CHAPTER 199: CHAPTER 199: ABANDONED BY NINA SINCLAIR

Nina Sinclair stood by the roadside waiting for Julian Lancaster.

Soon, an ordinary private car stopped in front of the Zenith Building. Nina opened the door and got in. She barely had time to close the door before the car sped away.

Nina was somewhat surprised.

Before she could ask, Julian’s voice sounded in her ear, "Vincent Lancaster followed you; he must be stalking you."

Upon hearing this, Nina’s eye twitched.

She glanced at the rearview mirror; sure enough, she saw Vincent with a sullen face lurking at the corner of the Zenith Building.

She hadn’t expected Vincent to be so relentless. What did he want by stalking her?

Although Nina thought Vincent was acting strangely, she didn’t dwell on it. She should be wondering... what to have for dinner tonight.

At that moment, Vincent stood downstairs at Zenith with a dark and ugly expression. He was just one step away from seeing who the man with Nina was!

However, judging by that car, it shouldn’t be Louis Quinn’s car.

After all, Louis is the young master of the Quinn family, and someone of his stature wouldn’t drive a car worth only tens of thousands. Could there be another man?

Vincent found himself trapped in confusion.

Nina and Julian had just returned to Royal Vista Estates when they received a call from Ethan Sherman. She took out her phone and swiped to answer.

"Ethan."

Hearing Nina’s greeting, Julian, who was opening the door, paused for a moment. His eyes narrowed slightly, filled with vigilance.

"Nina, I’m in Veridia, hurry and come pick me up!"

Nina sighed helplessly. Ethan had been stuck in Crestfall due to a string of misfortunes, but now that things had been resolved, he was back to wandering freely.

She looked at Julian and said apologetically, "Julian, I might need to head out. Maybe you should go out for dinner tonight."

"To meet Ethan?"

"Yes, Ethan is in Veridia. I have to go pick him up."

Nina glanced at the time, "I better go now, or he’ll complain about the wait. I’m off."

With that, Nina turned and left.

Julian watched her hurried figure, his eyes darkened. He didn’t enter the apartment but instead took his keys and drove off.

An hour later, Julian returned to the Lancaster Family.

At this moment, Sharon Lancaster was having dinner. Seeing someone she didn’t expect, she widened her eyes in surprise, "Bro? Why are you back?"

Julian glanced at the dinner table, "Is there any food left?"

Seeing this, Sharon’s gossip instinct kicked in. She quickly pulled Julian to sit down, saying, "Oh, don’t worry, I’ll ask Auntie Rong to prepare something. Just tell me, did you have a fight with Nina to come back on your own?"

"No."

Sharon didn’t believe it; Julian’s entire demeanor screamed ’stay away’, hardly the look of someone who hadn’t fought—clearly, he was in a bad mood.

Seeing Sharon’s eagerness, Julian said, "Ethan came."

Sharon’s eyes darted, quickly piecing together what was going on.

She hypothesized, "So... Ethan arrived, then Nina left you to meet him. They’re having a candlelit dinner, and you came back to the Lancaster Family all alone?"

After speaking, Sharon shut her mouth instantly under Julian’s icy gaze.

"Hehehe... I misspoke..." She grinned sheepishly and changed the topic, "Aren’t you worried, with Nina meeting that man, that he might go back on his word? Planning a double-cross?"

Upon hearing Sharon’s words, Julian’s brows furrowed deeply.
