CHAPTER 79: CHAPTER 79: THE GRAND ENGAGEMENT PARTY

After Nina Sinclair rented the dress, Sharon Lancaster drove her back to the apartment.

In the following days, she went to Zenith to paint every day. Perhaps because Vincent Lancaster and Sierra Sinclair were too busy, she didn’t bump into them again.

It actually made her feel that life was much better.

Unfortunately, Julian Lancaster still hadn’t returned from his business trip, which made Nina a bit worried. Could he make it back on Vincent Lancaster’s engagement day?

Sharon Lancaster had assuredly told her that Julian would definitely return.

Nina chose to trust her good friend, and simultaneously also to trust Julian.

In the days that followed, Nina spent her time alone, painting, going home, eating, and sleeping, strictly following a routine. Julian occasionally sent messages, but he seemed busy most of the time.

She understood that Julian was accompanying a client and it wasn’t convenient to chat, so she didn’t disturb him much.

In no time, Vincent Lancaster and Sierra Sinclair’s engagement day arrived.

Early in the morning, Nina Sinclair and Sharon Lancaster were already at Jenna’s Atelier, where they got a gorgeous makeover, and then both got into the car to head to the engagement venue.

The engagement party was held in The Peony Garden, located in Veridia.

The Peony Garden was inside The Dreamwood Keep.

This castle only hosted VIP guests; ordinary people didn’t have the status to hold weddings here. Only those of noble identity could book open slots.

Seated in the passenger seat, Nina watched the scenery retreating and felt a bit tense inside.

The battle was about to start, but Julian Lancaster still hadn’t shown up.

She turned to Sharon and asked worriedly, "Sharon, has Julian really returned to Veridia? Are you sure?"

He was the key person; without him here, Nina felt somewhat uneasy.

Sharon patted her chest assuredly, saying, "Don’t worry; he returned last night. I diverted my brother to another location; he’ll be here soon."

Upon hearing this, Nina’s heart settled.

So she didn’t need to worry about the real Julian showing up and exposing her; she could boldly use the impostor Julian to put Vincent in his place.

The Dreamwood Keep.

It was already beautifully decorated. Peony flowers blossomed all over the garden, adorned with balloons and sheer fabric, creating a stunning romantic atmosphere that made one feel sweet just being there.

Today, Vincent Lancaster was dressed in a white suit, looking exceptionally handsome and charming.

Sierra Sinclair stood beside him, welcoming the arriving guests together.

Today Sierra wore a white haute couture dress designed by a famous designer, adorned with sparkling diamonds that shone brightly under the lights. The high-slit design revealed her curves, making her both alluring and sexy.

She exuded high-profile flamboyance, and the two looked like a perfect match, resembling a golden couple.

Vincent used the engagement party to invite many wealthy figures from the financial world, who in turn brought several celebrities, filling the scene with famous faces, prompting the photographers to keep clicking their cameras.

Not far from the parking lot, a low-profile car parked discreetly in place.

Nina peered through the car window and saw Vincent and Sierra at the entrance greeting guests.

She glanced at her phone; the time was still early. Julian hadn’t arrived yet, so there was no rush to go in.

Nina said, "Let’s wait a bit longer."

Sharon didn’t object; she simply took out her phone to text Julian, asking when he would arrive, as everything was ready, except for his crucial presence!
