Chapter 395 - 384: Don’t Believe Rumors, Don’t Spread Rumors
Suddenly pushed forward, Nina Sinclair froze, her eyes wide.
Her gaze accidentally met Jasper Shaw’s as he stood by the sofa. Instantly, her face turned deathly pale, and she began to shake uncontrollably.
’Why is this monster here at the Sinclair residence?’
The thought that the lies she had woven would soon be mercilessly popped like bubbles made Nina Sinclair wish she could just faint on the spot.
Behind her, Yvonne White frowned.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Yvonne White didn’t have a good impression of this granddaughter.
The thing she despised most in life was people entering the entertainment industry to become actors.
And yet, Nina Sinclair had gone and done exactly that behind her back.
If Nina Sinclair hadn’t suddenly approached her with a few things to say, she wouldn’t have even bothered with her!
"Why aren’t you speaking!"
Yvonne White was furious.
But Nina Sinclair clenched her jaw, remaining stubbornly silent.
Chloe Sinclair had already pieced things together. "Why’d you stop talking?" she taunted.
With Jasper Shaw present, how would Nina Sinclair dare to speak? She just shook her head, refusing to open her mouth.
Yvonne White was so furious she almost rolled her eyes.
"Useless thing."
She dragged the girl behind her, pointing her index finger at Chloe Sinclair. Her words were sharp. "Quentin Sinclair, you’ve certainly raised a fine daughter!"
Mr. Sinclair said nothing, instead moving to block Chloe Sinclair from her line of sight.
"Did you know? Your precious daughter has gone astray and latched onto a rich man!"
Chloe Sinclair: "!!"
Mr. Sinclair: "???"
Thinking he must have misheard, Mr. Sinclair’s eyes widened. "What did you just say?"
’His daughter had latched onto a rich man?’
Seeing the disbelief in Quentin Sinclair’s eyes, Yvonne White snorted coldly. "I suppose you didn’t know. When Nina Sinclair was in college in Emberfall, she often saw your daughter getting into a Bentley!"
"Just as I’d expect from someone from a backwater town. So classless."
Chloe Sinclair: ?
’A Bentley?’
After a moment’s thought, Chloe Sinclair understood exactly what was going on.
’But she had to hand it to Nina Sinclair—the girl could fabricate anything. To say something so riddled with holes with a straight face was a special talent.’
’More importantly, the old woman had actually believed it.’
Instantly, Chloe Sinclair’s gaze toward the two of them was like she was looking at a pair of idiots.
Jasper Shaw had originally figured this was their family’s private business and it wasn’t his place to get involved, so he was content to just watch the drama unfold from the sidelines.
But as he watched, he discovered he had somehow become the subject of the drama.
’And the old woman actually believed it.’
Seeing everyone fall silent, the old woman assumed her objective was met. A triumphant glint flashed in her eyes. "Don’t believe me? Nina Sinclair has pictures and videos."
"And you, Chloe Sinclair. The Sinclair family is a prominent family, after all. If these photos were to get out, tell me, wouldn’t that be humiliating?"
"To be so shameless, throwing yourself at just anyone."
Jasper Shaw frowned. He walked over, pulled Chloe Sinclair to his side, and laced their fingers together.
Mr. Sinclair couldn’t have stopped him even if he’d wanted to.
"The Bentley you mentioned, ma’am, is parked outside right now."
The old woman froze. She stared at Jasper Shaw, feeling that he looked familiar, but for the life of her, she couldn’t place him.
Before she could open her mouth, she heard Jasper Shaw say, "And another thing. I am the ’rich man’ Nina Sinclair was talking about. However, I need to clarify one point."
"I was the one who seduced Chloe Sinclair. And I’m the one who’s latched onto her."
"I hope that at your advanced age, you know not to believe or spread rumors."
Jasper Shaw spoke with sincere earnestness, but the old woman’s face was a picture of disbelief.
She whipped her head around and demanded viciously, "I’m asking you, is what he said true?"
