Chapter 329 The talisman

As soon as this idea came out, the last bit of resentment in Nild’s heart caused by being humiliateddisappeared.

Instead, there was a huge sense of fear in her heart.

If Natalie was really the Miss Spears….

She recalled every thing she had done to Natalie and every word she had said.

At that time, she thought that Natalie was just a “stray dog” who was ignored and bullied by others inthe orphanage. So she had been so mean to Natalie, without any concerns.

But now…

Niki’s heart trembled slightly, and she couldn’t help but shiver.

If Natalie really wanted to get back at her with the identity of Miss Spears….

Niki couldn’t imagine what would happen to her.

She was afraid that Natalie would pay her back thousand times as much.

Niki’s face turned pale, her heart was in a mess, and an increasingly strong sense of fear was about toexplode in her

chest.

At this time, Julian finally drew a little attention to Niki, who had a horror-stricken face.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?”

He lowered his eyes to look at her.

At this moment, Niki was shackled by the surging fear, and she couldn’t even hear what Julian wassaying.

Her hands began to tremble, reaching uncontrollably towards her waist, trying to touch the talisman..

But after groping for a long time, she didn’t touch it.

She suddenly remembered that she had put the talisman in the suitcase!

Niki’s eyelashes trembled, and she instinctively turned around to replace the suitcase.

She hurriedly turned around and headed straight for the car, not even stepping firmly on her feet,almost falling to the ground.

While running, she was muttering, praying for it not to be lost.

Julian frowned. He took a step forward and wanted to help her.

But Niki was all focused on the talisman. She stumbled up from the ground, shook off Julian’s hand,and kept running

forward with her skirt’s hemline in her hand.

Julian was stunned as he lowered his head and looked at his hand that had been thrown away byNiki… A hint of surprise rose in his heart.

Niki clearly had something hidden in her heart.

She had always been obedient to him, gentle and impatient. She had never been a situation like todaywhere she directly shook off his hand.

Julian’s eyes deepened and he gazed thoughtfully at Niki’s panicked figure, feeling suspicious in hisheart.

Since the time when the bodyguard of the Spears family showed great respect to Natalie, she hadbeen weird… Now, she seemed even more anxious than then.

“What’s wrong with her?” Julian wondered.

The place where they parked was far from the front door of Spears Mansion. Niki jogged all the waydown countless stairs and a far distance, and finally stopped in front of the car, panting heavily.

She bent down slightly and took a deep breath of fresh air.

She was so anxious that even felt that taking a big breath was a waste of time.

Before she could take a break, she came straight to the back of the car and pulled open the royal bluetrunk.

Inside lied a black suitcase.

Niki’s suitcase was very heavy. She thought she could take the opportunity to come to New York tobond with her

Julian.

So she pakced all kinds of thing in case of unexpected needs.

But at this moment, Niki seemed to have no sense of weight at all, and with a stretch of her hand, shedragged the suitcase and strap onto the ground.

The suitcase lay flat on the ground, and she eagerly unzipped it, searching for the talisman amongcountless clothes.

There were many clothes, bottles, cans, and other things that were scattered all over the ground due toher rummaging around.

Niki didn’t care about these things. She turned the entire case upside down and finally found thetalisman.

The circular talisman lay quietly in the deepest part of the suitcase, with a special material that reflectsa piercing light in the sunlight.

The moment Niki saw it, her eyes lit up and she eagerly took it out of the suitcase and carefully placedit in her hand.

Although the talisman on Niki’s hand was a fake, its texture felt real.

The talisman was in a circular shape, and the handcraft was sophisticated. It brought a full sense ofancient

simplicity. The word “Spears” on it was deep and eye-catching.

Natalie’s talisman was exactly like this!

Seeing that the talisman was still there, Niki felt relaxed a bit.

She carefully recalled the talismans she had seen from Natalie before, and compared it with the one infront of her. Every part of them was same.

Niki’s hand holding the talisman gradually tightened, and she got a complex look in her eyes.

So, it was a little more certain about Natalie’s identity as the Miss Spears.

“Niki, what are you doing here?”

Julian’s voice rang from behind.

Julian lowered his eyes and looked at the mess on the ground, with clothes, cosmetics, mirrors allscattered on the ground.

He looked at Niki with an incredulous look, his eyes full of confusion. And hearing his voice, Nick wasstartled, subconsciously hiding the talisman behind her.

“What are you hiding?”

Julian seemed suspicious and immediately strode forward, approaching Niki.

“Not… nothing.”

Niki shook her head and put on an innocent face, trying to muddle through.

Julian’s eyes were as sharp as eagles’, and such obvious movements could not have escaped hiseyes.

“show me.”

Julian said in a low tone, without any fluctuations.

The less fluctuation there was, the more it showed his current mood.

Niki lowered her head, avoided his gaze, and tightly grasped the talisman with both hands, not lookingat him.

She couldn’t show it to Julian.

If Julian had seen this talisman from Natalie…

Her lies would be exposed!

“Give it to me.” Julian approached step by step, his words filled with a sense of oppression.

Niki still shook her head.

Get Boncis

It seemed that Natalie’s behavior today had already made him feel the frustration of losing control.

Therefore, Julian was particularly impatient now.

The feeling of uncertainty and mystery of Natalie’s identity made Julian unwilling to experience it again.

“Niki Linch.”

He called out her name word for word, and what it meant is self-evident.

As the CEO of the company for many years, Julian got a strong and frightening aura. Niki’s neck wassweating profusely, and she felt overwhelmed.

Even if she didn’t give it to him, Julian would definitely come up and get it.

So Niki closed her eyes and gave in.

“Here you are…”

She opened her palm and the ancient talisman lay quietly in her palm.

Julian looked at this talisman with surging memories.

The sunny and clear afternoon, the damp riverbank, himself who had just come from the river, thebeautiful and gentle eyes of the girl, the blurred vision, the faint outline… and the talisman thatrefracted a dazzling light under her

gaze…

These fragmented things were combined together, which was the day when Julian and his unrequitedlove first met.

The leap of his heart of that day was still vivid in his mind.

Julian couldn’t see the girl’s face clearly, only managed to see the talisman on her.

Later on, he almost relied on talisman to identify his unrequited love.

“You…” Julian lowered his eyes and looked at the talisman, but halfway through his words, he stopped.

Niki held her breath and stared at Julian’s face.

She silently prayed in her heart that Julian must never see the real one on Natalie

Or she would be screwed.
