"Brother Sebastian..."
She looked at Sebastian Blackwood with grievance, and Sebastian furrowed his brows; he only had one card on him tonight.
Then he glanced at the cold expression on Ivy Kensington’s face, knowing she was definitely angry. If he really took out another card for Nina, he might end up with it broken.
Thinking of this, Sebastian shook his head, "Nina, I’m sorry."
Nina never expected that Sebastian wouldn’t help her this time.
"Nina, surely you don’t have no money, right?"
Everyone started to have doubts.
Are you kidding me? How could the proud heiress of the Fu and Xia families be out of money!
Nina gritted her teeth and took out her own card.
However, the owner of The Rose Club quickly returned with the card: "I’m sorry, miss, insufficient funds."
Nina was incredulous. How could there be insufficient funds?
Could it be she had been spending too much recently...
For a moment, Nina’s face turned all sorts of blue and white, like a spilled palette, extremely colorful.
The owner of The Rose Club said mercilessly, "If you fail to pay within three minutes, we’ll contact the police."
If the police take her away, it’s none of their business!
Immediately, everyone looked at Nina with speculation. So she was just keeping up appearances. If that’s the case, why ask us out for dinner?
It was obvious she wanted to flaunt in front of them after receiving an invitation from the Herbalist Association to make them praise her.
Everyone kept silent, observing without speaking.
Nobody would say nice things when this is 280,000, not something resolved with just a few words.
Just when Nina didn’t know what to do, Julian Hawthorne walked over, casting an unhappy glance at Ivy.
He had seen everything just now.
Now, Nina is supposed to be Sebastian’s fiancée, yet Ivy had somehow gotten Sebastian to help her without reason, leaving Nina so helpless.
Seeing him come over, Nina pouted and started to cry aggrievedly.
Julian was a bit heartbroken; after all, Nina was like a sister he watched grow up. He took out his card and said coldly, "I’ll pay."
The owner of The Rose Club didn’t care who was paying as long as someone did.
He took the card and smiled, "Alright, Young Master Hawthorne."
Seeing that someone finally paid for her, Nina breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, she would have lost face completely today!
"Thank you, Brother Julian."
She gently tugged at Julian’s sleeve, meekly and pitifully thanking him.
This scene made Julian feel somewhat uncomfortable.
In his heart, Nina had always been a cherished heiress, now being bullied so badly.
He couldn’t help but look at Ivy, his tone cold as he spoke, "Ivy, next time I see you giving Nina a hard time, don’t blame me for being rude."
These words were a blatant show of support for Nina.
Nina immediately hid behind Julian, secretly showing a smile.
She had always known that Julian had feelings for her, especially since he was easier to believe her than Sebastian, so she always considered Julian as a backup.
"Brother Julian, please stop, otherwise Brother Sebastian will be upset..."
Nina weakly said, cautiously looking at Sebastian.
As expected, the man’s handsome features indeed darkened considerably.
He didn’t know why, but he never used to find anything wrong with Nina’s behavior, yet now it seemed that Nina’s tone was really hard to like, sounding very fake...
Sebastian’s cold gaze swept toward Julian, warning equally sharply, "Shut up." Get full chapters from ⓝovelFire.net
Ivy wasn’t someone for him to reprimand.
At this moment, another graceful figure stood behind Julian.
"Mr. Wen, Young Master Hawthorne just spent nearly thirty thousand for Nina."
The lackey next to Winnie Winslow whispered.
He couldn’t help but feel some schadenfreude; Young Master Hawthorne was done for, daring to spend money on another woman in front of Mr. Wen.
