Chapter 397 - 386: Are You Trying to Drive Me to My Death?
’Jasper Shaw’s father’s girlfriend?’
’Getting married in the spring?’
At that moment, three questions surfaced in everyone’s mind.
’What the hell is this?’
Jasper Shaw was almost thirty. Even if his father was young for his age, he had to be at least fifty.
Nina Sinclair wasn’t even twenty yet...
’Could it be the allure of money?’
"Nina Sinclair, you’re planning to get married?" Yvonne White suddenly snapped. "You’re going to marry the father of your sister’s boyfriend? Don’t you realize the age difference? Can’t you do the math?!"
Yvonne White’s imposing presence made Nina Sinclair shudder.
"I..."
Though Nina Sinclair said nothing, she felt incredibly wronged inside.
Ever since the Sinclair Family froze her bank cards, she couldn’t make ends meet. She resorted to borrowing from loan sharks, and it wasn’t long before debt collectors came hounding her. To save her own skin, she ended up tricking Mrs. Logan into taking out a loan for her.
But even after paying off the loan sharks, she was hardly well-off.
Decades of living as a wealthy heiress had instilled in her a habit of spending money like water.
She had catered to some directors with unsavory tastes in the entertainment industry before finally latching onto Joseph Shaw in a bar.
She had fought tooth and nail for the stable life she had now; to her, age was no longer a concern.
But seeing the look of disgust in Yvonne White’s eyes now sent a pang of pain through her chest.
Nina Sinclair couldn’t help but retort, "So what? We’re getting married next year. Besides, if I don’t rely on him, am I supposed to rely on myself?"
She was blacklisted in the entertainment industry. The only roles she could get were either indecent ones involving nudity or bit parts in small sitcoms. She could work herself to death for a month and still not be able to afford a single nice handbag.
"Then Joseph Shaw and I will be a legally married couple!"
’Then, even when I stand before Chloe Sinclair, my status will be completely different.’
’The Shaw family has so much money... If only they all died...’
Nina Sinclair was startled by her own thought.
Seeing Nina Sinclair’s unrepentant expression, Yvonne White was so furious she could have coughed up blood.
"Hmph. Nina Sinclair, don’t expect me to ever get involved in your life again!"
Provoked by Yvonne White’s look of disdain, Nina Sinclair shot back, "It’s not like you ever cared about me before, have you?"
’When I was in debt to those loan sharks, this old hag barely gave me any money!’
Yvonne White’s chest heaved with rage. Uncle Warren watched from the side, terrified the old woman would collapse at any moment.
"Ma’am, perhaps you should head back now."
’Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll get angry enough to die,’ Uncle Warren thought grimly.
’Forget Yvonne White; even he would probably be half-dead with rage if he had a granddaughter like Nina Sinclair.’
Utterly humiliated, Yvonne White couldn’t bear to stay a moment longer. With a huff, she turned and strode away.
When Nina Sinclair saw the old woman storm off in a rage, panic seized her heart. She knew she had just played her ’grandmother’ card for the last time.
More importantly, she was now all alone in the Sinclair family.
Nina Sinclair’s body trembled slightly—not from anger, but from fear.
In this house where she had lived for eighteen years, she felt a fear unlike any she had ever known.
’All of this used to be mine!’
’So why was she now standing here like an outsider?’
"Do you plan on staying here?"
Suddenly, Mr. Sinclair glanced down at Nina Sinclair, his voice devoid of all emotion.
Nina Sinclair froze. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. She could only stare blankly at him.
Just then, Uncle Warren returned. Mr. Sinclair said, "See her out."
Nina Sinclair wanted nothing more than to flee, but after only a few steps, she heard Mr. Sinclair’s threatening voice. "Nina Sinclair, I’ve told you before. This is the last time."
Nina Sinclair trembled. Her eyes filled with disbelief as she whipped her head around and screamed, "Are you trying to drive me to my death?!"
