Nina leaned back in her seat, watching Andrew from beneath her lashes. Her fingers curled around the stem of her half-empty wine glass.
Thanks to the dim lights of the club that had helped in making her face unreadable. Andrew was eyeing her casually, swirling his whiskey in his glass.
There was a playful grin on his face that Nina was trying hard to ignore. She had told him already that she couldn’t accompany him because she was with Valerie. Now the same daughter-in-law was nowhere in sight.
Nina thought of her, gritting her teeth secretly.
"You know?" he began in a teasing voice, "Why don’t you just leave your daughter-in-law here? Just... let her enjoy the night,"
Like a desperate kitten, Nina again looked at the bar counter where Valerie had disappeared.
"She is probably off dancing somewhere, having the time of her life," he drawled.
The man had a point. Valerie left the table to get their drinks and drinks could never take that long.
"You don’t need to babysit her, Mrs. Sinclair. Why don’t you change your mind and come with me instead?" He was leaning ahead, his eyes never leaving hers, "White Palace is just a ten-minute drive away. Don’t you want to see it from inside?"
Yes. Yes. I want to see it from the inside! And I’m also interested in buying it.
Her insides were screaming but she didn’t want to act as a despo in front of him. Her gaze flickered towards the bar, there was still no sign of Valerie.
Her fingers tightened around the glass.
Even if Val was busy enjoying, she could have at least let Nina know. The crowd was thickening with each passing minute.
No matter what Valerie did to her, she couldn’t take the risk of making her mad. She was an important key to shoo Marissa away from their lives.
She wanted the two sisters to get busy in killing each other while Nina could ask Geena to take care of Rafael.
Andrew followed her gaze to the bar and chuckled, "Come on. She isn’t a baby," he repeated, "Take your mind off her. Let your son deal with her. We can make our plans if you’re interested," he said with an easy smile. freewebnøvel.com
Nina hesitated, biting her lips as she weighed her options.
White Palace or Valerie?
Valerie was important for her plans, but she couldn’t quit enjoying her life. Moreover, she wanted to see the legendary White Palace.
This man could tell her who bought it. If there wasn’t any final contract drawn, then she could persuade him to sell it to her.
And then she reminded herself one more thing. Last time, Valerie left her all alone in that restaurant, not caring how disrespected Nina could feel. Why should Nina care now?
Tonight, she wouldn’t hesitate to leave Valerie either. Just this time, she wanted to take revenge. Later she could come up with any excuse.
Right?
She swirled her wine, bringing the glass to her lips as she took a slow sip. She could feel his waiting eyes on her face.
Sorry, Valerie. But I tried. White Palace needs me.

I was into the story but then the translator who was translating it for whatever language to English stopped translating half the words are half English and another language it's very hard to follow a book when you can't understand what the written word is translators need to do better...
