Ruby Sinclair had been waiting for an opportunity, and now seeing Julian Lancaster finishing his pleasantries with Old Master Sinclair, she immediately walked gracefully in Julian’s direction.
Alice Sinclair had met Julian previously and knew that Julian Lancaster was Nina Sinclair’s man.
Seeing Ruby approach him, seemingly with some intention, Alice felt disdainful but also wanted to slap Ruby fiercely.
She immediately turned to find Nina Sinclair.
At this moment, Nina had just come out of the restroom and discovered she unexpectedly got her period.
Luckily, she had brought some spare supplies. Just as she was about to return to the banquet hall, she saw Alice’s anxious figure appear. Alice grabbed her wrist as soon as she saw her, "Nina, why were you in the restroom for so long? Ruby’s got her eyes on your man, do you know that?"
Nina’s heart skipped a beat at Alice’s words.
Ruby has her eyes on her man? What does that mean?
"Wasn’t he in the lounge just now? Has he come out?"
Alice immediately replied, "Yes, he came out just now and Ruby has taken a fancy to him. She’s probably trying to flirt with him now. If you don’t go out there, your man might get snatched!"
Nina coughed lightly.
She and Julian were married, had a certificate and all—how could he possibly be snatched away so easily?
However, she still took out her phone and sent a message to Julian.
Nina Sinclair: You came out?

At the same time, Ruby nonchalantly walked up to Julian, a smile on her face, and said, "Hi, Young Master Lancaster."
Before Julian could speak, she saw him take out his phone right in front of her.
Thus, Ruby could only patiently wait for him to handle his affairs.
Julian, seeing it was a message from Nina, immediately typed a reply: You’ve been out of touch for a while, and I was worried you were being bullied. What? You don’t want me to come out?
Nina, upon receiving Julian’s reply, immediately asked: I heard my sister Ruby is next to you?
Seeing this, Julian raised his eyes to look at Ruby.
Ruby, catching Julian staring at her, was initially stunned and then shyly looked down.
He must have noticed her, right!
Julian continued to reply: Yeah, a woman came to say hi, I didn’t pay her any mind.
Nina nearly burst into laughter at Julian’s response; she wasn’t worried, just thought Ruby was being foolish.
She sent one final line: Stay put, don’t talk to other women. I’m heading back right now.
After sending her message, Nina put her phone back in her handbag.
She said to Alice, "Let’s go, we’re heading back."
Alice was unusually excited, eagerly anticipating the spectacle of Ruby being utterly humiliated by Nina.
Later, if Ruby finds out that the man she’s flirting with is Nina’s, it’ll probably feel worse than eating crap!
Julian calmly put away his phone after seeing Nina’s message.
He stood there tall and straight, exuding an unapproachable indifference that deterred proximity.
But Ruby didn’t mind; she continued talking to Julian.
"Young Master Lancaster, what brings you to my grandfather’s birthday banquet? Are we collaborating on something?"
Julian, without even a glance her way, ignored Ruby.
Ruby felt as if she was warmly reaching towards a cold shoulder. She had said so much, yet Julian hadn’t responded to a single word of hers.
