CHAPTER 182: CHAPTER 182: DOES NINA SINCLAIR HAVE ANY OTHER BACKERS?

Thinking of this, Nina Sinclair’s face instantly froze, feeling a stifling heaviness in her chest.

However, she thought it was understandable; they weren’t supposed to be crowded together. This was how a contract marriage should normally be.

She stepped forward to open the door, only to be greeted by the sight of a study.

At that moment, Nina Sinclair was stunned.

Julian Lancaster: "Not satisfied with the study? Want to renovate it?"

Hearing Julian Lancaster’s voice, Nina Sinclair’s wandering soul returned to its place. She asked in surprise, "This is a study, so is the next room the bedroom?"

"Yes."

Seeing Julian Lancaster’s natural expression, Nina Sinclair knew he wasn’t joking. He didn’t plan to sleep separately from her?

For some reason, a secret joy crept into Nina Sinclair’s heart.

The two of them tacitly didn’t mention anything about the fact there was only one room.

...

During this time, Sierra Sinclair was live streaming every day, reporting on her recovery progress. She even sought out Nathan Norris to forge an evaluation to ensure Nina Sinclair would receive a harsher punishment.

However, Nathan Norris said it would take two days to get the evaluation ready.

He promised to have it done before the court session, and Sierra Sinclair still trusted his ability to get it done.

In the hospital room, Vincent Lancaster was with Sierra Sinclair.

Sierra Sinclair glanced at him and said, "Vincent, the court session is in a couple of days. You must not be swayed by Nina Sinclair."

Hearing this, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on Vincent Lancaster’s face.

If Nina Sinclair came to plead with him or to sway him, it would indeed be a good thing. But she treated him with disdain, and now she’s not even in custody. No one knows where she went.

Apparently, someone bailed her out, but no one there would say who helped her, regardless of how much he threatened or bribed them.

Could Nina Sinclair possibly have someone influential backing her?

Vincent Lancaster couldn’t help but begin to suspect.

Impossible!

With Nina Sinclair’s low status, how could she have connections with any important figures? The most powerful one could be Ethan Sherman, the eldest Sherman in Crestfall.

If Ethan Sherman hadn’t found a lawyer for Nina Sinclair in Crestfall, he might still be unaware of this matter.

Fortunately, he discovered this in time and intervened to stop it.

Ethan Sherman had a fiancée, yet Nina Sinclair would rather be his lover than Vincent’s, which was really frustrating for him.

He wanted to see how Nina Sinclair could still be arrogant after this verdict!

...

Patricia Payne regretted helping Nina Sinclair, but she hadn’t told Nathan Norris about it, lest he would leak the information to Nina Sinclair and grow even more disgusted with her.

Moreover, thinking that Nina Sinclair had no evidence, she believed it wouldn’t affect her at all, so she didn’t take Nina Sinclair to heart.

Little did she know, the matter was brought to Nathan Norris’s attention by her own mother-in-law.

Patricia Payne was still at work when Nathan Norris cornered her in the break room.

"Let me ask you! Did you tell anyone about my affairs? Are you only satisfied if you ruin me?" Nathan Norris asked menacingly, glaring at Patricia Payne.

It took Patricia Payne quite a while to react, and she guiltily replied, "I didn’t... listen to me..."

"Don’t try to deny it! Mother told me everything. She said you’ve already leaked all my affairs. If it all comes to light, we’ll both go down together!"

After that, Nathan Norris furiously swept a nearby bottle to the floor.

The whole thing was done in secret. It was by chance that Patricia Payne found out, and now it felt like a guillotine hanging over his head, leaving him with no peace, constantly fearing exposure.

It was all Patricia Payne’s fault!
