Nina Sinclair touched her pocket.
She had previously sold a ring, and all the money was spent on a gift for Grandma Lancaster’s birthday party. Her salary for the month hadn’t been paid yet, so she didn’t have much spare cash to afford such an expensive al.
Unable to resist, she picked up her phone and sent a ssage to Joel Thatcher, "Joel, are you trying to kill ? Do you know how much a al here costs? Why would you choose such a pricey place? Are you trying to ss with because I’m paying?"
Joel’s phone vibrated, and he glanced at it.
Upon seeing Nina’s ssage, he curled his lips into a smile and slowly replied, "After all, your husband is paying, so don’t worry about saving his money. Let him show off a bit."
Nina Sinclair: "Nonsense! His money is my money. Isn’t this still paying?"
Joel couldn’t help but feel like he had been fed a mouthful of dog food.
It was truly irritating; he had intended to force Julian Lancaster to reveal his identity, but things kept developing in unexpected directions.
At this mont, Sharon Lancaster keenly noticed that Nina was actually ssaging Joel!
She quickly gave Julian a discreet look, signaling him to pay attention to what was happening between Nina and Joel.
Julian glanced casually at Nina and Joel, his brows slightly furrowing, and he cast a cold gaze upon them.
What kind of secret could Nina and Joel be keeping from him?
Julian nonchalantly served Nina so food, "Nina, eat more."
Nina hurriedly set down her phone, saying, "Alright, stop serving , eat so yourself."
Joel was originally chatting eagerly with Nina, but unexpectedly Julian intervened, and Nina no longer replied to his ssages.
He was so angry his face turned livid, taking a fierce bite of the grilled fish, as if he imagined it to be Julian.
Even though this so-called Emperor’s al was extrely expensive, Nina thought the taste was quite good, making it worth the price.
When it was ti to pay after eating and drinking, Nina reluctantly pulled out her wallet to settle the bill.
Finally, it was the mont of truth!
Joel promptly stepped in to stop Nina, "Nina, you said you’d let your husband treat us to dinner, of course, he should be the one paying. You can’t help."
His eyes provocatively glanced at Julian, saying, "If a man lets a woman pay under such circumstances, he really isn’t much of a man!"
Joel’s actions were clearly understood by Sharon and Julian.
Perhaps Joel knew about the relationship between the Celestial Pavilion and the Lancaster Family, and he was determined to make Julian pay, forcing him to reveal his wealth!
Sharon almost wanted to roll her eyes at Joel.
This head of the Thatcher Family was truly insidious, plotting against her older brother!
Sharon discreetly signaled Julian, but Julian’s face remained expressionless, displaying no embarrassnt that might arise from being exposed. He seed extrely composed and calm, showing no signs of being unable to pay.
Joel observed Julian’s composure, a trace of doubt flickering in his eyes.
Why wasn’t Julian panicking at all?
Did he use the wrong tactic?
Nina took a deep breath, initially thinking Joel was joking when she sent him the ssage. She didn’t expect that he actually wanted Julian to pay!
Julian was just an assistant and chauffeur; how could he have a lot of money?
Plus, she had his salary card already. Did Joel still think they were handling their finances separately, with each paying half?
Perhaps Joel ant well, but he forgot that she’s no longer the Sinclair Family’s daughter!
Now, she’s just an ordinary person who has to carefully manage her expenses!
