Sue added, "Yes, my parents scraped together every penny for my education because of my cousin."In their desperate pursuit of victory, they no longer cared about making sense."Heartless beast!""Shameless scum!"Suddenly, eggs were hurled at Nina, landing right in front of her.Nina glanced over and saw a group of twelve people at the gate, holding eggs and vegetable leaves, all throwing them in her direction.She quickly raised her hands to shield herself.Witnessing this, the security personnel rushed to intervene."Why are you protecting her? She's just a heartless widow who breaks up other people's families! A mere secretary, nothing more than a mistress to others!" one of the egg-throwers shouted.Nina realized that the situation was more serious than she had expected, and it seemed that they had come prepared. When Lily arrived at her door with people throwing things at her, it appeared to be orchestrated.Looking at Lily's smug expression, it was clear that she wante
Not far away, an angry voice could be heard. Julia pushed the wheelchair with Zion sitting in it, clearly enraged.Nina was taken aback. "Dad, how did you get here?"Meanwhile, Lily believed that targeting Nina would solve everything, but she didn't expect Zion to show up. When she saw him, her face turned pale. "Zion..."Zion looked at her sternly. "How dare you bully my daughter. Of course, I had to come! Lily, I always thought you were just a little petty, with some flaws, but I never expected you to be this cruel. You slandered my daughter in front of the media. How could you be so heartless?""But, brother... I didn't...," Lily tried to explain. "I didn't slander her. I just said Nina doesn't respect me as her aunt!"Zion frowned, refusing to listen to any explanation. "What does Nina's reputation mean to you? You see it as nothing more than a tool for your own benefit! Since you want everyone to know, then let them know how many unethical things your family has done!"Lily
Nina harbored suspicions and inquired, "Who was it?"Lily froze momentarily. "I don't know her name. I didn't have the chance to ask. She's a young lady. I was so foolish. How could I believe the words of a stranger?"Realizing she had been deceived, she cried even harder. Meanwhile, Sue couldn't bear the onslaught of insults from online users. Her face pale, she exclaimed, "I'm ruined! No company will hire me for an internship now. Nina, please help me. I won't go to York Corporation for the internship. Please clear my name. I'm not that malicious. How will I face people or find work in the future?"Both Lily and Sue pleaded with Nina for assistance."Nina, I beg you. If not for me, then for your cousin. I'll kneel if I have to!" Lily understood the gravity of the situation and was willing to humble herself for her daughter's sake.Nina remained silent. Being kind to others also meant being cruel to herself.Witnessing their despair, Julia pulled them away. "Don't kneel. It's as
That person resembled someone she knew. She didn't want to make assumptions, but she desired to approach and gain clarity. As she drew closer to the roadside, someone seized her hand."Nina, please forgive me this time. I promise not to harm you again. I realize I was wrong!" Lily was terrified of being apprehended by the police and ending up in jail. If Nina pardoned her, she could avoid that fate. So, she pleaded with her."Let go of me." Nina still yearned to pursue the person who was moving further away. She shook off Lily's grasp.Lily clung tightly, tears welling in her eyes. "Even if you don't care about me, at least consider your uncle and the Walker family. If we both land in trouble, what will your uncle do?""Nina!" Sue knelt in front of Nina. "Please forgive me. I haven't graduated yet, and I don't want to go to jail. I'm about to start an internship, and no company will want me in this situation. I don't want to be looked down upon. I'm your cousin. Can't you release m
Nina waited anxiously outside the operating room, concerned about Nash's well-being. The nail had deeply embedded itself and required surgery for removal. Her main worry was whether any organs had been injured.Julia arrived and asked, "How's Nash?" with a worried expression."He's still in surgery," Nina replied."This Lily is causing trouble, hurting my son-in-law!" Julia exclaimed.Zion remained silent, waiting patiently by the side.Finally, the doctor emerged from the operating room."How is he, doctor?" Julia asked, filled with concern."The nail has been successfully removed. Don't worry, no vital organs were harmed. He'll be discharged after a few days of rest," the doctor reassured.Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.Nina's anxiety started to subside as well.After what happened, Nina couldn't shake off the guilt she felt for Nash's injury. He was still unconscious and had been moved to a regular ward. Nina sat outside, lost in her thoughts. Nash had sel
Sally snorted, her tone filled with coldness. "I'm only doing this for the sake of my son. What good does it do for him to marry your daughter? It's just cleaning up your mess. Besides burdening Nash, what else can your family offer?"Nina interrupted Sally, her expression equally cold. "That's enough!"She knew that Sally looked down on her because of the two million. Even without the money, Sally wouldn't have approved of her marrying into the York family. There was a reason she had agreed to Nash’s grandfather's condition. Initially, she genuinely liked Nash, and her grandfather had recognized that, which was why he arranged for them to get married. If it had been someone else, she wouldn't have agreed to marry at all.In recent years, Nash and Nina's marriage had not been smooth. However, the immeasurable value Nina brought to Nash far exceeded two million. She didn't feel the need to tolerate Sally's insults. "You can say anything you want about me, but you can't talk about m
Today, Zion finally grasped the truth from Sally's words. He turned to Nina and asked, "Nina, did you marry Nash for the sake of two million?"Nina's expression grew solemn, and she bit her lip. "Dad...""Nash's grandpa is kind-hearted, I'll give him that, but we shouldn't force a bad marriage." Zion spoke calmly. "We'll find a way to repay the two million debt."Julia remained silent. She had thought she had found a good son-in-law who could take care of Nina. But now...At this point, it seemed divorce was bound to happen. What was there left to cling to?After a moment of contemplation, Nina realized there was no need to push things further. She lowered her gaze and said, "I understand."Nash looked at Nina, uncertain of what she was about to say.Nina continued, "Mom, Dad, since it's come to this, there's no use hiding anything. Nash and I had a three-year agreement in our marriage, two million in exchange for three years of my youth..."As she spoke, Nina's eyes inexplicab
The faces of both families were filled with shocked expressions. Sally looked at the young girl in front of her, struggling to comprehend what she had just heard. She sought clarification, "What did you just say? Are you saying that you're pregnant with my son's child?"Linda, feeling a bit uneasy, was uncertain about the consequences of her words. However, she took the risk and nodded, "Yes... I am carrying Mr. York's child!"This time, everyone heard her clearly. She was pregnant with Nash's child.Zion and Julia were momentarily stunned, their expressions turning sour. They hadn't expected Nash to have a child outside of their family. They couldn't help but worry about their daughter's situation within the York family.Sally, on the other hand, was pleased. Although the child wasn't Miranda's, as long as it wasn't Nina's, it was good news. This child would carry the York family's bloodline.Miranda was weak, and if she couldn't conceive, it was their last option."Really?" Sal
