"Uh... I used to think so, but since you managed to get me out, it proves President Lancaster didn’t help him—he’s still a really good person."
Only now did Julian figure out Nina Sinclair’s thought process.
Because she didn’t want to drag him into it, she didn’t ask for his help. Just because he was merely a driver for hire, she didn’t even reach out to Sharon Lancaster, maybe for the same reason.
Nina thought of something and asked puzzledly, "How did you manage to get me out?"
"Utilized President Lancaster’s connections," Julian replied with a straight face.
He didn’t expect to finally have to use President Lancaster’s identity; otherwise, he couldn’t have explained it.
"What about the detention center..."
"Rest well, don’t worry about anything else, I’ll handle it for you."
He realized he needed to prove his ability, or Nina would still think he was useless.
After speaking, Julian reached out and pulled the blanket up to her neck.
Seeing Nina still wanting to say something, Julian continued without waiting for her to speak, "Since we’ve already asked President Lancaster for help, let’s not waste this opportunity."
Nina sighed and said gloomily, "Alright, anyway, Ethan Sherman is unreliable and can’t compete with Vincent Lancaster. He’s still stuck in Crestfall and can’t come."
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed so long at the detention center.
Thinking of Julian’s willingness to help her no matter what, Nina’s eyes warmed, feeling she owed more favors.
Seeing Julian guarding nearby earlier, she almost cried with emotion.
Nina sincerely said, "Thank you."
Looking at Nina’s grateful face, Julian’s expression relaxed a lot. He softly said, "Remember to come to me if you have any problems. I can help resolve all your troubles."
Nina felt like a feather gently brushed across her heart. Julian was really quite charming—his words could instantly captivate many girls’ hearts, hers included.
He truly had a sense of responsibility!
But he only treated her as a contractual partner, nothing else.
Thinking this, Nina’s mood suddenly fell.
Julian noticed her mood and asked, "What’s wrong? Are you still uncomfortable physically? Should I call the doctor to check on you?"
Nina quickly came to her senses and shook her head vigorously, "No need, I’m not uncomfortable anywhere, don’t worry, I just remembered some things."
"Worried about the lawsuit?"
Nina didn’t dare to tell him what she had been thinking.
If she spoke out, it might be a burden on everyone; rather, it would be better to act like she knew nothing and just get along with Julian.
She suppressed the chaotic thoughts and replied, "Yes, Vincent Lancaster is aggressive this time; he’s not easy to deal with..."
Ethan Sherman is such a hapless guy, completely outmatched by Vincent Lancaster.
Maybe because she’s always targeted by Vincent, Ethan’s attempts to find a lawyer were discovered.
Thinking of him being blocked by Vincent using the Lancaster family’s connections, setting numerous obstacles, Nina felt helpless.
Seems like power is truly influential in this world.
Julian glanced at her and said lightly, "It’s not impossible."
"A way?" Nina looked at Julian curiously and asked eagerly, "Do you have a solution? You wouldn’t go ask President Lancaster again, would you?"
She felt they shouldn’t keep owing favors. President Lancaster helped once out of generosity; they couldn’t always rely on his help. They needed to figure things out on their own.
But no one heard her talking to Sierra Sinclair that day, so there was no witness. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt
Her location didn’t have surveillance, so there was no physical evidence either.
No witnesses, no tangible evidence, she felt doomed!
Julian’s eyes flickered, and he slowly said, "Although your location was a surveillance blind spot, the building opposite has a camera that just happens to capture that spot."
