Julian Lancaster looked at the hastily disconnected phone, his brow furrowed. He guessed Nina Sinclair didn’t want to implicate him.
Although her intentions were good, it still made him a bit unhappy.
This proved, in Nina Sinclair’s eyes, that he did not have the ability to handle this matter.
At this moment, he somewhat regretted hiding his identity from Nina, but now wasn’t the right opportunity to discuss it.
Just then, the office door was suddenly flung open with force, and Sharon Lancaster appeared. Her face was filled with shock, as if something majorly bad had happened.
"Bro! We have a big problem!"
She took a breath and said, "This morning Mom and Dad received a message, all about Nina at Sinclair Group. I took a look at its contents; it claims she’s promiscuous and flirtatious with men everywhere, and Mom and Dad asked me what’s going on..."
She paused before continuing, "And that’s not even the most critical part. The important thing is..."
Sharon’s face went pale, with an expression of a world-shattering event, "Grandpa knows about this too!"
Just as she spoke, Julian’s phone rang suddenly, as if on cue. He glanced at the caller ID, his expression shifting slightly.
It was Old Master Lancaster calling.
He swiped to answer and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa."
"Is this the woman you fancy? A woman who sleeps around? You need to immediately cut ties with her! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless! I absolutely won’t let you be harmed by such a woman."
Old Master Lancaster’s voice rang out angrily, even Sharon beside him could feel his fury.
She couldn’t help but shrink back, feeling doomed!
Before Julian could speak, Old Madam Lancaster’s voice came through the phone too, "Julian, what’s going on, did Nina really do those things?"
Julian’s expression turned solemn. Previously in Crestfall, when Nina had cooked a meal for the elders, it had slightly eased their relationship. He didn’t expect that because of this incident, it would completely reset everything.
Convincing Grandpa would not be an easy task, he feared.
Julian gathered his thoughts and said softly, "Grandpa, Grandma, I will give you a satisfactory answer regarding this matter."
"A satisfactory answer?" Old Master Lancaster sneered and mocked, "Do you plan to quietly suppress this matter and then pretend nothing happened? I’m telling you, don’t even think about it!" The source of thɪs content is ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet
Sharon thought Julian was remarkable. Just hearing a bit of Old Master Lancaster’s angry roar terrified her to no end.
But Julian remained composed, unshaken by his harsh tone.
When Old Master Lancaster finished venting his anger, Julian said, "I will resolve this matter within three days. I trust Nina."
After speaking, Julian hung up the phone.
Sharon looked at Julian, tearful and speechless, and asked, "Bro, Grandpa seems really angry. If you don’t resolve this issue, I’m afraid he won’t let Nina off easily."
Nobody knew Old Master Lancaster’s tactics better than Sharon.
If Julian were really to confront him head-on, it would likely result in a stormy and tumultuous battle!
