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

Chapter 535: Back in the Little Dark Room Again

However, Jasper Sinclair, her little nephew whom she watched grow up, had feelings that she also noticed.

At this moment, she couldn’t distinguish who was right or wrong.

"It’s complicated and can’t be explained in a few words. Let’s first go check on Grandma’s condition."

Jasper was anxious to see the old lady in the ward, meanwhile feeling somewhat regretful that he shouldn’t have agreed to Nora Northwood’s request today.

If The Sinclair Group’s public relations department had intervened, the situation wouldn’t have escalated to this extent, at least the old lady would have felt better.

At this point, the old lady had already rested.

Jasper pushed back the agenda for the next two days, prepared to stay by the bedside without leaving an inch.

"Jasper! You’re such a fool!"

The old lady’s emotions flared up as soon as she opened her eyes, startling Raina Sinclair who was peeling fruit. She hurried to mediate, "Mom, you’ve just had surgery, let’s talk it over calmly, don’t get upset again."

With Old Master Sinclair rarely at home, she, as the youngest daughter in the family, should take care of her mother.

"Talk calmly? Was talking calmly ever useful? I asked him to treat Nora well, but instead, he quietly divorced her, and made it widely known!"

Hearing this, a dull pain spread from Jasper’s heart throughout his body, showing on his face.

He interrupted what Grandma Sinclair was about to say, "Grandma, we haven’t really divorced, we just had a minor conflict. Give me some time, I will handle it."

"How could I believe your words? What kind of conflict can lead to divorce!"

Obviously, Grandma Sinclair did not believe him at all, dismissing it as an excuse.

Jasper was so troubled that his head hurt; he couldn’t involve Peach Bell in this.

On one side was a son with an unclear cause of death, and on the other, a granddaughter-in-law she herself had chosen. He didn’t want the old lady to be caught in a dilemma, so he chose to hide the truth.

"Call Nora, I have a few words to say to her!"

This time, Jasper did not object.

He thought that for Grandma’s sake, Nora would at least show him some kindness.

He immediately dialed a familiar number.

As his finger slid across the screen, a faint sense of anticipation rose in his heart.

"Sorry, the number you have called is currently on another call..." He almost forgot, Nora had locked him out in the little black house.

In front of others, his face burned with embarrassment, he couldn’t possibly tell Grandma Sinclair that he had been blocked by his wife, right?

Quick-witted, he found Megan Underwood’s number in his contacts.

VK.

Executive meeting.

Nora, in a satin dress perfectly fitting her figure, highlighted her slender waist and curves like hills in the field.

The folder was held gracefully in front of her abdomen, her eyelashes drooped as her stunning face scanned everyone present with a scrutinizing gaze.

An invisible sense of oppression spread among everyone, and the closest to her, Lily Sloan, felt it the most.

Such a magnificent aura, she had only seen in one person over the past twenty-plus years, the legendary decisive figure in the business world: Jasper Sinclair.

The saying that couples living together become more alike is truly accurate.

The folder landed with a "pop" on the sandalwood table, the noise amplified countless times in the silent room, extremely distinct.

The woman in the main seat, akin to the sea god Poseidon descending upon the continent.
