Nina Sinclair had already put on her clothes under the blanket. Her dark eyes looked at Julian Lancaster and said, "No reason."
Was it wrong that she didn’t resist either?
Julian Lancaster was silent for a moment and didn’t speak.
Nina Sinclair threw the blanket aside, stood up, took out a bank card, handed it to Julian Lancaster, and then said, "This is the penalty for breaching our contract. There’s five million on the card, consider it my compensation to you."
Julian Lancaster’s gaze fell on her hand, quietly looking at the card without taking it.
For some reason, there was an inexplicable anger in his heart.
Nina Sinclair eventually borrowed five million from Ethan Sherman, was she so eager to leave his side and separate from him completely? New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
They initially included the breach clause because they were unfamiliar with Nina Sinclair and wanted to restrain her.
He didn’t care about the money.
Seeing Julian Lancaster didn’t take it, Nina Sinclair placed the card on the table next to him and said, "I’m the one asking for the divorce. This breach penalty should be given. You can use this money to start a small business so the days ahead can be a bit better."
Julian Lancaster sneered coldly in his heart: Suggesting he start a small business was just a way to make him leave Zenith, never to meet again, to part ways for good.
After saying this, Nina Sinclair fell silent.
Suddenly, she didn’t know what to say, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
She thought for a moment and finally asked, "When should we go get the divorce certificate?"
Julian Lancaster’s eyes darkened suddenly, "When do you want to?"
Nina Sinclair thought for a moment and said, "Mantern has important work tomorrow, I’m not available. How about the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Julian Lancaster nodded in agreement.
He looked at Nina Sinclair holding the suitcase. It was already night; was she going to move out tonight?
Julian Lancaster said, "Where are you going? I’ll give you a ride."
"No need, Ethan is waiting for me downstairs."
As soon as Nina Sinclair said it, she almost wanted to bite her tongue!
Ah... why did she speak without thinking just now? If she let Julian Lancaster give her a ride, she could spend a little more time with him!
But the words had already been said, and there was no way to take them back.
Faced with Julian Lancaster’s slightly cold gaze, Nina Sinclair could only smile awkwardly.
Julian Lancaster asked again, "Where are you staying?"
"Ethan has a vacant apartment, he’s letting me move in..." Nina Sinclair didn’t want to lie to Julian Lancaster and replied with a hard resolve.
Unexpectedly, after she said that, Julian Lancaster’s demeanor turned even colder, colder than ice, like a deep fall and winter, piercing to the bone.
She really couldn’t understand what Julian Lancaster was thinking.
The atmosphere was too awkward, so Nina Sinclair could only find something to say to ease it a bit. She said, "Julian Lancaster, thank you for this time. Let’s part ways and wish you a bright future, peace, and happiness."
Saying these words, Nina Sinclair felt as if she was truly about to leave.
A wave of sourness surged in her heart, her expression turning bleak.
Finally, she hurriedly said, "I, I’m leaving first..."
After finishing, Nina Sinclair pulled out the handle of the suitcase and dragged it out of the room.
As Nina Sinclair passed by him, Julian Lancaster could have reached out to grab her, but he didn’t. He just watched her disappear before his eyes.
Until the door closed and the surroundings became quiet, he realized that Nina Sinclair had truly left.
