<h4>Chapter 550: Chapter 550: The Memories She Hid Deep in Her Heart</h4>


    Nina Sinir confidently led Julian Lancaster over to take a seat.


    Quite a few Elysian staff caught sight of Julian Lancaster and paused their gaze on him, some unable to look away, and a few even whispered among themselves, appraising him, though all with admiration.


    Suddenly, there was quite amotion at the entrance, causing everyone to turn their heads.


    A plump middle-aged man appeared before them all, wearing a suit that only entuated his bloated, overweight frame and oily face. As soon as he came in, his darting eyes scanned everyone there, making people feel ufortable all over with his probing gaze.


    "Who is that guy?"


    "Yeah, we don’t know him at all. He’s probably not an employee of Elysian, right?"


    "Elysian doesn’t have people like that. Maybe he’s from the Elysian side."


    ...


    Among the young crowd, even with ordinary-looking family members, there wasn’t anyone so peculiar, sparking curiosity about who had brought him or which woman had overlooked appearances to see any merit in the man.


    While everyone was curious, Nina Sinir’s face suddenly turned pale.


    This person... Wayne Yarbrough!


    Past memories unexpectedly rushed back to her, causing an obvious change in Nina Sinir’splexion.


    Wayne Yarbrough was a department manager at Sinir Group. When Nina first joined Sinir Group, she had quite a bit of interaction with him. Back then, he had offered Nina a lot of help, making her think he was a good person.


    Unexpectedly, Waer expressed a desire to date her. Nina, surprised at the time, immediately declined his proposal.


    Wayne Yarbrough was a married man.


    Not getting what he wanted, he became angry and told others she was seducing him, trying to use his position to climb the corporatedder at Sinir Group.


    When she joined Sinir Group, she didn’t disclose being the eldest daughter of the Sinir Family, so naturally, people didn’t believe her and ostracized and insulted her.


    Later, Byron Sinir handed the matter over to his stepmother and Ruby Sinir to handle.


    Unwilling to see her prosper, they deliberately dyed the matter. Only after her reputation hit rock bottom did they find Wayne Yarbrough to apologize publicly, iming it was all a misunderstanding.


    In the eyes of others, they assumed Wayne and she had reached some agreement, believing Wayne’s apology was forced, not a misunderstanding.


    This whole incident became a blemish in her life.


    Though a long time had passed, Nina Sinir still felt a lingering disgust, apanied by a visceral repulsion for Wayne Yarbrough.


    She didn’t expect after so many years to see Wayne again, stirring up buried memories in her heart.


    Julian Lancaster, sensitive to the change in Nina Sinir’s emotions, quietly turned his head and asked, "Nina, what’s wrong?"


    "Nothing," Nina Sinir shook her head.


    She didn’t want to reveal that past to Julian Lancaster nor let him know about her shameful history, so she chose to conceal it.


    Julian Lancaster pressed his lips together, aware there must be something wrong, yet refrained from probing further.


    Though Nina Sinir imed nothing was amiss, after seeing that person, her demeanor changed to what it was now, the issue seemingly rted to that man.


    Julian Lancaster subtly nced at Wayne Yarbrough.


    He furrowed his brows, his eyes seeping a hint of coldness, which inexplicably sent a chill down Wayne Yarbrough’s spine.


    As Wayne wanted to examine the situation further, Julian Lancaster had already retracted his gaze, his face returning to an indifferent expression, revealing nothing unusual.
