Chapter 468: The Person Who Shouldn’t Be Mentioned
Peach Bell should have never mentioned the name of the Sinclair Family’s eldest.
"Remove the oranges." Jasper Sinclair ordered sharply.
"Don’t remove them!"
Peach Bell stopped the servant from stepping forward, her frail body blocking the coffee table, determined to fight with someone.
"Butler, escort her back to her room."
These words had to be obeyed.
Immediately, the butler and a maid, one on each side, supported Peach Bell’s armpits and led her upstairs.
Her mouth couldn’t stop, she still shouted, "Sinclair, you can’t treat me like this!"
Grandma Sinclair had already returned to her room, leaving a few younger generations in the living room.
When the living room quieted down again, Jasper Sinclair spoke, "It’s getting late, everyone should rest early."
With his words, the Sinclair Family members stood up one after another.
Rachel Woodward also stood up to say goodbye, presumptuously comforting Jasper Sinclair, "Cousin, don’t take it to heart like with a little girl."
Jasper was already in a gloomy mood, and Rachel’s preaching tone was simply hitting the nail on the head.
He did not give a good face, directly asking the butler to see the guest out.
The night was heavy.
A man and a woman were in the bedroom, facing each other in silence.
After a long time, Nora Northwood looked down at her wristwatch, it was not yet nine o’clock, yet she felt the evening was passing particularly slowly.
Through the window, she could glimpse the deep blue light and shadow.
There was a question she didn’t know if she should ask, hesitating when suddenly the bedroom door was knocked from the outside.
"Sinclair, are you in there?"
It was Peach Bell’s voice, cautious and restrained.
Inside the room, Nora frowned at Jasper Sinclair, her displeasure was already extremely obvious in her eyes.
Jasper felt a headache coming on, thinking, when did this little girl become so thoughtless?
He was about to outright refuse when unexpectedly, the door was pushed open from the outside.
"Sinclair."
Peach Bell entered the room, automatically and consciously ignoring Nora Northwood sitting in the corner.
"What’s the matter?" Jasper asked coldly, his entire aura shouting ’do not approach’.
Peach Bell bowed her head very low, despite admitting wrongdoing, she had a bit of a coquettish tone as she said, "I didn’t mean to throw a tantrum just now, I’m sorry for upsetting you."
"Let it not happen again."
"Then don’t be angry with me, please don’t send me to school again, alright?"
Upon hearing this, Jasper’s eyes narrowed slightly, calculating, the young girl had acted up all night trying to set him up, wasn’t she?
He said, "This matter is non-negotiable; from now on, your food, clothing, and any living expenses will be covered by Aunt and the butler; if you have any issues, just go to them."
Jasper intentionally said these words in front of Nora to show his stance.
Sure enough, after hearing it, Nora’s tense expression eased a little.
As everything seemed to be heading in a positive direction, Peach Bell became unhappy, tears fell as soon as they came, "Sinclair, do you think I’m annoying, is that why you want to send me away and not care?"
The bedroom door wasn’t fully closed, her crying echoed throughout the third floor corridor.
Jasper had a headache, dismissively saying, "This is something you must do."
"I don’t want to do it, I just want to stay by your side, Mr. Sinclair doesn’t want me, Grandpa the butler doesn’t want me, now you don’t want me either?"
She cried heartbreakingly, like an abandoned baby thrown away in a rainy night.
