Chapter 171 Nancy Mistook Him For Someone Else

However, as she approached, she whispered, “You’re not him. I’m sorry, I mistook you for someone

else.”

The two men had similar heights and builds, both dressed in white shirts and black pants. They even exuded a similar cold demeanor. Moreover, with the dim lighting in the room, Nancy could only see a vague silhouette. Dizzy and disoriented, she had mistaken Julian for Nicholas.

Realizing her mistake, Nancy quickly walked away. However, in her haste, she stumbled and fell forward.

“Ah!” She couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Be careful, Nancy,” Toni shouted, rushing over. Unfortunately, she couldn’t reach Nancy in time due to the distance.

Just as Nancy thought she would hit the ground, a pair of strong arms caught her. The shock snapped her back to reality, and when she looked up, she saw that Julian had caught her. She quickly freed herself from his embrace and softly apologized, “Thank you, Mr. Jadin.”

Julian withdrew his hands and glanced at her, remaining silent throughout.

Toni immediately rushed over to support Nancy. “Are you okay? Did you get hurt?”

“No, I’m fine.”

“That’s good. Let’s go back.” Toni led Nancy back to their spot.
