The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Nathaniel Is About to Meet Her

Meanwhile, Theodore Lancaster walked into the surveillance room.

A man stood up respectfully. "Sir."

Theodore Lancaster asked with an arrogant look in his eyes, "Has Estelle Lockwood done anything unusual these past few days?"

"No, sir. We’ve been watching her around the clock. Aside from her bedroom, we have a clear view of all of Miss Lockwood’s activities. She usually just reads in the study."

Theodore Lancaster asked cautiously, "What kind of books?"

"Miss Lockwood is probably just bored. She doesn’t seem to have a preference for any genre; she just started with the first row on the first bookshelf."

"If she finds one she likes, she’ll spend a little more time on it. If not, she puts it back and picks up the next one."

With such a methodical, unhurried reading pattern, no one would have guessed that Estelle Lockwood had been putting on an act in the study for days, all for that one book: *Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland*.

Theodore Lancaster watched her on the monitor for a while but saw nothing out of the ordinary, so he turned and left the villa.

Just as he stepped out of the villa, he received a call from Yvonne Lancaster and Old Mr. Lancaster.

"Theodore, this whole affair has gotten out of hand. To go to such lengths for Estelle Lockwood is a waste of your talents. That woman isn’t worth it! It’s improper!" Old Mr. Lancaster’s disapproving voice came through the phone.

Theodore Lancaster’s expression was nonchalant. "What’s improper about it?"

Old Mr. Lancaster frowned. "She’s just a woman, and one who’s had three children at that. How is she possibly worthy of you? You can have any woman you want."

Theodore Lancaster said meaningfully, "But she is Nathaniel Sloan’s only woman."

Old Mr. Lancaster paused. "What are you getting at?"

Theodore Lancaster said nonchalantly, "Everything that belongs to Nathaniel Sloan should be mine. Wouldn’t you agree, Grandfather?"

Old Mr. Lancaster was silent for two seconds. Indeed, this was the very reason he had groomed Theodore Lancaster in the first place.

He hated Miranda Lancaster, and he hated her son, Nathaniel Sloan. His hatred was so profound that even after all these years, he still desperately longed to see Nathaniel stripped of everything he had.

And taking everything from Nathaniel Sloan meant more than just his company, assets, reputation, and status... it also meant his wife and children.

How could Old Mr. Lancaster not know about Nathaniel Sloan’s feelings for Estelle Lockwood?

If Nathaniel Sloan were to learn that Estelle Lockwood had become Theodore’s woman... The idea tempted Old Mr. Lancaster.

"Excellent! You truly are my grandson! Theodore, let’s do it!"

Theodore Lancaster smiled.

He could hardly wait to flaunt his prize in front of Nathaniel Sloan.

’How should I flaunt her? How can I make the whole world believe Estelle Lockwood is dead, while showing her off only to Nathaniel Sloan?’

’First, let the world believe Estelle Lockwood is dead. Then, reveal to Nathaniel Sloan that not only is she alive, but she now belongs to me, Theodore Lancaster.’

’What would Nathaniel Sloan do then? Wouldn’t he go insane? And what would everyone else think?’

’They’d think Nathaniel Sloan had truly lost his mind, driven mad over a woman. How could someone so mentally unstable inherit the Sloan Group? How could he possibly manage Evernight International?’

A sinister glint flashed in Theodore Lancaster’s eyes. ’Those who deserve to die should just stay dead!’

Theodore Lancaster burst out laughing, then quickly composed himself. A vicious look flashed in his eyes as he instructed his assistant.

"I imagine Nathaniel must be in low spirits lately. As his caring younger brother, I should show some concern. How about this: invite him over to the villa for a little get-together. It’ll be a good chance for me to comfort him."

The assistant asked, "To your villa, sir? Which one?"

Theodore Lancaster replied nonchalantly, "North Manor."

...

The Sloan Family’s announcement of "Estelle Lockwood’s accidental death" had already made headlines.
