CHAPTER 37: CHAPTER 37: BEWARE OF CAPSIZING IN THE GUTTER

Sierra Sinclair climbed up from the ground and took a moment to examine Nina Sinclair, as if assessing her health condition.

Nina Sinclair quickly put on a cold expression and asked, "What are you doing here?"

After getting injured, she did ponder who it could be that sabotaged her.

The biggest suspect was Sierra Sinclair!

After all, she was unfamiliar with Veridia, and the only person with a grudge against her was Sierra. It couldn’t be that Vincent Lancaster was so displeased with her that he wanted her dead, right?

Although Vincent was a bit of a jerk, he wasn’t that malicious.

Now she was still lying in a hospital bed, with no time to deal with Sierra Sinclair for the moment. But once she got better, she’d definitely settle this score with her!

Seeing Nina Sinclair with just some bandages around her and a cast on her hand, still speaking with energy, Sierra couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

She didn’t expect Nina Sinclair to survive.

However, seeing the thick bandages on Nina’s limbs, perhaps she was already crippled. The Lancaster Family would never marry a crippled woman.

Sierra’s mouth curled into a slight, pleased smile.

Nina Sinclair clearly saw the curve of Sierra’s mouth and immediately concluded that Sierra was the one who wanted her dead!

What a venomous woman; she’d already taken her boyfriend and wouldn’t spare her either.

Nina Sinclair, with a steely expression, said, "If you don’t want others to know, you shouldn’t do it yourself. Don’t think you can escape this, be careful or you’ll end up failing spectacularly!"

Seeing Nina’s cold gaze, it was as if she had seen through Sierra’s actions.

Sierra felt a moment of guilt internally.

But quickly regained her courage. Even if Nina Sinclair knew, so what? She had no evidence. It was she who had directed James Aldridge to do it.

James Aldridge had feelings for her and had secretly approached her several times.

How could she leave Vincent Lancaster for him? But she could still use his affection to get him to do things for her. Once the truth came out, James Aldridge would surely be taken away, so she wasn’t afraid of him coming after her.

Nina Sinclair’s threats were utterly ineffective. To Sierra, Nina was like a kitten making a fuss, with no real momentum, looking extremely laughable.

"Nina, what are you talking about? I don’t know," Sierra laughed fearlessly, her eyes full of disdain.

She then looked back at Nina Sinclair and sighed regretfully, "Oh, what a pity, your hand and foot are injured. I wonder if you’ll be able to attend my and Vincent’s engagement party... You might have to come in a wheelchair."

"What’s the point of barking like a dog? It only counts if you actually bite me. I don’t need a wheelchair; if you do, I can buy one for you."

"Who are you calling a dog!" Sierra retorted angrily.

"Of course I mean you. I’ve had a rabies shot, so I’m not afraid of you."

Nina Sinclair, usually soft by nature, was like a pufferfish that wouldn’t let anyone take advantage, even when lying in a hospital bed; she insisted on verbally besting Sierra.

Sierra was indeed infuriated by Nina Sinclair.

But quickly regained her composure, coldly sneering at Nina, "What good is it to win verbally? You’re still the one lying in the hospital."

Nina Sinclair wouldn’t be able to feel pleased for many more days!

Sierra laughed a few times, then strutted out.

The annoying sound finally disappeared, and Nina felt the world quiet down a lot.

At that moment, the room door opened again. Nina thought it was Sierra unwilling to give up, coming back to mock her, and frowned impatiently, "What on earth do you want..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she choked on her words; it was Julian Lancaster who had entered.

Nina Sinclair touched her nose and awkwardly said, "You’re here."

Seeing Nina’s agitated expression, Julian asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"Sierra Sinclair was just here. That woman is truly arrogant! I suspect she’s the one who tampered with my scooter. Once I get better, I definitely won’t let her off," Nina Sinclair said angrily.

Hearing Nina’s words, Julian’s eyes darkened.

The person who acted was James Aldridge, but it was under Sierra Sinclair’s instructions.

He had just returned to Zenith, personally interrogating and discovering this. He instructed Felix Ford to temporarily keep him detained as he hadn’t decided on how to deal with it.

Originally, he thought about sending the person to prison but now had changed his mind.
