Only you in my love

Chapter 136 Harrison Is Someone Else's Fiance

Everything returned to normal. Everyone continued to drink, talk, and laugh.

When Kristina saw Chester and Dora, she called to them. "Dora, Chester, you're here. I'm so happy to

see both of you," she exclaimed.

"Hello, Aunt Kristina." Chester and Dora came to Kristina and greeted her with the inherent dignity and

elegance. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Such good kids." Kristina and Jessica were close friends. Kristina often came over to the Shi family

villa. She liked them very much.

They were both smart and quick-witted, and they were fun to be around.

Still wanting to know Nina's identity, Dora asked Kristina, "Aunt Kristina, who is that dashing lady?"

"That dashing lady?" Kristina glanced Albert and wondered who Dora was talking about.

"Nina," Albert answered with a smile. "She's a student in L University."

Chester nodded slightly. It turned out that the aunt James would not stop talking about was named

Nina.

"Do you know her, Albert? Can you introduce her to me?" This was the first time that Dora saw Nina,

but Dora already wanted to take Nina as her teacher. Nina's quick and smooth movement and

commanding aura captivated her. Those were traits that she lacked, and she wanted to learn them

from Nina.

Albert nodded, "Okay."

"Let's go while the dinner party hasn't started yet." Dora turned around and saw John.

"Uncle John? You really came." Dora was surprised and delighted. She thought that he was going to

get engaged to Vivian this evening.

"Yes. I'm looking for someone." John's eyes swept across the entire banquet hall, but he did not see

Nina. He frowned, and a hint of worry flashed through his eyes.

When John came to see Jessica, she just told him something unimportant. After a while, he realized

that something was wrong, and then he came looking for Nina in a hurry.

He was told that somebody would be sent to accompany Nina to the banquet hall. Why was she not

here?

"Looking for someone?" Dora mistakenly thought that John was looking for Vivian, so she said

innocently, "It may take more than half an hour more for Aunt Vivian to join the festivities."

"No, I'm not looking for Vivian," John replied. He took out his phone and checked Nine's location. The

dog had a GPS microchip so that John could find him anytime anywhere. It showed that he was in the

banquet hall.

He looked around and shouted, "Nine! Come here, boy!"

Nine, who was sleeping soundly in one corner, suddenly sat up, his ears raised. He looked around but

did not see Nina. He began to walk around.

When he saw John, he dashed through the crowd toward him, wagging his tail wildly. He was so

excited to see his owner.

John bent down and scratched Nine's head. Nina was still nowhere to be found.

"Where's Nina, Nine? Weren't you with her?" John asked. Nine seemed to have understood the cold

look in John's eyes. He then turned around and ran outside to look for Nina.

Nine had a good sense of smell, and John believed that he would soon find Nina.

"Wow, Uncle John! Is that your dog? His name is Nine? He's so adorable." Dora loved dogs, so she got

excited when she saw Nine trot toward John.

John was too anxious to hear Dora's comment. He did not say anything more. He simply nodded and

turned around to follow Nine in search for Nina. If something happened to Nina, he would never be able

to forgive himself.

"Are you looking for Henry, Mr. Shi?" Albert deliberately stopped him.

He knew that the person John was looking for was Nina. He had spies in all the rich and powerful

families of Lexingport City. He knew nearly everything about them.

John glanced at Albert and frowned at the polite expression on his face. He saw right through the man.

His eyes might look gentle, but John could sense the malice lurking beneath.

"Why don't you stay and have a drink? I'm sure Henry will find you soon." John remained on his spot

and did not say anything. At present, the three most powerful families in the city, minded their own

business and did not interfere with one another. They respected one another's turf to keep the peace

and maintain balance.

Albert took two glasses of red wine from the waiter and handed one of them to John, intending to keep

him where he was.

Seeing this, Kristina left with Chester and Dora.

"I'd like to propose a toast to you, Mr. Shi. Thank you for sending Henry to my brother. Because of

Henry, my brother runs the business of his subsidiary very well." Albert expressed his gratitude and

raised his glass.

However, his heart was filled with viciousness.

He had planned to test Adrian with a badly run subsidiary. If he could bring the company back on track,

it meant that he truly had the ability to run a business. If the company continued to lay in ruin, then it

would mean that he was incompetent and that Albert was the better businessman.

It would mean that the Song family would be under Albert's control forever.

Albert did not expect that John would send a capable assistant to help Adrian manage the business.

Not only did the company go back on track, but its profits also increased by three percent. It really

pissed Albert off.

He could not determine Adrian's real strength, so he had to think of other ways to test him.

It was really troublesome!

Albert was a man of few words. It was difficult for ordinary people to read his mind.

However, John had seen what kind of person Albert actually was. He could see right through his

angelic facade and discern the malicious intent in his heart.

"Adrian is my friend. Of course I will help him in any way I can." John withdrew his gaze and looked at

his glass of red wine. The wine sloshed around inside the goblet, reminding John of the current

situation between the Shi and Song families.

One slight move could rattle the already fragile world the two families were living in. One tiny action

could cause severe consequence.

"It's my brother's honor." Albert raised his glass and downed its contents with one gulp, just like how he

planned to take over Lexingport City.

The two men looked calm, but they were actually waging a secret war that could make or break the city

they called home.

Outside the Ye family estate

Nina dragged Adela out as if she was hauling a chicken. Nina loosened her grip, and Adela stumbled

again. She pulled off the square towel she stuffed in her mouth and threw it on the ground.

"How dare you hit me? Why are you treating me like this? I'm a member of the Zhu family."

"Really? You're asking me why?" Nina looked down at Adela. "I never explain my actions to anyone."

'Don't you have any idea why?' she thought to herself.

Every time what happened at the campus forum was mentioned, Nina thought about how her former

friend schemed against her and betrayed her.

Isabella was her first friend in her life, the first one that meant a lot to her.

What happened on the campus forum left a huge crack in Nina's heart, and she would break the bones

of anyone who dared poke that painful crack with a stick.

"Nina, please. You can't hurt me. My uncle and Harrison will hunt you down and make you pay." At this

time, Adela could only tell Nina about all her backers, the Zhu family and the He family, in an attempt to

scare her. Then, she began shouting, "Harrison! Harrison! Where are you? Help me! Help me, please!"

"Harrison?" Frowning, Nina added, "Harrison He?"

Adela was still crying. "How do you know him?" Adela stared at Nina bitterly, her red and swollen eyes

full of resentment.

"What's your relationship with Harrison?" Nina asked, remembering what Michelle said in her letter.

"Why should I tell you?" Adela slowly stood up, her palms scratched and bleeding.

"Tell me!"

Nina clenched her fists. Frightened, Adela said with a pale face, "Harrison is my fiance."

"Fiance?" Nina remembered that day at the hospital, Haley said that Emma was Harrison's girlfriend. If

that were true, then how could Adela be Harrison's fiancee?
