CHAPTER 667: CHAPTER 667: NOT EVEN THE SERPENT RIVER CAN WASH AWAY THE STAIN

Even after getting in the car, Julian Lancaster’s expression was still very unpleasant.

Felix Ford, driving in the front, didn’t dare make a sound, keeping his neck shrunk in fear of being caught in the crossfire.

When Julian came to pick up Nina Sinclair, he was already a bit unhappy. He didn’t expect to become even more upset after seeing her, and no one knew what had happened.

As a subordinate, he could only try to minimize his presence.

Even Felix detected Julian’s anger, so Nina, sitting right next to him, was sure to notice his mood.

She carefully glanced at Julian, trying to keep her tone steady as she asked, "Why did you come?"

Julian replied indifferently, "To pick you up."

"...Uh, you’re too good to me, I’m very surprised and kind of shocked," Nina said, sneaking a look at his expression after speaking.

Julian’s face was still very cold and hard, clearly stimulated by what had just happened.

Feeling a bit wronged, Nina said, "I really just coincidentally met Vincent. I have no idea how he ended up on the same flight as me. I ran into him in Crestfall, and then he kept pestering me."

Upon hearing Nina’s explanation, a look of helplessness appeared in Julian’s eyes.

Although he didn’t take Vincent seriously, he was still displeased with his involvement with Nina, perhaps a man’s selfish possessiveness over his own woman.

He didn’t blame Nina, only himself.

If he had put everything aside to accompany her, this might not have happened.

Julian sighed and said, "Hmm, I know. I haven’t overthought it."

Despite Julian’s expression not being very convincing, Nina didn’t take it to heart; perhaps he was indeed unhappy, but he still trusted her.

At this moment, Nina’s phone dinged.

She took a glance at it and saw it was a message from Sharon Lancaster.

Sharon: "Nina, are you going back to Crestfall today? Do you know what message Heidi Leighton sent my brother yesterday?"

Seeing Sharon’s message, a look of surprise crossed Nina’s eyes.

She discreetly avoided Julian, secretly replying to Sharon, "What do you mean? What message did Heidi send?"

Sharon then told Nina everything that Heidi had done.

When Nina heard about the outrageous things Heidi had done, she almost choked in disbelief. Who would have thought that after losing the competition, she would resort to such unethical actions?

She left surprised to run into Vincent, and even more startled when he started making a move.

Julian must have seen those photos, so when he came to the airport to pick her up and saw Vincent with her, wouldn’t the misunderstanding only deepen?

Instantly, Nina felt like crying, helpless.

She felt even if she jumped into The Serpent River, she couldn’t clear her name!

Nina glanced at Julian’s stern profile, observing carefully... Though he said there was no misunderstanding, his current expression clearly indicated there was.

Although glad that Julian cares about her, Nina didn’t want him to be upset either.

It seemed she would have to use all her efforts to appease him.

Nina leaned closer to Julian’s ear, her cheeks slightly blushing, and whispered, "Julian, we haven’t seen each other for several days. Isn’t it time to accomplish our ’task’ tonight?"
