Chapter 552: Chapter 552

Wayne Yarbrough sneered and said, "You don’t remember? Let me help you recall."

"Back when you joined the Sinclair Group, in order to establish yourself, you wanted to use my abilities to help you. You approached me wanting my help, but I was already married and later refused your request. Have you forgotten about this?"

Hearing Wayne Yarbrough’s words, Nina Sinclair’s face instantly darkened.

Nothing he said was true, his words were so disgusting that Nina Sinclair wanted to slap him.

But she held it in, not wanting to make a scene here. Nina Sinclair crossed her arms, her expression distant and cold, and said, "Wayne Yarbrough, you were driven by lust back then, trying to take advantage of me. Now you’re trying to twist the truth. Doesn’t your conscience hurt? If you dare to spread lies outside, I won’t let you go."

"Spread lies? I have photo evidence of you seducing me back then."

Nina Sinclair rolled her eyes, not believing his so-called evidence. She never did such things, so she had no guilt.

Nina Sinclair couldn’t be bothered to argue with him further; she turned coldly and walked away.

Watching Nina Sinclair’s departing figure, Wayne Yarbrough sneered darkly, displaying a malicious expression.

While Nina Sinclair went to the restroom, Heidi Leighton seized the opportunity to approach Julian Lancaster.

She sat beside Julian Lancaster, with a slight smile on her face, and said, "You shouldn’t mind me joining Zenith, right? It’s all at the behest of Elder Lancaster. I didn’t really want to confront Miss Sinclair, but you know we are rivals, so it’s inevitable we’ll face each other."

Knowing Julian Lancaster’s identity, Heidi Leighton lowered her voice while talking and unconsciously leaned closer to Julian Lancaster.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them appeared exceedingly intimate.

Julian Lancaster’s brows furrowed slightly. He subtly moved back a bit, calmly saying, "I don’t mind, Grandpa is just busying himself for nothing."

What he meant was that Old Master Lancaster’s actions were all for nothing, but Heidi Leighton interpreted it as Julian Lancaster alluding to her, since Old Master Lancaster wasn’t aware of the situation—it was her who insisted on confronting Nina Sinclair.

However, she quickly suppressed her thoughts and returned to her usual expression.

Heidi Leighton’s eyes flickered as she continued to smile, saying, "For people of our stature, forming alliances through marriage is the only correct choice for the future. Nina Sinclair is just for fun; Elder Lancaster will never allow her to enter the family."

Julian Lancaster’s expression was already very impatient.

He couldn’t stand anyone belittling Nina Sinclair, and Heidi Leighton, confident that her family background was better than Nina Sinclair’s, didn’t realize that Nina Sinclair was also a lady from a prestigious family.

Millie Langley and Sunny Hale saw Heidi Leighton chatting with Julian Lancaster while Nina Sinclair was away, and both were somewhat indignant.

"What is Heidi Leighton trying to do?"

"Does she have her eyes on Manager Sinclair’s husband?"

"Probably, right? Aside from his not-so-great family background, Manager Sinclair’s husband is more outstanding than ordinary men in terms of looks and other aspects; it’s normal she’d want to steal him."

"Why is Manager Sinclair taking so long in the restroom? If she doesn’t come back soon, her man might be snatched away."

"Don’t say that, I think Manager Sinclair’s husband isn’t that kind of person."
