Serene's words had no effect on Nash and he did not care to hear her excuses. He had only one point and he voiced it out, “You can't replace Nina, and don't even think about such fantasies!”“Thank you for your guidance, Mr. York. I’ll call the restaurant right away to have the meal redelivered.” Serene still did not dare to look up at Nash.Nash coldly spoke, “No need!” With that, Nash got up and left Serene behind in the office.Even after Nash had left, Serene was still shaken. Nash seemed to think she was scheming to take Nina's place, but Nina had recruited her to fill in her position.Given Nash's attitude, it seemed he might fire her at any moment.She was employed at York Corporation, and if Nash fired her, how would other companies view her resume? Would anyone want to hire her?Moreover, she was dealing with Nash York, the top business tycoon in the capital, the head of the York family!With these thoughts, a resolute flicker crossed Serene's eyes. She must find a way
Julia scoffed dismissively, "If she comes again, I definitely won't let her leave easily! People take advantage of kindness, and we haven't done anything wrong, why should we be afraid of her!"Nina felt a warmth in her eyes. After all, her parents were doing this for her.Nina said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want you to argue with others. I'll handle Sally."Sally had never liked her to begin with. Now that Nash was unwilling to divorce, perhaps Sally could be a point of leverage.After making a meal for her parents, Nina left.Unexpectedly, as she was about to hail a taxi at the entrance of the neighborhood, she saw a black luxury car parked across the street. The window rolled down, revealing Nash's handsome face clearly in her view.His hand rested on the window, his long fingers holding a half-smoked cigarette.Nina hesitated for a moment, then approached. Her action of opening the car door caught Nash's attention.When Nash turned to look at her, Nina had already sat dow
Upon hearing the word "poisoned," Nina was taken aback.Miranda was poisoned while in the hospital! What was going on?Miranda's throat tightened, and she felt a chill at the base of her heart. Nash knew about it but had not come immediately. Nash had changed. The Nash she knew would never have acted like this.Miranda choked up, "Nash, do you think I’m pretending? I’m not, everything is documented in medical reports, and that collagen supplements have been sent for testing."Hearing this, Nina finally understood. Miranda was poisoned because of those collagen supplements she had sent over. Since Sally held Miranda in such high regard and even thought to send her supplements, Sally could not be the one poisoning her. The only possible culprit was Nina herself!Nina said coldly, “I delivered the supplements to the hospital as your mother wished, but I never opened the package. If I had, Miranda would have noticed.”She would not bear the blame for something she had not done.
Nash remained silent. His thin lips pressed into a straight line, his handsome face taking on an especially stern appearance. "Nina, have you also learned to play the victim to get a divorce? Should I consider sending you into show business?" His voice, low and laced with sarcasm, rang in Nina's ears.Nina was incredulous, "In your eyes, am I playing the victim?"After all the time she had spent by his side, even if there were no emotional ties, through their daily interactions, he couldn't possibly have no understanding of her character.Yet, he had uttered such words!Nina was disappointed, "Think whatever you want. We're just married by contract, and what I do in other aspects of my life is my freedom, and you have no right to interfere."Whether she entered the entertainment industry was her choice.As for the poisoning accusation Miranda mentioned, she needed to prove her innocence."Mr. York, are you going to drive? If you're not planning to, then I'll get out," Nina sai
"All this scheming, it could be made into a movie. Truly astounding!"...Nina no longer paid attention to the comments online. She knew that once the evidence was out there, as long as she could prove her innocence, how it fermented online was irrelevant to her.Since she was staying at Riverside Estate, she had left some items there. She gathered what she needed and left behind what she did not. There was not much to pack, and she was done quickly.Just as she opened the door, she saw Nash standing at the doorway. His gaze fell on the items in her hands, and his expression instantly clouded over, becoming stark and cold."I was going to show you those things, but the comments online were too harsh. I just needed to prove my own innocence." Whether Miranda was truly framing her or if she had been poisoned by someone else but mistakenly attributed it to her, everything else seemed irrelevant now that she had proven her innocence. Even if Nash was angry, there was nothing she cou
Nina's eyes, clear and resolute, were full of defiance. She was very different from before."I'll go with you to make an appointment at the district court next Wednesday," Nash coldly declared.Nina was determined. Nina checked the date and it was only Monday today, leaving several days until next Wednesday. Every second counted, especially in the coming days!Nina pursed her lips, "Why can't we make the appointment today? I don’t want to delay unnecessarily.""Miranda’s situation hasn’t been fully resolved yet," Nash coldly dropped this comment, showing his reluctance to continue discussing the topic.His attitude suggested he could not bear another second of seeing her.And his comment—what did he mean by that?Did he think she was involved in Miranda’s poisoning?Even though she had already provided clear evidence, Nash’s attitude still suggested disbelief in the validity of her findings.However, Nash agreeing to make the appointment at the district court was still better
Nash’s father placed his tea on the table, speaking softly, “What’s the use of saying all this? He said he has a clear idea about what to do, so let him handle it.”Sally became even more agitated upon hearing this. "How can you be so indifferent? Leaving him to handle it alone. What if he can't go through with the divorce?"Nash's father glanced up at Sally, replying coolly, "Whether he can divorce or not is his own affair. Why are you so concerned?"“How can I not worry about my son?” Sally emphasized.Seeing her like this, a hint of disgust flickered in Nash’s father’s eyes, but he remained silent.Seeing his reaction, Sally became more agitated, “Do you even consider him your son? All these years, you've never cared. This family might as well not have you at all!”“He’s been doing fine all these years, hasn’t he?” Nash’s father’s tone was as indifferent as ever, as if Nash was not his child.Sally retorted, “He’s not close to us, how can he be fine? It’s all your fault. If i
Nash's words were thrown at her with a cold tone. The things she cherished seemed laughable and indifferent in his eyes. Nina found it ironic. "Just asking, after all, it's a free trip, might as well enjoy it. I don't want to waste any more time with useless chatter. Anything else?"Her implication was clear that if there was nothing else, she would leave.Nash remained silent. Nina did not wait for him any longer and left.What caught Nash off guard was Miranda's attempt to end her life by cutting her wrist. Ruby, her assistant, called frantically, "Mr. York, Miranda said she never intended to throw all the blame on Nina. I witnessed her taking the supplements."I've been with her and I would never harm her. Miranda said she did not want your company to suffer from the backlash. She felt her only option to prove her innocence was through death." Ruby's voice shook violently with genuine fear."How is she now?" Nash's expression was grave.Ruby cried out, "Miranda is still bein
