Chapter 286: Sowing Discord
The evening breeze blew, bringing Jasper Sinclair back to his senses.
At this moment, Jenson Sinclair squeezed out from the crowd and leisurely watched him.
In an instant, Jasper figured out what was happening. A chill flashed in his eyes, and even the person in his arms felt the temperature drop.
He looked around, preparing to set the person down.
From the rescue until now, he didn’t even know who he had saved. It was absurd to say the least.
While he was looking around, he met a pair of almond-shaped eyes.
In that moment, Jasper’s breath paused for half a beat, "Nora." He murmured her name.
"Jasper." The person in his arms spoke.
Jasper recognized Rachel Woodward’s voice. Thinking quickly, he strode over to the watching Jenson Sinclair.
"From your branch of the family."
After saying this, he didn’t care whether Jenson would catch, he directly dropped the person.
To endure for another three minutes was already pushing his limit.
Jasper turned away, and under everyone’s gaze, he bypassed the swimming pool to look for Nora Northwood.
Many who were watching the excitement continued to wait for the next installment.
Who would have thought that the couple would just leave without any fuss or argument.
...
Everything that happened tonight was recorded by the media reporters hired at a high price by Rachel Woodward.
Then she selected some scenes that could easily create misunderstandings and bribed a few media accounts to casually post them. It was all about the traffic.
With the ability of contemporary young people to gobble up gossip, within a day all of Stanton City would know about the childhood bond between Jasper Sinclair and her.
In a secluded corner.
Jasper’s demeanor seemed slightly at a loss, "Nora, listen to my explanation."
As soon as Jenson appeared, Nora had realized she had been set up.
Coupled with the week-long cold war before, she calmly said, "No rush, take your time explaining what happened."
Hearing her say that, Jasper noticeably breathed a sigh of relief.
At the moment of eye contact, Jasper’s heart indeed was restless and panicked. He was afraid.
Afraid Nora would turn away, afraid of another misunderstanding, and afraid he couldn’t explain clearly...
Then he explained the servant’s story completely and precisely.
After hearing the complete story, Nora expressed her opinion, "Rachel Woodward and Jenson Sinclair are in cahoots."
"The second branch of the family has always wanted the Woodward daughter to marry me, hoping to achieve a win-win situation. This time, it must be premeditated."
"But what was their purpose in creating today’s drama?" Nora was puzzled.
After all, with everything that happened, neither she nor Jasper were greatly affected, not even a basic argument.
Jasper pondered and realized that Jenson had appeared at the scene later.
He asked, "When it happened, did Jenson come to see you?"
With this, Nora suddenly understood, "He came and said some strange things, probably trying to stir trouble between us."
"If he put these thoughts into his career, he wouldn’t end up with nothing."
After figuring things out, neither stayed long, and they went back to Southwood Court.
At night.
Jasper Sinclair held Nora Northwood closely, greedily inhaling her scent: "Darling, I was really afraid you wouldn’t listen to my explanation today."
"How could I not?"
Nora patted the man’s head. Their posture looked somewhat strange, as if she were petting a beloved puppy.
"Nora, a man’s head shouldn’t be patted."
