<h4>Chapter 516: Chapter 516: The Family Head Madam’s Resolve</h4>


    Julian Lancaster pulled Nina Sinir to sit on a chair inside.


    Uncle Ming was sent away by Old Madam Lancaster because he tends to let secrets slip too easily.


    The house now only had Aunt An attending, with Nina Sinir and


    Old Madam Lancaster looked at Nina Sinir and said, "Nina, what do you like to eat? Grandma will go to the market and buy it for you now."


    "I’m not picky, anything is fine." Faced with the kind attitude of Old Madam Lancaster, Nina Sinir also behaved gently and kindly.


    Old Madam Lancaster was used to living a life of luxury, having not gone to the market alone for over ten years, and she had never been to the market in this small vige before. At the Lancaster Family, there was always a cook responsible for buying everything, so having this rare chance to go to the market herself, she actually felt a hint of excitement.


    "Aunt An, let’s go, we’ll go to the market together."


    Nina Sinir hesitated for a moment and asked, "Grandma, can I go with you?"


    Actually, it was because Old Master Lancaster’s presence was too imposing. Although Nina Sinir wasn’t too afraid of him, being in the same space with him felt a bit awkward. Seeing Old Madam Lancaster about to go out, she couldn’t help but want to go along.


    Old Madam Lancaster naturally wouldn’t refuse having Nina Sinir apany her, she immediately said, "Of course you can!"


    Nina Sinir said to Julian Lancaster, "Then I’ll go grocery shopping with Grandma."


    Julian Lancaster knew Nina Sinir didn’t get along with Old Master Lancaster and didn’t want her to stay and suffer, so he nodded, "Alright, be careful on the road."


    And so, Nina Sinir and Old Madam Lancaster left together.


    After they left, only Old Master Lancaster and Julian Lancaster remained in the room. Old Master Lancaster could see clearly that Nina Sinir was avoiding him, and he snorted coldly, "So timid, not a bit like someone who could be the family matriarch!"


    Julian Lancaster heard this and curved his lips into a smile, "Grandfather, if Nina were a bit braver, would she have the poise to be the family matriarch?"


    "Of course! As the family matriarch of the Lancaster Family, the primary quality is to be unafraid in the face of..." Old Master Lancaster was eloquently speaking, but suddenly realized he fell into Julian Lancaster’s trap. His face stiffened, and he swallowed back all his words.


    This brat!


    He wanted him to indirectly acknowledge Nina Sinir’s status as family matriarch!


    Julian Lancaster didn’t expose Old Master Lancaster’s embarrassment, he only said softly, "Grandfather, Nina is a good girl, quite capable as well, you should put aside your prejudices against her."


    Upon hearing Julian Lancaster say this, Old Master Lancaster’s eyes filled with disdain, "In my opinion, she’s not that impressive."


    Julian Lancaster’s eyes dimmed slightly, as if he thought of something, and continued, "You’ve let Heidi Leighton enter Zenith, establishing the Nia brand topete against Elysian under Nina Sinir’s management. If Nina wins, could you not obstruct my rtionship with Nina?"


    After saying this, Julian Lancaster looked at Old Master Lancaster with eyes full of hope.


    Though Old Master Lancaster had a strong personality all his life, he was actually someone who yielded to gentleness rather than force. Previously, Julian Lancaster’s strong opposition to his views triggered his rebellious spirit. Now with Julian requesting softly, it was hard for Old Master Lancaster not to soften.


    He didn’t immediately reject the idea.


    After a moment, Old Master Lancaster coldly snorted, "I’ll see whether she’s as impressive as you say!"


    Though he softened his stance, Old Master Lancaster still felt that Heidi Leighton was more formidable.


    Thinking this, Old Master Lancastermanded unceremoniously, "If Heidi wins, you’ll obediently go and have a matchmaking meeting with her!"
