Chapter 287: Chapter 287

Ethan decided he must go to Veridia himself to clear things up, lest Julian Lancaster inexplicably target him again!

Nina Sinclair curiously asked, "Ethan, why did you ask if I told Julian Lancaster about the Sinclair Family’s connections? I don’t want to have anything more to do with the Sinclair Family."

"You...ugh! Never mind, it’s nothing. I’m really happy for your success. Remember to treat me to a meal someday."

After saying that, Ethan hung up the phone.

Nina felt Ethan was acting a bit strange; he was unusually excited, but she didn’t think much of it.

Not long after she hung up, Sharon Lancaster’s call came in.

She quickly swiped to answer, and as soon as the call connected, Sharon couldn’t wait to say, "Nina, who were you talking to just now? I called you several times!"

"Is there something you need from me?"

"Actually, it’s nothing..." Sharon giggled.

Then she tentatively asked about Nina’s meeting with Julian’s parents and sister today, worried they hadn’t done well and might expose themselves.

Nina didn’t hide anything and said, "It went pretty smoothly; Julian’s parents have great temperaments and are very easy to get along with."

On the other end, Sharon smugly thought: Of course they’re easy to get along with; his parents aren’t like their aunt who despises the poor and favors the rich, they wouldn’t look down on Nina!

Before Sharon could relish the thought, she heard Nina reluctantly say, "But his sister doesn’t seem to like me much; she even asked about my divorce with Julian today..."

"Pffft!!!" Sharon choked on her saliva.

It took Sharon a while to recover.

Mrs. Lancaster had Chloe Langley pretend to be Julian’s sister; what exactly did Chloe say to cause such a deep misunderstanding for Nina?

For the sake of her own reputation, Sharon felt she had to clear this up.

She repeatedly asked, "What did you say? Julian’s sister doesn’t like you? You’re so outstanding, I can’t imagine his sister wouldn’t like you." The most update n0vels are published on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt

Nina thought about Chloe Langley’s words, and her eyes turned cold.

She wouldn’t speak ill of Julian’s family in front of him, but Sharon was her close sister, so she had nothing to hide.

Nina said, "I don’t think I misunderstood because she explicitly told me I’m not good enough for Julian."

She admitted that Julian was indeed excellent, but she wasn’t too bad either, was she?

Hearing this, Sharon nearly blew up.

Suddenly, she felt it was a mistake to involve Chloe Langley; how could she say such things to Nina?

Sharon had seen some things in the Lancaster Family before; she saw Chloe Langley hiding in a corner and secretly watching Julian, and didn’t think much of it at the time.

Now, thinking back, could it be that woman coveting her brother?

Thinking about it made Sharon quite furious.

The original plan was to help Nina and Julian, but unexpectedly, she might have inadvertently brought a love rival to Nina. She really messed up!

Nina continued, "Later when I was about to leave, she invited me to a gathering of Lady Leighton’s sisters tomorrow; I felt it was a trap, so I didn’t agree."

Tomorrow? A gathering of Lady Leighton’s sisters?

Sharon’s eyes shifted as if she remembered something.

Isn’t tomorrow’s gathering the elite social event organized by Heidi Leighton, involving the daughters of Veridia’s upper class?

She had always been studying in Crestfall and rarely came to Veridia, recently being active in Veridia; the elite in Veridia seemed to have heard and sent an invitation to get closer, but she was too busy and forgot about it.

Could it be that Chloe intends to take the opportunity to exploit Nina if she goes along?
