At this mont, inside the top floor room of the manor.
Julian Lancaster was sitting at the bar, his handso face hidden in the dim light, exuding a mysterious noble aura.
Goldenleaf Manor is owned by Julian Lancaster. It houses many rare old wines. The banquet hall below is open to the public, but the private domain above belongs to him.
Whenever Julian Lancaster is free, he likes to sit here with friends for a drink or two and relax.
Today, Julian Lancaster happened to be drinking with Louis Quinn.
Louis Quinn was lazily leaning back on the sofa next to him.
He glanced at Julian Lancaster and asked, "You confessed just like that, how did Miss Sinclair react? Did she agree to you?"
Julian Lancaster raised his eyes lightly, "No."
Louis Quinn burst into laughter, sounding gleefully schadenfreude, "It’s hard to imagine, the President of Zenith confesses to a girl, and she would actually refuse."
"If it were any other woman, she might be screaming and jumping into your arms. Seems like Miss Sinclair is indeed not an ordinary woman."
Julian Lancaster took a sip of his drink and squinted slightly.
He knew that there was still Ethan Sherman standing between him and Nina Sinclair. Perhaps that’s why she hesitated.
He’s already determined to give himself another six months to try.
This ti he won’t give up so easily.
Louis Quinn seed to recall sothing and reminded him, "There’s a private party downstairs now. I heard many heiresses from Veridia have arrived. Why don’t you give up on Miss Sinclair and go pick soone else?"
Julian Lancaster replied in a low voice, "Mind your business. If you like, go pick for yourself, but don’t even think about my sister."
Louis Quinn had just been teasing Julian Lancaster.
Now hearing this, he imdiately dared not say a word and behaved.
He quickly changed the subject, "You might not be interested in other won, but your nephew certainly is. He’s downstairs flirting with them."
Even though Vincent Lancaster is set to marry Sierra Sinclair, old habits never die.
He’s here at the manor, hiding this fact from Sierra Sinclair, and mingling with other won. Just as Louis Quinn entered, he saw Vincent Lancaster cuddling a woman, flirting.
He thought there was a need to remind him.
Julian Lancaster didn’t show much of a reaction hearing this.
The Lancasters are many, and not all of them live moral lives. Like Vincent Lancaster, a spoiled heir who daydreams using the Lancaster Family na, is not unheard of.
He didn’t plan to ddle much; luckily Nina Sinclair had left him early.
At this mont, there was a knock at the door, Felix Ford’s voice ca from outside, "President Lancaster, Ethan Sherman wants to see you."
Hearing Ethan Sherman’s na, Julian Lancaster’s eyes slowly narrowed.
"Bring him over."
After speaking, he got up and walked outside, "You stay here and play, I’ll co back later."
Inside the room, Ethan Sherman was teary-eyed approaching Julian Lancaster, "President Lancaster! I have sothing extrely important to tell you, please you have to listen to my explanation!"
Ethan Sherman had flown overnight from Crestfall to Veridia just to make things clear.
Otherwise, he feared he would be done for.
Julian Lancaster sat down calmly, his powerful long legs supporting him, uttering a cold word: "Speak."
Ethan Sherman, looking dejected, began, "Actually, Nina and I..."
Once Ethan Sherman spoke, Julian Lancaster’s face darkened heavily. He had imagined many scenarios in his mind about what Ethan Sherman might say next.
Either begging him to let them be together or asking whether he would abandon Nina Sinclair and give them so resources.
But Julian Lancaster never expected to hear these words...
"Nina and I are cousins!"
