When Jillian saw that Andrew hadn't said anything for a while, she wrapped her arms around him and sneered, "What? You don't want to do this?"
"I'm telling you, Andrew, if you don't help me destroy Nina this time, you'll see how I'll destroy you!"
Being threatened, Andrew looked up at Jillian and said calmly, "Jillian, you talk about destroying this and that all the time, aren't you afraid that you'll be the one who gets destroyed in the end?"
Jillian's expression froze. She stared at Andrew and asked, "What do you mean? You're going to ruin me?"
Jillian had always thought that she had Andrew in her grasp, never expected Andrew to say that she was the one who would be ruined, and she almost blew a gasket.
Andrew did not continue this topic, put away the glass bottle in his hand and turned to leave; his attitude was not apparent; Jillian was so angry and could not do anything to react.
When she did, Andrew had already left and was going to the restaurant Nina had just changed to for the appointment.
Jillian sat down in a chair, gritted her teeth and cursed, "Nina! How dare you trick me like this? I'm not done with you!
Nina used a relapse of stomach ache as an excuse to change restaurants on the spur of the moment, probably because she had found out about Andrew's foul play with her. Jillian did not expect her relationship with Andrew to be so well hidden but was still discovered by Nina. The sudden turn of events was frustrating.
Nina has changed restaurants so suddenly that it's too late for her to make other arrangements, so she could only hope that Andrew would follow her plan and set Nina up.
If she gets rid of Nina, no one is left to stand in her way.
Of course, Jillian didn't trust Andrew completely, so she took her mobile phone and called Andrew's assistant, whom she had bribed, and told him that if Andrew didn't follow her plan, he should take some photos of Andrew with Nina so that she could use them afterwards.
The impromptu restaurant change was a plan that Nina and Cameron had worked out together. They had learned about Andrew's relationship with Jillian and that Jillian was in Hazelton today, so they deduced that the dinner with Andrew tonight was gonna be Walder Frey's Red Wedding.
Cameron definitely would not let Nina under Jillian's threat, so he decided to change the restaurant, which he had sent away all the irrelevant people so that no one would know what was going on in the restaurant tonight.
Cameron was naturally with Nina as she went back to the hotel to remove her make-up and change, so Sylvie retreated to her room to tidy up.
Cameron told Nina what Lucien thought of Sylvie, and Nina laughed her head off, "So the blind date we tried to set up for them didn't work out, but they met privately on their own?"
"Maybe that's called fate?" Before wrapping his arms around Nina from behind, Cameron said as she looked in the mirror to remove her make-up.
Nina was overjoyed, "So after we're done with Andrew, we'll ask them to join us for dinner?"
"Yeah." Cameron lamented, "I was planning to have dinner with you alone tonight."
It had been a long time since they had seen each other, and he had wanted nothing more than to give her all of his time.
But now, because he had to match Lucien and Sylvie, he and Nina couldn't just leave Lucien alone with Sylvie; it was a bit awkward, so the two of them had to keep company.
Nina gave him an eye roll, "We have plenty of time to be alone. Just give them both the opportunity first."
Andrew's assistant was in no mood to eat. He thought he had to help Jillian if Andrew's plan didn't work out, so he didn't even look at the menu and said, "I'm not hungry."
"I'm going to the washroom." He said and tried to get up from the chair, but two bulky men behind him had one hand on his shoulder, pinning him to the chair.
Sylvie didn't show much expression, just stared at him slyly and asked, "Are you sure you're not hungry? Are you sure you have to go to the washroom?"
Andrew's assistant had been furious and wanted to leave the room, but somehow, after Sylvie had asked him a couple of sly questions, he instantly lost his nerve, especially when he thought two tough men were standing behind him.
"I... I..."
"I'm a bit hungry too, so let's eat first."
He met Sylvie's calm gaze for a few seconds before wimping out and stopping struggling to get up, opting to order his food and eat.
Sylvie saw that he had the sense to read the room, then gave a wink to the two brawny men, who let go of Andrew's assistant and stepped aside while Andrew's assistant took the menu and came over to order.
But he had just ordered two dishes when Sylvie jerked the menu away, saying nonchalantly, "You're not being too gentlemanly. Are you going to order a table for yourself? Can't you see that I'm still here? Don't you know how to care for a lady's preferences?"
Sylvie had always been annoyed by Andrew's assistant, who was too calculating to be a man. Now seeing that he only ordered food for himself, Sylvie blew her stacks directly.
