This unexpected event was so shocking that no one could have anticipated it.
Rebecca Lowell was publicly crushed and humiliated by Nina Sinclair, her face alternating between green and white, looking so twisted it seed she could hardly contain herself.
At this mont, she was soaking wet, looking utterly like a drowned rat.
Heidi Leighton’s eyes flickered as she took out an umbrella and approached Rebecca Lowell, "Rebecca, the rain is getting heavier, you should take shelter from the rain."
It was then that Rebecca snapped out of her shock.
The scenes of Nina Sinclair being picked up by the luxury car kept replaying in front of her eyes, making it impossible for Rebecca to accept this reality.
She rembered clearly that Nina’s man was just an assistant, how could he possibly have a luxury car to co and pick her up?
Could it be that he used President Lancaster’s car?
Heidi had seen everything unfold earlier when Julian Lancaster appeared, and now she ca forward because she wanted to ask Rebecca what exactly had happened.
Heidi tentatively asked, "Rebecca, why hasn’t President Lancaster arrived? Earlier, Nina and her boyfriend were really the center of attention."
"He...he might need to wait a bit longer."
Hearing this, a hint of coldness flickered in Heidi’s eyes.
Just as I thought!
Rebecca definitely mistook soone or soone pretended to be President Lancaster to deceive her.
In any case, from any angle, Rebecca was a foolish woman who got tricked, not soone who posed any threat; she could let Rebecca deal with Nina!
Heidi reined in her thoughts and said with a smile, "It’s okay, then we’ll wait a little longer."
"Alright."
By this ti, the shock on so people’s faces was just beginning to fade, and they gathered like a pot boiling over, whispering to each other.
"Wow! What just happened? Nina Sinclair got picked up by a luxury car?"
"No, isn’t the main point that we all thought it was President Lancaster in that car? Who could have guessed it was actually his assistant instead."
Last ti, Julian Lancaster ca in place of President Lancaster to announce a campaign, and many people learned about his identity.
"Could it be that President Lancaster lent him the car to drive?"
"Doesn’t President Lancaster have his own driver? How could he possibly let an assistant drive his car?"
"Could it be that the assistant bought the car himself? Co on, don’t be ridiculous, with his salary he’d never afford a car in a hundred years."
...
With Heidi’s help, Rebecca returned to Zenith’s lobby to take shelter from the rain.
She gloomily used a tissue to wipe rainwater from her face, and hearing the murmurs around her made her already unpleasant expression even darker.
Finally, Rebecca couldn’t take it anymore; she felt too embarrassed to stay any longer and turned around to leave the scene.
Yet, even after she left, the crowd’s discussions didn’t stop.
Everyone continued speculating and making guesses, not noticing that the car, which they thought had co to pick up Nina Sinclair, slowly drove away.
At this ti, the car made its way to the underground parking lot of Zenith.
The driver was Marcus Walsh.
He was indeed here to pick up Rebecca; he just hadn’t expected to run into Julian Lancaster.
Previously, Julian had indeed lent him his luxury car for a couple of days, and he had used it to pick up Rebecca.
Unexpectedly, it led Rebecca to mistakenly believe the car was his own, and due to the matter of standing in for Julian Lancaster, he couldn’t explain his situation.
Today, Julian suddenly inford him that he no longer needed to pretend to be him.
