As Nina Sinclair reached the staircase, she overheard Monica Lancaster’s words and halted her steps.
She hadn’t expected Monica to say such things. Had she not co down to check, she would have missed hearing this.
Turns out Monica wasn’t the good cousin she appeared to be, but rather a spiteful, two-faced individual!
Initially, Nina thought Monica was a well-mannered relative, yet she possessed two faces!
Monica truly is sothing!
The atmosphere in the living room grew tense and awkward due to Monica’s words. Most people were unaware of the history between Nina and Vincent Lancaster; Vincent’s lifestyle was really flashy with so many won, making Nina, his forr girlfriend, sowhat insignificant.
Now with Monica ntioning it, Nina and Vincent’s past relationship was instantly exposed to everyone.
Julian Lancaster and Vincent’s identities seed a bit awkward regardless of how one looked at it.
Sharon Lancaster, upon hearing Monica bringing up past matters, angrily jumped in, "Monica, Nina and Vincent’s past is just that, past. Now she’s my sister-in-law, why are you bringing this up intentionally?"
"Big sister, you’ve misunderstood. I only ntioned it because sister-in-law pushed into the water just now; I didn’t an it."
"Shut up, there’s no way Nina would push you!" Sharon rebuked harshly.
Monica’s face showed a look of grievance as if she genuinely had no ill intentions, making Sharon appear especially aggressive.
"Enough, Sharon, stop talking!" Old Master Lancaster looked sternly at Sharon.
Sharon was extrely angry, but as the head of the family, Old Master Lancaster had spoken, so she had to keep her silence.
Old Master Lancaster turned to Julian, speaking in a deep voice, "How do you plan to deal with Nina pushing Monica into the water? This issue can’t be simply brushed aside, or else people will talk endlessly."
Julian’s expression darkened, just as he was about to speak, Nina’s voice ca from the staircase.
"I didn’t push her!"
Everyone turned their heads to see Nina slowly descending, her complexion pale, her voice slightly hoarse, obviously from choking on water earlier.
Monica saw Nina appear, a dark look flashed in her eyes.
Nina walked over slowly, looked at Monica, and said coldly: "Although I don’t know why you’re framing for pushing you into the water, I didn’t do it. The innocent will remain innocent, and I don’t want to explain further. It seems I can’t partake in this al."
After speaking, Nina turned and left.
"Sister-in-law..." Sharon called out urgently, but Nina didn’t look back.
Julian, seeing Nina leave, imdiately got up and chased her.
Old Master Lancaster didn’t expect Julian to care so much for Nina, chasing after her like that, and angrily rebuked, "Julian, where are you going? Co back here right now!"
However, what responded to him was the sound of the door closing by Julian.
After leaving the house, Nina hurriedly walked outside; Julian brought her here, but now, to leave, she had to head to a place where taxis could be found.
Thinking about how Julian didn’t believe her made Nina feel deeply wronged.
It was one thing for Monica to accuse her unjustly, but Julian not believing her was a significant blow.
