Sinclair.
He shouldn’t have interfered, but he couldn’t help himself; he wanted to know how Nina Sinclair was doing now.
Sharon quietly glanced back and said, "Uh... She’s fine, nothing unusual."
After hearing Sharon’s words, Julian said nothing. The phone went silent, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.
"Hello..." Sharon thought they had been disconnected.
"Hang up," Julian uttered two words and directly ended the call.
Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Sharon felt somewhat dazed, ultimately letting out a helpless sigh.
It seems her brother is deeply invested, but unfortunately, the feelings aren’t mutual.
Sharon felt a wave of frustration; the two had had a fight before, but it was resolved smoothly. Now it seemed different; Nina Sinclair and Julian were serious about divorcing!
She despised her aunt Penelope Lancaster!
She used to love causing trouble, and now she’s meddling again here, making Sharon’s face turn dark with anger.
But the most important thing now is to comfort Nina Sinclair.
Sharon quickly put away the phone and turned back, intending to continue talking with Nina, only to find that Nina had fallen asleep on the sofa!
Julian had just ended his call with Sharon. When Sharon said Nina Sinclair was fine, he could only wonder whether she would be sad and upset because of their divorce.
Maybe Nina Sinclair was celebrating right now, glad to end that damned contract with him. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
She would rather borrow money from Ethan Sherman to pay compensation just to leave him.
Julian stood shrouded in darkness, looking somewhat lonely; just then, the phone he had thrown on the table lit up, glaring in the dark.
He reached out and looked at it.
A call from Old Master Lancaster.
Intending to ignore it, Julian eventually slid to answer, "Grandfather."
"Julian! I heard from your aunt that you had the audacity to marry that woman! You even refused your aunt’s help? I sent your aunt to Veridia to help because I thought you couldn’t handle such matters. What exactly are you trying to do!"
The angry voice of Old Master Lancaster came through the call.
Apparently, Penelope Lancaster had already informed Old Master about the marriage between Julian and Nina Sinclair, and now Old Master was extremely angry.
"I did register the marriage with Nina Sinclair."
It was originally Sharon’s prank, but now stuck in this quagmire, it was him who was unwilling to let go, Julian found it all incredibly ironic.
"You’re really defying heaven! Such a woman, letting her in would disgrace the Lancaster Family! The family head mistress absolutely cannot be this kind of woman! You are such a disgrace..."
Not waiting for Old Master to finish, Julian interrupted him.
He said in a deep voice, "We’re getting divorced. I just had Felix Ford draft the divorce agreement."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Lancaster calmed down.
He snorted coldly, "Good! I’ll trust you one last time."
With that, Old Master ended the call.
