CHAPTER 626: CHAPTER 626: WHY IS THAT LITTLE WRETCH SO HARD TO DEAL WITH

Although their relationship wasn’t great, they hadn’t deleted each other’s contacts. After all, if something happened, they could still get in touch.

Nina Sinclair was a bit curious, not knowing why Ruby Sinclair was calling her. Could it be that after the slap earlier, Ruby was unwilling to let it go and called in the middle of the night to yell at her?

But Ruby didn’t seem like someone who would do such a thing.

Nina hesitated only for a moment before swiping to answer the call, "Hello, what’s up?"

Her voice was cold and didn’t sound very friendly.

"Nina Sinclair, do you want to know what Julian Lancaster told Dad? If you don’t join Sinclair Group, I can tell you."

Ruby’s smug voice came through the phone. She and Hazel Lennox had eavesdropped on the conversation in the study. Although the mother and daughter were shocked by what they heard, they quickly calmed down and decided to use it to blackmail Nina.

Byron Sinclair must have sent Nina away, so she certainly didn’t know about this.

Nina must be very eager to find out.

Upon hearing Ruby’s words, Nina’s expression darkened, "Oh? Something even I don’t know about, and you do? Impressive."

"Hmph! Of course I know. I planted a bug in Dad’s study. So, do you want to hear it or not? You know Dad sent you away because he didn’t want you to know about this."

Nina’s eyes flashed, believing what Ruby said.

This mother and daughter are so concerned with her affairs that they’d do anything, including planting a bug.

"Oh really? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely tell Dad that you planted a bug in his study," Nina replied unperturbed, taking her time to speak.

"You!" Ruby was furious, momentarily lost for words.

"Cut the nonsense, Nina. You probably don’t know about this, right? Anyway, you’ve been away from Sinclair Group for so long. Even if you go back, there’s no place for you. You might as well just quit."

Ruby quickly regained her composure, almost getting pulled into Nina’s pace.

"Oh, if I want to know, I can ask Julian myself. There’s no need to hear it from you," Nina replied with a playful smile.

She never intended to follow Ruby’s lead; Ruby would never be so kind as to tell her, and might even deceive her.

She had been fooled by these tricks plenty of times as a child.

People have to learn from experience - did Ruby really think she was still that gullible?

On the other end of the call, Ruby’s face turned dark at these words, and through gritted teeth, she said, "He won’t tell you. If they wanted you to know, they wouldn’t have sent you away."

"Hmm, thank you for telling me. I’ll investigate it myself."

With that, Nina ended the call without further words to Ruby.

Ruby didn’t expect Nina to hang up on her. She stared at her phone, lost in thought, while Hazel Lennox hurriedly asked, "What happened? What did that little bitch say? Did she agree to leave Sinclair Group?"

Thinking of Nina’s nonchalant tone in the call earlier, Ruby clenched her fists, a look of resentment on her face.

Nina had no intention of agreeing!

She simply couldn’t let go of Sinclair Group and wanted to come back to fight for a position, even though it involved Julian Lancaster.

"Mom, she didn’t agree to my terms."

Hazel’s face turned grim, and she said through gritted teeth, "That little bitch, why is she so difficult to deal with."

Their expressions became exceedingly unpleasant.
