Chapter 436: Chapter 436

"No, I don’t blame you." Nina Sinclair thought of Heidi Leighton’s situation just now and asked, "So the person your grandfather favors is Heidi Leighton?"

"Yes." Julian Lancaster nodded unflinchingly.

Nina Sinclair didn’t expect to be disliked by the elders, and her emotions suddenly became low.

Actually, she didn’t blame Julian Lancaster for not bringing her here, but felt that she wasn’t outstanding enough, which is why Julian Lancaster’s grandfather didn’t like her. Julian must be in a difficult position, caught in the middle.

Seeing Nina Sinclair’s eyes lower, and her low spirits, Julian Lancaster pulled her into his arms and comforted her, "Don’t mind it. No matter how my grandfather sees it, it doesn’t change my decision, and grandma really likes you."

When Julian Lancaster found out that Old Madam Lancaster invited Nina Sinclair, he realized her fondness for Nina.

Thinking of the closeness from Old Madam Lancaster, Nina Sinclair felt much better.

As long as Julian Lancaster is firm in his intentions, she can keep going with him.

Just when she felt happy for a moment, Nina Sinclair recalled the Goldenleaf Manor incident, and her heart chilled halfway.

Originally, she and Julian Lancaster unexpectedly got together, finally reaching this point, only for that incident to happen, losing the most precious innocence of a girl. She would always be a step lower in front of Julian Lancaster.

Moreover, deep in her heart, there is deep-seated fear, a sense of inadequacy.

In fact, after learning that Julian Lancaster might be President Lancaster, her inner fear grew.

Afraid that she couldn’t match Julian Lancaster.

Luckily, he is not President Lancaster.

Julian Lancaster quietly held Nina Sinclair for a while before speaking casually, "You’re quite familiar with Joel Thatcher?"

Even though Julian already knew about Joel and Nina’s situation, he still wanted to hear Nina Sinclair say it in person, curious about Joel’s position in Nina’s mind.

"Are you talking about Joel? We grew up together, but after breaking ties with the Sinclair Family, I severed relations with everyone in Crestfall. Because my mother’s condition has recently improved, I asked Joel to continue treating her."

Nina Sinclair briefly explained her situation with Joel Thatcher.

Upon hearing Nina’s words, Julian Lancaster’s eyes flashed a bit.

It seemed that Nina Sinclair didn’t have other major feelings for Joel, although he couldn’t guarantee Joel felt the same, at least Nina had no thoughts, allowing him to feel at peace.

After Nina finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "I’m just an ordinary person now, without the Sinclair Family as my backing, I can only rely on myself to work hard. You won’t mind, right?"

Vincent Lancaster was swayed by Sierra Sinclair, who pretended to be her, using the Sinclair Family’s status to switch allegiances. Nina Sinclair only now asked Julian Lancaster if he would be like Vincent.

Julian Lancaster naturally knew what Nina Sinclair was thinking.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Don’t compare me to Vincent Lancaster. My own woman, I will earn money to support."

Upon hearing this, Nina Sinclair smiled lightly.

Julian Lancaster’s words were truly domineering yet responsible, making one feel secure; he really was different from Vincent. How could Vincent even compare to him?

"Earlier, you mentioned the big event President Lancaster is preparing. What is it exactly?"

Julian Lancaster smiled mysteriously, "Come on, let’s return to the ballroom. You’ll find out soon."

"But earlier Joel..."

"He’s a grown man; he’ll come over once he’s changed. You don’t need to worry about him." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt

Nina Sinclair was still curious about the big event Julian Lancaster mentioned, but in the end, she followed him back to the ballroom.
