Chapter 283: It Seems Sister-in-law Doesn't Really Like Me
Chapter 283: Chapter 283: It Seems Sister-in-law Doesn't Really Like Me
Very soon, a few people sat together for a meal.
During the meal, Nina Sinclair appeared rather reserved. Her father had taught her dining etiquette from a
young age. Although she had been away from the Sinclair Family for many years, she never forgot these habits.
When it was just her and Julian Lancaster, she didn’t pay much attention, but with elders present, she became
much more mindful.
On the other hand, Chloe Langley, compared to Nina, seemed more lively and interesting. She frequently
complimented Mrs. Lancaster and kept asking about their interesting experiences traveling abroad.
Mrs. Lancaster didn’t mind at all and instead spoke with great enthusiasm.
Chloe felt secretly pleased. It seemed like Nina was just a block of wood and not as good at pleasing Mrs.
Lancaster as she was.
Surely, Mrs. Lancaster also realized who was more suitable to be her daughter-in-law!
After the meal, they all sat on the sofa and chatted.
Chloe's eyes shifted with a calculating look.
She found a moment to speak to Nina, "Tomorrow is Sunday, you should have time, right? | want to go to the
gathering organized by Miss Leighton. Would you like to accompany me?"
Mrs. Lancaster remembered Chloe asking for an invitation earlier today. She thought it would be good for Nina to
get sexposure and said with a smile, "Nina, why don’t you go with Chloe and have a look?"
Nina’s smile didn’t change, but her eyes looked coldly at Chloe.
If Chloe hadn't said those words earlier, Nina might have thought her invitation was genuine. But now, after
Chloe's statement, the invitation seemed particularly purposeful.
She smiled and politely declined, "Sorry, | have something important tomorrow and can’t accompany you."
Hearing this, a look of grievance suddenly appeared on Chloe's face.
She whispered sadly, "Are you mad at me? If | said anything bad earlier, please don’t take it to heart. | just came
back from abroad, and maybe people abroad are more direct and don’t beat around the bush. How about |
apologize to you?"
Seeing Chloe's feigned sincerity, Nina couldn’t help but want to slap her. Chloe must know that she wouldn't
dare mention the divorce in front of Julian's parents.
Is that why she’s so reckless, telling her not to take it to heart?
And claiming that people abroad are more straightforward?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt
No matter how straightforward, no one would tell someone to get a divorce on the spot!
If, for the sake of face, she pretended not to mind Chloe, wouldn't that be too stifling?
Chloe certainly held such an attitude.
She thought that Nina wouldn't dare to speak up and could only swallow this anger.
In this brief encounter, she felt that Nina was completely not her match. Chloe felt proud inside and looked at
Nina with contempt and ridicule.
Mrs. Lancaster had been busy in the kitchen earlier and didn’t know what had happened between Nina and
Chloe. Now hearing this, she curiously asked,
"Chloe, what do you mean? What happened between you and Nina earlier? Did you two have a fight?"
Seeing everyone looking her way, Chloe appeared even more aggrieved. She pitifully said, "Maybe I'm not good
at getting along with people. It seems like the sister-in-law doesn’t really like me."
In fact, she intended to create the impression that Nina was being snobby. After all, this was her home, and Nina
knew nothing about Julian’s status, certainly not the mansion of the Lancaster Family.
If Mrs. Lancaster knew Nina didn’t like her, she definitely wouldn't like Nina either.

Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Should She Say Yes
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lancaster didn’t quite believe that Nina Sinclair would say such a thing.
She hurriedly patted Chloe Langley’s hand and said, "How could it be? Nina shouldn't be like that. Perhaps you
misunderstood?"
"But..." Chloe still wanted to say something.
Suddenly, Nina let out a cold laugh.
Her eyes slightly cold, she looked at Chloe and said, "Since you insist that | don’t like you, then perhaps | don’t.
But you got one thing right—you really don’t know how to get along with people. It seems you need to learn a bit
about being a person."
Originally, Chloe thought Nina would hold back from speaking.
Unexpectedly, she directly retorted, and wasn’t that basically saying she didn’t know how to behave?
At this point, Chloe was so angry that her face turned pale.
The thing that infuriated her the most was that she thought Nina’s rejoinder would definitely make Mr. and Mrs.
Lancaster view her as ill-mannered, but unexpectedly, neither reacted.
Mrs. Lancaster, on the contrary, laughed and said, "Chloe, Nina's character is indeed like..."
She initially intended to mention Sharon’s name, but realizing it was inappropriate, she paused and quickly
changed her words, "Indeed like Julian said—straightforward and sincere!"
Chloe was so angry that she clenched her hand tightly but dared not retaliate.
Mrs. Lancaster didn’t notice her abnormality; she smiled and asked, "Chloe, don’t you think so too?"
Upon hearing Mrs. Lancaster's words, Chloe had no choice but to force a smile and say, "Yes..."
In the end, Chloe neither made Mrs. Lancaster dislike Nina nor provoked Nina, instead leaving herself angry with
nowhere to vent.
As the tcfor Nina to leave, she stood up to say goodbye to Mrs. Lancaster, with Julian Lancaster
stepping forward to hold her hand as they left.
Watching their figures disappear from sight, Chloe gritted her teeth in hatred.

The two entered the room, avoiding Old Li.
"Chloe, how did it go? Did Mrs. Lancaster praise you? Surely that woman couldn’t compare to you?"
Upon hearing this, Chloe proudly lifted her chin and huffed, "Of course! She may look decent, but her education
and other aspects aren't much better than mine."
Aunt Li immediately chuckled happily and quickly said, "Then once they divorce, you must seize the
opportunity."
Thinking of Julian Lancaster she met today, Chloe showed a look of admiration.

Back in school, she, being outstanding, always had many boys pursuing her, but she never glanced at them,
aiming to return to Julian’s side.
"Mom, that woman seems determined to cling to Brother Julian!"
Chloe said indignantly, "But it’s okay, I'll take care of her, just wait for my good news."
"Now what | need to do is elevate my worth, so | can match Brother Julian. Nina Sinclair is certainly not worth my
attention!"

Chloe began to fantasize, imagining successfully entering the high society circle, thereby elevating her status.
Aunt Li saw Chloe’s confident look and couldn't stop smiling.
It wasn’t in vain cultivating her; the future of their entire family would depend on this daughter!
