Watching Nina Sinclair and Old Madam Lancaster getting along so well without a hint of awkwardness, he pursed his lips in displeasure.
Could it be that in his absence, Moira had secretly contacted Nina Sinclair behind his back?
Otherwise, why is there no trace of unfamiliarity between the two?
Moira Kendall’s attitude towards Nina Sinclair was even better than when Heidi Leighton came to the Lancaster Family that day!
Old Master Lancaster, although in a foul mood, merely snorted and said nothing more, continuing to watch the surveillance footage.
He wanted to see how this woman intended to bewitch Moira!
Nina Sinclair’s initial apprehension quickly evaporated after Old Madam Lancaster extended her goodwill.
She brought out the gift she had prepared and handed it to Old Madam Lancaster, saying, "Grandma, this is a specialty I bought in Veridia. I hope you won’t mind."
The natural lifestyle in Veridia is excellent, with its picturesque mountains and waters, known for its nutritious medicinal dishes. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
What Nina brought was a selection of nourishing health products, perfect for gifting to the elderly. Although not very pricey, they were carefully chosen.
Old Madam Lancaster had seen all kinds of delicacies, the likes of bird’s nest, abalone, shark fins, sea cucumber, and they meant little to her.
But she still liked what Nina brought.
Moreover, the brand she gifted was the same Julian Lancaster often prepared for Old Master Lancaster.
Previously, after consuming Julian’s gift, Old Master Lancaster’s complexion improved considerably. Recently, having run out, and due to the ongoing spat between Julian and Old Master Lancaster, where he was still mad and refused Julian’s overtures, it hadn’t been replenished. Now, Nina’s gift was like a timely rain.
At that moment, Old Madam Lancaster chuckled, saying, "Definitely not. Nina, you’re thoughtful."
Seeing that Old Madam Lancaster was not displeased, Nina Sinclair immediately relaxed.
Just then, Old Master Lancaster, watching the monitor, asked, "Uncle Minh, what did that woman bring out?"
Uncle Minh had been to Veridia and had seen those items before.
So, he promptly replied, "Sir, that’s Veridia’s medicinal cuisine. Many in Crestfall have servants fly to Veridia just to buy it. Young Master Quentin also sent it to you, seems Miss Sinclair is quite considerate."
Old Master Lancaster recalled the recent cooling of ties with Julian Lancaster all because of this woman.
Julian hasn’t even sent any medicinal dishes lately.
It must be a deliberate act so that this woman could use it to endear herself to Moira, and in turn, him, making him accept her.
Humph! Clearly not a good woman.
Such deep scheming was easily seen through by him.
Uncle Minh noticed Old Master Lancaster scowling at the monitor and silently thought, Master always praised Julian about the efficacy of those medicinal dishes, yet now even Nina Sinclair’s gift couldn’t appease him. Clearly, Julian and Nina Sinclair still have a long road ahead.
Old Master Lancaster snorted, "Let’s see what else that woman has up her sleeve!"
With those words, he stared intently at the monitor again.
Nina Sinclair chatted with Old Madam Lancaster for a while. She suddenly remembered Old Master Lancaster’s illness, and with some concern, asked Old Madam Lancaster, "Grandma, you said on the phone that Grandpa’s sick. Is it true?"
Old Madam Lancaster’s eyes flickered with a hint of guilt as she replied, "Yes, indeed. We’ve consulted many doctors, but none have been effective."
Old Master Lancaster drove himself hard in his younger years, causing significant physical strain, just to establish the Lancaster Group.
Such a proud man all his life, he could never allow himself to accept someone like Nina Sinclair, whom he looked down upon, to jeopardize the hard-earned legacy of the Lancaster Family. Acceptance of Nina would not come easily.
