CHAPTER 620: CHAPTER 620: OLD GINGER IS SPICIER

After Nina Sinclair went out, she went to the living room.

Ruby Sinclair and Hazel Lennox, the mother and daughter, were sitting there. When they saw Nina, their faces simultaneously turned unpleasant.

They had been humiliated enough by Nina today. Now, no matter how they looked at her, they felt uncomfortable, even wanting her to leave immediately.

"Nina Sinclair, don’t think that just because you spoke well to your father you can move in here!" Hazel Lennox was the first to speak sarcastically.

She assumed that Nina and Byron Sinclair came back to make things clear and then move back to the Sinclair family villa.

Nina knew that being with Hazel never resulted in anything good. She was always like this, making assumptions first, then sneering at her.

"You think I want to move into the Sinclair family?" Nina eyed Hazel.

Seeing Nina’s mocking expression, Hazel felt extremely uncomfortable, always suspecting that Nina was looking down on her.

She snorted coldly, "Isn’t that so? You were the star at the old man’s birthday banquet, and now you want to come back to the Sinclair family."

Nina listened quietly, a slight smile curling her lips.

She said, with a hint of sarcasm, "Did you forget I am already married to Julian Lancaster? I can live with the Lancaster family, is there any need to crowd here with you?"

From earlier at the banquet, when Ruby attempted to flirt with Julian, Nina knew they were interested in him because of his status.

So now she would use that to strike at them, hitting their sore spot.

After finishing her sentence, Nina couldn’t be bothered to say anything more to them. She turned and walked outside, planning to take a stroll in the garden.

She preferred being outside rather than coming back to bicker with these two.

Nina opened the door and left.

Watching Nina’s departing figure, Hazel and Ruby’s faces turned black with anger.

Hazel’s eyes shifted, and she said to Ruby, "Vivian, let’s go to the room."

Ruby noticed Hazel seemed to have something to say, and quickly nodded to get up and join her. Once they were in the room, Ruby impatiently asked, "Mom, why did you want me to come here?"

"Vivian, I placed a bug in your dad’s study last time. Let’s listen in and see what exactly they talked about."

Upon hearing this, Ruby’s face showed a surprised delight, "Mom, I didn’t expect you had such preparations!"

"Of course, experience comes with age."

Hazel was furious when she learned Byron Sinclair secretly went to support Nina. In the end, she came up with this method to monitor Byron’s calls, not expecting it to be useful now.

The two turned on the receiver.

They were shocked to hear such an astounding revelation.

...

Half an hour later, Julian Lancaster came out of the study.

He looked around but didn’t see Nina anywhere. Later, when he went outside to the garden, he found Nina sitting on the swing, desperately swatting at mosquitoes, her figure appearing very frail.

Julian stepped forward and asked, "Nina, why are you here?"

"Hmm? Are you done talking with my dad?" Nina looked up at Julian and asked, "Just now, Ruby and Hazel said some unpleasant things, so I avoided them for a while but got bitten by mosquitoes several times."

Pitifully, Nina raised her hand in front of Julian.

Julian lowered his eyes to see several welts on her hand.

He said with concern, "Let’s go."

Looking at Julian’s expression, Nina sensed something was off. She asked, "What’s the matter with you? My dad didn’t say anything to you, did he? Did something happen?"
