Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Acting Separately
Nora Northwood’s reaction was unexpected for Yvonne Winslow, or rather, she hadn’t connected the two at all.
She lowered her head slightly, apologetically saying, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know it’s the auntie. I’ll invite her to the parlor right now."
Hearing Yvonne’s words, Nora felt a pang of sadness.
She could mostly guess what May Lawrence would do.
What moved her was that Yvonne did not disdain her origin and instead apologized.
Nora held her wrist, "No need to apologize, this was my oversight. I’ve caused trouble for everyone, I will resolve it now."
Yvonne felt the warmth from her wrist, a change occurred somewhere in her heart.
Speaking of which, both of them have relatively reserved personalities, even though they work closely in the studio, this was the first time for such physical touch.
Jasper Sinclair interrupted this harmonious scene, "I’ll go stabilize the situation first. The press conference will soon end. You quickly use the remaining time to contact potential business partners."
Nora considered it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Then, both parties took separate actions.
Under Yvonne’s guidance, Jasper Sinclair went all the way to the security room.
Along the way, Yvonne hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to ask?"
"This woman is quite unreasonable; it’s hard to see how she could be Nora’s mother." Yvonne stated the facts as she saw them, with a cool tone.
"I think so too."
Unfortunately...
As they approached the security room, May Lawrence’s shouts could be heard: "Who do you think you are holding me here? You’re just a lackey working for my daughter! Be careful, I’ll call the police and have you detained!"
Coarse and hard to listen to.
Jasper Sinclair’s dark eyes landed on the hunched figure behind the glass window, his gaze mixed with a trace of gloom.
The security guard, seeing someone arrive, looked as if he had been granted amnesty, his eager expression seemed to say: Help me, save me!
However, he respectfully greeted them, "President Sinclair, Miss Winslow."
The person inside the room changed her expression upon seeing Jasper Sinclair, even her undereye drooped, "Jas, President Sinclair, is it you? Where is Nora? I want to see Nora!"
Jasper Sinclair glanced at May Lawrence indifferently, emitting an aura of keeping strangers at bay, his eagle-eyed gloominess made it difficult for anyone to meet his gaze directly.
"You signed the estrangement agreement, and are no longer related to Nora, you shouldn’t be here."
He spoke bluntly, provoking an awkward laugh from May Lawrence.
"President Sinclair, although that’s what the agreement says, I’m still Nora’s biological mother. I came to see her, to check if her life is going well recently."
"Since distancing from you, her life has been going very well."
May Lawrence looked at Jasper Sinclair’s man-eating gaze, constantly feeling he might rush over to discipline her any second.
Thinking again about the debts back home... May steeled herself and continued with Quentin Ford’s instructions: "President Sinclair, I’ve got an urgent matter to discuss with Nora this time. Please let me meet her."
Still not seeing Nora’s figure made her increasingly uncertain.
If not for concerns about rumors at the press conference, Jasper Sinclair wouldn’t have even glanced at her today.
May Lawrence squeezed her eyes tightly, hoping to squeeze out a few tears; in truth, Jasper Sinclair had overestimated her.
"Nora is very busy now. If you’re here to ask for money, don’t bother."
May was internally resentful, this outcome was much as she expected, these two tightwads definitely wouldn’t part with money easily.
