Chapter 474: Accidents Abound
Not far away, Louis Hayes is holding Jasper Sinclair’s private phone, hesitating uncertainly.
The number flashing on the screen has changed from a landline to Raina Sinclair’s name.
Once they were some distance apart, Louis Hayes walked forward and handed over the phone, "Boss, it’s a call from Miss Sinclair."
Who else could deserve the title of Miss Sinclair but Raina Sinclair?
Nora Northwood is very adept at reading people and anticipated that there might be new developments in the Sinclair Family.
"You take it, I’ll go say hello to the representatives of other brands." She pretended to leave.
"Wait for me."
Jasper Sinclair stopped her from leaving; today, she was too eye-catching.
Ensuring she wouldn’t leave, only then did the man answer the call: "Aunt, what’s up?"
Raina Sinclair wouldn’t call for no reason; it must be that something happened in the Sinclair Family.
"Peach Bell accidentally fell down the stairs from the second floor and is currently in a coma. I’m afraid you need to come back once."
Upon hearing the general situation, Jasper Sinclair’s face changed slightly, becoming more unpleasant than before. He asked, "How did she fall down the stairs?"
Nora Northwood listened; although she couldn’t hear the words on the other end, she could tell from his expression that it must be Peach Bell who had fallen down the stairs.
"Which hospital?"
The sweet smile hanging on Nora Northwood’s lips vanished completely at this moment.
Is he leaving?
If Jasper Sinclair leaves early, it will surely cause quite a stir.
Most likely it will hit Weibo’s hot search the next day, titled "Director Sinclair Abandons Wife, Leaves Alone", Nora Northwood had even thought of the headline the media might use.
Perhaps, after today, she would once again become the topic of others’ conversations, just like that wedding half a year ago.
While pondering, the person across had already ended the call.
"Nora..." Jasper Sinclair seemed to want to say something but stopped, a helpless look in his eyes.
"Go ahead." Nora Northwood smacked her lips and could only allow him to leave.
"I’ll try to make it back before the ribbon-cutting."
Jasper Sinclair said this without much confidence; at this moment, he appeared cold and heavy, leaving no clue to his thoughts.
Was it because of the people in the hospital that he felt downcast? Or because he couldn’t attend the ribbon-cutting?
Nora Northwood didn’t want to guess, nor did she have the extra energy.
She offered a few polite words: "Travel safely, I can handle it alone."
"Okay." Jasper Sinclair looked at her, feeling a bit deflated.
This feeling was like having a handful of sand in his palm; if he grasped tightly, it would slowly slip through his fingers, and if he didn’t apply force, it would also gradually fall away.
Ultimately, it was an endless defeat.
Nora Northwood watched as the man’s full Adam’s apple bobbed once, then they each went their separate ways.
After leaving, she adeptly switched her expression back to a smiling face.
Lily Sloan was not far from her and came over to say: "I just saw someone’s silhouette that looked like Christian Quinn but didn’t dare to be sure; be careful and avoid places with few people."
"Tell the security to be extra vigilant, don’t let anyone without an invitation in."
The two of them simultaneously recalled the incident where Christian Quinn smashed a flower shop; when it comes to it, he was quite a freak.
Nora Northwood didn’t really take this matter to heart; she saw Finnian Lawrence and went over to greet him: "Finnian, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come over."
She knew Finnian Lawrence had recently been busy taking over the Lawrence Family’s business, and thought she wouldn’t be able to see him, but unexpectedly, he arrived right on time.
