CHAPTER 685: CHAPTER 685: MAKING NINA SINCLAIR DESPISED BY ALL

In the corner, Justin Leighton and Heidi Leighton were also discussing matters concerning Nina Sinclair.

"Heidi, what’s going on with Nina Sinclair? For her to show up in an event like this, she must have received the Lancaster Family’s recognition. Wasn’t it said that Elder Lancaster was very displeased with that woman, Nina Sinclair?"

"How is she still able to appear here now? If the Lancaster Family acknowledges that woman’s identity later, wouldn’t you be completely disgraced by her?"

The fact that Heidi Leighton lost to Nina Sinclair last time was already quite frustrating for Justin Leighton, and now that the situation had finally developed into something he feared most, he could no longer sit back and do nothing!

Heidi Leighton also understood this logic, but Monica Lancaster had just informed her of the Old Master Lancaster’s intentions, so she wasn’t as worried as Justin Leighton.

"Dad, Old Master Lancaster dislikes Nina Sinclair and wouldn’t let her through the door, so you don’t have to worry too much."

"How can I not be worried? You haven’t seen how all the guests’ eyes are on that woman right now. If in a moment Julian stands together with her, where does that leave you?"

Heidi Leighton’s face turned gloomy, and she said, "But the fact that she can still openly appear at the birthday banquet shows that they aren’t entirely rejecting her. If I don’t take action soon, she might seize the position of Mrs. Lancaster from me."

Upon hearing this, Justin Leighton’s expression turned grim.

"Is that woman really so formidable? She actually won over Old Madam Lancaster’s favor."

Heidi recalled her attempt to stir trouble in front of Old Madam Lancaster earlier, but the old madam didn’t show the slightest displeasure, perhaps because she had a good impression of Nina Sinclair and wasn’t swayed by Heidi’s words.

She sighed, "Perhaps. For now, only the Old Master opposes her."

Perhaps soon, even the Old Master would no longer oppose her.

Justin Leighton’s eyes darkened, and he spoke in a deep voice, "The competition between you and Nina Sinclair last time was originally a great opportunity, but you lost to her and are now in a passive position. By appearing in front of everyone today, Nina Sinclair has further lowered your standing."

He paused, his gaze moving past the guests in the hall, landing on Nina Sinclair’s side.

At this time, Nina Sinclair was already making her way toward Old Madam Lancaster, warmly wishing her a happy birthday. The two seemed to exchange a few words, their faces adorned with faint smiles, clearly indicating they had a good relationship.

Justin Leighton continued, "Now that Nina Sinclair has gained favor with Old Madam Lancaster, she still hasn’t caught Elder Lancaster’s eye. For now, Elder Lancaster is still in charge of the Lancaster Family, so we don’t entirely lack opportunities."

"I noticed Elder Lancaster’s expression was very unsightly just now, presumably not wanting to see Nina Sinclair here. We might be able to capitalize on this!"

Heidi Leighton hadn’t noticed Elder Lancaster’s expression, but hearing Justin Leighton say so, it surely must be the case.

"That woman, Nina Sinclair, doesn’t have any family background, does she?" Justin Leighton suddenly asked.

Heidi Leighton nodded in response, saying, "Yes, I had already investigated her thoroughly back then. It’s said she doesn’t have a father, is from a single-parent household, and only has a mother who is hospitalized."

The Leighton father and daughter had been whispering in the corner all along, completely oblivious to the discussions others were having about Nina Sinclair.

Until now, their impression of Nina Sinclair was stuck at what they had learned during their initial investigation.

They had no idea that Nina Sinclair had long returned to the Sinclair Family, and was now the Sinclair Family’s daughter.

Upon hearing this, Justin Leighton scoffed coldly, "She’s just a woman from a single-parent household, yet she dares to try to step over us. If that’s the case, then things just got easier to deal with!"
