Chapter 308 The branch of the Spears family
Upon hearing this, Julian slowly raised his head, with an incomprehensible emotion in his deep pupils.
Niki thought he didn’t understand her words.
She spoke slowly again, “Julian… didn’t you hear what I just said?”
“I just told you…”
Before she could finish speaking, Julian raised his arm to interrupt her.
Niki was confused. She had to cease speaking.
“Julian, 1…”
Niki saw no sign of surprise on Julian’s face. He even frowned harder than before.
It was weird. Niki didn’t know why.
Niki’s initial pride immediately diminished by half, and she couldn’t understand what Julian was thinking at the This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
moment.
Actually, she just said that to earn Julian’s favor. She didn’t take her words seriously. She didn’t want Oliver to be cured.
Moreover, Niki was only from a collateral branch of the Spears family. She used to call herself Ms. Spears to gain vanity.
But in fact, she was just from a small branch and had no right to see the head of the Spears family.
Niki said that just to make Julian value her.
She wanted Julian to know that she was much better than Natalie, who could do nothing for him. She was the one that could help him when he was in difficulty.
Natalie could do nothing for Julian.
But now Julian seemed not to believe this chance could get work. Niki didn’t know why.
Niki had thought that Julian would appreciate her and take her as his hope in his desperation. At last, his heart would come back to her.
Things should be gone in this way.
There was no way else to save Oliver. This was the last chance. Julian should catch it hard. How could Julian be so cold? Did she speak something wrong?
Niki’s eyelashes trembled gently, but she couldn’t figure out when she had made a mistake.
“Julian… you don’t think I can do this?”
“The Spears family is mysterious and rarely gets along with others.”
“I come from its branch. I have my way to find it.”
“Julian, you don’t need to worry, I can help you handle it. Rest assured.”
Niki found it possible that Julian didn’t believe that she could find the Spears family.
Julian stood with his hands on his back, his expression unpredictable under the moonlight. “You want to take me to Dr. Spears?”
“Yes.” Niki nodded.
The man suddenly chuckled, seeming to find her words somewhat absurd.
“Julian… don’t you believe me? I can do it.” Niki was a bit anxious.
Before she could finish speaking, Julian suddenly changed his expression, his eyes cold and indifferent, and there seemed to be anger burning on his forehead.
“Why didn’t you say it when I spent so much money for getting the invitation?”
“On the way from Chicago to Los Angeles, you mentioned time and time again that I failed to find Dr. Spears. But you have never mentioned that you know the specific location of the Spears family before.”
“Niki, you take me as a fool?”.
Although his tone was not high, the powerful aura he emitted made the air somewhat silent and stuffy.
Niki froze.
Julian’s questioning echoed in her mind…
She had just been preoccupied with wanting to impress men. She hadn’t thought about it.
She didn’t expect Julian to be so meticulous and asked this question.
Niki’s forehead was sweating a bit. She didn’t know what to say.
She didn’t know how to reply.
She couldn’t say that she watched him spend so much for the invitation aside deliberately, and bid her chance to tell him that she could help him when he was in desperation.
“Why didn’t you speak?” Julian raised his tone, and a sense of oppression immediately came up.
Niki was startled and quickly grabbed his clothes.
“Julian… I wanted to say it before, but…”
Her mind ran wildly. She tried to figure out a way to fix this. But she failed.
Julian was smart. If she casually made up a few excuses, he would see through them in no seconds.
She didn’t want to get him more furious.
Julian raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman. He waited for her explanation quietly.
Niki was scared. She stammered, “Julian… I…”
Julian’s patience ran out. He was going to leave her to go back to the room.
Niki was instantly anxious, and she grabbed him.
Julian frowned and turned back.
“Julian, I didn’t say it before because I was afraid that you might disdain me… It’s all my fault. I am so sorry.”
As Niki spoke, tears instantly filled her eyes, and a trickle of tears seeped out of her pitiful large eyes. She looked pitiful.
“You are afraid I might look down on you?” Julian stopped as he stepped out. “Why?”
Niki bit her lips wrongly, sobbing. “Previously, I told you that I enjoyed a high status in the Spears family, but in fact, 1 didn’t.”
“Although I am from the Spears family, I am only from a subsidiary of the Spears family and I am not favored.”
Julian stared at her. Although his tone was still cold, it was much better than just now. “Why did you lie to me?”
“I just want to look useful. I don’t want to stay next to you like a waste.”
“If you think I am useful, I can stay by your side.” Niki lowered her head, with a guilty attitude..
“The Spears family wouldn’t take my words seriously.”
“The only thing I can do is to help you find the location of the Spears’ residence.”
Julian’s face looked sullen.
“You think I am that snobbish?”
He never felt that Niki could be with him only when she was useful.
He had loved him since he was very young. Even if she didn’t do anything, he would treat her well.
Niki seemed a bit timid. After some hesitation, she said, “I..”
“Don’t be afraid, just speak up your thoughts,” Julian comforted in a voice.
He didn’t know which step he had done wrong before, which made Niki so afraid of him.

“Previously, you felt that I dressed improperly at the banquet, and didn’t behave decently. I couldn’t compare with
Natalie in any way.”
“I know that I can’t do anything well and has made you dishonored…”
“So I always want to help you in some way. I don’t want you to think that I am worse than Natalie. I don’t want to be dropped by you.”
Julian was shocked.
Niki lowered her head and continued, “Actually, I had always wanted to take you to New York to find Dr. Spears. But I
was afraid that after you found that I had lied, you wouldn’t like me anymore. So I kept silent.”
“But now Grandpa’s condition is so bad. I have to do anything I can to help him.”
She looked sincere. “In order to save Grandpa’s life, even if I might be eventually abandoned, I still have no regrets.”
What a sweet promise.
Julian hadn’t given his response for a long time.
