It’s impossible for a normal person to encounter so many coincidences.
All the bad luck seems to be hitting Ethan Sherman; it’s like he’s on a comedy of errors!
Nina Sinclair almost suspected that Ethan was joking with her, deliberately teasing her.
At a time , he still has the mood to make such jokes!
Ethan sighed helplessly, lamenting, "I’m really not joking! Right now I’m still figuring out a way to get to Veridia; you just stay put, don’t move, wait till I’ve sorted things out and then I’ll find a way to help you."
"Alright then, I wish you all the best," Nina Sinclair took a deep breath.
She hung up the phone helplessly.
Great, now Ethan’s in big trouble, and she can’t count on him, not knowing how long she’ll have to stay in this wretched place.
Nina Sinclair gripped the phone in her hand tightly, what else can she do now?
Seek out Sharon Lancaster? Julian Lancaster?
Given her current mess, Julian is just an ordinary person, what could he possibly do? He might even get dragged into this.
To Julian Lancaster, she was only a contract wife; why would he risk everything to help her?
Thinking this, Nina lowered her raised hand and continued waiting for Ethan Sherman to arrive.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, "Nina Sinclair, someone is here to see you."
Nina Sinclair frowned slightly. Someone came to see her?
She gathered her thoughts and walked out of the room.
After following the guard to a small room, Nina saw a man standing inside, his back facing her.
The man was dressed in a sharp suit, tall, and handsome. Standing there quietly, he exuded a certain aura.
Unexpectedly, it was the person Nina Sinclair least wanted to see.
After everything that happened, now Nina found him utterly repulsive at the sight of him.
She did not enter the room and immediately turned around to return to where she was before.
Vincent Lancaster turned around as soon as he heard the sound. Seeing Nina Sinclair rolling her eyes at him and heading back, he frowned displeasedly.
"Nina Sinclair, even when playing hard to get, there’s a limit. Don’t think I’ll tolerate your whims time and again."
Hearing this, Nina Sinclair stopped in her tracks.
She looked at Vincent Lancaster and let out a cold laugh, replying softly, "Vincent Lancaster, even when harassing someone, there’s a limit. Don’t think I’ll tolerate you time and again."
Vincent Lancaster’s expression darkened, "Can’t we just talk properly?"
"You’re with Sierra’s faction, naturally my enemy, and yet you want to talk nicely with me? Why should I?"
Nina Sinclair showed a mocking expression, "You’re here to mock me, why should I sit and take it? I’m not a masochist; are you here to help me or something?"
Vincent Lancaster fell silent, not responding immediately.
Seeing him , Nina’s heart skipped a beat, a bad feeling arising.
Internally, she thought, Oh no! Could Vincent really be here to help her?
Someone like Vincent Lancaster wouldn’t help without a reason. Could it be he hasn’t given up on the ridiculous idea of reconciling her with Sierra?
Before Vincent could speak, Nina spoke in a cold voice, "Vincent Lancaster, I don’t need your help, save your kindness. If you really have that much free time, go withdraw your accusations against me."
With that, Nina walked away without looking back.
Watching her leave, Vincent Lancaster’s eyes darkened, his handsome face turning grim.
He originally thought that with Nina Sinclair at the end of her rope, he could control her, but she turned out to be defiant.
Very well, anyway, the worst hasn’t happened yet. Nina Sinclair isn’t in a hurry now, but when she’s truly cornered, she’ll have no other choice but to obey him!
