Sharon Lancaster awkwardly smiled and forced herself to say, "I’m here to celebrate the birthday."
Oh no, her brother’s identity is going to be exposed!
Nina Sinclair stared intently at Sharon, her gaze probing and full of scrutiny, as if trying to discern sothing from her face.
Why would Sharon co to celebrate Julian Lancaster’s grandma’s birthday?
If Julian Lancaster is President Lancaster, then everything makes sense, because Sharon is Julian’s sister, and Grandma Lancaster is their grandma, so that’s why Sharon is here!
If she was deceived by Julian Lancaster, then Sharon is the accomplice!
After all, she t Julian Lancaster because of Sharon.
Yet Nina Sinclair still found it hard to believe, would Sharon really deceive her?
Seeing Nina looking at her that way, Sharon felt inexplicably flustered, as if Nina seed really angry.
She took a deep breath and firmly explained, "I just happened to be in Crestfall, so I ca to deliver a gift, you... you don’t need to overthink it..."
Not sure if Nina would believe such a lousy excuse.
Nina Sinclair’s tightly knitted brows slowly softened.
She chose to trust Sharon for now.
Although she had been betrayed by her lotus sister Sierra Sinclair, Sierra and Sharon were not the sa people, and Sharon wouldn’t deceive her.
If Sharon knew what Nina was thinking, she would probably die of sha.
Seeing Nina’s expression ease, Sharon quickly changed the subject, asking, "Nina, didn’t you say you were in Crestfall to visit your mother? Why are you here?"
Nina gently shook her head, "It was Julian’s grandma who asked to co."
Hiss ——
Sharon gasped, almost unable to discern who Nina was referring to as Julian’s grandma.
It should... maybe... hopefully not be her brother!
Just as Nina was about to ask sothing, Old Madam Lancaster approached with a broad smile, "Miss Sinclair, you’re here. Sorry I didn’t tell you to wear a formal dress today, but no worries, I already prepared one for you."
As she finished, she waved to Auntie An, "Auntie An, quickly take Miss Sinclair down to change clothes."
Auntie An responded and stepped forward, "Miss Sinclair, let’s go."
Nina was indeed dressed rather casually today, so she didn’t refuse and simply nodded, following along.
At this point, Old Madam Lancaster looked at Sharon and ordered, "Sharon, you’re familiar with Miss Sinclair, go with her."
"Ah... Oh!" Sharon was in a fluster, intending to inform Julian, but now that Old Madam Lancaster wanted her to accompany Nina, she had no choice but to comply.
Seems like she can only take things as they co!
Watching the backs of Nina and Sharon leaving, Old Madam Lancaster felt Nina was much more composed than she had imagined.
If it were an ordinary girl in such a setting, they would be timid and very reserved, but Nina was poised, which was quite impressive.
Seems like she’s not as bad as the old man said.
...
A mont later, as Nina and Sharon finished dressing, heading towards the villa’s main hall, they suddenly saw a familiar figure in the corridor.
Recognizing the person ahead, Nina’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She exclaid, "Joel, why are you here?"
Suddenly, Nina rembered Joel Thatcher’s reminders to her, could it be that Joel also felt uneasy about her situation and ca to check?
Sharon was still peeking around for Julian, and upon hearing Nina’s intimate address, she imdiately returned to her senses.
Then she noticed the man in front of them, and her eyes grew even more guarded.
The man wore a luxurious white tunic suit, exuding an ethereal aura, making him exceptionally striking, with an extraordinary deanor. Who was this man? Why did Nina seem so familiar with him?
Sharon asked in surprise, "Nina, do you know him?"
Nina nodded, "He’s my good friend since childhood."
Sharon’s expression stiffened instantly, alarm bells ringing in her heart, and she reassessed Joel Thatcher.
Uh-oh! Nina’s true childhood friend has appeared!
