CHAPTER 705: CHAPTER 705: JOINING FORCES AGAINST THE MAIN HOUSEHOLD

This time, Nora Northwood couldn’t help answer the call.

Since marrying into the Sinclair Family two years ago, she had never met Grandpa Sinclair. She had heard that he was always away working on research projects and only came home every few years.

She handed the phone to Jasper Sinclair, who took it.

The man curled his lips and deliberately lowered his voice to call out, "Grandpa."

But Nora felt that he was deliberately showing weakness.

There was some distance between Nora and the phone, so she couldn’t hear what the elderly man on the other end was saying.

All she heard was Jasper Sinclair’s thickly implied response: "I have my own discretion, no need for you to worry, Grandpa."

Nora guessed that his relationship with Grandpa Sinclair was not as harmonious as it appeared on the surface.

When the call ended, it was obvious that Jasper Sinclair’s breathing had become much more rapid.

After a long pause, he asked Nora, "Aren’t you curious about what Grandpa said to me on the phone?"

"I’m curious, but if you don’t want to say it, you don’t have to."

Jasper let out a laugh, one filled with mockery.

He patted the empty seat beside him, indicating for Nora to sit down, and began to talk about the past few years, "Actually, I’ve never been close to Grandpa. My parents left the country because of him; he left for his so-called research career, abandoning the family burdens on Grandma."

"Has he rarely returned over the years either?"

Based on his description, Nora started to imagine what kind of person this elderly man might be.

"Rarely, we see him once every few years, mostly he behaves politely, more like a visiting official than a family elder."

...

From Jasper’s words, Nora learned the purpose of Grandpa Sinclair’s call.

Although the old man couldn’t return home many times a year, he always kept an eye on the affairs of the Sinclair Family.

This time, he just wanted to warn Jasper Sinclair that sharing the "Sinclair" name meant being family, and that he should leave a margin in his actions, not be overly resolute and uncompromising. The underlying message was: don’t implicate your own family.

This referred to people like Lynn Woodward and Jenson Sinclair from the second branch.

As people age, they inevitably cherish those around them, especially when it comes to family.

Grandpa Sinclair was a perfect example of this.

So, Jasper Sinclair began to waver, pondering whether he should make the appropriate changes to his future plans.

Since Grandpa had spoken, he couldn’t eliminate the people from the second branch completely.

Yet the protagonist of his plans was not as understanding.

Jenson Sinclair drove alone to a small villa in Galaxy Heights.

"What wind blew you, second brother, to my place?"

The speaker was a descendant of the third branch and the only granddaughter among the younger generation, Hannah Sinclair.

"It seems you’re quite comfortable hiding out in Galaxy Heights, being a turtle with its head in the sand must feel pretty good."

The villa area in Galaxy Heights was a relatively hidden place, where most residents were either maintained mistresses of wealthy men or people who had caused trouble.

Hannah Sinclair paid no mind to her second brother’s sarcasm, still fiddling with the things in her hands.

Jenson felt a sense of frustration and continued, "Are you really willing to stay here for a lifetime?"

Upon hearing this, the person on the sofa looked up at him briefly before retracting her gaze, speaking lightly, "What else then?"

She avoided the question, clearly indicating she wasn’t content.

"Leave here, join forces with me, and overthrow Jasper Sinclair. You should have a place in the Sinclair Family."

"Your idea is even more ridiculous than my parents’. "

As Hannah Sinclair mentioned her long-estranged parents, a hint of pain flashed across her face.
