Julia was still preoccupied with Zion's condition when she overheard someone gossiping nearby. Irritated, she remarked, "Lily, you can criticize Zion all you want, but you can't say he doesn't care about Xander! Throughout the years, when has he ever neglected him or failed to clean up his mess? But you can't just turn to him whenever you're in trouble, expecting him to fix everything. What's your own family doing?"In response, Lily Clark sighed, "I'm in a desperate situation now, aren't I? If I had a solution, why would I seek advice from Zion and you guys?"As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes."Mom, don't cry, there's always a solution," her daughter comforted.Julia hadn't cried yet but Lily beat her to it, which was something she couldn't stand. Over the years, their family had been burdened many times, with relatives always coming to them in times of need, but never remembering them in times of prosperity. Out of familial obligation, they never said much. Julia harbor
"Lily, could you be a bit more reasonable? When did I ever try to influence Zion? Look at the state you've reduced him to. What more do you want?" Julia couldn't tolerate her attitude."Fine, then let's get to the point," Lily blurted out, "How was the last two million resolved? Last time, you claimed there was no money, but together, you all found a way. At that time, Xander was scraping every penny, nearly selling his kidney. But in the end, everything was resolved. You said the two million was repaid, so we didn't need to worry."Their smooth repayment of two million had always left them suspicious. They believed their family still had money."Zion, where did you get so much money from? Are Mom and Dad's savings all in your hands? Did you embezzle the money?" Lily asked directly. This was also a sore point for her. She believed that their family took their parents' money without informing them. Surely, they took more than just their fair share.This accusation made Zion cough
Nina inquired, "What's your educational background?"Sue answered, "I graduated from a local university.""We only recruit graduates from prestigious schools. Your credentials don't meet our standards," Nina promptly declined.Sue's demeanor soured, but she plastered on a smile and retorted, "But you're employed there, aren't you? With a cousin like you, the alma mater shouldn't matter."Nina replied icily, "A reputable company adheres to standards. If you're so keen on cutting corners, you'll crumble sooner or later. There won't be any room for you."After being rebuffed repeatedly, Sue grew disgruntled. "Nina, you're just unwilling to lend a hand. That's why you're saying this.""You're well aware of it. If you're always depending on others, you'll be worse off than a beggar when no one lends a hand," Nina's words were cutting."If you won't help me, fine, but why insult me? Mom, look at her!" Sue couldn't bear the humiliation, her eyes turning red with anger.Seeing her daug
Nash stood by the door. He was never someone who could tolerate noise, especially near his father-in-law's sickbed. Upon hearing his arrival, the mother and daughter stopped crying, turning their attention to Nash.Nina looked up, somewhat taken aback to see Nash. She hadn't informed him about this. "Why are you here?" she asked.Nash met her gaze and responded, "The hospital director called me to inform that Dad was sick, so I rushed over from the company.""Dad, Mom," he greeted them first, noticing Zion with a cast on his hand, then inquired, "How is it?"Nina explained, "He had a fracture in his hand bone and needs a few days of rest."Observing the crowded and noisy environment, Nash frowned and remarked, "It's too noisy in here, disturbing Dad's rest. I'll arrange for him to be moved to the VIP ward.""No need for that, I'm not that delicate. Nash, don't trouble yourself," Zion declined.Though not entirely satisfied with Nash, Zion appreciated Nash's concern and couldn't
"Nash."Sue thought it would be wiser to approach Nash rather than Nina. He held more influence in the matter. "Nash, I'll be starting my internship in a month. Could I possibly intern at your company? I'm currently without a place to go temporarily. I just need the internship completion certificate; it won't disrupt your affairs."Lily added, "We're Nina's close relatives. Please assist her so she can secure a good job in the future."Nina furrowed her brows. This seemed like taking advantage of Nash being her husband, attempting to gain from him. It was one thing to benefit from their family before, but now they wanted to benefit from Nash as well.She couldn't help but glance at Nash, concerned that he might form a negative opinion of her family, especially given that it was their first encounter and things were already turning out this way.Moreover, her relationship with Nash wasn't intimate enough for him to be responsible for managing the entire Walker family's affairs. It
Julia was almost driven mad by Lily but her mood lifted, knowing that this couple had a good relationship. As long as her daughter was well, there wasn't much that could trouble her. She also wanted to support their relationship, "Nina, Nash only lends a hand because of you. He treats you well, so you should reciprocate and treat Nash better."Hearing this, Nina glanced at Nash. When did he start pleasing her mother so much to always side with him?Nash was quite pleased and said to Julia, "Mom, it's because you've been saying good things about me."Julia smiled and said, "Of course, I'm not blind. I can naturally see your goodness."Her gaze shifted to Zion.Zion's gaze was fixed on them, filled with both joy and worry. He was happy that Nina married into a good family without much suffering, but worried about how long they could maintain this and whether his daughter was truly happy.After a while, they completed Zion's administrative formalities. He could go home after a week
Her career in acting didn't start off with a bang. During the York Corporation's charity auction gala, Nash publicly distanced himself from her, causing her to feel embarrassed. In the intricate world of the entertainment industry, there were inevitably snide remarks about such situations.Miranda was savvy enough to understand that Nash would support her, making him her strongest ally in the future. After reaching out to Nash at that time, her opportunities expanded.She was occupied with filming and didn't have time to deal with Nina. Nina was also relatively peaceful. She didn't want to bother with these trivial matters.The more she thought about it, the more it upset her. It was better to just let it go.However, Taylor, beside Nina, glanced around and whispered, "Nina, I made a mistake this time. Please don't take it personally. I won't spread rumors about you and Mr. York anymore."Nina looked at her. "What are you saying?"Taylor furrowed her brows. "Mr. York is already m
The receptionist had seen her for several days in a row, and she was quite persistent. The receptionist said, "Let me make a call, please wait."As long as there was hope, Linda held onto anticipation. "Sure, thank you."After the call was made, the receptionist politely replied to Linda, "Miss, Mr. York is not in the office. Please come back another time."It seemed too coincidental that he was always absent whenever she visited. This time, Linda wasn't as compliant. She persistently asked, "Could you call Mr. York? Just tell him Linda has prepared some special dishes and would like him to try them. Once he does, I'll leave."The receptionist had encountered many women trying to curry favor with Nash, and she was just one of them. Wanting to brush her off, the receptionist said, "Mr. York is very busy and doesn't see visitors.""I'm not just anybody, I'm…"Linda was so anxious she was almost in tears, but she couldn't bring herself to say who Nash was to her."Miss, please don'
