After a while, the servant led Nina Sinclair in.
Ruby Sinclair, seeing Nina Sinclair, sneered, "Nina, have you changed your mind already? If you withdraw from the Sinclair Group, I’ll tell you what happened."
Nina Sinclair looked at her indifferently; so this was what Ruby wanted to say.
She said coldly, "No need."
"Nina, this matter is very important. Don’t you want to know?"
Nina Sinclair noted the anxious look on Ruby Sinclair’s face, and with a mocking chuckle in her heart, she replied, "If you’re talking about Uncle Lancaster, then you don’t need to say anything. I already know."
After speaking, she bypassed the two of them and went upstairs.
Seeing that Nina dared to ignore her, Ruby Sinclair was livid with rage, gritting her teeth, she said, "Mom, how did that little bitch find out about this? Did someone tell her?"
Hazel Lennox’s expression was also somewhat unpleasant. She had originally intended to use this matter to threaten Nina Sinclair, but unexpectedly, Nina already knew.
Outside the study, Nina Sinclair knocked on the door.
"Come in." Byron Sinclair’s voice came from inside.
Nina Sinclair turned the doorknob and entered. Byron Sinclair was seated in the center, and upon seeing Nina, he pointed to a spot in front of him and said, "Sit down, you’re here to ask me about your mother, aren’t you?"
Byron Sinclair knew that Nina wouldn’t have come to find him unless she had learned about that matter.
Since Byron Sinclair didn’t beat around the bush, Nina Sinclair asked directly, "What’s the deal with my mother and Uncle Lancaster?"
Byron Sinclair let out a heavy sigh, his mind drifting back to the past.
"Back then, your mother and I were in a business marriage. Our feelings weren’t very deep, and after you were born, our relationship grew even colder."
"It was around that time that I got together with your Aunt Hazel, and your mother met someone she liked, Uncle Lancaster. Our wedding was very grand back then, and the Sherman Family was very traditional, believing that a woman’s divorce would bring shame to the family. They didn’t allow your mother to divorce, so we carried on like that until one day, that unexpected event happened."
Hearing this, the color drained from Nina Sinclair’s face.
A moment later, she asked, "Is this what you talked about with Julian Lancaster last night?"
Byron Sinclair nodded, "Yes, that’s right. I wanted to tell you earlier, but I feared that knowing this would make you sad and affect your relationship."
After a pause, Byron Sinclair looked at Nina and sighed, "Nina, I’m very glad you’ve found a man you like. Given that the relationship between your mother and me wasn’t smooth, I hope you can find happiness. This is just a grudge from our previous generation. I thought carefully about it and realized I shouldn’t interfere with your freedom; none of this concerns you."
So it was true—her mother was indeed involved with Uncle Lancaster.
Nina Sinclair felt a chill sweep over her body, her mind unable to process the information. Julian Lancaster must be in pain too.
But how can it not concern them? After all, he’s part of the Lancasters, the son of Grandfather and Grandma Lancaster. On that day in the countryside, she talked a lot with Grandma Lancaster, learning about her feelings for Uncle Lancaster.
Nina Sinclair couldn’t find words for a long while.
After waiting for a while, she finally said bitterly, "Julian and I have decided to separate." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt
