Mr. Lancaster paused for a mont, puzzled, and asked, "Vincent Lancaster? Is he the grandson of my elder brother? How did he end up in Veridia?"
After Warren Lancaster passed away early, although Yvette Thompson still lived with Vincent Lancaster in the Lancaster Family, she was of little consequence due to having no outstanding achievents, so Mr. Lancaster didn’t imdiately recall her.
Having been traveling abroad for many years, he was unfamiliar with current affairs and unaware of Vincent Lancaster’s attempts to cozy up to Zenith.
Mr. Lancaster even felt sowhat unfamiliar with him.
After all, there are so many descendants in the Lancaster Family; how could he rember them all?
Julian Lancaster curved his lips in a mocking smile. He had just dismissed him from Zenith the day before yesterday, and Vincent ca right away. Of course, he knew what Vincent was there for, to see Mr. Lancaster.
"Isn’t it obvious? He couldn’t make a na for himself in Crestfall, so he’s trying to cling to my brother’s coattails!" A mocking voice ca from the staircase, and several people turned to see Sharon Lancaster coming down from upstairs.
She eagerly joined them, full of gossip, and sat down in front of them, speaking enthusiastically, "Dad, Mom, you wouldn’t believe how disgusting Vincent Lancaster is..."
Sharon then relayed the past events about Vincent Lancaster and Nina Sinclair to Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster.
The story included how he had originally thought he could get close to the Sinclair Family heiress, abandoned Nina Sinclair for so benefits, only to realize later he was deceived and then turned back to find her again, all detailed.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lancaster’s face showed anger, and she exclaid, "It’s too much! I never expected soone like this to disgrace our Lancaster Family!"
Sharon nodded in agreent, "Exactly, not everyone is as outstanding as my brother!"
"Luckily, Nina recognized the true nature of the scoundrel and wasn’t fooled by him, which is why she’s now our daughter-in-law."
"Absolutely right."
Mr. Lancaster noticed Sharon and Mrs. Lancaster chatting and cleared his throat, saying, "Alright, we can discuss these things later. He’s waiting outside now, so let’s let him in first."
"Mom, Dad, I’ll go upstairs first. Rember, no matter what he says, even if he kneels and begs for forgiveness, don’t soften your hearts."
"Don’t worry, we know what to do."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Lancaster looked up at Julian, saying, "Julian, do you want to avoid this situation?"
Julian thought for a mont and finally stood up, heading upstairs with Sharon.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of Vincent, but he simply didn’t want to engage in needless complications, conveniently choosing not to appear at all.
Monts later, Vincent Lancaster and Yvette Thompson were brought in.
"Great Uncle, I heard you’ve returned from your travels, so I specifically ca to greet you. This is my treasured thousand-year-old ginseng; I hope you won’t feel offended by it."
Vincent Lancaster, full of ingratiating deanor, handed over the gift box.
Initially, Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster had no particular opinion on Vincent, but after hearing about his actions earlier, they now viewed him with tinted lenses.
Mr. Lancaster was calm and expressionless, but Mrs. Lancaster clearly showed a stern face, not even glancing directly at Vincent Lancaster and Yvette Thompson.
The two of them couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious inside; why was Mrs. Lancaster angry? Could it be because they didn’t visit imdiately after hearing they had returned?
In any case, they must say so pleasant things and appease them.
Mr. Lancaster had a servant take the gift away, saying, "That’s considerate of you, sit down and have a cup of tea."
Vincent Lancaster heard Mr. Lancaster’s words and felt that perhaps this ti he truly had a chance, so he and Mrs. Lancaster sat down on the sofa.
