Chapter 521: Chapter 521

In the garden, Old Master Lancaster walked slowly with a serious expression, and Julian Lancaster was beside him, silently accompanying him.

After a moment of silence, Old Master Lancaster suddenly said, "Do you remember what I just said?"

Julian Lancaster’s eyes flickered slightly, and he replied leisurely, "If Nina Sinclair beats Heidi Leighton, you’ll accept her."

"..." Old Master Lancaster almost got infuriated upon hearing this.

He glared fiercely at Julian. How could this brat only remember that? He clearly said if Heidi wins, Julian Lancaster should obediently go on a date with her!

"I know you’re stubborn. If that woman loses, our Lancaster Family won’t mistreat her. Whether she wants a house or something else, I can give it to her. Don’t argue with me. Every decision the Lancaster Family makes must be correct, to ensure our family’s prosperity!"

Julian wasn’t concerned with Old Master’s words.

He had confidence in Nina Sinclair, believing she would win. Even if she lost, he would find a way at that time.

When Julian returned inside, Old Madam Lancaster was chatting with Nina Sinclair, and whatever they were talking about seemed very joyful.

He watched Old Madam laugh heartily, a trace of longing flickering in his eyes.

It had been a long time since he’d seen Grandma so happy.

It seemed Grandma truly liked Nina.

He stepped forward and said to Nina Sinclair, "Let’s go; we’re going back."

Nina Sinclair got into the car, waving goodbye to Old Madam Lancaster, "Grandpa, Grandma, goodbye."

The car slowly left the village and vanished into the night.

Nina Sinclair was less tense than when she arrived, her lips carried a faint smile, and it seemed her mood was quite good.

Julian Lancaster glanced at her and asked, "Did anything make you uncomfortable today? Clearly, you’re here as a guest, but you ended up cooking."

Nina Sinclair waved her hand indifferently and laughed, "Ah, it’s nothing. Grandpa and Grandma like my cooking, so I’m happy. Moreover, I’m now married to you, how could I still be a guest? I should be considered one of the family."

Julian Lancaster paused for a moment, then smiled.

Seeing that Nina Sinclair showed no sign of displeasure, he relaxed a bit, "When do you plan to go back?"

He thought Joel Thatcher was somewhat dangerous, so it’d be better for Nina Sinclair to keep her distance from him.

Once they return to Veridia, considering the hospital matter Joel Thatcher was involved in, he likely wouldn’t go to great lengths to pursue her there.

Nina Sinclair didn’t hesitate long and immediately said, "Let’s leave tomorrow. We stayed because Grandma fell ill, but now that Grandma is doing fine, and Grandpa and Grandma have been visited, there’s no need to stay. I have to return to Veridia to start focusing on my affairs, or I might lose to Heidi Leighton."

Mentioning this woman, Nina Sinclair felt somewhat annoyed.

She mumbled, somewhat discontent, "Heidi Leighton came after me this time, didn’t she? How did she get President Lancaster to agree to let her establish a new department in Zenith? President Lancaster is actually helping her!"

According to Nina Sinclair’s current understanding, President Lancaster was Julian Lancaster’s boss, so he should naturally support Julian. How could he possibly assist someone else?

She truly couldn’t comprehend this point.

Upon hearing this, Julian Lancaster felt guilty and rubbed his nose.

Lies are like snowballs; once they start rolling, they grow ever bigger until they become unmanageable. He felt he couldn’t keep lying anymore.

Julian Lancaster suppressed his thoughts and tried to explain, "Perhaps the Leighton Family does business with the Lancaster Family, and President Lancaster is giving Mr. Leighton some face."

"Oh, that’s how it is." Nina Sinclair didn’t doubt and quickly accepted this explanation. The source of thɪs content is Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt

Seeing that Nina Sinclair didn’t suspect anything, Julian Lancaster’s tense mood eased a bit.

What he and Sharon Lancaster discussed was correct; he should reveal his identity to Nina Sinclair.

Otherwise, unnecessary troubles in the future might worsen the relationship between them.

But now wasn’t the right time to tell Nina. He wanted to wait until the result of this competition between Elysian and Nia was out.
