Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 1005: Temporary Stay at the Old Residence

Damien’s delicate face was full of indifference, of course, this was her disguise.

"My biological mother has been dead for many years, I forgot her name when I was very young, the only thing she left me is a photograph."

Professor Bishop’s originally somewhat melancholic expression was momentarily stunned, he had to admit, his heart was pricked by Damien’s words.

"Where is the photograph?" he asked with difficulty, his voice mixed with some hoarseness.

Damien shook her head.

She had been privately making drugs for many years, always acting as a vendor, dealing with underground organizations in Paris, being regarded as a thorn in the side by many who had been harmed by her substances.

That photograph had long been lost during her numerous escapes and moves.

Upon first seeing Professor Bishop, she called out "Dad" purely out of instinctive reaction.

If she were asked to produce conclusive evidence to prove that she and this old man in front of her were related by blood, she truly couldn’t.

Of course, whether there is a blood relation is not important to her at this point.

Having lived alone for so many years, suddenly having an elder feels rather unfamiliar.

Professor Bishop still wanted to get more information from Damien’s mouth.

However, the latter’s disinterested demeanor had "I am unwilling" written all over her face.

After hesitating for a while, Professor Bishop didn’t continue to dwell on it.

He used a as-warm-as-possible tone to remind Damien to have a good rest here.

Before leaving this small room, he took away a strand of hair from the table.

This small action by Professor Bishop was not noticed by Damien.

Thus, their first meeting ended hastily and not very pleasantly.

...

Although Jasper Sinclair didn’t have anyone deliberately monitoring any movements on this side, their conversation was still perfectly reiterated to him.

Jasper didn’t have much emotional fluctuation in response to this.

As long as their words and actions posed no threat to His9, they could do whatever they wanted.

At this moment, he had already seen a message from Nora Northwood.

On the way back to the office, he immediately called back, "Nora, I was busy just now and didn’t see your message. Is there anything urgent?"

At the moment, Jasper’s first reaction was whether the virus in her body had acted up again.

Until he heard Nora’s answer, "Nothing particularly urgent."

Only then did Jasper secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, Nora added, "This morning, Auntie called me, telling me Grandpa has returned home, and asked us to go back to the old residence for dinner tonight."

"Do you want to go back?"

"Let’s go back, okay?"

Nora didn’t have much fluctuation about whether to return or not.

Her original intention was just to ease the relationship between Jasper and Grandpa Sinclair, after all, they were family.

After mutual probing between the two, they ultimately chose to go back.

Nora pressed on, "In three or four days, it’s New Year’s Eve. With just the two of us staying in Crimson Hill Villa, it would be too quiet. It’s better to stay longer at the old residence."

Jasper thought for a while, driving back and forth was indeed a hassle for Nora.

The old residence has a family doctor who can examine her body at any time, and it is a good opportunity to accompany Grandma Sinclair.

Just like that, Jasper agreed.

"I have some work to deal with, I’ll come back to pick you up at three o’clock, make sure to have a proper lunch at home."
