CHAPTER 602: CHAPTER 602: COULD SHE REALLY HAVE THE NERVE TO COME?

Hazel Lennox took a deep breath, suppressing the anger boiling inside her.

She forced a smile and said, "Back then, when Nina Sinclair had a spat with the family, she ran off on her own, and no one knew where she went. This child is just unruly and certainly not someone who could inherit the Sinclair Family fortune."

Ruby Sinclair also sighed heavily, "Yes, these years I’ve tried contacting my sister many times, but she never wants to come back. I have no idea what to do about it. For Grandpa’s birthday this time, I did call her, but she still wouldn’t come..."

The two instantly depicted Nina Sinclair as unfilial and willful, making everyone present think she was nothing but an unreasonable and spoiled heiress.

Only Leah Sinclair was aware of this mother-daughter duo’s sinister intentions.

Would they ever call Nina Sinclair?

They probably wish more than anything she wouldn’t show up!

When she called Nina, it was clear that Nina was unaware of any of this. Leah had thought about provoking them by announcing Nina’s arrival but figured it was better to wait and see their reactions.

In the end, she decided to stay silent.

Hazel Lennox and Ruby Sinclair noticed Leah suppressing her emotions and smiled faintly.

Trying to use Nina to humiliate them was simply laughable!

Ruby Sinclair and Hazel Lennox sighed in unison, recounting past grievances about Nina.

Like fighting with Ruby for things, making Ruby sleep in a small room, pouting to Byron Sinclair to get into the company and causing major incidents once there.

Under such comparison, the charming and beautiful Ruby Sinclair seemed ethereal, outshining Nina by all standards.

Seeing the situation, which Leah tried to warp, revert in their favor, Hazel Lennox quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

That little witch Nina Sinclair was driven away by them. How could she come back to compete!

Watching Ruby Sinclair and Hazel Lennox regain their haughtiness, a shadow of gloom flashed in Leah Sinclair’s eyes as she turned and left unnoticed.

She decided to ask Nina why she hadn’t arrived yet!

Ruby Sinclair and Hazel Lennox saw Leah leaving, assuming she couldn’t handle the reversal and left in disgrace, which made them even more smug.

...

Meanwhile, outside the Sinclair mansion, a low-profile luxury sedan slowly came to a stop.

Nina Sinclair and Julian Lancaster had arrived in Crestfall two days earlier. This morning, they prepared and set off to the Sinclairs’ for the birthday celebration.

Just as the car reached the gate and Nina was about to get out, she received a call from Leah Sinclair.

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she answered, "Hello."

"Nina Sinclair, where are you? Why aren’t you here yet? Don’t tell me you’re afraid to come!" Leah Sinclair’s voice rang out immediately from the phone.

Due to his proximity, Julian Lancaster also heard her abrupt tone.

He glanced at Nina Sinclair, and she gave him a reassuring look.

In a calm tone, she said, "I’m already at the gate."

"What! You’re at the gate? Wait there, I’ll come out to get you now!"

With that, Leah Sinclair abruptly hung up the phone.

Staring at the disconnected call, Nina Sinclair’s eyes showed a trace of confusion. She didn’t think Leah was the type to be so accommodating, let alone come out to greet her.

Despite feeling something was off, Nina Sinclair decided to see what Leah was up to.

She remained in the car, and soon she saw Leah Sinclair’s figure emerge.

Leah looked around, seemingly searching for Nina’s figure.

Nina Sinclair rolled down the car window and called out, "Auntie."
