<h4>Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Meeting the Future Father-in-Law</h4>
In a house on the outskirts of Veridia, James Aldridge was being held captive here.
Not only was his freedom restricted, but even his phone was being monitored.
Ever since James Aldridge realized Julian Lancaster was President Lancaster, he had long lost his temper and didn’t dare to resist; he wished he could kill Sierra Sinir, the woman who ruined him.
Only by obeying now could he preserve his own life.
He just didn’t know what Julian Lancaster ultimately wanted him to do.
James Aldridge looked towards Felix Ford next to him, pitifully, "Assistant Ford, I did what you said. Could you say a few good words for me in front of President Lancaster? It was that woman who seduced me, I was just momentarily bewitched."
Felix Ford nced at him coldly and snorted, "You crossed the line. President Lancaster hasn’t cooled down yet; how you perform next will determine your fate."
...
Inside the Zenith Group office.
Sierra Sinir was a bit restless, feeling extremely anxious.
She reached out to touch her abdomen.
The engagement date was drawing closer and closer, yet her stomach wasn’t cooperating, as she still hadn’t be pregnant. She really feared that one day the truth would slip out.
And then there’s James Aldridge...
She had already instructed him to deal with Nina Sinir, but no news hade from James Aldridge, and she had no idea what the situation was.
At that moment, after separating from Yvette Thompson, Vincent Lancaster immediately went to the office to find Sierra Sinir.
Seeing Vincent Lancaster entering with a frown, Sierra Sinir quickly suppressed her thoughts and came to her senses. She stood up, approached him, and gently expressed concern, "Vincent, why do you look so down? Did something happen?"
"Sierra, my mom is urging me to meet my future father-inw sooner. When will you take me to see him? If he’s unavable, we could go to Crestfall as well."
Hearing this, Sierra Sinir was stunned, her body stiffened, and a hint of panic shed in her eyes.
Quickly, she suppressed her emotions.
"Vincent, didn’t I mention? I had a falling-out with Dad, and our rtionship is currently not great. Let’s wait until our engagement; I’ll send him an invitation then, and that will serve as an excuse to reconcile."
She had dyed so many times; this time, the excuse couldn’t be too casual, or it might provoke Vincent Lancaster’s dissatisfaction. If she didn’t have the perfect wording, it might invite suspicion.
So she decided not to defer any longer and simply proposed to invite Byron Sinir to the engagement banquet, finding a way to handle them when the time came.
Hearing Sierra Sinir’s words, Vincent Lancaster’s gloomy expression eased a lot.
Although he was part of the Lancaster Family, his status within it wasn’t significant, or else he wouldn’t have needed to cling to Julian Lancaster’s support.
Now, having Byron Sinir as a father-inw would definitely allow him to soar, perhaps even catch the old man’s eye, surpass Julian Lancaster, and be the future heir of the Lancaster Family.
Vincent Lancaster was already fantasizing about a glorious future.
His tone softened, speaking gently, "You make a good point; hurry and send the invitation."
"Alright, I also want to ease rtions with Dad. Don’t worry," Sierra Sinir said, clinging to Vincent Lancaster’s arm coyly.
Suddenly, Vincent Lancaster asked, "Do you know what’s going on with Nina Sinirtely?"
"Why? Why do you ask?" Sierra Sinir was surprised.
Hearing Vincent Lancaster voluntarily ask about Nina Sinir’s situation, a bad premonition rose in Sierra Sinir’s heart, and she immediately became wary.
"Nina Sinir came by just now; she said she’s married now."
Vincent Lancaster recalled Nina Sinir saying she was already married and mentioned her husband was better than him. Although he didn’t believe her words, his masculine pride was piqued, leaving him a bit unsatisfied.
