novelThe Princess Of C Island
| ← Ch.262 | Ch.264 → |
John was currently in Time Group.
After getting off from work, he was going to the dinner party arranged by Nina to welcome Michelle.
However, the moment he was about to head for the door, Amy and Lena came in.
Nina wasn't with them.
"Please punish us, Mr. Shi. We failed to stop Mrs. Shi from leaving." Amy and Lena bowed their heads and apologized.
"Where did she go?" John asked. Since they weren't able to stop her, it meant that Nina left on her own accord.
She wasn't kidnapped, so it wasn't supposed to be a big deal.
John frowned at the thought. What if something happened when no one followed her?
He glanced at the two women who still had their heads bowed down."Why didn't you follow her?"
Amy bit her lip."Mrs. Shi left with a man. He didn't allow us to..."
"A man?" The atmosphere suddenly became tense as John's eyes narrowed.
"It's not like that, " Lena said."Mrs. Shi left with her brother, Mr. Lu. We tried to follow them but we were stopped by his man."
John blinked a few times while he tried to process the new piece of information."Who?" His eyes gradually softened and understanding dawned upon him. He recalled Nina mentioning her brother in her sleep.
So, it was true that Nina did have a brother.
Why did her brother suddenly appear now?
"Mr. Lu looks exactly like Mrs. Shi. She told us that she wouldn't be coming back tonight and de, however, Henry thought that John definitely had good taste. After all, he married the princess of C Island.
John's brows furrowed at Henry's reaction.
Seeing how Henry hesitated, he couldn't help but become suspicious.
Was his wife still human?
John leaned comfortably against his soft chair and lazily flipped the pages of the documents with his slender hand.
His eyes darted back and forth the contents of the document, and after a while, his eyes narrowed.
John tried to process the words that he was reading."Nina Lu, the princess of C Island..."
As soon as realization hit him, John tensed up. He stared with wide eyes at the photo of Nina in the carriage from what Henry had seen earlier.
John blinked for a couple of times and never took his eyes off the paper in his hand.
He kept on replaying the words he had read. Nina was the princess of C Island.
John was at a loss for words.
Perhaps the chair had been so slippery that John slipped from his chair and fell to the floor.
He landed on his butt with a loud thud.
The recent piece of information had blown him away.
"Mr. Shi!" Henry tried to reach out but he failed to catch him on time.
Even Richard wasn't able to help John.
He looked petrified and couldn't even move a muscle.
Richard had seen the information as well and it left him shocked.
Nina was the princess of C Island.
