Chapter 690: I’m the One Who Spoiled Her
The hurried footsteps paused, and a voice sounded from behind him: "Indeed, it’s a habit, but not a spoiled one."
With her back to the door, Lynn Woodward’s previous arrogance turned into terror upon hearing the familiar voice.
She had calculated everything but failed to account for Jasper Sinclair appearing at this critical moment. If there was anyone she dreaded most in the Sinclair Family, it was none other than the son of the eldest branch.
The man, with a stature nearing six foot three, walked directly behind Nora Northwood, sending a glance.
In his eyes, he seemed to say: I’m here to back you up.
Lynn Woodward’s shoulders barely trembled, and she spoke hastily, "Jasper, that’s not what your aunt meant." Her words here felt powerless, and she inhaled sharply in her heart.
"If that’s not what you meant, why bother coming all this way to accuse?"
"I just wanted to confirm with Nora. Since it’s merely a minor scuffle between children, it’s not worth publicizing, which leads to gossip and makes us Sinclair a laughing stock, right?"
Saying this, Rachel Woodward glanced at Nora Northwood with a hint of a plea for help, hoping the latter would assist in resolving the situation.
Nora Northwood is kind, but her kindness does not extend to everyone.
She replied with a cold and unpleasant expression: "According to you, if we consider ourselves the juniors as children, then Miss Woodward, who is a few years older than me, should apologize to me for what she’s done, shouldn’t she?"
Rarely did she speak to the Sinclair elders in an irreverent tone, even Lynn Woodward was momentarily stunned, neither advancing nor retreating.
Seeing no response, Nora continued: "For the sake of the Sinclair-Woodward ties, I’ve given Miss Woodward more than one chance, yet she kept crossing my bottom line repeatedly. The plight of the Woodward Family and her current state is nothing but self-inflicted!"
"Aunt, the driver is waiting downstairs for you. Since you’re concerned about the Woodward Family’s situation, spending half a month there isn’t unreasonable."
Jasper Sinclair’s status within the Sinclair Family is second only to the matriarch. His latter statement clearly meant that Lynn Woodward shouldn’t appear at the Sinclair house in the near future.
How dare Lynn Woodward continue to make trouble?
Immediately, she forced a smile and apologized, "Today’s affairs were reckless of me, as an elder. I’ll go back and learn more about the situation, and I’ll come over with Rachel another day to apologize. This child doesn’t know the weight of her actions, please don’t hold it against her."
After stating her position, Lynn Woodward had no intention of further entanglement.
Once everyone had left, Nora Northwood breathed a sigh of relief and softened, "Yvonne, close the door."
"You chat, I’ll go out and oversee things."
Yvonne Winslow closed the door and, before she walked a few steps, heard grumbling curse words echoing through the corridor.
She sneered, the person couldn’t hold in their venomous demeanor for even a minute upon leaving VK.
Yvonne believed that with the intelligence and ways of the Woodward Family, the decline of their enterprise was only a matter of time.
Lynn Woodward had to be sent back to the Woodward Family from VK.
At this moment, the entire Woodward household was already in chaos.
The servants dared not breathe loudly, their glances furtively searching for any valuable items.
Rachel Woodward and Mrs. Woodward, Yvonne Shepherd, leaned against each other on the sofa, crying without shedding a few real tears, while Mr. Woodward had already broken several tea cups, frustrated by his daughter’s incompetence.
"As James Woodward, how did I raise such a brainless daughter? After Rora left, I’ve told you not less than eight hundred times, don’t be illogically troublesome, you didn’t listen. Now look, you’ve dragged the entire Woodward Family down with you, are you satisfied now?"
