CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 288: OPPORTUNITY

He had already given Nina a chance, as long as she voluntarily admitted her mistake, he wouldn’t pursue the matter today.

But Nina seemed uninterested in this opportunity, she still firmly insisted, "Grandfather, Nina is not wrong, Nina hasn’t done anything, I’m truly being wronged!"

It seemed that Nina did not want to admit it.

Old Master White sighed deeply, his tone heavy, "Nina, I’ve given you an opportunity, since that’s the case, you should leave."

Everyone was shocked!

Everyone knew that Old Master White doted on Nina the most, but now he wanted to drive her away in this situation. What does this indicate?

It indicates that in Old Master White’s eyes, Nina is not as important as Seraphina Sinclair.

Even Nina is not as important as Seraphina in his heart, so what significance does Luna White’s family have?

Realizing that they were at the bottom of the food chain, Luna and Reina White exchanged glances and saw a look of despair in each other’s eyes.

Even Nina was being driven away; naturally, they wouldn’t fare any better.

In this situation, even if they begged for forgiveness and admitted mistakes, they would probably be driven out too!

Luna could only pray that Nina would be a bit more sensible and stop confronting the old master, hoping that if she obediently admitted her mistakes, he might be lenient to their family.

Thinking of this, Luna hurriedly stepped forward to confess numerous sins on Nina’s behalf, "Great-grandfather, Nina indeed has made many mistakes, and she often dallies with various men outside. Every time we’ve targeted Seraphina Sinclair, it’s been under her instructions. Great-grandfather, it’s all Nina’s fault, we were just deceived by her. Please forgive us this time, we beg of you."

Reina quickly stepped forward to prove their innocence, "Yes, Great-grandfather, we did not intentionally target Seraphina; it was all Nina’s instructions. Please let us go! We won’t dare again."

Nina knelt on the ground, listening to them betray her, and almost laughed out of anger. She bit her red lips, looking aggrievedly at them, "Little Luna, little Reina, at this point, I don’t understand how I’ve wronged you, yet you treat me this way?"

Seeing both sides about to start arguing, everyone lowered their heads and said nothing, not wanting to partake in this farce.

Old Master White’s patience had been worn thin, and his face darkened as he watched the unapologetic Nina and the White family siblings.

Nina and the others were unaware, continuing to argue back and forth, increasingly irritating everyone.

After some time, the dining hall echoed with Old Master White’s furious roar, "Enough! All of you, get out! You disgraceful things!"

The battle that started inexplicably settled just like that.

Luna and her family were eventually unable to stay, and were chased out that very evening with their belongings packed.

Under Old Master White’s orders, they were not even allowed to use the surname White.

As for Nina, although driven away, Old Master White didn’t say much, her business and properties were not reclaimed, indicating it would take time to bring her down.

Seraphina Sinclair lay on the bed, drinking the unpleasant herbal medicine, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, "How much longer do I have to drink this medicine?"

Camille White’s gaze unconsciously passed over her abdomen, and she said calmly, "If you want to keep this child, you cannot stop."

"It’s already been five months, why hasn’t my lower abdomen continued to grow? Is there something wrong with the child?" Seraphina rubbed her abdomen, wondering why there hadn’t been any changes after another month passed.

"Some people have such constitutions, not showing pregnancy is normal, this way Desmond Fairchild won’t easily notice our deception. But you’re always wearing tight clothes, which isn’t good for the child’s development; prepare yourself for the worst scenario in your heart. This child absolutely cannot have any problems now, otherwise even the highest power won’t be able to save him."

Twice already on the brink of miscarriage, the fate of this child is indeed precarious. Camille feels that keeping him is no easy task, but Seraphina insists and refuses to get rid of this burden.

That day they intentionally staged a surgery at home, ensuring that Desmond Fairchild, who was watching them, could relax.

Seraphina’s depression during that period was merely for show; they easily deceived everyone.

Seraphina tightly pursed her red lips, a slight unease in her heart, feeling that things might not go as smoothly.

"Seraphina, are you awake?" Rosalie Quinn’s voice echoed from outside.

"Come in." Seraphina handed the empty herbal medicine bowl to Camille, signaling him to leave.

Rosalie entered the room, bumping into Camille. As she walked in, a strong herbal smell hit her nose, prompting her to pinch her nose with a quirky expression, "How long are you going to drink this herbal medicine; it smells terrible."

"My body has always been frail, and I had an abortion surgery. Camille says there’s more to drink." Seraphina smiled faintly.

"Ugh, it’s all because of that Des..." Rosalie paused, realizing mentioning Desmond Fairchild was inappropriate and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, you’ve been resting at home and might not know the situation outside. Luna and her family have been driven out of the White family, as for Nina, Old Master White has superficially driven her out but hasn’t reclaimed any of her possessions, she probably will come back sooner or later."

"I never thought Luna and her family’s words alone could overthrow Nina, they’re merely appetizers. Nina is much smarter, she’s probably preparing for a big move now, let’s wait and see." Seraphina ate a piece of chocolate to soften the herbal taste in her mouth, her eyes revealing a sense of melancholy.

No matter what she does, Desmond Fairchild will surely help Nina solve it, and now whatever she’s doing to Nina is just a minor inconvenience.

"Let her come if she wants, are we afraid of her? But they’re all cheap tricks that can’t see the light of day, that’s all she can do." Rosalie was extremely disgusted by what Nina had done.

It’s just pretending to be pitiful to make others do this and that for her; only those foolish men fall for it.

"Let’s not talk about unpleasant things. Irene Rowe mentioned your company projects are stable lately, but aren’t you looking for someone to collaborate on a new project? Interested in attending a charity auction?" Rosalie pulled two entry tickets from her bag, winking at Seraphina.

Businesspeople understand that charity auctions seem like auctions, but are excellent opportunities to make connections.

People attending such auctions are usually affluent or influential, and one can expand their network at such events, which can prevent taking unnecessary paths in the future.

Seraphina looked at the event tickets, narrowing her pretty almond eyes, "Who’s the host?"

"Isn’t it written above? The Fairchild Family." Rosalie glanced at her, saying tentatively, "Haven’t you let it go yet? If you don’t want to go, we don’t have to."
