Chapter 198: A Man’s Care

Lillian lifted her eyes toward Sebastian, her face the picture of innocence. “Mr. Whitmore, did I really say something wrong?” she asked softly, her voice laced with a hint of mischief.

Sebastian caught the subtle sparkle in her gaze—the familiar glint that told him this little fox was up to her clever tricks once again. He couldn’t help but smile, a mixture of amusement and affection softening his features. Gently, he ran his fingers through her hair and said, “Whatever you say is right. Even if it’s wrong, it’s still right in my eyes.”

The girl’s eyes gleamed knowingly as she turned to Hans with a triumphant look. “See? Mr. Whitmore says I wasn’t wrong. That means I was right all along.”

Hans clenched his jaw, biting his lip in frustration. His glare was sharp, filled with a deep-seated resentment. Why was it that every time this troublesome girl appeared, his carefully laid plans crumbled like sand slipping through his fingers?

At that moment, Chloe stepped forward, her smile polite yet firm. “Miss, my cousin has been part of the entertainment world for many years, and it’s our family’s support that has helped her get where she is today.”

She paused, her tone measured and confident. “After all, the Sinclair Group is one of Kingston’s oldest and most respected enterprises. Not just anyone can reach such heights. If my cousin said anything earlier that seemed out of line, I hope you won’t take it personally.”

Chloe then extended a hand, pulling a sleek business card from her bag with a graceful flourish. “Think of this as an introduction. In Kingston, we’re bound to cross paths often. My father is Henry Sinclair, head of Sinclair Group. If you ever need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.”

Lillian’s gaze swept over Chloe from head to toe, taking in her polished demeanor and poised confidence. She had to admit, the woman was impressive. No wonder, in her previous life, she had been outmaneuvered by someone like her—so young, yet already so cunning. With time, her schemes would only become more intricate and refined.

“Sinclair Group… Henry?” Lillian’s lips curled into a dazzling, icy smile as she spoke, her tone deceptively innocent. “Isn’t he the man who kept a mistress on the side and drove his own wife to despair, even death?”

Sebastian’s body stiffened, a flicker of shock crossing his face. In that instant, he became certain that this little girl must have some link to the Sinclair family. He made a mental note to look into it further.

Chloe’s complexion instantly paled, and she took a hesitant step backward. “Y-you… what nonsense are you talking about?”

Lillian’s expression softened, as if she were letting the matter drop. “Oh? Maybe I remembered wrong. Forget I said anything.” She then turned to Sebastian, her voice gentle but weary. “Mr. Whitmore, I’m tired. Let’s go back.”

Sebastian nodded quietly, his eyes filled with a tenderness that only she could evoke. “Go change out of the dress first. I’ll wait here.” Hearing her admit she was tired felt like a sharp pang in his chest. What hidden burdens was she carrying inside?
