<h4>Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Why Is He Here</h4>


    At this moment, the social gathering of Veridia’s elite daughters was still lively in the banquet hall downstairs.


    The earlier unpleasantness seemed to have passed, and the otherdies seemed to have collectively forgotten, surrounding Nina Sinir and Sharon Lancaster in conversation.


    Although they didn’t know Nina Sinir’s identity, the Lancaster daughter beside her had just proven her status.


    "Miss Lancaster, we rarely see you, which is why such a misunderstanding happened. You’ll have to attend our events more often in the future."


    "Exactly, it’s all because we didn’t recognize someone so significant. I toast to you."


    Despite rarely attending such asions, Sharon Lancaster handled the crowd’s admiration with ease.


    Nina Sinir curved her lips into a smile, "Sorry, I need to use the restroom."


    She ced the champagne she was holding on a nearby table and walked towards the exit.


    As she passed the entrance, Nina Sinir suddenly stopped. She saw a familiar figure—it was Vincent Lancaster!


    She furrowed her brow slightly. What’s he doing here?


    Vincent Lancaster, dressed in an immacte white suit, appeared like an elegant young gentleman from high society. Beside him was a woman in formal attire, not Sierra Sinir, and she seemed quite unfamiliar.


    The two appeared to be conversing in low voices, their posture intimate and suggestive.


    "Young Master Lancaster, thank you for bringing me here."


    Vincent Lancaster, with one hand in his pocket, shed a charming smile and softly replied, "Hmm, call me when you’re ready to leave. I’ve arranged to taste some wine with friends here, and can take you directly. In the evening, we can go for a drive."


    Thisdy was someone he had just charmed; though she wasn’t significant, she belonged to a well-off family in Veridia, providing him with some useful connections.


    Vincent Lancaster felt that relying solely on Sierra Sinir limited his advancement.


    Thus, he used his identity as a Lancaster to connect with thisdy, hoping she’d attend the Elysian productunch, enhancing his reputation.


    A smile appeared on his lips; tonight, she was his to reel in.


    Thedy slightly blushed upon hearing Vincent Lancaster’s words and nodded shyly before entering the venue.


    Just as Vincent Lancaster was about to leave, he sensed a gaze upon him. He looked up and saw Nina Sinir standing not far away.


    Seeing Nina Sinir, a look of amazement appeared in his eyes.


    Vincent Lancaster’s gaze lingered on Nina Sinir.


    Dressed in a luxurious gown, she looked as stunning as she did on the day of his engagement to Sierra Sinir, instantly captivating him.


    Vincent Lancaster began to walk towards Nina Sinir, but she looked at him with disdain and turned away the moment he moved.


    Watching Nina Sinir vanish from his sight, Vincent Lancaster’s eyes turned dark.


    Nina Sinir, now with Louis Quinn, no longer thought much of him. Even if he wanted to pursue her, he had to consider Louis Quinn.


    It was a pity he hadn’t taken her by force before; truly a missed opportunity!


    If he had, perhaps he could now leverage the rtionship to gain some advantage with Louis Quinn.


    Once outside, Nina Sinir sighed in relief upon realizing Vincent Lancaster hadn’t followed her. She casually grabbed a waiter and asked for directions: "Hi, can you tell me where the restroom is?"


    "Straight ahead, then turn left at the end."


    "Thank you!"


    After entering the restroom, Nina Sinir felt something was off with her body.


    She felt parched, her head was spinning as though weighed down, and her entire body was heating up with an inexplicable sensation.


    It was truly strange. Could she be drunk?
