Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Not Gentlemanly, But Sanctimonious
After Christian was dragged out, the venue was in an uproar.
President Sinclair is married? And the partner is just an ordinary person without any status or background?
Everyone’s mouths dropped wide open, unable to believe it.
But it was just confirmed by President Sinclair himself, so it couldn’t be false.
Nora looked at him helplessly: "Well, it’s out now, everyone knows."
Though her words were reproachful, her tone carried a hint of sweetness.
Jasper took off his coat and wrapped it around her, shielding her from malicious stares, finally feeling satisfied.
The two left the venue intimately and went to a private room on the second floor, whereas the first floor was in chaos.
"Luckily I didn’t say much earlier, or else President Sinclair might have eaten me alive."
"Quite right, that Lockwood was still spreading bad things about Mrs. Sinclair, probably the Lockwood Family is finished now."
"..."
People whispered among themselves.
Yuna Hughes leaned on one side with a glass of wine.
Looking at Vincent Morgan standing aside, she sneered, fool, trying to compete with Jasper.
"Brother, I think you should give up now, what’s not yours will never be yours." Her red lips curled slightly.
At this moment, it wasn’t jealousy but rather mockery directed at Vincent.
She laughed at his self-restraint yet constantly having affairs.
Vincent looked at her sullenly: "You’re behind the VK affair, aren’t you?"
Yuna finished her wine, her lips near his with wine aroma, softly saying: "So what if I am? So what if I’m not?"
"Yuna Hughes!"
She sneered disdainfully at his pretentiousness.
"You know I only fanned the flames a bit, yet instead of finding out the truth and solving her trouble, you’d rather shout nonsense with me. Is this love? Brother, this is just pride messing with you."
Now she understood, previously she was attracted to Vincent’s restraint and gentleman-like grace.
Later she realized, his courtesy was just pretense.
Not much better than herself, who works covertly.
Vincent was choked by her words and said nothing for a while; when he looked up again, Yuna had already walked away.
His face turned ugly, but for a moment resumed his gentlemanly demeanor.
Sitting on the second floor, Nora looked at the documents Jasper brought, frowning slightly.
Unexpectedly, the matter was related to Christian; her face turned grim, speechless for a while.
"What does Nora think?" He raised an eyebrow, looking over. His face showed nothing, yet inside he was terribly anxious, fearing that Nora might choose to shield Christian.
After a moment, Nora took a deep breath, composed her emotions, and spoke.
"Since he did it, he must take responsibility. I definitely pursue it, let him compensate as needed," Jasper let out a sudden breath of relief, followed by her saying, "These girls are no different. Trouble arises, and they always claim they are minors to get away."
Upon her finishing, Jasper understood her intentions.
"You don’t need to worry about this; I’ve already found someone to resolve it, and you’ll definitely be satisfied with the result."
She nodded, leaving the entire matter to Jasper to handle.
Two days later, rumors about the VK Brand were cleared up.
This time, it wasn’t clarified by the brand itself; unexpectedly, it was done by the police.
The published announcement laid out the reasons clearly.
Christian’s jealousy led to false statements online causing public uproar, further instigating those underage girls to create trouble.
