Chapter 435: Chapter 435

"Well, President Lancaster has always been generous with his subordinates." Julian Lancaster replied with a poker face, "Actually, the main purpose today is not my grandmother’s birthday, she just happened to benefit."

Nina Sinclair was silent for a while, suddenly sensing something off.

She looked at Julian Lancaster with suspicion and seriously questioned, "Isn’t it President Lancaster’s grandmother’s birthday celebration today? Could it be that your grandmother and President Lancaster’s grandmother share the same birthday?"

"You have the same name as President Lancaster."

"Your grandmother’s birthday is on the same day as President Lancaster’s grandmother’s, and your grandmother said your grandfather is on his deathbed!"

"Do you really think I’m a fool?"

Nina Sinclair asked clearly and calmly one question after another, growing increasingly convinced that there were many issues.

Julian Lancaster: "..."

Sometimes, Nina Sinclair was indeed quite easy to deceive, but now she seemed to have woken up, not as easily fooled.

He didn’t expect his grandmother to be so ruthless, even daring to fabricate tales about his grandfather’s health.

Julian Lancaster thought for a moment, planning to start with the simplest explanation.

"My name..." He cleared his throat and said, "Actually my real name is particularly unpleasant. By coincidence, I sometimes have to substitute for President Lancaster, so I simply changed my name, and it makes it a bit more convenient, this name belongs to President Lancaster."

This was the same explanation Nina Sinclair had given regarding his name before.

Being President Lancaster’s stand-in, having the same name isn’t anything unheard of.

Nina Sinclair took a deep breath, frustrated, and said, "Alright, even if I overthought the name issue, then how do you explain both your grandmother and President Lancaster’s grandmother having birthday celebrations on the same day? Don’t tell me such coincidences just happen."

Julian Lancaster sighed quietly, realizing he had to use his ace now.

After carefully choosing his words, he said, "Nina, since you’re curious, I might as well tell you the truth."

Nina Sinclair furrowed her brows tightly again, staring at Julian Lancaster as if saying, let’s see how you explain this.

Julian Lancaster paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually, today President Lancaster planned something big, but he didn’t want to tell others, so he deliberately said it was his grandmother’s birthday. But he was afraid if people came, they would find out they were tricked. Coincidentally, he knew our grandmother was celebrating, so he held the birthday for my grandmother."

After speaking, Julian Lancaster felt that his lie was perfectly seamless.

Next, it was up to Nina Sinclair to believe him or not.

He stepped forward to hold Nina Sinclair’s small hand and sincerely asked, "Nina, you don’t still suspect I’m President Lancaster, do you?"

"Uh..." Nina Sinclair actually had already believed his words.

She couldn’t help but mutter, "Your grandmother called me to attend the birthday celebration, then I knew here is the Lancaster Group’s territory, and all sorts of... Anyone would think so."

Julian Lancaster couldn’t help but smile, "Didn’t expect to cause such a misunderstanding for you."

"And you didn’t even invite me to come." Nina Sinclair took the opportunity to accuse him.

Julian Lancaster showed a guilty look and said, "My grandfather is somewhat stubborn, he isn’t very satisfied with you. To prevent you from being wronged, I didn’t invite you. You won’t blame me, will you?"

Besides his identity and the lies he just fabricated, the other things were true.

Julian Lancaster wasn’t hiding anything; Old Master Lancaster indeed wasn’t satisfied with Nina Sinclair.

Upon hearing this, Nina Sinclair felt a bit guilty.

Julian Lancaster probably didn’t mean to deceive her either. Originally, his grandfather didn’t quite like her, and if he had invited her, it might not have gone well.

He was so considerate of her, yet she suspected him of lying. It was really too much, she shouldn’t have doubted him.

"Then tell me, what’s your real name?"

"..." Julian Lancaster took a deep breath, casually saying, "Daniel Lancaster." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

"Pfft hahaha..." Nina Sinclair couldn’t help but clutch her stomach and laugh.

No wonder Julian Lancaster had such a name, it was no wonder he said his name was particularly unpleasant.
