CHAPTER 111: CHAPTER 111: WE’RE NOT GETTING DIVORCED

"Huh?" Nina Sinclair propped herself up, looking at Julian Lancaster with confusion in her eyes, as if she didn’t understand his words at all.

Was there something wrong with the contract they signed?

At that time, she was provoked by Sierra Sinclair’s lovey-dovey posts on social media, so she only skimmed through it without paying attention to other conditions.

Besides those surprising conditions, was there anything else she missed?

Seeing Nina’s bewildered face, Julian decided to explain more clearly.

He said slowly, "In the supplementary conditions at the end, there’s a clause stating that if the contract is terminated early, a penalty of five million must be paid."

Nina’s eyes widened like saucers.

What?

A penalty of five million!!!

Are you kidding? Even if she sold herself, she wouldn’t have five million to repay!

Julian said with an unchanged expression, "Do you still want a divorce now?"

Nina had never really wanted a divorce; she just wanted to set Julian and his girlfriend free. She didn’t expect that the contract they signed had such a huge trap.

She was at a loss for words.

After a while, Nina sighed heavily and said, "We won’t divorce."

After all, a year would pass in the blink of an eye.

By that time, she would be able to leave completely.

Although she could continue to be with Julian for now, Nina still felt somewhat unhappy because Julian already had a girlfriend, and he was forced to continue with her because of the contract.

Both of them should be victims, shouldn’t they?

If she’d known, she would have paid more attention when signing the contract.

Nina lay back down weakly; if they weren’t getting a divorce, then so be it. She just needed to change her mindset about Julian, or she’d eventually fall for his charm helplessly.

She closed her eyes and murmured, "Goodnight, Julian."

"Goodnight."

Even though she felt down, Nina quickly fell asleep without a care, while Julian lay awake, his eyes open without a trace of sleepiness.

He frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on Nina.

In the darkness, her facial features were vaguely visible; he hadn’t expected to use such unsavory means to keep someone.

Meanwhile, in the tent next door.

Sharon Lancaster was pressing her ear against the tent wall, eavesdropping with a face full of curiosity and gossip.

Louis Quinn, seeing her like this, couldn’t help but chuckle softly and said, "Eavesdropping on your brother? Be careful, or he’ll get back at you."

Sharon didn’t even turn her head, "Oh, I’m just worried about Nina and my brother. I didn’t expect Nina to have a man hidden in her heart; it’s so surprising. Who exactly is that man?"

She tried hard to recall every detail from school with Nina, but no one matched.

Nina had never been particularly close with any man.

Curiosity flickered in Louis’s eyes as he casually asked, "And the man hidden in your heart, is it Samuel Rhodes?"

As soon as Louis mentioned this jerk, Sharon exploded.

She turned her head sharply, gritting her teeth, "Don’t mention him in front of me, or I’ll blow up, and we won’t be good siblings anymore!"

Good siblings...?

At those three words, Louis’s expression visibly stiffened, his face a mix of unclear emotions.

Is that how Sharon saw him? As a brother?

It seemed he had a long way to go.
