CHAPTER 209: CHAPTER 209: EVEN LESS OF AN APPETITE

Let Byron Sinclair come over to visit Elysian? Wouldn’t that expose her identity?

Absolutely not!

Sierra Sinclair was much calmer than the previous times, she quickly suppressed her panic and asked, "Vincent, why did you think of having my dad come over? I’ve been through so much lately, and I don’t want him to worry about me. Why don’t we wait a little longer?"

After saying this, her tears fell down.

"Don’t you trust me? Even William Lucas, the Sinclair Family’s butler, personally came to negotiate the contract for me. Don’t you believe any of this? How could you doubt..."

Seeing Sierra Sinclair crying, Vincent Lancaster hurriedly reached out and hugged her.

"Sierra, don’t overthink. It’s not that I don’t trust you; I want my father-in-law to see my capabilities."

Though he’s now the manager at Elysian, the job is difficult, especially with Sierra Sinclair by his side putting pressure on him, making him feel somewhat suffocated.

His ambition is too great; he desires more.

He even aims to surpass Julian Lancaster.

"I know, although the pregnancy is fake, I really took a hard fall, and besides, we haven’t achieved much yet. Wouldn’t it be bad for him to see? Could we wait until we’re better prepared before inviting him over?"

Vincent hesitated, but eventually agreed, "Alright, alright, I’ll do as you say."

Seeing Vincent finally abandon this idea, Sierra Sinclair breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, regarding Nina Sinclair’s matter, it wasn’t too much of a loss. At least, in the short term, she could use this excuse not to see Byron Sinclair, so her non-heiress status wouldn’t be exposed.

Before Sierra could be happy, Vincent said, "In a few days, our new product launch will take place, let’s invite him over then."

Sierra Sinclair’s body tensed up, but she had already used an excuse to politely refuse. Refusing again would certainly arouse his suspicion.

She must quickly step up and make Elysian Jewels successful!

...

Nina Sinclair took Julian Lancaster to another store in the corner of the mall, this store seemed to have fewer people, and they didn’t wait long before they entered to dine.

Soon after sitting down, the dishes were quickly served.

Although they encountered someone off-putting, Nina Sinclair wasn’t affected, instead, she ate very happily, whereas Julian Lancaster, having been a clothes hanger for another man, seemed to have lost his appetite.

Nina Sinclair glanced at Julian Lancaster and noticed he wasn’t moving his chopsticks much.

She questioned, puzzled, "Why aren’t you eating? Is it not to your taste?"

"No."

Nina Sinclair sighed, "But I also think it doesn’t taste very good. If we were eating the chain grilled fish Ethan recommended, you’d definitely feel differently."

She chuckled, "But it’s okay, we can eat it some other time when we have the chance."

Julian Lancaster’s hand holding the chopsticks paused, instantly losing even more appetite.

Ethan Sherman’s recommendation tasted good, and Nina Sinclair wanted to try it.

And she wanted to bring him along.

Adding on top of the clothes-testing for Ethan earlier, Julian Lancaster felt an unexplainable anger rising in him. He coldly said, "That grilled fish isn’t good."

Nina Sinclair wasn’t suspicious of him, rather, she was puzzled, "Ah? Really? I remember it has quite a lot of good reviews. Is it really bad?"

Julian Lancaster said seriously, "Paid reviewers creating positive feedback."

"What? Even a food store plays this game?"

After hearing this, Nina Sinclair’s desire for the grilled fish diminished significantly.

She picked a piece of food and placed it in Julian’s bowl, smiled, "Alright then, I won’t keep thinking about that grilled fish. Let’s hurry and eat."

Julian Lancaster glanced faintly, realizing Nina Sinclair had served all the meat to him.

The fire he had been holding in dissipated somewhat.

After finishing their meal, Nina Sinclair insisted on paying the bill, and they drove back to Royal Vista Estates.

In the car, Nina Sinclair took out her phone to send a message to Ethan.

Told him that she made up for it by not letting Julian Lancaster know about the plan to buy clothes for him, planning to secretly give them to him tomorrow, to surprise him.

Ethan Sherman, after hearing this, chuckled a few times at his phone; Nina Sinclair really showed great potential, catching on quickly!

Feeling like he’s getting closer to having a golden-brother-in-law soon.

Subsequently, Ethan praised Nina Sinclair for her wit and cleverness, congratulating her on her upcoming success.
