Old Master Lancaster raised his eyes to Julian Lancaster and said, "Julian, I am tired of investigating who’s right or wrong in this matter. I only ask you one thing: how do you plan to handle Nina Sinclair?"
The words just spoken by the Lancasters deepened his disappointment in Julian.
Since childhood, he had doted on Julian especially. Even when Julian’s parents took him to Veridia, he feared Julian would be poorly raised, so he frequently brought him to Crestfall to live, hiring the best teachers to instruct him.
Later on, Julian indeed did not disappoint him, showing astounding talent and exceptional intelligence.
He became increasingly satisfied, planning to cultivate him further and eventually hand over the Lancaster Family to him.
Originally, everything was going so smoothly, but unexpectedly, it all fell apart concerning Julian’s future plans. Since he met Nina, everything has changed.
"Julian, I lay my words down here today: I will never accept this woman. How you choose, you tell me now."
Old Master Lancaster was giving Julian a chance; if he chose Nina Sinclair, he would have no future with the Lancaster Family.
He would rather hand the Lancaster Family to another member than let Julian have it.
It seemed that because of Nina, Old Master Lancaster was utterly disappointed in him and no longer favored Julian.
Those who had just badmouthed Julian thought Old Master Lancaster would abandon him for good, but unexpectedly, he was still given a chance. It was infuriating.
Yet they dared not speak further for fear of Old Master Lancaster’s wrath.

She understood that Old Master Lancaster was forcing Julian to choose between her and the family.
In truth, she didn’t want Julian to turn his back on the Lancaster Family because of her. After all, Julian’s last name was Lancaster, and the family was indeed his support and backing. Without it, he’d face many obstacles in his career.
But if Julian chose the family, they would have to part.
The last time they went through a mock divorce, she was nearly heartbroken. If they really divorced, she couldn’t imagine how devastated she would be without Julian.
Sharon Lancaster was anxious and fidgety; she felt Old Master Lancaster was overly harsh, forcing her brother to make such a difficult choice.
Couldn’t he have both?
Was it necessary to drag the grudges of the past generation into theirs?
Julian glanced at Nina, his eyes deepening, with an unreadable emotion flickering within, as dark and impenetrable as ink.
After a moment, he slowly spoke, "Grandfather, as you wish, I will part ways with Nina Sinclair."
As his words fell, the reactions were varied.
Old Master Lancaster’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed, his expression easing. Julian had not completely lost his mind!
Julian’s uncles had thought that after he openly defied Old Master Lancaster for Nina, he would choose the same way again. Little did they expect him to choose .
They were angry yet envious of Julian’s continued favor from Old Master Lancaster, even in such times when he was still given a chance to inherit the family.
But jealousy was futile; with the Lancaster Family in Old Master Lancaster’s hands, they couldn’t change his mind.
Nina had earlier hoped that Julian wouldn’t betray the family for her, but now, knowing his choice, she felt indescribably lost.
It was as if a giant hand was squeezing her heart, leaving her breathless.
Were she and Julian truly going to part ways now?
