Julian Lancaster rubbed his temples.
He didn’t expect Nina Sinclair to seek help from soone else first, her romantic ideal, rather than him. Clearly, in Nina’s heart, that person holds more importance than Julian does.
Julian Lancaster wasn’t in the mood to hear Nina Sinclair plead to another man.
He returned to the sofa and sat down.
At this mont, his phone started ringing. He glanced at the screen; it was a ssage from Sharon Lancaster.
Opening the phone, Sharon’s ssage appeared.
"Bro, I heard Nina got into a fight with Sierra Sinclair and pushed her, causing a miscarriage? Nina is fierce! I didn’t expect she’d strike so hard, but surely it’s because that little white lotus provoked her first, leading Nina to act!"
Sharon unconditionally sided with her good friend, completely unaware of any wrongdoing.
Julian Lancaster frowned slightly, his distinct fingers typing on the phone as he replied, "She didn’t push."
"What! So Nina was falsely accused by Sierra, the little white lotus? No way, I need to settle this! We can’t let anyone be falsely slandered."
Julian Lancaster thought of Nina, who was in the room at this mont, and a sneer appeared on his lips, "Don’t worry about it, she’s already found soone to help."
Sharon: "Soone to help, who could she possibly find? Could it be she reached out to that romantic ideal of hers?"
Julian Lancaster: "Yeah."
On Sharon’s end, she was suddenly speechless; Nina had left her brother, such a big advantage, and went all the way to seek help instead!
Then she recalled that Nina likely didn’t know Julian’s true identity, and her eagerness subsided.
"Bro, what do you plan to do? Are you just going to watch that man get closer to Nina? Everything you’ve done so far would be for nothing? What if Nina gets moved and offers herself up in gratitude!"
Upon hearing Sharon’s words ’offers herself up,’ Julian Lancaster’s face turned sour, and a chill surrounded him.
He had helped Nina Sinclair so much, yet she’d never offered herself up.
Perhaps it’s because the person wasn’t soone Nina held in her heart, so she didn’t offer herself up.
Would the situation be different with soone else?
Julian Lancaster’s mood grew inexplicably frustrated.
At this mont, Nina Sinclair returned from her call, her face visibly relaxed.
She had just asked Ethan Sherman for help in finding a lawyer. If Vincent Lancaster really pursued this matter with Sierra Sinclair, she would have to face this, and she couldn’t manage it alone.
Although she could also ask Sharon Lancaster for help.
But her previous issues had troubled Sharon too many tis, so she felt embarrassed to seek Sharon’s help again. She could only turn to Ethan; after all, he was family, and there was no need to be overly polite.
As Nina Sinclair walked out, she saw Julian Lancaster lounging in the sofa, his gaze lowered, lost in thought, his complexion sowhat unsightly.
Curious, she walked over and sat down next to him.
Julian Lancaster raised his eyes to look at her and asked nonchalantly, "Did you make a rescue call?"
Nina Sinclair hesitated for a mont but then nodded.
"You saw today’s events; Vincent and the others obviously won’t let this go, so I’m planning ahead."
Julian Lancaster’s expression turned cold.
She trusted that romantic ideal’s ability, but not his? Why seek help from afar instead of turning to him?
Julian Lancaster’s gaze darkened as he asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
"What question?" Nina Sinclair looked at him in surprise.
