"She used to bully me often, relying on being the elder sister, and I could only silently endure it. She was so used to being arrogant and domineering that even Dad couldn’t control her."
She didn’t know about Julian Lancaster and Nina Sinclair’s relationship and wanted to badmouth Nina in front of Julian, while also painting a pitiful image of herself, hoping to evoke the man’s sympathy.
As expected, Julian’s frown deepened at Ruby Sinclair’s words.
Ruby thought she had succeeded in sowing discord and was secretly pleased, but to her surprise, she saw Julian step towards Nina Sinclair, showing a look of astonishment in her eyes.
Quickly, Ruby snapped back to reality. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
Could it be that Julian wants to stand up for her?
She hurriedly said, "Young Master Lancaster, you don’t need to stand up for me. After all, Nina and I are sisters, I don’t blame her."
Julian ignored her, continuing resolutely towards Nina Sinclair.
Hazel Lennox saw Julian approaching and gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction. She had wanted to drive Nina Sinclair away to keep her from attracting Julian’s attention, but unexpectedly, this little witch still caught Julian’s eye.
"Young Master Lancaster..."
Ruby followed closely, anxiously saying, "Young Master Lancaster, I’m really alright."
Upon hearing about Ruby’s situation, Hazel quickly grabbed her hand and asked, "Vivian, what’s going on? Why did Young Master Lancaster suddenly come over? Did Nina catch his attention just now?"
"Mom, I just talked to Young Master Lancaster about my sister, and I didn’t expect him to stand up for me. I’m helpless too."
They never guessed that Nina Sinclair and Julian Lancaster knew each other, so now it could only be that Julian was coming over for Ruby’s sake, and Ruby firmly believed that too.
Although Julian didn’t respond when she talked to him just now, he was still drawn to her attention.
Hearing this, Hazel knew Ruby had successfully latched onto Julian.
If Julian didn’t care for Ruby, how could he possibly stand up for her after hearing her words?
She immediately smiled brightly and said, "Ah, why are you stopping him? Now that Julian is standing up for you in front of everyone, you have so much face. Everyone knows about you and Julian, and when you cooperate with Lancaster Group, it’s a done deal."
Hearing this, Ruby instantly felt that Hazel was right.
This was something she hadn’t considered before.
Thinking about how Nina would be humiliated in front of everyone later, Ruby felt extremely satisfied.
Ruby no longer hurried, slowly following behind Julian Lancaster.
Julian walked up to Nina Sinclair, looked down at her, and Nina sighed helplessly, asking, "I told you not to come out so early, and now see, you’ve been entangled by that seductive vixen."
Hearing Nina’s words, Julian smiled.
He said indulgently, "Yes, it’s my fault."
Nina asked again, "Did you greet my grandpa? He’s the birthday star today, you should say something to him, lest he thinks you’re an impolite grandson-in-law."
In fact, Julian had already sent a gift in advance, but Old Master Sinclair probably didn’t know that Julian was Nina’s husband yet, so Julian told a small lie to let Nina introduce him personally.
Nina sighed helplessly, taking Julian’s hand, "Let’s go, let’s greet Grandpa."
After speaking, she led Julian towards Old Master Sinclair.
The two of them passed by Ruby Sinclair and Hazel Lennox, completely ignoring them as if they were invisible.
Ruby and Hazel widened their eyes, looking incredulously at Julian and Nina’s backs, their minds buzzing as if they hadn’t snapped back to reality from what was just said.
What did Nina say just now?
Julian is Old Master’s grandson-in-law?
Doesn’t that mean Nina and Julian are... are married?
