Suddenly, Heidi Leighton seemed to think of something, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She glanced at Nina Sinclair and asked curiously, "By the way, Miss Sinclair, your relationship with the Thatcher Family Head is truly enviable. Could it be that you are old lovers?"
If they were old lovers, and still in touch now, even able to bring him to treat Old Master Lancaster,
that indicates their relationship isn’t that simple.
Heidi Leighton couldn’t make use of this at the birthday banquet, so now she certainly wanted to remind Old Master Lancaster that Nina Sinclair and Joel Thatcher’s relationship isn’t simple.
Heidi Leighton had an expression as if she’d seen through her and said, "Miss Sinclair, there’s no need to hide it. Having one or two ex-boyfriends isn’t something disgraceful; it’s the 21st century now, even marrying and divorcing isn’t a big deal..."
Her implication was to suggest that Nina Sinclair marrying Julian Lancaster wasn’t a big deal.
Without waiting for Nina Sinclair to speak, Heidi Leighton continued, "However, I didn’t expect Miss Sinclair and the Thatcher Family Head to have been boyfriend and girlfriend. No wonder he made an exception to treat the illness. Ordinary people don’t have that kind of ability."
Heidi Leighton didn’t wait for Nina Sinclair’s confirmation and had already labeled her and Joel Thatcher as boyfriend and girlfriend. Follow current novᴇls on No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt
As she spoke, she observed Julian Lancaster’s expression.
Surely no man wouldn’t mind his woman being entangled with another man, especially someone as outstanding as Julian Lancaster, who would definitely want his woman to be entirely devoted, with a clean and pure past.
Nina Sinclair’s eyes turned cold. If she couldn’t see that Heidi Leighton was doing this on purpose, she must be blind.
She said coldly, "Sorry to disappoint you, Miss Leighton. My relationship with Joel Thatcher isn’t as complex as you think. Only people with sordid minds see things differently from normal people."
Heidi Leighton’s face fell. Nina Sinclair actually dared to insult her to her face!
She quickly suppressed her emotions, and then a hurt expression appeared on her face as she said dejectedly, "Miss Sinclair, don’t take it to heart. I wasn’t deliberately probing into your past. If you say there’s nothing, then there’s nothing."
Her words sounded as if Nina Sinclair was trying to cover up her past and got angry out of shame.
Old Master Lancaster heard this and pressed his lips tightly together.
Indeed, why could Nina Sinclair persuade Joel Thatcher?
Even when he sent people, it was impossible. Could Nina Sinclair really be more capable than him?
Otherwise, it might indeed be as Heidi Leighton suggested, that she really has some ambiguous relationship with Joel Thatcher!
Originally, Old Master Lancaster didn’t much like Nina Sinclair. Now knowing that she still had such a relationship with another man, his face turned unpleasant, and the look he gave Nina Sinclair was full of scrutiny.
Just as the atmosphere became exceptionally tense, a voice suddenly rang out at the door.
"Miss, I am indeed good friends with Nina, but I did not agree to treat Old Master Lancaster because of her."
Everyone turned their heads at once to look in the direction of the voice.
At the door, Joel Thatcher stood tall in a white coat, clearly having heard what they were just discussing.
Old Master Lancaster’s expression softened slightly upon seeing Joel Thatcher.
After all, he would rely on Joel Thatcher for treatment in the future, so naturally, he couldn’t show him an unfriendly face.
Old Master Lancaster asked, "Family Head Thatcher, you say it wasn’t for Nina Sinclair’s sake, so what made you suddenly change your mind?"
