The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Proving Sister-in-law Still Loves You

When Liam Sloan saw the red exclamation mark, his eyes went wide. He slowly sank to his knees.

’What?? He was blocked?’

’Impossible! Why?!’

This trick of his had never failed before! Why did his sister-in-law just block his brother?!

Liam Sloan began to grovel with practiced ease. "Bro, I was wrong..."

But on second thought, ’Wait a minute. Why is it that this always works when placating others, but it went wrong when my brother tried it on his sister-in-law? Isn’t this my brother’s fault?’

Liam’s tune changed, and he defiantly stuck his neck out. "I was wrong... but my mistake was only a small part of it. Bro, this is still your fault!"

"You must have treated her badly in the past, that’s why she got angry and blocked you! It has absolutely nothing to do with me, your brilliant advisor!"

After Liam finished speaking, a dead silence fell over the study.

Liam quietly awaited his doom. But after a long moment, Nathaniel suddenly asked in a hoarse voice, "Then what do you think I should do?"

’What should I do...’

Liam was flabbergasted. ’Is this still my brother? My brother is actually asking ’what should I do’?’

But Liam quickly snapped out of it. His eyes darted around as a plan formed, and he immediately stood up, leaning in to whisper a few words in Nathaniel’s ear.

Nathaniel’s brow furrowed slightly, but then he nodded.

Liam said excitedly, "Just do as I say, and it’ll definitely work!"

Zane Grant, watching from the side, was dumbfounded. "?"

’Nathaniel, have you lost your mind? You’re actually going to trust anything Liam says?’

...

After Estelle Lockwood blocked Nathaniel Sloan, a call came in.

She jumped, feeling as if the phone was a hot potato she nearly threw away.

But when she looked closely, she saw it was a call from Iris Sloan.

"Auntie?"

"Yara, in a few days the Sloan Family is holding a banquet for me. Will you come?"

Iris Sloan had returned to the country to pursue her career, and many people were eager to curry favor with her. The Sloan Group was holding this banquet to welcome her back.

Estelle Lockwood didn’t refuse. "Okay, I’ll be there."

Since she was going to a banquet, she needed a gift. After work the next day, Estelle Lockwood went directly to a luxury mall in Crestfall.

"Bro! Look, it’s my sister-in-law!" Inside a VIP lounge, Liam Sloan shouted as if he’d just discovered a new continent.

A glimmer of light finally appeared in Nathaniel Sloan’s otherwise indifferent eyes.

"Bro, I have a way to find out if she still loves you!" Liam suddenly announced, clearing his throat. "And that is... spend money on her!"

’A woman with a personality like Yara Lockwood’s would never be touched just because you paid for something for her,’ Zane Grant thought. ’If anything, she’d probably think you were being nosy.’

Liam understood this point as well. He coughed and continued:

"Paying for things is an intimate act. Based on my understanding of Yara Lockwood, if you weren’t close and suddenly offered to pay for something, she would definitely refuse politely. Even if she did accept, she would find a way to pay you back."

"But partners don’t need to keep such a strict account of money. If she still has feelings for you and trusts you, then if you help her buy a piece of clothing or jewelry, or pay for an order, she won’t refuse. Because in her heart, you’re one of her own."

Nathaniel Sloan’s brow furrowed gently.

"Bro, if you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it to you!"

Liam was desperate to prove his theory’s viability, so he immediately took out his phone and called Estelle Lockwood.

The three men looked down from the lounge and saw Estelle Lockwood take out her phone. "Hello? Mr. Sloan?"

"Ahem." Liam cleared his throat. "Miss Lockwood, where are you right now?"

’When they were married, she didn’t have much money and couldn’t afford luxury goods at all. She was constantly mocked by Noelle Lockwood. Why didn’t Nathaniel Sloan buy her things then? Why didn’t he say something like this to her back then?’

’Henry Kendrick said she got a terrible deal out of this marriage. Anyone else who divorced Nathaniel Sloan would at least get a share of the assets, but she got nothing. She just suffered through an undeserved disaster for nothing.’

’Nathaniel Sloan wants to buy her things? That’s what she should have gotten in the first place!’

’He likes to play the good guy, does he? Fine, let him act! I’d like to see just how long Nathaniel Sloan can keep it up!’

The more Estelle thought about it, the angrier she became. Without a trace of politeness, she said, "Fine. Then I’ll be charging all my purchases today to Mr. Sloan’s account. I hope Mr. Sloan won’t mind me spending his money recklessly!"

With that, she hung up with a sharp CLICK.

The lounge fell silent.

After a long moment, Liam finally reacted, stammering, "B-Bro, I... I was right, wasn’t I? She still has feelings for you!"

’Even though something feels a little off,’ he thought, ’whatever! My theory is flawless!’

Liam grew excited. "This just proves she still has you in her heart! She must still be in love with you!"

Nathaniel felt that Estelle seemed to be angry again, but...

He looked at Liam. "She has me in her heart?"

"Yeah! Look, she rejected me outright and was so polite to me because she doesn’t want to get entangled in any favors or debts with me."

"But she didn’t refuse you, and she’s even willing to spend your money! What does that mean? It means you’re important to her!"

Nathaniel’s Adam’s apple bobbed. "...I see."

Zane Grant: "?"

’Seriously? One of you actually has the gall to say that, and the other actually has the gall to believe it?’

Just then, another man appeared at Estelle Lockwood’s side.
