Just when Nina Sinclair thought Julian Lancaster was going to change the topic or pretend not to hear it.
Julian suddenly reached out, softly lifted her chin, and then his handsome face drew closer and closer, until his cool lips pressed against hers.
In that moment, Nina’s mind went blank.
A moment later, Julian released her, lay down calmly, and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."
If they continued, he feared he wouldn’t be able to hold back.
She reached out and touched her lips, feeling a bit flustered.
Julian still hadn’t answered her question, and he suddenly kissed her? After kissing her, he just went to sleep without saying anything, what did that even mean?
Nina felt a headache coming on.
She glared at Julian, silently cursing him in her heart, bastard! He provokes her and then just leaves her to stew in her thoughts.
Unfortunately, the man kept his eyes closed, unaffected in the slightest.
Eventually, Nina could only sigh and lay down beside Julian, and with the sound of his gentle breathing, she unknowingly fell asleep.
Veridia General Hospital VIP ward.
Sierra Sinclair was hospitalized.
After a check-up on the day of the engagement party, the doctor said she had some internal bleeding in addition to external injuries and arranged for her to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation.
During her hospital stay, Vincent Lancaster diligently came to visit her every day, bringing her various things and paying meticulous attention, as if she was a precious gem to him.
But Sierra knew that all of this stemmed from her identity as the Sinclair Family’s daughter.
If one day she was nothing, then everything would be gone.
Knock, knock, someone knocked on the door of the ward, and Sierra quickly composed her expression, "Come in."
She thought it would be Vincent, but surprisingly, it turned out to be Phoebe Linden and Lillian Tupper, each holding flowers and a fruit basket.
"We came to see you."
Seeing it was the two of them and not Vincent, Sierra’s expression immediately relaxed, "Why are you here?"
The two of them didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, "Sierra, yesterday we went out to eat, and you wouldn’t believe who we ran into!"
"Yeah! We saw Nina Sinclair, and she was with a man. They looked very close..."
The two of them spoke in unison.
Sierra’s face showed a trace of boredom, "So what."
"Sierra, we heard Nina say that the man she brought to your engagement party with Manager Lancaster wasn’t the real President Lancaster, but a chauffeur!"
"What!" Sierra sat up straight in surprise.
She looked sharply at the two, pressing, "Are you sure?" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
"We even recorded it, listen if you don’t believe us."
After saying that, they took out their phone to play the recording.
When Sierra heard Nina admit in her own words that she had found a man to impersonate Julian Lancaster, her eyes instantly filled with a cold gleam.
Nina dared to do such a thing, deceiving everyone, including Vincent and Yvette; they were all played by Nina!
Thinking of all the humiliation she suffered at the engagement party, Sierra gritted her teeth with hatred.
The incident was a massive blow to her, as she had initially thought Nina had really hooked up with such a big shot like Julian Lancaster.
But it turned out it was just a fake!
