CHAPTER 180: CHAPTER 180: LAST-MINUTE CHANGE OF HEART

After Patricia Payne called out to Nina Sinclair, she stopped speaking and just fidgeted with her fingers, clearly feeling uneasy.

Nina Sinclair silently put away her phone, turned to look at Patricia Payne, and asked, "Did you get the evidence? Let me see if it can be used."

Hearing Nina Sinclair’s words, Patricia Payne showed a look of retreat.

She lightly bit her lip and said softly, "Miss Sinclair, I’ve thought it through carefully, and I still can’t help you. Nathan Norris is my husband. If I let him go to prison, it does me no good at all, and I might even get blamed by my mother-in-law..."

After returning that day, Patricia Payne was filled with worries and talked in her sleep, accidentally letting her mother-in-law overhear.

Her mother-in-law learned that she wanted to expose her son and scolded her fiercely, which made Patricia Payne change her mind.

Nina Sinclair felt a sense of mockery in her heart.

When Patricia Payne walked in just now, she had already guessed the outcome.

It seemed Patricia Payne indeed changed her mind last minute, and fortunately, Julian Lancaster had advised her to be prepared.

He guessed right; Patricia Payne indeed wanted to back out!

Otherwise, relying solely on Patricia Payne’s words, she might have ended up with nothing and wasted two days for nothing.

Nina Sinclair crossed her arms and said, "Since you don’t intend to help me, why did you come to find me? Are you here to give me an explanation?"

Come to think of it, she should thank Patricia Payne for not backing out on the day of the trial, giving her a mental preparation in advance.

Patricia Payne took a deep breath, looked at Nina Sinclair, and said, "I came to see you, hoping you won’t speak of this matter. Nathan Norris is currently on the rise. If you expose this and send him to prison, then everything is over!"

That day, Patricia Payne was betrayed and in a fit of anger but changed her mind after being scolded by her mother-in-law and coaxed by Nathan Norris.

She knew that Nina Sinclair found out about Nathan Norris accepting Sierra Sinclair’s benefits, and afraid that Nina Sinclair would expose Nathan Norris, she specifically came to plead with Nina Sinclair.

Seeing Patricia Payne’s tearful pleading, Nina Sinclair’s eyes lowered slightly, a tangle flashed in her heart.

For a moment, she wanted to agree to Patricia Payne’s request.

But if she didn’t expose this, she would be the one harmed. This time Sierra Sinclair was coming at her fiercely, not just trying to ruin her reputation. She wanted to accuse her of intentional harm, sending her to prison.

If she softened her heart, she would have to bear all the consequences.

Thinking of this, Nina Sinclair became resolute again.

Patricia Payne was a pitiable woman, but Patricia Payne’s misfortune wasn’t caused by her; she had no obligation to agree to her because of this.

Nina Sinclair’s expression turned cold, and she said lightly, "I’m sorry, I can’t agree to your request. You have to consider your husband, and I have to consider myself. If you really want to help him, then persuade him to turn himself in!"

"You!" Patricia Payne was choked with anger.

Although she couldn’t stop Nina Sinclair’s actions, she thought that since Nina had no evidence and only heard her grievances, there was no need to worry about what Nina could do.

With that thought, Patricia Payne turned and left.

Watching Patricia Payne’s departing figure, Nina Sinclair sighed deeply. At this moment, her admiration for Julian Lancaster reached its peak. How did he predict things so accurately?

Just as Nina Sinclair was feeling gloomy, the door of the hospital room opened again.
