Nina Sinclair waited for two days but still hadn’t received a reply from Sunny Hale.
She couldn’t hold back any longer and took a day off to investigate Sunny’s address, then immediately booked a flight to Crestfall.
Because it happened so suddenly, she didn’t have time to tell Julian Lancaster, so she just sent him a message, "Babe, I’m going to Crestfall to find someone, and also to visit my mother. If you need, I can visit your grandpa as well." Follow current novels on NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt
Meanwhile, in the office of the President of Zenith.
Today, Sharon Lancaster came to see Julian Lancaster. She had heard that recently, Heidi Leighton contacted Old Master Lancaster, asking him to arrange her entry into Zenith and wanted to compete with Nina Sinclair. Sharon felt very angry and intended to see what this shameless woman was planning.
She sneaked into Julian Lancaster’s office, planning to surprise him.
But as soon as they exchanged two sentences, his phone rang. He glanced at it, and Julian Lancaster’s brows furrowed slightly.
Curious, Sharon leaned over to look, and before she could laugh at Nina’s nickname, she saw the message that Nina was heading to Crestfall.
She asked in confusion, "Nina went to Crestfall? To find someone? Who? Could it be Joel Thatcher? And she even mentioned visiting grandpa? Your identity is at risk of being exposed at any moment! Plus, grandpa dislikes Nina so much, he might give her a hard time!"
Sharon’s various concerns were not unfounded. If Nina Sinclair went to find Elder Lancaster alone, it wouldn’t be a good thing.
Julian Lancaster’s brows furrowed deeply, clearly displeased by Sharon’s words.
After a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed an internal Zenith number, "Walter Wyatt, I’m heading out for a bit. Keep me updated on any developments."
Sharon’s eyes widened, go out for a bit?
Could he be going to Crestfall to find Nina Sinclair?
Watching Julian Lancaster grab his coat and head out, Sharon knew he was worried about Nina being by herself and was going to Crestfall to chase after her.
"Brother! Wait for me, I’m coming too..."
After Nina Sinclair got off the plane, she didn’t hesitate at all and went straight to Sunny Hale’s address by car.
Sunny lived in an old residential area. Nina knew from before that Sunny’s family situation wasn’t great, which was why Sunny was so eager to climb up the social ladder.
However, she hadn’t heard Sunny’s name in the industry recently; maybe she had switched careers.
Nina’s eyes darkened. Sunny had shown such love for jewelry design before; it wasn’t easy for someone like that to give up on the industry.
Could she have been forced to quit because of some reason?
Regardless of whether Sunny was willing to help, Nina wanted to find out how she was doing.
She thought about many things on her way there and finally arrived at Sunny’s doorstep.
Unexpectedly, as she approached, she saw a group of people surrounding the area, with several gruff, aggressive voices shouting, "If you don’t pay up today, then make money working on the streets."
"No... please, give me more time, I promise I’ll pay you back!"
"Hah! No? The interest on your debt has already increased tenfold. With you working as a mere cashier, how many lifetimes do you think it’ll take you to pay it off? Drag her away now; find her a customer tonight."
With a piercing scream, several tall, strong men dragged a frail woman out of the crowd.
The onlookers, who were enjoying the spectacle, didn’t dare step forward and quickly moved aside.
Nina Sinclair could see clearly that the one being bullied was none other than Sunny Hale, whom she had come to find!
