Chapter 131: Chapter 131: First Encounter Ends in Defeat
Upon hearing Wendy Bell say this, the man’s expression slightly softened.
He just hadn’t noticed her quietly covering her lower abdomen.
"By the way, I still don’t know your name," she said belatedly.
To her, the man in front of her was still a stranger; she had just realized that she didn’t really know anything.
"Jenson Sinclair." After saying this, he immediately got in the car and sat in the back seat.
Wendy Bell followed closely and sat in the passenger seat, and the car started to leave the vicinity of The Sinclair Group.
Sitting in the back seat, Jenson Sinclair rested his arm on the armrest, continuously observing the woman in front of him.
He wasn’t particularly taken with her, but he had heard she used to be Jasper Sinclair’s secretary, so she must know something.
Jasper Sinclair, this time he was back to completely crush this guy!
...
After a few days of one-sided cold war, the relationship between Jasper Sinclair and Nora Northwood eased somewhat.
Moreover, Jasper had indicated that he originally intended to be frank with her; after much consideration, he just let it go.
"Honey, tomorrow’s the Sinclair family banquet. You must accompany me there; Grandma said if you, the granddaughter-in-law, don’t go back, then I don’t need to either."
Ever since learning his true identity, this guy hadn’t shown any of that aloof demeanor in front of her.
Of course, he still maintained that unapproachable attitude in front of others.
Nora Northwood nodded, feeling somewhat warm at the elderly woman’s importance.
Seeing her agree, the corners of Jasper’s lips lifted, and he instantly felt relieved.
Early the next morning, he had already called a stylist over to the house.
"What’s this, you think I can’t dress myself nicely?" she asked, raising an eyebrow, while starting to search the rack for suitable clothes for today’s event.
"Afraid you’ll tire out; my wife could never look anything but beautiful." Jasper raised his hand to select a cheongsam for her.
The dark green cheongsam edged in black was dignified, elegant, and complemented her skin.
The garment certainly appealed to Nora Northwood.
Afterwards, under the deft hands of the makeup artist, her already pretty face became even more captivating.
The makeup emphasized her charm without the heavy-handed dustiness, and with her excellent figure, she looked enticingly lovable.
If it weren’t for the urgent time, Jasper would have been sure to lovingly dote on her for a while before heading out.
When they arrived at the old house, the second branch was already there.
Jenson Sinclair was sitting on the sofa at that moment, watching the familiar figure entering with a lovely silhouette in his arms.
Immediately, his eyes lit up; he had to admit, his cousin’s wife was indeed dazzlingly beautiful.
Too bad she had no background, merely a trophy wife.
He only glanced once before withdrawing his gaze.
Seeing the two walk into the hall, he hurriedly got up to approach them.
"Long time no see, cousin," Jenson squinted his eyes, revealing a complex expression.
After all those years of being suppressed by Jasper, he kept improving himself abroad.
Finally, there was a chance to return; he wanted Grandma to see that compared to his cousin, he wasn’t lacking at all.
He reached out, intending to shake hands with Jasper.
But the two in front of him simultaneously ignored him and walked past.
Jasper couldn’t be bothered with him; he was merely a defeated dog, nothing worth paying attention to.
While Nora simply didn’t know him; since Jasper was unwilling to engage, she wouldn’t make unnecessary moves either.
Left ignored, Jenson didn’t say anything, shrugged, and returned to the sofa to continue sitting.
Though his eyes held a smile, his heart was boiling with anger.
This guy!
