<h4>Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Could They Be Old Lovers?</h4>


    Suddenly, Heidi Leighton seemed to think of something, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.


    She nced at Nina Sinir and asked curiously, "By the way, Miss Sinir, your rtionship with the Thatcher Family Head is truly enviable. Could it be that you are old lovers?"


    If they were old lovers, and still in touch now, even able to bring him to treat Old Master Lancaster,


    that indicates their rtionship isn’t that simple.


    Heidi Leighton couldn’t make use of this at the birthday banquet, so now she certainly wanted to remind Old Master Lancaster that Nina Sinir and Joel Thatcher’s rtionship isn’t simple.


    "No, just friends."


    Heidi Leighton had an expression as if she’d seen through her and said, "Miss Sinir, there’s no need to hide it. Having one or two ex-boyfriends isn’t something disgraceful; it’s the 21st century now, even marrying and divorcing isn’t a big deal..."


    Her implication was to suggest that Nina Sinir marrying Julian Lancaster wasn’t a big deal.


    Without waiting for Nina Sinir to speak, Heidi Leighton continued, "However, I didn’t expect Miss Sinir and the Thatcher Family Head to have been boyfriend and girlfriend. No wonder he made an exception to treat the illness. Ordinary people don’t have that kind of ability."


    Heidi Leighton didn’t wait for Nina Sinir’s confirmation and had alreadybeled her and Joel Thatcher as boyfriend and girlfriend.


    As she spoke, she observed Julian Lancaster’s expression.


    Surely no man wouldn’t mind his woman being entangled with another man, especially someone as outstanding as Julian Lancaster, who would definitely want his woman to be entirely devoted, with a clean and pure past.


    Nina Sinir’s eyes turned cold. If she couldn’t see that Heidi Leighton was doing this on purpose, she must be blind.


    She said coldly, "Sorry to disappoint you, Miss Leighton. My rtionship with Joel Thatcher isn’t asplex as you think. Only people with sordid minds see things differently from normal people."


    Heidi Leighton’s face fell. Nina Sinir actually dared to insult her to her face!


    She quickly suppressed her emotions, and then a hurt expression appeared on her face as she said dejectedly, "Miss Sinir, don’t take it to heart. I wasn’t deliberately probing into your past. If you say there’s nothing, then there’s nothing."


    Her words sounded as if Nina Sinir was trying to cover up her past and got angry out of shame.


    Old Master Lancaster heard this and pressed his lips tightly together.


    Indeed, why could Nina Sinir persuade Joel Thatcher?


    Even when he sent people, it was impossible. Could Nina Sinir really be more capable than him?


    Otherwise, it might indeed be as Heidi Leighton suggested, that she really has some ambiguous rtionship with Joel Thatcher!


    Originally, Old Master Lancaster didn’t much like Nina Sinir. Now knowing that she still had such a rtionship with another man, his face turned unpleasant, and the look he gave Nina Sinir was full of scrutiny.


    Just as the atmosphere became exceptionally tense, a voice suddenly rang out at the door.


    "Miss, I am indeed good friends with Nina, but I did not agree to treat Old Master Lancaster because of her."


    Everyone turned their heads at once to look in the direction of the voice.


    At the door, Joel Thatcher stood tall in a white coat, clearly having heard what they were just discussing.


    He began walking in.


    Old Master Lancaster’s expression softened slightly upon seeing Joel Thatcher.


    After all, he would rely on Joel Thatcher for treatment in the future, so naturally, he couldn’t show him an unfriendly face.


    Old Master Lancaster asked, "Family Head Thatcher, you say it wasn’t for Nina Sinir’s sake, so what made you suddenly change your mind?"
