Chapter 374: Did You Really Think I Let Her Go?

Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Did You Really Think I Let Her Go?

"Director Sinclair..." Although Millie Langley was relieved she didn’t have to resign, she was still worried that Nina Sinclair wouldn’t be able to resolve the issue, and she would end up being implicated.

Nina Sinclair gave her a reassuring look, "Don’t worry."

Then, she took Rebecca Lowell’s design draft.

Seeing that there was nothing more to see, everyone dispersed, except for Yvonne Crowe, who stood there unwillingly, her eyes dark with dissatisfaction.

Yvonne had thought she could gain some advantage, but unexpectedly Nina Sinclair managed to muddle through, leaving her with a feeling of discontent.

What a pity!

She leaned toward Rebecca Lowell and whispered, "Rebecca, how could you let Nina Sinclair off so easily? If you’d pushed her to resign just now, I could’ve become the director and helped you."

Yvonne’s words sounded nice, but in reality, it was for her own benefit to become the design director.

Rebecca Lowell let out a light snort and said, "Do you really think I let her off?"

Yvonne showed a puzzled expression upon hearing this.

Rebecca Lowell smiled mysteriously, without revealing her intentions to Yvonne, leaving Yvonne itching with curiosity. However, she knew that as long as she continued to curry favor with Rebecca Lowell, she would gain more benefits in the future.

Yvonne hurriedly flattered, "Rebecca, if you ever need anything from me, I’ll do my best to help."

Rebecca Lowell certainly knew Yvonne was trying to gain benefits from her. Whether or not she would give her any benefits, she relished in the servility showered upon her.

"Alright, since you’re so perceptive, I won’t forget your benefits."


Yvonne’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Thank you, Rebecca!"

After Nina Sinclair returned to her desk, she spread out the design draft. Although it was stained with coffee, the base draft was still clearly visible and only required minor touch-ups and redrawing, which was not difficult for her.

"Director Sinclair, can this be restored?" Millie Langley asked anxiously from the side.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Millie Langley’s tense brows finally relaxed, showing a relieved expression, "Great, if it can be restored, then I won’t be dismissed."

Hearing Millie’s words, Nina Sinclair smiled, "Rest assured, this isn’t a big deal, not enough for a resignation."

"Director Sinclair, you’re so kind, thank you!"

Moved, Millie Langley looked at Nina Sinclair with teary eyes, filled with heartfelt gratitude.

Nina Sinclair sighed softly and said, "This matter has passed for now, but things may not be peaceful in the future. Millie, you need to be careful not to let them find any leverage against you, and... forgive me for the inconvenience."

Although this issue was stirred up by Millie Langley, the real reason she was targeted was because she was Nina Sinclair’s assistant.

Hearing Nina Sinclair apologize to her, Millie Langley quickly waved her hands in a panic.

"Director Sinclair, I feel no grievance. I am your assistant, and these are things I should bear. It was my lack of caution, and I will be more careful in the future."

Nina Sinclair heard this and curled her lips slightly.


It seemed Millie Langley was a sensible young woman who didn’t resent being implicated.

"Alright, let’s work together to restore the draft."

"Okay!"

Suddenly, Nina Sinclair remembered something, her expression becoming slightly serious.

She said to Millie Langley, "By the way, starting today, record videos of me restoring the draft every day and post them online, without missing a single day."

"Huh? Why? These design drafts haven’t been officially released; it’s not good to make them public like this, right?" Millie Langley asked, full of doubts.

"Then post them on your private account, where no one will see them."

Nina Sinclair was not doing this intentionally; her past experiences forced her to be cautious, afraid of falling into any traps again.

"Alright, I do have a private account with no followers, just a place for me to vent and rant."

"Okay, let’s start."

Afterwards, the two of them began to restore Rebecca Lowell’s draft. The earlier incident quickly dissipated without leChapter 375: I Need to Think It Over

Chapter 375: Chapter 375: I Need to Think It Over

President of Zenith’s office.

Marcus Walsh stood respectfully in front of Julian Lancaster, reporting, "President Lancaster, it seems like Vincent Lancaster has been looking into your affairs recently."

Julian Lancaster paused his work and looked up at him.

"We found out that Vincent has been secretly offering a high price to buy your candid photos, but the reporters destroyed those photos long ago, and even if anyone kept them, no one dares to sell them to him."

Julian had always dismissed this inept nephew and wasn’t worried about Nina Sinclair going back to Vincent.

He snorted lightly, "Don’t bother with him."

Right now, Julian was thinking about another matter.

Sierra Sinclair had already resigned, and now the newly established jewelry department, Elysian, needed a leader. He wanted to appoint Nina Sinclair.

But his current status didn’t allow him to do it directly.

The best way was for Nina Sinclair to naturally take the position and gain everyone’s support.

He looked up at Marcus and instructed, "Elysian is currently lacking a leader. Spread the word and select someone from among all the employees at Elysian."

Marcus knew that Julian wanted to manipulate the situation from behind the scenes.

Although it was said to select from all employees, it essentially meant letting Nina Sinclair stand out and become the leader of Elysian.

He nodded immediately and said, "Yes."


After speaking, Marcus turned to leave, but unexpectedly, Julian called him back, "Marcus, wait a moment."

Marcus stopped and turned around, "President Lancaster, do you have any other instructions?"

Julian paused and asked, "I heard you’ve started dating?"

"Uh..." Marcus was a bit surprised that Julian would be interested in his personal affairs.

Recently, his relationship with Rebecca Lowell had progressed quickly. They confirmed their relationship just a couple of days ago, and he had told Walter Wyatt about it this morning. He didn’t expect that President Lancaster already knew, likely thanks to Walter’s big mouth!

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Marcus’s face as he said in a low voice, "Yes, I’ve just started dating someone, she’s also from our company, but don’t worry, President Lancaster, I won’t let it affect my work!"

Even though Zenith didn’t have rules against office romances, Marcus was still a bit nervous.

Julian initially wanted to remind Marcus to be mindful of the implications since Marcus represented him, but he thought it unnecessary and decided not to say anything.

He said, "Okay, go ahead."

Marcus breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave the office.

...

The office fell silent once more.

Julian Lancaster’s brows furrowed tightly as he recalled the events of last night, a look of helplessness appearing on his face.


It was clear that Nina Sinclair was very resistant to him, keeping her heart closed, and as long as she refused to open up, they would remain stuck like this.

This wasn’t a solution, but he had no better ideas.

Ding—

The phone on the table suddenly rang.

Julian glanced down; it was a message from Sharon Lancaster.

Sharon: "Bro, what are you up to?"

"Need money?" Julian slowly typed his reply.

After a short wait, Sharon called him directly.

Julian swiped to answer, and before he could say anything, Sharon blurted out, "Bro! What do you mean by that? Who are you trying to insult with money? Can’t I, as your sister, just be concerned about you?"

"Hmm, I was originally thinking of letting you usChapter 376: Of Course, Get Closer to Her

Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Of Course, Get Closer to Her

Normally, Julian is always generous with Sharon, never refusing her requests.

He whispered, "I’ll have Marcus give you the card."

After benefiting from him, Sharon felt she should do something for Julian.

She said, "Brother, is there anything you need me to do recently? I’ll definitely do my best to help!"

Julian’s eyes darkened slightly, somewhat troubled as he said, "Nina is a bit resistant to me now."

Although it was hard to speak about, he felt there was no need to hide it in front of Sharon.

Sharon exclaimed, "Oh? How long has this been going on?"

"Since the last time at Goldenleaf Manor."

"Ah... could it be that your extraordinary talents scare Nina? After all, for a girl, if her first impression is not good, it can indeed leave a psychological shadow."

Besides this reason, there seemed to be no other explanation.

Julian, hearing this, had a look of regret in his eyes, unclear if he had hurt Nina.

"Actually, it’s not unsolvable!" Sharon said with a serious tone, "Since Nina has a psychological shadow, you just have to dispel it!"

"How to dispel it?"

"Of course, by getting closer to her! Once she gets used to it, she won’t resist you anymore!" Although Sharon had little experience in love, she could rattle off dating tips thanks to her extensive reading of romance novels.


She had seen every trick in romancing a girl.

Now giving advice to Julian, she spoke with great confidence.

Julian felt that what she said made sense, and his doubts were immediately resolved.

...

The news that Elysian was holding elections for a new leader quickly spread throughout the department.

Many, upon hearing this, were excited and thrilled.

The announcement mentioned selecting from Elysian’s staff, with no specific qualifications required. Does that mean anyone can register to run?

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Many were eager to try.

Rebecca was also very happy. She had just tentatively complained to President Lancaster about the chaos in Elysian without leadership.

President Lancaster assured her that it would soon change.

She didn’t expect it to be like this!

By selecting a leader so broadly, it seems he wanted to avoid any talk about favoritism.


Rebecca smirked slightly, feeling sweetly pleased, thinking President Lancaster was really good to her!

She glanced at the faces around her, full of keen discussions, and chuckled inwardly: These people are daydreaming if they think just by participating, they’ll get selected?

They’re just going along for the ride and are overjoyed, it’s laughable!

Busy repairing a draft, Nina didn’t know about this.

It was Millie, curious about the noise from outside, who went out to investigate and returned excitedly with the great news.

"Director Sinclair, Elysian is selecting a leader!!" Millie said, beaming with excitement, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you become the leader, you won’t have to fear them anymore."

Chapter 377: President Lancaster Wants to Help His Girlfriend Rise to Power

Chapter 377: Chapter 377: President Lancaster Wants to Help His Girlfriend Rise to Power

Millie Langley’s excitement gradually cooled down. She looked at Nina Sinclair, and asked in surprise, "What’s wrong? Don’t you want to be a leader?"

Nina Sinclair gathered her thoughts and put on a faint smile.

"No, I just need to think about it."

Upon hearing this, Millie Langley was a bit curious. Most people would be eager to take up such an opportunity immediately, yet Nina Sinclair said she needed to think it over. What was there to consider?

Nina Sinclair didn’t say much more, just continued her restoration work earnestly.

But during the breaks, she couldn’t help but think of her past at the Sinclair Group. Back then, she entered the Sinclair Group and held a leadership position.

However, not long after, an incident occurred that caused half a year’s effort of the whole group to go to waste.

Although the issue was resolved in time, it left a significant impact on her, so hearing about being a leader again didn’t excite her as it might others.

After work, Nina Sinclair received a message from Julian Lancaster saying he would pick her up.

She had just walked downstairs when she saw his car appear before her.

Nina Sinclair opened the car door and got in.

"How was work today?" Julian Lancaster asked casually.

Nina Sinclair recalled the minor issues that had come up, feeling a faint headache again. Rebecca Lowell’s draft might take about three days to restore, and only then would this matter be concluded.

"There were some minor surprises, but it’s okay, I can handle it."


She didn’t want to worry Julian Lancaster, so she downplayed it.

But she then thought about the leadership election in Elysian, so she added, "Also, Sierra Sinclair has been dismissed, and now Elysian is leaderless. The senior management has given a notice saying they’ll choose a leader from among us..."

After pausing for a moment, Nina sighed helplessly, "I feel like President Lancaster is probably trying to promote his girlfriend."

Julian Lancaster: "..."

If he didn’t know that Nina was unaware of his identity, he might have thought that she already knew what he was secretly doing to elevate her.

But in Nina’s eyes, President Lancaster was actually Marcus Walsh.

Plus, Marcus Walsh had just started dating, and the woman he was seeing seemed to be a designer from Elysian.

No wonder Nina would think this way.

Julian Lancaster cleared his throat uneasily and said, "President Lancaster did make that decision, but I believe he’s a fair and just person who wouldn’t engage in favoritism."

He secretly praised himself a bit.

Nina Sinclair, however, was unconvinced. She said, "You never know, people always support their girlfriends, right? My assistant asked me today if I wanted to participate, and I’m still hesitating."

Apart from the impact of the past incident, she was also afraid that this was a selection process set up by President Lancaster for Rebecca Lowell, and all other participants were just foils. If that’s the case, she didn’t want to waste her efforts participating.

Before Nina Sinclair could say anything more, Julian Lancaster said, "You should participate."Chapter 378: Deciding to Sign Up

Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Deciding to Sign Up

"But..." Nina Sinclair hesitated.

She was worried she might not be able to lead the team properly, and feared that any mistakes she made could affect her team members.

Unexpectedly, Julian Lancaster continued, "Managers at Zenith have the qualification to purchase property at Royal Vista Estates, and they get a ten percent discount."

Nina Sinclair stared in shock.

What!?

The qualification to purchase at Royal Vista Estates, and with a ten percent discount?

Is this for real? She never imagined the leadership benefits at Zenith would be so great, considering Royal Vista Estates is one of Veridia’s most sought-after developments. Even if ordinary people have money, lacking status means they might not be able to buy a place there!

She was tempted!

Nina Sinclair had always wanted to buy a property at Royal Vista Estates, as it’s filled with memories of her and Julian Lancaster.

Even though she was uncertain about her and Julian Lancaster’s future.

But she secretly wished to own the place where they had shared their lives.

Julian Lancaster coolly glanced at Nina Sinclair, aware of her little penchant; she had once told him she really liked Royal Vista Estates. However, now that he’s just a driver and assistant, he couldn’t directly gift her a property.

On the surface, letting her make an effort while secretly gifting it later seemed like a good idea.

Seeing Nina Sinclair’s expression change repeatedly, Julian Lancaster knew she had agreed.


Sure enough, Nina Sinclair made up her mind without further hesitation, "I’ve decided! I’m going to register!"

Julian Lancaster’s lips curved slightly, "Alright, go for it."

They went grocery shopping at the market along the way, and once back at Royal Vista Estates, Nina Sinclair got busy in the kitchen.

Nina Sinclair was responsible for the main tasks, while Julian Lancaster assisted her, their teamwork was seamless.

She turned and glanced at Julian Lancaster. His long, slender fingers were skillfully mixing the eggs with chopsticks, his movements practiced and agile.

The incandescent light cast shadows from above, highlighting his handsome and charming features.

Nina Sinclair couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, captivated.

He wasn’t making mistakes like he used to, which was why they could cooperate so perfectly. It seemed she had transformed this man well; it would be such a shame to pass him onto another woman.

Julian Lancaster noticed Nina Sinclair staring at him with a look of admiration and felt extremely pleased.

So she did have feelings for him, she was only avoiding him due to psychological shadows he’d cast?

Recalling Sharon Lancaster’s words, perhaps he ought to give it a try.

Julian Lancaster put down the bowl in his hand and walked over to Nina Sinclair.

Nina Sinclair’s heart raced as Julian Lancaster approached, unsure of his intentions, and when he was suddenly very close, she realized their posture was too intimate.


Her lower back pressed against the counter, leaving no room for retreat, feeling enveloped in his embrace.

"Lu... Julian, what are you trying to do?"

Julian Lancaster lowered his eyes, gazing at her delicate face, "To help you get used to me, I need to be around you more."

Nina Sinclair heard these words, and her heart skipped a beat.

She was greatly accustomed to Julian LancasterChapter 379: Don’t Resist Me

Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Don’t Resist Me

"Nina, don’t resist me."

Hearing Julian Lancaster’s words, Nina Sinclair inexplicably felt guilty.

She really didn’t do it on purpose, but because fear and worry gathered together, causing panic inside her, she instinctively rejected his approach.

Julian Lancaster seemed determined to get close to Nina Sinclair, to make her adapt to his presence quickly, and he gently lifted Nina Sinclair’s chin.

Then, slowly covered her soft lips.

Nina Sinclair’s body was resistant, but her heart longed for his closeness. With such conflicting feelings, she allowed the man to kiss her deeper.

Perceiving Nina Sinclair gradually relaxing, Julian Lancaster couldn’t help but get closer to her.

The successive kisses made Nina Sinclair’s whole body go soft, and she could only collapse in his arms.

A moment later, Julian Lancaster released Nina Sinclair.

Because of shortness of breath, her cheeks were flushed red, making her look as tempting as a peach, which made Julian Lancaster want to kiss her again.

But Nina Sinclair detected his intention and reached out to block his chest.

"Julian... let’s eat."

If this goes on, they won’t be able to hide it anymore.

Julian Lancaster replied hoarsely, "Okay."


Freed, Nina Sinclair avoided him, embarrassed, and started busying herself with cooking, silently wanting to cry without tears.

Why does it feel so difficult, moving in together?

She needs to hurry and investigate Goldenleaf Manor!

During dinner, Nina Sinclair felt uneasy, which Julian Lancaster naturally noticed. After they finished eating, he said, "Nina, shall we have a good talk?"

Nina Sinclair was briefly stunned.

She felt Julian Lancaster was going to be upfront with her. Was her behavior too obvious? Normal men have needs, she can’t keep going on like this.

She gently closed her eyes and sighed in her heart.

Forget it, she decided to tell him everything. She was throwing caution to the wind!

The two sat on the sofa, Nina Sinclair hung her head low, looking particularly downcast.

She thought about where to start...

"Julian, that day I..."

Before Nina Sinclair finished speaking, a bank card was handed to her.

Her words came to an abrupt stop.


"What’s this?"

"A bank card."

"I know, what are you giving me a bank card for?"

Julian Lancaster smiled and said, "I know you want to buy a house. This is my salary card; I’ll leave it to you from now on."

He had already set up monthly deposits into the card, equivalent to Felix Ford, Marcus Walsh, and others’ salaries.

Nina Sinclair was surprised, opened her mouth in disbelief, thinking Julian Lancaster wanted to talk about... giving her household money?!

My goodness! His interruption made the courage rising in her heart disappear instantly.

Now she felt she couldn’t speak further.

Julian Lancaster said, "My salary isn’t very high, but apart from the regular salary, there’s extra bonuses and benefits. It should be decent."

"Uh..." Nina Sinclair was somewhat bewildered; she spoke softly, "You don’t have to give me the entire card. You should deduct your expenses first and then transfer the rest to me."

"No need, Zenith covers meals. I don’t have many personal expenses."

Nina Sinclair was speechless, struggling not to cry. Where could one find such a perfect man!

He’s simply a walking ATM, submitting all he earns, which is truly touching.


After speaking, Julian Lancaster stood up, "You’ve worked hard cooking. Take a good rest; I’ll go wash the dishes."

After he said this, he walked towards the kitchenChapter 380: Signing Up for the Election

Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Signing Up for the Election

In the kitchen, Julian Lancaster lightly smirked.

He was just testing her earlier.

The result left him very satisfied.

Even though Nina Sinclair seemed somewhat resistant, she didn’t actually reject him; maybe it’s just a psychological shadow that she will eventually get over.

He believed that over time, she would gradually begin to accept him again.

At night, they were getting ready for bed.

After the little episode during cooking, Nina Sinclair really felt uneasy, worried that Julian Lancaster might act unpredictably.

She hesitated in the bathroom for a long time and finally couldn’t stay in there any longer, so she opened the bathroom door and went out.

Julian Lancaster was lying in bed reading, with only the bedside lamp on.

When he saw Nina Sinclair come out, he closed the book and looked over at her.

Nina Sinclair immediately froze like a cat with its neck gripped, not daring to move.

Seemingly aware of her reluctance, Julian Lancaster gently said, "Why are you standing there? Come here."

"Oh..."

Nina Sinclair continued nervously, walking over cautiously and lying down beside him.


Suddenly, Julian Lancaster reached out his hand, and she immediately clutched the blanket tightly, holding her breath, feeling very tense.

Unexpectedly, he just turned off the light, then patted her head gently and whispered, "Good night, sleep well."

Goodness, she thought Julian Lancaster was going to do something.

It scared her half to death.

Nina Sinclair gradually relaxed, and as her muscles loosened, sleepiness overcame her, and she slowly drifted off.

...

The next day, after arriving at the office, Nina Sinclair instructed Millie Langley to go register for the Elysian manager competition.

Millie Langley looked at Nina Sinclair in shock and asked, "Director Sinclair, yesterday you didn’t seem interested in participating. Why the change in decision today?"

Such a drastic change overnight was indeed surprising.

Nina Sinclair smiled casually and said, "Because suddenly, I’m interested again, and since there are no constraints, hurry and sign me up."

"Got it!" Millie Langley cheerfully went.

She is Nina Sinclair’s assistant now, and if Nina Sinclair gets promoted, she would naturally benefit from it, so she was very invested.

The registration forms were collected by specialists sent from Zenith Headquarters and then uniformly submitted up the ranks.


Almost half of the Elysian staff signed up.

Rebecca Lowell had just submitted her form and was still with a specialist when she saw Millie Langley approaching, immediately frowning slightly.

Yvonne Crowe was following Rebecca Lowell around, under the guise of accompanying her, but really hoping to try her luck.

And Rebecca Lowell knew this election was announced from above, secretly thinking it was surely meant to let her rise openly to power; otherwise, they wouldn’t make such a big fuss.

A woman dressed in a designer outfit accompanying her asked, "Millie Langley, you don’t also plan to run, do you?"

"Of course not me, it’s Director Sinclair who’s running!"

Upon hearing that Nina Sinclair was entering, Rebecca Lowell snorted coldly, clearly not considering Nina Sinclair a threat.

"She’s entering the election? Has she finished the manuscript restoration? To think she has the leisure to participate, truly laughable!"

Millie Langley ignored Rebecca Lowell and handed over her documents.

She then turned and left.

Chapter 381: Birthday Banquet Invitation

Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Birthday Banquet Invitation

Crestfall, Lancaster Family.

Today the Lancaster Family has guests.

Justin Leighton brought Heidi Leighton to visit Old Master Lancaster and Old Madam Lancaster, and the group is exchanging pleasantries in the living room.

"Elder Lancaster, this is my daughter Heidi." Justin Leighton introduced while giving Heidi a look, softly saying, "Heidi, hurry up and greet them."

"Elder Lancaster, hello, I’ve always heard my father speak of your illustrious achievements, and today I finally get to meet you in person. You’re just as impressive as I imagined."

Heidi Leighton smiled faintly, subtly complimenting Old Master Lancaster, presenting herself gracefully, exuding the air of an elegant socialite.

"I don’t have any presence; I’m just an old man!"

"How could you be old? You seem just like my father, truly modest."

Heidi praised exaggeratedly, while Justin Leighton echoed alongside. Who doesn’t like hearing compliments? Though the words were slightly exaggerated, they brought a broad smile to Old Master Lancaster’s face.

Old Master Lancaster secretly assessed Heidi Leighton, then nodded in satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, Veridia had such a young lady comparable to those in Crestfall. This time, it seems he found the right woman for Julian Lancaster.

Seeing Old Master Lancaster smiling, Justin Leighton realized Heidi had gained his approval, allowing him to feel slightly relieved.

Heidi had been meticulously raised from a young age, paying attention in all aspects, aiming for a high marriage someday. Now marrying into the Lancaster Family was their fortune.

Thinking this, Justin Leighton spoke, "Elder Lancaster, regarding the matter you previously mentioned, I’ve discussed it with Heidi, she has no objections..."


He paused briefly, then continued, "When do you think would be suitable to arrange a meeting for the two children, to cultivate their relationship?"

Although Heidi had already met Julian Lancaster, now they pretend not to have met, allowing Old Master Lancaster to arrange it, making it better.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lancaster pondered for a moment.

Now, Julian Lancaster was determined to stay involved with that woman, even declaring he’d rather give up on the Lancaster Family than divorce.

He must intervene.

Knowing Julian Lancaster’s stubbornness, getting him to attend a meeting was nearly impossible, so he had to exploit other opportunities.

Suddenly, Old Master Lancaster thought of something.

He said, "Next week is Moira’s birthday, why don’t you both come, and I can arrange things then."

Moira is Old Master Lancaster’s affectionate name for Old Madam Lancaster, Moira Kendall. Justin Leighton had already heard about the birthday arrangements and planned to bring a grand gift.

Originally assuming meeting Julian Lancaster would be a casual meal, yet Old Master Lancaster invited them directly!

If they appear at the birthday banquet, with Old Master Lancaster’s favor, wouldn’t it be as good as announcing Heidi’s identity as the future granddaughter-in-law?

Then, as the future in-laws of the Lancaster Family, they’d attract considerable attention, leading to Prosperity!

Chapter 382: I Want to Talk to Her Myself

Chapter 382: Chapter 382: I Want to Talk to Her Myself

After Justin Leighton left, Old Madam Lancaster glanced at Old Master Lancaster and asked, "Are you really planning to form a marriage alliance with the Leighton Family?"

Old Master Lancaster had previously complained about the poor standing of many families in Crestfall, yet now he had quickly settled on the Leighton Family.

Old Master Lancaster snorted lightly, "It’s all because of that troublesome boy Julian, anyway. Since Justin Leighton has business dealings with him, he probably won’t object too much."

Moreover, seeing Heidi Leighton’s well-educated demeanor and perfect beauty, she was the ideal daughter-in-law in his mind.

He was utterly unwilling to accept a woman with no family background as his granddaughter-in-law.

Even though Julian Lancaster had said he would give up the future inheritance of the Lancaster Family, Old Master Lancaster had groomed him for so long, how could he truly give up?

Now, he must intervene in this matter to set things right and find the best noblewoman to be the future matriarch of the Lancaster Family!

Old Madam Lancaster sighed and said, "You’ve never even met Julian’s wife. How do you know she’s not capable? Since she can make Julian love her so much, she must have her exceptional qualities."

She still leaned towards supporting Julian Lancaster, hoping he could be with the one he loved.

Old Master Lancaster snorted stubbornly, "What exceptional qualities! Such a woman’s exceptional quality is just in ensnaring Julian, making him oppose us!"

The things Julian Lancaster said to Old Master Lancaster to avoid divorcing Nina Sinclair had really made him furious, and he still harbored resentment.

"Alright then, since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t say much more."

Old Madam Lancaster was too tired to argue with this obstinate old man. Didn’t she know his bad temper well? It was unlikely she could easily change his mind.

She got up and walked outside.


Seeing that Old Madam Lancaster ignored him, Old Master Lancaster snorted a bit unhappily.

Everything he did was for Julian Lancaster’s own good, as if he would harm him!

Outside in the yard, Old Madam Lancaster started tending to the flowerbeds, with Aunt Ann, who had served her for many years, by her side.

"Aunt Ann, why is he so stubborn? Wouldn’t it be better to let Julian choose someone he likes?"

"Madam, perhaps the Master disciplines deeply because he cares deeply; he just wants what’s best for Young Master Julian." Aunt Ann, having been with Old Madam Lancaster for many years, knew that disagreements between her and Old Master Lancaster were common.

From her understanding of Old Madam Lancaster, she hoped Julian Lancaster would choose the woman he wanted. After all, years ago, the fourth son of the Lancaster Family fell for a woman they didn’t approve of, and both stopped him from pursuing her, leading to a tragic outcome.

Old Madam Lancaster might also fear that Julian Lancaster would overreact and repeat Fourth Lancaster’s mistakes.

"Sigh! No, this matter cannot be left unchecked!"

A calculating gleam appeared in Old Madam Lancaster’s eyes.

Even though acting on her own might make Old Master Lancaster furious, she was never afraid of him, and she couldn’t let Old Master Lancaster ruin Julian Lancaster.

She said, "Aunt Ann, find out the contact informChapter 383: I’m Julian’s Grandmother

Chapter 383: Chapter 383: I’m Julian’s Grandmother

At this moment, Nina Sinclair was in the process of restoring Rebecca Lowell’s manuscript when she unexpectedly received a call from Old Madam Lancaster. Hearing the phone ring, she answered it without much thought.

"Hello, may I ask who’s calling?"

"Nina Sinclair?"

Upon hearing the caller directly address her by name, Nina Sinclair furrowed her brow in confusion, full of doubt about the identity of the person on the other end.

She glanced at the phone; it was an unfamiliar number, and the voice was also unfamiliar.

Nina Sinclair spoke with a hint of caution, "Who are you? Do you need something from me?"

"I am Julian’s grandmother."

Upon hearing Old Madam Lancaster reveal her identity, Nina Sinclair was both startled and apprehensive, left speechless for a while.

Julian Lancaster’s grandmother?

Just how many relatives does he have!

First a sister appeared, followed by his parents, then his aunt, and now his grandmother...

Could there be even more relatives coming up?

She recalled Julian Lancaster once mentioned that his family was large.

Although she didn’t know why Julian Lancaster’s grandmother was looking for her, whether it was similar to Julian’s aunt, she considered Julian’s grandmother an elder and decided to be polite.


Nina Sinclair suppressed her surprise and asked respectfully, "May I ask why you are calling?"

Old Madam Lancaster said, "Julian’s grandfather has fallen ill, and he wishes to see you. Could you spare some time to come by?"

She did not reveal the reason for the birthday banquet to Nina Sinclair, fearing that if Nina knew, she might not dare to come.

Old Madam Lancaster planned to trick her into coming the day before the banquet, so she could see her first before speaking.

When Elder Lancaster had someone investigate Nina Sinclair, Old Madam Lancaster learned about her and knew that Nina was still unaware of Julian Lancaster’s identity. So when Elder Lancaster opposed Nina Sinclair, she held an opposing view.

She believed a girl who did not mind the family’s situation must have good character.

However, everything needed to be discussed after meeting Nina Sinclair.

"Ah? Fallen ill?" Nina Sinclair was surprised and asked, "Does Julian know about this? Has he visited him?"

"Ah! It’s a long story..." Old Madam Lancaster sighed heavily and then started to briefly talk about the argument between the two and their strained relationship.

After hearing this, Nina Sinclair felt that regardless of the reason for their argument, Julian Lancaster should not avoid visiting his gravely ill grandfather.

She comforted her, "Don’t worry, I will try to persuade him."

"No way!" Old Madam Lancaster immediately stopped her. She said, "Julian’s grandfather is as stubborn as Julian. If their misunderstanding is not resolved, knowing I’m contacting you will definitely make him very angry, and if you tell him, his condition might worsen."

If Julian Lancaster found out, her plan to meet Nina Sinclair would be ruined, as Julian would surely protect her and not let her meet him.


Upon hearing this, Nina Sinclair bit her lip lightly.

If that’s the case, she indeed couldn’t tell Julian to prevent his grandfather’s condition from worsening. So, what should she do now?

"So... Miss Sinclair, his grandfather is really not Chapter 384: Don’t Tell Julian Lancaster

Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Don’t Tell Julian Lancaster

Nina Sinclair was always one to respond to a soft approach rather than a hard one. If the other party was a tough nut, she wouldn’t back down, but from the moment she started dealing with Old Madam Lancaster, her attitude had been amiable and kind. By the end, when she requested something of Nina, it was with such a pleading demeanor.

This softened Nina’s heart, making it impossible for her to refuse.

After wrestling with herself for a moment, Nina finally gritted her teeth and said, "Alright then, what’s your home address?"

"Great, come over this Sunday. I’ll send you the address in a moment."

"Okay." Nina nodded.

Even though Old Madam Lancaster specified the time for her visit, Nina assumed it was due to hospital visiting regulations and didn’t think much of it.

Before hanging up, Old Madam Lancaster reminded her repeatedly, "Remember, don’t tell Julian."

"Okay, I got it."

After hanging up, Nina felt a bit melancholic.

She could never be tough-faced towards elderly people because back when she was with the Sinclair Family, her grandmother had been very kind to her, saving all the good food for her.

Sadly, after her mother met with an incident, her grandmother fell ill quickly and passed away not long after.

Nina mourned for quite some time before she got over it.

Even then, Byron Sinclair blamed it on her mother, saying that it was her fault their grandmother fell ill. On the day of the funeral, when Nina returned to the Sinclair Family, she was even stopped at the door and not allowed in.

Hazel Lennox had said many unpleasant things to her at the time, telling her to leave the Sinclair Family and never appear before them again.


Thinking of the Sinclair Family and its members, a hint of coldness flashed in Nina’s eyes.

Forget it, they are no longer family. It’s better not to think about Byron Sinclair anymore.

Ding, Nina’s phone suddenly chimed with a message. It was the address from Old Madam Lancaster, and surprisingly it was in Crestfall!

Moreover, a relatively remote area in the suburbs of Crestfall.

Although she had left Crestfall many years ago, Nina hadn’t forgotten the places there. She remembered that area had a large wetland park, and nearby were facilities like a retirement home, villas, a hospital, etc.

Could it be that Julian Lancaster’s grandfather is hospitalized there?

She didn’t ponder much, just opened the calendar app on her phone.

She had set date reminders on the calendar for the days she could visit her mother. Since coming to Veridia recently, it had been a while since she last visited her mother.

Given that she had to go to Crestfall this time, it was a chance to visit her mother.

And her uncle and aunt too...

With these thoughts, she felt that this trip to Crestfall was one she had to make, and she wasn’t afraid if Julian found out, as there were so many excuses.

For the next few consecutive days, Nina was busy restoring Rebecca Lowell’s hand sketches.

She already had a strong design capability, so recreating Rebecca’s sketches wasn’t a difficult task. Conveniently, she finished it within three days.


On the day she went to work, Nina handed over Chapter 385: Manuscript Restored

Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Manuscript Restored

She heard Rebecca Lowell’s questioning tone and immediately said, "Rebecca Lowell, you said before that if the sketches were restored within three days, you wouldn’t pursue it any further. Now the sketches are here, everyone has seen them."

Many people around nodded and said, "Indeed, they are restored."

Someone stared at the sketches, whispering softly.

"Why do I feel that Director Sinclair’s restored sketches are much better than Rebecca Lowell’s? Look at the fluidity of those lines, and the details."

"Yeah, it was so dirty before, it should have been indistinguishable. Maybe Director Sinclair added these herself."

"After all, Director Sinclair is a queen, and from St. Seth’s Royal Academy. It’s not impossible that she’s more capable than Rebecca Lowell."

Although Rebecca Lowell is the future boss’s wife, many people were still fair and just, and upon seeing the restored sketches, couldn’t help but speak up for Nina Sinclair.

Millie Langley raised her chin with pride, naturally, Nina Sinclair was better than Rebecca Lowell!

Rebecca Lowell heard the discussions around her. Did these people think Nina Sinclair was better than her?

Her face immediately darkened, and her hand at her side clenched tightly.

Damn it!

She didn’t expect Nina Sinclair to use this opportunity to let everyone praise her, she must be very proud now, but she wouldn’t be proud for long!

Rebecca Lowell showed a half-smile, "Alright, since you’ve restored the sketches, let’s just forget about it."

After saying this, she turned with the sketches and left.


Watching Rebecca Lowell’s departing figure, Nina Sinclair felt a vague sense of unease.

After all, she had worked with Rebecca for so long at Sinclair Group, and she understood her character. It was unlikely Rebecca would let it go after such a setback, it simply wasn’t her style.

No matter what Rebecca does, she’s not afraid; bring it on!

Beside her, Millie Langley watched Rebecca leave without a word and smiled. She said to Nina Sinclair, "Director Sinclair! I really want to thank you this time. If it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have been able to stay!"

Nina Sinclair snapped back to reality and just smiled gently.

Then, she reached out and patted Millie Langley’s shoulder, "Alright, get back to work. Be more careful in the future."

After Rebecca Lowell returned to her position, she threw the sketches on the table in frustration. This time, Nina Sinclair wasn’t implicated at all and even received praise from others.

It made her so angry!

Rebecca’s eyes revealed a sinister gleam as she looked at the sketches she’d thrown on the table, recalling what she had arranged. Her grim expression eased slightly.

There’s no way she would let Nina Sinclair get off so easily.

Soon, Nina Sinclair would be leaving Zenith in disgrace, just like when she made that mistake at Sinclair Group years ago.

By then, her reputation would be ruined, and she would never be able to set foot in the jewelry design industry again!

Chapter 386: Problems with the Artwork Draft

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Problems with the Artwork Draft

She didn’t know why, but her first thought was that something had happened with Rebecca Lowell.

Millie Langley was so anxious she was about to cry. She quivered as she spoke, "Didn’t we restore the draft for Rebecca Lowell before? Now there’s a problem with that draft!"

"What’s wrong with the draft?"

Nina Sinclair was much calmer than Millie Langley. Perhaps she was somewhat prepared, so she wasn’t as flustered as Millie.

Even though she hadn’t heard what Millie would say next, Nina already had some vague suspicions.

The draft she handled had issues...

Ha, such a situation was truly familiar!

Nina’s face darkened, with memories of the past slowly resurfacing.

When at Sinclair Group, she had experienced such a situation before. It was just that at that time, the manuscript was her own, but it had coincided with a known master’s work. Initially, she thought it was just a coincidence, but that master produced evidence.

Their draft was indeed earlier than hers!

The subsequent events were as such—she was suspended from duties by Byron Sinclair, and her good stepsister replaced her position, eventually becoming a leading figure in Sinclair Group.

Whenever Nina recalled those past events, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of gloom.

But now, she was able to face it calmly.

Perhaps time had healed her wounds, and she cared less about it.


Nina drew back her thoughts and said mockingly, "What’s wrong with that draft? Is it being accused of plagiarism?"

Millie Langley looked at her in surprise after hearing Nina’s words, "Director Sinclair, how did you know?"

She paused for a moment and then continued, "Rebecca Lowell’s draft was suddenly exposed, accused of plagiarizing a master’s work in the industry. Now she’s saying the draft was restored by you, implying you plagiarized it. What should we do? If this is confirmed, we’re doomed!"

In this circle, Millie Langley certainly knew what the worst-case scenario was.

In their line of design work, the worst thing to encounter was this kind of situation.

If not handled properly, it could lead to a complete downfall.

Now it concerned Nina Sinclair’s future. If she couldn’t clear her name, then everything might be over!

Nina smirked coldly inside; such tactics felt so familiar. Didn’t she experience this during her time at the Sinclair Group? Now, again, these tactics were being used against her.

Truly nice!

Fortunately, she had an intuition back then, sensing that Rebecca Lowell would definitely stir up trouble.

However, she should go see what the situation really is first.

Nina said, "Let’s not panic yet, let’s see what’s going on, let’s go."

As soon as the two walked out, they saw Rebecca Lowell coming over with a group, holding a document in her hand. Upon seeing Nina, she laughed and said, "Nina Sinclair, where are you planning to go? Surely not planning to flee from guilt?"


The people behind all chimed in as well, "Exactly! Who would have thought you’d do something like this? Was it intentional? Outwardly helping Rebecca restore the draft while secretly tampering with it!"

Nina’s gaze was cold as she looked at the group before her, only saying indifferently, "Let me see the draft."

"What? You want to destroy the evidence? Even if you destroy the evidence, it’s useless. I heard they’ve already approached the top levels of Zenith. Do you really think you can get away?"

Chapter 387: Tampered as Expected

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Tampered as Expected

Rebecca Lowell continued to laugh and said, "Don’t worry, the demand for compensation from Zenith has been suppressed. As long as you admit your mistake obediently, you might still be able to get through this."

Nina Sinclair wasn’t worried about this matter at all.

She glanced at Rebecca Lowell with a calm expression and said unhurriedly, "Are you worried about Zenith’s asset issues? But you’re not married to President Lancaster yet, so Zenith’s assets are none of your concern."

Upon hearing Nina Sinclair’s words, Rebecca Lowell’s face darkened.

"Nina Sinclair!"

What she meant was that she was meddling in others’ business. She was now President Lancaster’s woman, so how could that count as meddling?

Standing beside Rebecca, Yvonne Crowe quickly stepped forward to console her, "Rebecca, don’t be angry. The tougher Nina Sinclair acts now, the more she’ll regret it later."

Yvonne Crowe had been sticking close to Rebecca Lowell these days to build connections, hoping to climb to a higher position.

She became Rebecca Lowell’s lackey immediately, and her gaze towards Nina Sinclair was filled with disdain and contempt.

Hearing this, Rebecca Lowell’s expression softened. She gave Nina Sinclair a cold glance and snorted, "I will certainly handle this justly. Anyone who tarnishes Zenith’s name won’t get away easily!"

Yvonne Crowe quickly echoed, "Exactly, such troublemakers must be cleared out. Our Elysian brand has just started; we absolutely cannot let her ruin it."

Others in the background nodded in agreement.

For a moment, many people surrounded Rebecca Lowell, all echoing her sentiments.

After all, she was the future boss’s wife, currently in a position of power. Who wouldn’t flatter her?


Seeing Nina Sinclair become the target of criticism, Rebecca Lowell wore a smug smile and said, "Nina Sinclair, if you want to save some face, I need not say more. Just admit what you’ve done yourself!"

Yvonne Crowe was extremely excited. Last time she didn’t succeed and let her restore the drawing, but this time it was different; they could definitely get Nina Sinclair expelled!

At Rebecca Lowell’s side, she chimed in, "Rebecca, there’s already conclusive evidence, why bother saying so much to her? Just let her go."

With Nina Sinclair gone, she would have one less competitor when it came time to compete for the position of Elysian leader.

Rebecca Lowell glanced at Nina Sinclair.

Of course, she didn’t just want to expel Nina Sinclair; she wanted to make sure she couldn’t survive in the industry.

The best method was to make her, as she did back then at Sinclair Group, confess her mistakes aloud.

Back then, Nina Sinclair stood before Byron Sinclair with red-rimmed eyes, gritting her teeth to admit her mistakes, and she looked so downtrodden, like a homeless dog.

Nina Sinclair listened to them repeatedly proclaim conclusive evidence, though she hadn’t seen such evidence herself. Her eyes darkened slightly as she extended her hand towards Rebecca Lowell and said, "Hand it over!"

Rebecca Lowell, with a faint smile on her lips, handed the restored drawing to Nina Sinclair.Chapter 388: Inviting President Lancaster Over

Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Inviting President Lancaster Over

Rebecca Lowell’s demeanor clearly seemed to say, what difference does it make even if Nina Sinclair finds out?

At this moment, Yvonne Crowe impatiently urged, "See, the evidence is right here, Nina Sinclair, do you still want to deny it?"

She straightforwardly said to Rebecca Lowell, "Rebecca, since this kind of person refuses to repent, go tell President Lancaster about this. Let him send someone over to deal with Nina Sinclair, this ungrateful woman."

In fact, Yvonne Crowe also wanted to see if Rebecca Lowell was really so favored in President Lancaster’s eyes.

This way, she would also know how to please Rebecca Lowell in the future.

Rebecca Lowell heard Yvonne Crowe’s words and sensed her little schemes, a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

Although everyone was praising her, there were still some people who didn’t believe she really got close to President Lancaster. No one mentioned it openly, but she was well aware of what they thought behind her back!

In that case, let these people be envious for a moment.

So, Rebecca Lowell said to someone nearby, "Go to President Lancaster and say that Nina Sinclair refuses to cooperate."

"Okay, I’ll go right away."

...

The president’s office.

Marcus Walsh was reporting to Julian Lancaster about Nina Sinclair’s situation. After he finished, he saw Julian Lancaster’s face quickly darken, a chilling aura coming from all directions.

Oh gosh, it was terrifying.


How did Nina Sinclair get involved in this, but seeing Julian Lancaster like this, he felt there might be more to the situation, certainly not as simple as it appeared.

Marcus Walsh said, "President Lancaster, this matter could be big or small, but if not handled well, it might affect Miss Sinclair’s reputation. Do you want me to suppress it?"

Julian Lancaster looked up at Marcus Walsh and asked, "Did you get in touch with the designer who is pursuing charges?"

The issue initially came to light by a well-known designer in the circle, and Marcus Walsh had promptly suppressed the news later.

The designer then contacted Zenith, demanding a huge compensation. This small amount of money wasn’t something Zenith couldn’t afford, but if it was an ordinary business dispute, Marcus Walsh would have handled it on his own.

However, since this matter involved Nina Sinclair, compensating for it would mean admitting that the allegations were true.

Nina Sinclair was the wife of Zenith’s president, she couldn’t suffer such unwarranted accusations, so it was necessary to get Julian Lancaster’s directive.

Marcus Walsh respectfully bowed his head and said, "I’ve contacted her, and she said not a penny less in compensation, otherwise she’ll expose the matter to the media."

Julian Lancaster’s eyes darkened as he recalled discovering Nina Sinclair’s identity as the Sinclair family’s heiress. He had then instructed Marcus Walsh to further investigate her past with the Sinclair Group, detailing every aspect of her entry into Sinclair Group.

Including what had happened at Sinclair Group back then, and that incident.

If he agreed to this, it would undoubtedly be another big blow to Nina Sinclair.

Suddenly, the internal phone in the office rang.

Julian Lancaster picked it up to answer.

Chapter 389: President Lancaster Is Here

Chapter 389: Chapter 389: President Lancaster Is Here

In Elysian’s office, everyone was still in a standoff, waiting for the person who went to fetch someone to return.

Yvonne Crowe became even more smug upon seeing someone leave to bring President Lancaster over.

She sneered bluntly, "Ah, Nina Sinclair, we told you to leave on your own, but you just wouldn’t listen. Now look, with President Lancaster’s people coming over, you’re doomed. There’s no choice in the matter."

After saying this, she added in a low voice, "Who doesn’t know that Rebecca is President Lancaster’s woman? You dare to frame Rebecca? There’s no way President Lancaster would let this go. Just you wait!"

Upon hearing Yvonne’s words, Rebecca Lowell sneered with a curl of her lips.

The feeling of having Nina Sinclair trampled underfoot was just exhilarating!

The other employees in Elysian couldn’t help but mutter among themselves when they heard this.

"Sigh, I didn’t expect Nina Sinclair to do such a thing. Could it be that all her previous fame was also gained through some disreputable means?"

"Who knows? Anyway, she’s probably not a good person."

"If this issue really blows up, we’ll definitely lose face in this circle."

"What’s Nina Sinclair holding out for? She should just leave quietly instead of being so stubborn. Now look, if upper management sends someone over, they’ll definitely think our department is incompetent."

Hearing this, Millie Langley was beside herself with worry.

She hadn’t expected that her crisis of being dismissed had just been resolved, and now such a situation had arisen. She completely did not believe Nina Sinclair would tamper with Rebecca Lowell’s design drafts.

Although they had only worked together for a short time, Millie Langley knew that Nina Sinclair was not someone without morals, and she wouldn’t stoop to such actions. They must have been framed.


What should they do now?

Rebecca Lowell saw Millie Langley’s anxious face and had no idea what to do, which greatly improved her mood.

Nina Sinclair remained quite calm, seemingly putting on a show, though internally, she must have been very anxious.

She was waiting to see Nina Sinclair fall to her knees, crying and begging for mercy!

Yvonne Crowe’s eyes were filled with mockery as she looked at Nina Sinclair, intending to see fear in her. To her surprise, Nina Sinclair was exceedingly composed and did not seem overly panicked, which left her puzzled.

Wasn’t Nina Sinclair supposed to be worried and scared, begging them not to drive her out of Elysian?

What was going on now?

Millie Langley truly admired Nina Sinclair. No matter what happened, she always faced it so calmly. Her previous anxious emotions gradually stabilized under Nina’s composure.

At this moment, the person who went to seek instructions returned, but there was no one accompanying them.

Upon seeing this, many began to whisper among themselves again.

Could it be that the higher-ups don’t intend to handle this matter?

Or is it possible that Rebecca Lowell was actually lying and isn’t that important? Or perhaps she has no connection with President Lancaster at all?

Rebecca Lowell almost couldn’t maintain her composure when she saw the suspicious looks around her.


"I told you to get someone, why did you come back alone?" Rebecca Lowell couldn’t help but ask.

"Uh... Assistant Wei said... to let me come back first," the employee responded somewhat hesitantly.

At this moment, there was a noticeable commotiChapter 390: Don’t Beg for Mercy in Tears

Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Don’t Beg for Mercy in Tears

Rebecca Lowell’s previously somber expression vanished as she walked forward with delight, shyly saying to him, "You’ve come."

The one who came wasn’t President Lancaster, but Marcus Walsh.

After Marcus had finished reporting to Julian Lancaster, people from Elysian had coincidentally come to fetch him, and since Julian was inconveniently unable to appear, he let Marcus handle it.

Yvonne Crowe saw Rebecca Lowell approaching Marcus Walsh and knew this was Julian Lancaster.

She had not seen Julian Lancaster before.

The Zenith president was truly too mysterious; even among Zenith employees, few had met him, but his representative, Walter Wyatt, was more well-known.

Many people flocked forward with eager smiles, warmly greeting, "Hello, President Lancaster."

Facing the enthusiastic crowd, Marcus Walsh adopted Julian Lancaster’s usual high-and-mighty demeanor, nodding slightly.

Even without a warm response, the Elysian employees were all excited.

"President Lancaster! I’m finally fortunate enough to see President Lancaster!"

"Though it’s a bit different from what I imagined, I think President Lancaster is pretty great."

"Didn’t expect Rebecca Lowell to really cozy up to President Lancaster, my gosh! I’m absolutely envious!"

...

Yvonne Crowe saw Rebecca Lowell with someone backing her, jealousy flickering in her eyes; it’s incredibly enviable, and if she had the same luck, that would be amazing.


But no matter, as long as she could please Rebecca Lowell, future opportunities would surely abound.

Thinking this, she glanced at Nina Sinclair, sneering sarcastically, "Did you see? President Lancaster is here. Just see how you’ll keep up that stubborn attitude. You better not cry later and beg for mercy!"

Nina Sinclair’s eyes darkened.

President Lancaster was Rebecca Lowell’s boyfriend, and he might very likely help her.

But she wasn’t wrong regarding this matter; even quitting this job today, she was determined to prove her innocence!

Her gaze grew firm, mentally prepared for anything.

Over there, Rebecca Lowell and her group had finished their greetings and were walking over with Marcus Walsh.

Rebecca Lowell, seeing the envious eyes of Elysian employees around her, felt incredibly proud, exuding an aloof arrogance as if she were the queen atop the pyramid.

Yvonne Crowe also began to abuse her momentary advantage, coming directly before Nina Sinclair and speaking harshly, "Nina Sinclair, now that President Lancaster is here, write a letter of regret immediately, publish it admitting your mistake, and pack up to leave Elysian!"

Marcus Walsh nearly spat blood upon hearing Yvonne Crowe’s words.

Cold sweat broke out on his back.

What was she saying??

If Julian Lancaster knew he dared speak to Nina Sinclair like this, he’d be doomed.


He was here to support Nina Sinclair!

After Yvonne Crowe finished speaking, she looked at Nina Sinclair with pride.

Nina Sinclair just calmly looked at the leaping Yvonne Crowe; she finally got to see a real-life lackey.

She crossed her arms, gave Yvonne Crowe a sidChapter 391: Proving Her Innocence

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Proving Her Innocence

Marcus Walsh’s rebuke of Yvonne Crowe shocked everyone.

They almost wondered if they heard wrong.

Just now, did President Lancaster tell Yvonne Crowe to shut up?

Yvonne was stunned, looking at the composed Marcus Walsh, completely struck like by lightning, unable to utter the mocking words she had planned for Nina Sinclair.

After a moment, she came to her senses and looked at Rebecca Lowell with a questioning gaze.

The look in her eyes seemed to ask Rebecca Lowell, what is going on?

Why is President Lancaster backing Nina Sinclair?

Marcus Walsh didn’t care how others viewed him, he just knew Nina Sinclair shouldn’t be offended.

He respectfully said to Nina, "Miss Sinclair, we will conduct a strict investigation into the major error in this draft. Please rest assured, no good person will be unjustly blamed."

"..." Nina Sinclair was taken aback.

What’s happening?

Unexpectedly, President Lancaster wasn’t supporting Rebecca Lowell. Judging by his words, will he handle things impartially?

However, she quickly understood why. Although Rebecca Lowell is President Lancaster’s girlfriend, he runs such a large company, the Lancaster Group, and obviously wouldn’t ruin his reputation for personal matters.

At this moment, Nina Sinclair’s impression of President Lancaster improved.


Could she use President Lancaster to prove her innocence?

Nina Sinclair squinted her eyes and tentatively asked, "If I have evidence proving my innocence, will you punish the one responsible for this incident?"

She knew Rebecca Lowell orchestrated this and didn’t hope President Lancaster would punish her. As long as he conducts a fair investigation and clears her name, she’d be content and wouldn’t expect too much else.

Marcus Walsh nodded, "Of course! Zenith is not a place where private affiliations cloud judgment."

After these words, Rebecca Lowell’s face turned pale.

She didn’t expect President Lancaster to assist Nina Sinclair, although she wanted to ask him what was going on, she didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of so many people, so she forcibly swallowed her words.

Yvonne Crowe saw that President Lancaster disregarded even Rebecca Lowell’s pride and showed disbelief, "President Lancaster..."

Marcus Walsh ignored them, looking at Nina Sinclair, puzzled, "Miss Sinclair, do you really have evidence to prove your innocence?"
