CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 35: NINA SINCLAIR IS NOT PREGNANT

Nina Sinclair said bitterly, "Who said it? I’m going to find them and settle this!"

How dare they spread rumors and tarnish her reputation.

Julian Lancaster’s handsome face stiffened, remembering that Felix Ford hadn’t actually said it was Nina, he just mentioned someone approached Vincent Lancaster, and Julian subconsciously assumed it was Nina.

Seeing Nina’s indignant expression, he pressed his lips together and stayed silent.

Of course, he couldn’t give Felix away.

Before he could speak, Nina used her good hand to take out her phone, opened the message Sharon Lancaster had sent her, and held it up to him.

"There, look, it was Sharon who discovered Vincent Lancaster with another woman and arranged the whole setup, so I went to watch the scene. I didn’t lie to you."

After reading the message, Julian realized he truly misunderstood.

The person who confronted Vincent that day wasn’t Nina; everything was due to his doubts about Vincent’s character leading to a misunderstanding.

So Nina was not pregnant.

It seemed there was no clear evidence of her pregnancy; it was all his assumption that it was normal for Nina and Vincent, who had been dating for three years, to be expecting.

"I’m obviously still a maiden, yet I’m misunderstood as pregnant. It’s really unfair. Who is so lacking in virtue to spread false rumors and malign me?"

Nina still felt aggrieved, unable to help but complain.

Julian Lancaster: "..." It seemed the one lacking virtue was him.

He steadied himself, looked at Nina and asked, "You and Vincent dated for three years, and didn’t even spend time together?"

"No!"

Nina couldn’t help but think, is this why Sierra Sinclair could so easily walk away with him?

Luckily, she didn’t give herself away; otherwise, she’d certainly feel worse than being bitten by a dog.

However, discussing a former boyfriend, let alone this topic in front of another man, seemed quite awkward. Her face showed an embarrassed look, and she averted her gaze uneasily.

Julian’s eyes softened and his expression was gentle as he looked at Nina, saying, "You should rest well. Don’t worry about anything else; I’ll handle it for you."

Nina wanted to ask how he’d handle it, but Julian was already walking away.

Outside in the corridor, Felix Ford hurried over.

"President Lancaster, we’ve discovered that someone was on the expressway last night and have them in custody. How do you plan to handle this?"

Julian’s face turned cold, "Who is it?"

"James Aldridge, the planning department manager at Zenith Corporation."

Julian had no impression of this person. James Aldridge’s position was far too removed from him; how did Nina provoke him to the point he’d try to put her in harm’s way?

"Where is he?" Julian asked coldly.

Felix knew Julian intended to interrogate James personally, and he immediately led the way as they left the hospital together.

Inside the ward, Nina’s hand was wrapped in a thick cast. The doctor said it would help her heal faster. Single-handedly, she took out her phone to message Sharon and inform her about the injury.

A knock sounded at the door; she thought it was a nurse or Julian returning, so without looking up, she said, "Come in."

"Nina."

Hearing the familiar voice, Nina’s body stiffened, her pupils constricted slightly, and she looked up toward the doorway.

Standing outside was a middle-aged man in a crisp suit, looking distinguished and exuding male charm, as if time especially favored him, leaving no trace on his face.

His eyes carried affection, looking at her with concern.

Seeing the visitor, Nina’s face quickly turned somber, her attitude not very friendly as she coldly said, "What are you doing here?"
