She refused to release Nina, holding onto her tightly. Her intention to harm Nina was evident."I always knew you were a bringer of bad luck. We would have been fine without you. Zion would have supported me, and our family could have lived happily. It's because of your interference that Zion abandoned us. You're a heartless witch. I will kill you!"Nina's hair was disheveled by Lily's grip. Instinctively, Nina tried to evade her and push her away. Lily's slightly long nails scratched Nina's cheek, leaving a few marks."Madam, this is a police station. Your actions could result in your arrest!"Consumed by rage, Lily lost control of her senses, saying, "Arrest me if you want. As long as I can kill her, even if it means death for me! Even in death, I will drag her to hell!"Lily thrashed about, but the police had no option but to restrain her, forcing her to the ground. Despite being restrained, she glared at Nina with intense anger.Sue, pale-faced, shed tears and pleaded, "Mom,
Sally quickly added, "Since you've already met, that's even better. Miranda, this is Linda."This is Miranda," Sally introduced.Linda carefully examined Miranda, her expression turning somewhat grim as she suddenly realized, "Sally, could this be... the girl who captured Nash's heart?"She had thought Sally would accept her child and, by extension, accept her as well. But she had obviously been mistaken.Miranda rather liked being addressed this way and amiably responded, "Hello there. Sally has already told me about you, and she said you're carrying Nash's child and taking care of it at home."Linda had concerns and instinctively covered her stomach, fearing that they might harm her child. Miranda sensed her worry and reassured her, "You don't need to be afraid. Since it's Nash's child, I'll naturally treat it well. You don't have to worry. Once you give birth, things will only get better."Linda wasn't sure and asked, "Will you really let me have the baby?"Miranda spoke ge
Even if she wouldn't accept, Sally would accept it. She couldn't go against her wishes. And she definitely wouldn't stoop to being the villain.After a while, there was a knock on the door. Linda, in her room, asked, "Who is it?""It's me, Miranda," came the reply.Linda hesitated for a moment but still went to open the door. Miranda stood there, holding a bowl of soup, smiling gently at her. "Since you didn't come down, I brought you some soup. Sally made it, and it smells delicious.""I'm not really hungry," Linda said.Miranda placed the soup on the table and turned to look at her. "Did you lose your appetite because you saw me coming?"Linda hurriedly denied, "No, don't think like that.""That's good then," Miranda said, affectionately taking her hand. "You're young, so call me sister from now on. If you need anything, just let me know. As long as I can, I'll help you."Her warmth made Linda feel a bit overwhelmed. "I...""Don't be shy. I'm an only child and always wanted
This struck a chord with Linda. Nina's fondness for Nash made it difficult for Linda to comprehend how she could bear to divorce him. Could it be that Nina was trying to confuse her and lower her guard? Nina had previously cautioned her against developing an infatuation with Nash, yet it seemed that Nina herself had developed feelings for him.With a child on the way, Linda worried that Nina might plot against the child in the future.Feeling apprehensive, Linda held her belly tightly. She was determined not to let Nina succeed and harm her child.Observing Linda's expression, Miranda decided to end the conversation. "You should rest well. Remember to drink the soup; it's good for the baby. I'll leave now."With that, Miranda walked out, a faint smirk playing on her lips. Linda felt unsettled by Miranda's words. She knew she had to take action. Suddenly, she thought of Nina's aunt and cousin. She wondered how they were doing.—Nina had just finished giving her statement at the
Xander frowned as he continued to smoke. "Don't speak so harshly. If I have money, wouldn't I repay it? I'll pay you back in the future, as long as you lend it to me.""I don't have money to lend you," Nina replied. "If there's nothing else, I won't chat with you anymore."Nina walked away without even looking back, leaving Xander feeling disregarded. He threw the cigarette on the ground and menacingly said, "Nina, don't force me. It won't look good if things turn ugly!"Nina drove away directly.She knew exactly what her uncle wanted. Their family was like a bottomless pit—once she gave in, there would be endless requests for money in the future.Coincidentally, Linda, who was hiding in the corner, witnessed this scene.Observing Xander's frustration and hostility towards Nina, Linda thought of another way.If Nina were to disappear from this world, no one would threaten her or her unborn child anymore. If she defeated them, she might even be able to secure the position of Mrs.
Quincy had no choice but to hang up. Just after he hung up, the phone rang again."Mr. York, it might be something urgent," Quincy said.Nash was reading today's newspaper. He looked up as the phone rang again, this time from Yvonne. Normally, her calls didn't come through to him. If they did, it had to be related to Nina.Nash closed the newspaper. "Give it to me."Quincy handed the phone to Nash. As soon as he answered, he heard Yvonne's urgent voice on the other end. "Nash, why aren't you answering your phone? Don't you care about Nina anymore?"Hearing her urgency, Nash pursed his lips. "What's going on?""Nina's phone is not working!" Yvonne said anxiously. "She was supposed to meet me an hour ago, but she didn't show up. She's always on time and never disappears without reason. I think something has happened to her!"Nash's heart tightened. Any lingering resentment disappeared in that moment, and he sat up straight. "Did she mention where she was going?"Yvonne regretted
Nash quickly grabbed his phone and located the person in the surveillance footage. Unaware of being recorded, the person tried to avoid the cameras, changed clothes in a blind spot, and left. It took some time, but Nash eventually found him."Let's leave right away!" Nash exclaimed, and they quickly got into the car to follow the trail.---Nina felt exhausted, her body devoid of strength. Despite resting, she felt trapped in a state of lethargy, unable to wake up.She heard a muffled and distant voice, "What should we do now?""We've tied her up. It's time to get rid of her!" a female voice replied."Get rid of her? You want me to have blood on my hands? She's my niece. No, I just want money!" Xander hesitated, never intending harm. "Call Nash. If he wants his wife back, he'll bring money!""No, you can't call him! Are you insane?" The woman panicked, preventing Xander from reaching for his phone. "If Nash finds out, we're dead. You kidnapped Nina. He'll come after us. If you d
"I have money, please don't hurt me!" Nina's body was soaked in sweat, feeling completely drenched. She immediately opened her mouth to speak, recognizing that her first priority was to save her own life.Her eyes met Xander's, and she took in the chaotic room she was in, her hands bound. Seeing the man standing before her, her face turned pale. "Uncle."Xander stared at her coldly. "Now you're finally willing to call me uncle?"Nina hadn't expected him to be so heartless as to kidnap her, regardless of their family ties. She didn't anticipate him showing any mercy now, but she still asked, "What do I need to do for you to release me?""You mentioned having money," Xander said, holding the card that Nash had given her."Is there money on this card?""Yes, there is money."A glimmer of a smile appeared on Xander's face, as greed sparkled in his eyes. "How much?"Nina inquired, "If I give it to you, will you let me go?"Before he could respond, another voice interrupted, "No!"
