Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 534: Only You Understand Me

Nora’s mood sank, engulfed in a cloud of gloom.

Among all the people, she least wanted VK to be involved in the gossip, but she hoped to seize this opportunity to sever the final thread tying her to Jasper Sinclair.

From now on, VK belonged to her alone.

She didn’t want to live under Jasper Sinclair’s shadow, nor did she want people attributing her efforts to the notion of "marrying into wealth."

Call her selfish, or even despicable.

Indeed, it was by leveraging Jasper Sinclair’s ladder that she achieved her current success, but now, she no longer wished to cling to this ladder.

Nora made a call to Jasper Sinclair, hoping he wouldn’t let The Sinclair Group’s PR intervene in the matter.

Predictably, the two ended up in a heated argument over the phone again.

Jasper Sinclair had always had excellent self-restraint, yet it was constantly shattered by Nora time and again.

On the phone, with a hint of threat in his voice, he said, "I quite want to see if VK’s decline, day by day, will make you regret your decision today."

"No need to trouble Director Sinclair," Nora held her breath, trying to remain flawless in her retort. She wished for an amicable breakup and didn’t want to end in a bitter confrontation.

At last, Jasper Sinclair had nothing more to say.

As the call ended, the man’s expression was as cold as a winter’s chill, utterly icy.

At this moment, Louis Hayes found himself in the line of fire. "Director Sinclair, our project progress with the Morgan Family has surpassed seventy percent, and the penalty would be in the tens of millions. If we insist on compensating, the board might have objections."

In the office, silence lingered for a long while.

Jasper Sinclair stared into the void for quite some time, suppressing his emotions as he said, "Your job is to solve problems for me, not bring them. If you can’t handle this position, be ready for transition at any time."

Louis Hayes felt a heavy drop in his heart, cold sweat pouring out of his forehead, cursing his own misfortune.

"Sorry, Director Sinclair, I’ll handle it right away."

"Go ahead."

Jasper Sinclair dispatched him away.

Now that their divorce was an undeniable fact, it was again hyped by netizens and had reached Grandma Sinclair’s ears.

The Sinclair Family wanted to keep it secret, but how could they hide it from such an astute old lady?

Grandma Sinclair was so overwhelmed with anger that her heart disease relapsed, sending her into the ICU for emergency treatment.

Jasper Sinclair learned of this at nine o’clock at night when the patient had just been pushed out from the emergency room by the medical staff.

He put aside what he was doing and headed alone to the hospital.

In the nighttime city, vehicles were few and far between.

The brand new car sped down the highway, the night scene wholly visible in his deep black pupils.

By the time he arrived at the hospital, twenty minutes had passed.

Raina Sinclair was just about to enter the ward when someone suddenly darted out and stopped her.

"Jasper, didn’t I ask you to come tomorrow?"

Jasper Sinclair’s brow furrowed; the issue originated from him, and he couldn’t spend the night at ease.

He explained, "I can’t stop worrying about Grandma, what did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said the elder mustn’t be too emotionally stirred. It should be the news of your and Nora’s divorce that provoked her. This matter was too sudden, why didn’t you give us any hint beforehand?"

"I thought it would be handled well; things have slipped out of control."

"What happened?"

Raina Sinclair furrowed her brows; she knew Nora wasn’t an unreasonable child and wouldn’t easily mention divorce. It must have been something that touched her bottom line, forcing her to resort to this.
