Recently, the Lancaster Family has begun to see some changes. They are all trying their best to please Old Master Lancaster. If they come less now, doesn’t that mean there’s no chance to win him over?
Instantly, someone started to complain about Monica Lancaster, feeling she was just being too talkative.
Couldn’t she have said it in private?
Did she have to say it in front of everyone, causing them to get into trouble too?
Seeing everyone’s expressions, Monica Lancaster’s face paled a bit more.
Nina Sinclair found it somewhat humorous; she’d never seen someone trying to stir things up and ended up getting herself involved.
During the meal, Monica Lancaster went to the bathroom, but she was grabbed at the turn of the stairs.
Vincent Lancaster pulled her to the garden, staring at her with gloomy eyes. He asked in a low voice, "Why are you targeting Nina Sinclair? You have no grievances or grudges against her; your hostility towards her is too obvious."
Monica Lancaster shook off Vincent Lancaster’s hand, her expression stern as she said, "Vincent Lancaster, what do you mean? When did I ever target Nina Sinclair?"
After speaking, she continued, "Mind your status; don’t be so disrespectful."
Old Master Lancaster had Vincent Lancaster’s father at a young age, which led to Vincent being not much younger than the other elders, so he wasn’t very respectful when speaking to them now.
Vincent Lancaster let out a cold laugh and said, "Don’t deny it. I know everything."
Seeing the meaningful smile on Vincent Lancaster’s lips, Monica Lancaster’s heart tightened slightly.
She inexplicably felt a bit panicked.
Monica Lancaster raised her eyes to look at him, puzzled, and asked, "What do you know?"
"You like Julian Lancaster." Vincent Lancaster leaned in, whispering into Monica Lancaster’s ear.
Monica Lancaster’s face instantly darkened. She stepped back two paces, warily looking at Vincent Lancaster, then harshly rebuked, "What nonsense are you talking? Don’t say these things again, or I won’t be polite to you."
After speaking, Monica Lancaster turned and left.
Watching Monica Lancaster’s departing figure, Vincent Lancaster chuckled darkly.
He had learned about this incidentally: Monica Lancaster was not Zachary Lancaster’s biological daughter, but was adopted by him.
As for Monica Lancaster liking Julian Lancaster, he guessed it after seeing her target Nina Sinclair; otherwise, Monica Lancaster’s attitude toward her was just too strange.
Initially, Vincent Lancaster thought it was hard for him alone to deal with Julian Lancaster.
But now with Monica Lancaster, he felt he had another ally. Monica Lancaster had always been on the same boat as him.
After Monica Lancaster left, she angrily locked herself in the bathroom.
She hadn’t expected her secret to be discovered by Vincent Lancaster.
It was true she wasn’t Zachary Lancaster’s daughter but was adopted by him. She had always kept this hidden deeply, not letting anyone know, and didn’t expect Vincent Lancaster to find out.
She did know that her feelings for Julian Lancaster were somewhat distorted, but she couldn’t control herself.
Perhaps Julian Lancaster didn’t even remember what happened between them.
As a child, she was often bullied by other members of the Lancaster Family. That day, they forced her, who couldn’t swim, to jump into the water. She stood crying on the shore, and then Julian Lancaster came by and helped her, handing her a towel. Follow current novels on NovᴇlFɪre.ɴet
She remembered he said at the time, "If you can’t, then go learn; otherwise, you’ll always have this weakness."
She overcame her fear and learned to swim.
