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

Chapter 578: The Mansion’s Secret

Does anyone really harm their family so severely, even though they are siblings from the same parents?

Nora was shaken to her core, unable to comprehend the actions of the Sinclair Family’s third branch.

"In the face of interests, people are always selfish."

Listening to Jasper, she thought again of Jenson and Lynn Woodward’s deeds. Is there truly no real familial love among the wealthy?

She lowered her eyes and looked at the small dumplings in her bowl, having lost her appetite completely.

Jasper suddenly regretted, thinking he should have told her the truth a bit later.

"Second Uncle will be back in a few days and will be staying at The Sinclair Residence permanently. If you run into him while I’m not around, try to avoid meeting with the people from the second branch."

Nora sensed from his words that the Sinclair second uncle might not be a simple character!

"I understand."

"In case of an emergency, you can turn to Aunt; she’ll help you."

As the year-end approached, The Sinclair Group had a pile of matters waiting for Jasper to handle. Plus, with the work accumulated over the past two months, he might be working around the clock soon.

Having just reconciled, he didn’t want any unforeseen problems to arise, so he gave Nora a heads-up in advance.

Nora expressed that she felt the same way.

VK was just entering the listing phase, and her hardships were no less than Jasper’s.

They decided not to return to the city but to stay there to ring in the new year.

Unbeknownst to Nora, an even bigger surprise was waiting for her...

In the afternoon, she asked the question she had been keeping in her heart: "Where did Peach Bell go?"

"Back to her home."

"Home?"

Nora didn’t understand what this "home" meant. Wasn’t she always by Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair’s side growing up?

"There’s something I haven’t had the chance to tell you. She is Liam Jacobs’ half-sister from the same mother."

"What!"

Hearing this, Nora’s jaw almost dropped in shock.

Is the world really this small?

Jasper cupped her chin in his hand and explained the whole story to her.

"Liam’s father started from scratch, and after he succeeded, he married his mother. Mrs. Jacobs married into what she thought would be a wealthy family, only to find herself living the opposite lifestyle. She started mingling with the Jacobs’ rival family and became pregnant with Peach Bell. The truth couldn’t be hidden, and the Jacobs family couldn’t bear the shame..."

The rest of the story was well-known.

Nora sighed deeply, realizing every family had its own difficult story to tell.

No wonder Liam once resorted to unscrupulous means for a job; he was a pitiable person dragged down by his mother.

When the Jacobs family kicked him out, he was just in college and had to rely on part-time jobs to pay for his tuition every year.

"Jasper, do you think our children will end up like this?"

"No, they won’t."

Jasper answered her with conviction.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because they will have a very kind mother, so kind that she won’t even take the $188,000 given to her by a stranger."

"You!"

Nora detected the teasing in his tone and couldn’t help but clench her fist, wanting to punch him.

"Lucky I made a little money, or else I wouldn’t have been able to find a wife."

As dusk fell, Jasper made a call to Grandma Sinclair.

On the phone, he said, "Grandma, tomorrow is New Year’s Day. Nora and I will come home to have dinner with you."

The old lady, upon hearing this, knew they had reconciled and immediately broke into a broad smile.

It truly was the first piece of good news for the new year.
