CHAPTER 681: CHAPTER 681: ACKNOWLEDGING NINA SINCLAIR’S IDENTITY

In the banquet hall, Julian Lancaster was weaving through the guests alongside Old Master Lancaster.

Sharon Lancaster rushed over anxiously, intending to talk to Julian about Nina Sinclair. However, Julian was engaged in conversation with a CEO, and with Old Master Lancaster keeping a watchful eye, she dared not say anything and could only worry silently on the side.

Julian had been somewhat distracted earlier. Seeing Sharon arrive, he realized she had news of Nina Sinclair, and he apologized to the CEO.

Then, he took steps toward Sharon.

"How is it? Have you found Nina?"

Sharon replied somewhat frustratedly, "I’ve found her already. She’s upstairs now."

Upon hearing that Nina was upstairs, the tight knot in Julian’s brow finally eased, and the worry in his eyes completely vanished.

He asked, "What is Nina doing upstairs? Why hasn’t she come down yet?"

Sharon quietly glanced at Old Master Lancaster over there, showing a slight apprehension in her expression.

She murmured disapprovingly, "Do you think Nina doesn’t want to come down? It’s Grandpa who won’t let her come down, so she’s hiding upstairs alone. Grandpa is being quite unreasonable; who’s he trying to humiliate here."

Recalling seeing Nina Sinclair so lonely upstairs by herself while they were all happily attending the banquet.

Sharon felt Nina was very pitiable; she sincerely cared for her good friend!

Julian’s face suddenly darkened upon hearing Sharon’s words.

He said nothing more, directly heading upstairs.

Watching Julian go upstairs, Sharon breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed her brother did still like Nina, at least he’s not letting her suffer, making her glad she’d introduced her good friend to him.

At that moment, Old Master Lancaster also noticed Julian heading upstairs, aware perhaps that Julian had learned Nina was upstairs. His face turned displeased.

Julian had left CEO Hong, which he thought was due to something happening.

But now it seemed it was about that woman, Nina Sinclair.

Old Master Lancaster approached Sharon, lowering his voice in dissatisfaction: "What’s going on? Is your brother going upstairs to find that woman, Nina Sinclair?"

Though a bit fearful of Old Master Lancaster, Sharon still stood by her good friend Nina Sinclair, and mustered courage to say, "Well... It’s not nice for Nina to be upstairs all alone!"

"What’s wrong with that!" Old Master Lancaster glared at her.

Julian had already caught everyone’s attention earlier; many had been watching him closely. Now, if he appeared with Nina Sinclair, it would surely spark discussions among everyone.

What would be said if someone asked? Wouldn’t it mean admitting that woman’s identity?

No one yet knows about Nina Sinclair’s relationship with Julian; he plans to keep it hidden, not let Julian publicly associate with her!

Old Master Lancaster was very displeased; although he temporarily accepted Nina, it was merely to have her bear a child, not to let her become part of the family!

He grew more dissatisfied as he thought, snorting coldly, "Having her stay upstairs was originally the best arrangement. Now I’ll see if Julian intends to announce her identity to everyone!"

With that, his face darkened as he walked toward the upstairs area.

Sharon feared there might be some conflict between Julian and Old Master Lancaster, and she quickly followed him.
