Chapter 570: You Misunderstood
The conversation between the two fell into Elaine’s ears but turned into a different meaning.
You brat! How dare you order my daughter around!
Just as Elaine’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant, Jasper Sinclair spoke up, "Aunt Hutchinson, could there be some misunderstandings about the relationship between Nora and me?"
Elaine smiled faintly, but with restrained indifference.
"This is a matter between you young people, it’s not my place to say much."
Her unspoken implication: there’s no misunderstanding.
Jasper Sinclair’s mind raced; Elaine was closer to the Sinclair Family. Now, her willingness to speak on Nora’s behalf implied they shared a more intimate relationship in some aspect.
Mentor and disciple?
This was Jasper Sinclair’s first thought, yet no matter how much he speculated, he couldn’t have guessed that the two were actually bound by blood as mother and daughter.
He half-squinted, earnestly saying, "I know nothing about relationships, and by coincidence, I’m looking for someone to help guide me. I wonder if Aunt Hutchinson would be willing to lend me a hand?"
"This isn’t the place to talk. Come find me in a few days when you’re free."
"Thank you, Aunt Hutchinson."
The man curled his lips into a smile, thinking: I have one more ally now.
Elaine was full-mindedly trying to figure out the real reason for their divorce, completely oblivious to the fact that she was already being used imperceptibly.
In the center of the banquet hall.
Most people were wondering where the Warren Family’s heir was.
It’s said they’ve already arrived at the scene; some were secretly scanning, and some were moving back and forth.
Everyone wanted to connect with the Warren Family. If they could build a good relationship with this mysterious heir, it would be tantamount to having a trust fund.
The spiral staircase.
The young Miss Winslow changed into another outfit, descending the steps slowly.
Her every move was meticulously designed, exuding an air of laziness yet nobility, radiating an aura that made others hard to resist approaching.
The clatter of high heels was drowned out by the chatter in the venue.
At the moment she was exposed to everyone, their gazes moved uniformly together.
But soon, everyone withdrew their sight.
No one believed the Warren Family’s heir would be a female, and seemingly such a young one at that.
Only Nora Northwood’s face showed a subtle shift.
So it turned out Jasper Sinclair hadn’t lied to her, the person who jokingly chatted with her just now was the young Miss Winslow.
At this moment, Elaine also whispered an explanation in her ear, "Mr. Winslow is child-free, this girl is the daughter of a branch family. The branch fell, and twenty some years ago an accident left her as a baby in swaddling clothes, taken in by Mr. Winslow."
"No wonder she doesn’t resemble Mr. Winslow."
"The young lady had been living abroad, only recently returned to the Warren Family to prepare to inherit the estate."
Nora Northwood’s gaze revealed an intrigued expression, sighing, "She’s truly a winner in life."
"All my assets will be entrusted to you, so there’s no need to envy others. What they have, you’ll have, and what they don’t, you’ll also have."
Nora burst into laughter, her mother was somewhat... audacious, what was going on?
Not far away, the young Miss Winslow had gracefully arrived at Mr. Winslow’s side.
"Dad, Mom, are you really sure you want to announce my identity?"
"Certainly."
Nina Winslow knew she wasn’t their biological child, and in the eyes of outsiders, she seemed to live an enviable life without worry.
However, only she knew, deep down, she lacked confidence.
