After Yvette Thompson hung up the phone, she looked at Vincent Lancaster in front of her.
Frowning, she urged impatiently, "Vincent, Julian is back from his business trip. You need to make a good impression on him as soon as possible. Only by demonstrating your abilities can he entrust you with important responsibilities."
"You’ve been at Zenith for so long now, but you haven’t handled any significant projects. This won’t do!" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
Although Vincent was appointed as a manager at Zenith, he only dealt with trivial matters, and the key clients were never under his control.
Yvette was starting to worry too.
A hint of impatience crossed Vincent’s face as he said dejectedly, "I’ve tried several times to see him, but he’s always busy. There’s nothing I can do."
Julian was always very busy, and Vincent didn’t dare to voice his concerns.
Upon hearing this, Yvette’s expression darkened, and she said, "That’s why you need to focus on this mural project. If you complete it, you’ll have a reason to meet him. Why did you let Nina Sinclair take time off? Don’t tell me you feel sorry for her?"
"I don’t." Vincent recalled the rumors swirling around recently and said, "I heard she was injured, so that’s probably why she hasn’t been around."
His mind was entirely focused on Julian; how could he pay attention to minor things involving Nina?
"Injured? I bet she’s faking it. A woman like her is capable of anything, she’s definitely trying to sabotage your success and make a fool of you in front of Julian. Don’t trust her."
"She’s faking the injury?"
The more Vincent thought about it, the more he felt that Nina’s accident was fabricated. Why couldn’t she behave herself? What scheme was she plotting?
Such a devious woman!
His face showed anger as he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how unwilling she is, I won’t want her!"
As soon as Nina Sinclair arrived at Zenith by taxi, she saw Yvette and Vincent standing there. As she approached, she heard Vincent’s absurd remarks.
Immediately, she let out a cold chuckle and said with a sarcastic tone, "I’ve heard of people binding small feet, but never small brains. Vincent, did you even bring your brain when you left the house today? Where do you get the confidence to think I’d still be hung up on you?"
Upon hearing the mocking voice, both turned to look at her.
Nina had her right arm in a cast, supported by a sling around her neck, and bandages were visible on other parts, making her look genuinely injured.
Seeing this annoying appearance of Nina again, a look of disdain flickered in Yvette’s eyes.
She looked at Nina with contempt and smugly said, "Vincent’s a rare find, where else could you find such a good man? Of course, you’re reluctant to give him up."
"Sorry, your son’s not all that, and I’m already married. So please, stop trying to use me as a foil, thanks!"
Vincent was stunned to hear Nina say she was already married.
He’d put a lot of effort into pursuing Nina before she agreed to be with him, and now she married someone else right after breaking up with him?
Nina continued, "My husband is gentle and considerate, handsome, and better in every way than Vincent. Our relationship is very harmonious. Please, Ms. Thompson and Mr. Lancaster, maintain some decorum going forward."
Afterward, she stopped engaging with the two and simply turned to leave.
Yvette was so angry her face turned black. "Vincent, do you really believe what she said? How could she possibly give you up? What she said was just to make you anxious so you’d go back for her. Don’t be foolish, Sierra is the Sinclair family’s daughter and nothing like Nina."
Vincent was feeling a bit resentful earlier, but after hearing Yvette’s words, he immediately scoffed, "Mom, of course, I know Nina’s playing hard to get. Do I look like such an idiot? I won’t fall for her tricks!"
She’s married, and her husband is better than him? That’s a massive joke!
What ordinary man would accept a woman from a single-parent family? Moreover, she has to pay high medical bills for her mother in the hospital each month. A wealthy family wouldn’t want such a woman.
"That’s better then."
Yvette’s sharp eyes deepened as if she’d thought of something.
She said, "Vincent, prompt Sierra to arrange a meeting between the Sinclair Family and us. You’re about to get married soon, it’s essential to meet the future in-laws."
"Alright, I understand. I’ll talk to Sierra. Mom, don’t worry, as if Sierra would dare deceive us?"
Yvette felt there was truth in his words.
The Sinclair Family is no ordinary family, with a prominent position in Crestfall. Even if Sierra had ten times the courage, she wouldn’t dare pretend to be a wealthy heiress to fool them.
