Chapter 284

Author: Faith Shaw
Nina was not pleased, but she had no choice.

"Yes, I'm very happy," she replied, though her words did not match her true emotions.

Nash had already seen through everything. "Your idea of a better method involves hiring a lawyer, doesn't it?"

Nina did not deny it. But after a moment of silence, she told Nash, "Mr. York, our paths diverge here."

She was going to consult with a lawyer. Nash sensed her intentions and was not about to be so kind as to give her a ride.

He simply remarked, "York Corporation has a lot on its plate."

"Oh," Nina responded tersely, deciding not to say anything more.

At York Corporation, one went to the CEO's office while the other returned to their workstation.

Serene was taken aback to see Nina. "Nina, I thought you weren't coming in today."

Nina's attention was drawn by Serene's voice. Serene looked sharp in her professional attire, especially given Mr. York's favoritism toward her. Moreover, Nina had brought Serene in, fully aware she would event

    "Head to the hotel and greet the representatives from Jasper Corporation. Then, sort out the lunch spot for today and set up tonight's arrangements at the club," Nash instructed without even bothering to look up."Yes." She could not refuse Nash's orders. After getting the hotel address, Nina planned to head to the underground parking lot to get her car. But just as she was about to open the car door, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, startling her. The next moment, she heard Serene's voice."Nina, I'm the one you brought in. Don't you know me well enough? When I ask those questions, there's no hidden meaning. I genuinely want your advice. Can you plead my case to Mr. York?"Serene did not want to be dismissed like this. She waited in the parking lot, ready to humble herself in front of Nina, Quincy, or Nash, hoping they would let her stay.However, Nina was unsympathetic. "Mr. York has already let you go. And you know his temperament. Do you really think he'll reconsider?"Nin

    After Stella's remark, she promptly turned her back on Nina. Failing to connect with the Jasper Corporation's representative, Nina promptly reported to Nash, "They've requested your personal presence, citing dissatisfaction with our frequent personnel changes."Nina did not waste time with small talk. If Nash wanted to salvage the partnership, he would have to handle it himself. If not, he could simply ignore it. Meanwhile, Nina could use the opportunity to consult a lawyer.Unexpectedly, Nash directly demanded, "Come back." His tone was low and serious, emphasizing that he was not joking."Okay," Nina replied succinctly.Returning to Nash's side, Nina found him no longer seated at his computer. He stood by the expansive floor-to-ceiling window, a cigarette held between his fingers.Maintaining a strictly businesslike demeanor, Nina inquired, "Is there anything else you need me to do?"Exhaling a plume of smoke, Nash's face remained obscured in the haze. But his voice cut throu

    A man dressed in professional attire sat at the computer desk and asked her, "Ma'am, as you've mentioned, you've already made an appointment with the district court. You just need to wait patiently. If your spouse doesn't want a divorce, we can only proceed according to the process."Nina's expression was serious. "I'd prefer it to be done as soon as possible."How much money would you need for me to help you get the divorce?" Nina was anxious. She could not afford to wait for two months.The man observed Nina's reaction keenly. "You're in such a hurry for a divorce. Is your spouse unwilling, or have you found someone else while married?"Nina denied, "I haven't cheated. It's a marriage of convenience, and my spouse has genuine feelings. We're in a secret marriage. I'm just tired of this loveless marriage now. We have no property to divide, no children. I just need to move on with my life."A secret marriage. Those words caught the man's attention. Only elites chose secret marriag

    Nina was at the career fair.With the York Corporation label, there was a crowd coming to check it out and submit resumes. She went through them one by one, sending them to Nash, but got no response.Not a single resume caught Nash's eye. It was clear he was intentionally making it tough for her, unwilling to let her leave.Nina felt drained, both physically and emotionally. She made a decision. She would stay here for another hour and collect a few more resumes. If Nash still did not find any suitable, she would give up.It was hot, so she went out to buy herself a bottle of water. As she walked back, with the blazing sun overhead, she felt dizzy. She immediately dared not move forward. She sat on the edge of the flowerbed by the roadside, gasping for breath."Nina." Suddenly, a somewhat uncertain male voice came from beside her.Nina subconsciously looked over and saw Scott, standing beside her in a tall and well-fitted silver-gray suit, slightly bent over.Nina was startled.

    Nina fully agreed with him, "You're right, eventually you'll move on naturally. I'm feeling that way right now."However, Scott didn't know how to respond. She was essentially saying she had moved on. Scott fell into contemplation. Had she really given up after all these years of liking Nash?Years ago, when he returned once, he worried about Nina and went to see her. She was in high school at the time, and he secretly watched her from behind a tree. As long as she was okay, he felt relieved. But he saw Nina laughing, her gaze fixed on Nash nearby. At that moment, he thought it was natural for Nina to like someone like him. Nash was a popular figure at school, handsome, and academically successful—someone many girls pursued. Meanwhile, he was overweight back then and didn't have the courage to show up.He looked at Nina, the girl he had liked for many years, and hoped she could be happy."Nina, look here!" Nina turned to see Scott suddenly making a funny face at her. She was take

    Nash was in the midst of work when he glanced up, giving her a cold look, then unexpectedly took the documents from her hand. To her surprise, he began to review them. Nina's heart skipped a beat as she heard him say, "These few are good, they can stay." Nash set aside the approved resumes and added, "Have them come in for interviews tomorrow."His prompt decision caught Nina off guard, but she quickly responded, "Okay, I'll call them right away."Nash then said, "If there's nothing else, you can go."Watching Nash's indifferent expression, Nina found him rather strange, but since he had spoken, she had no choice but to leave.However, Quincy entered briskly, "Mr. York, there's been an accident at the construction site in the east of the city!"At Quincy's announcement, Nash frowned and headed out with Quincy. Sensing the urgency, Nina instinctively followed suit.As they exited, Nash halted and glanced back at Nina, then turned his gaze toward Paris's position. "You follow. Ni

    "Yeah, you're just afraid that Mr. York will be implicated. Then you will have no legitimate source of income, so you're trying to twist the truth here!"...These folks redirected all their fury at Nina. They charged at her like they were possessed.Paris observed, feeling satisfied. Under her breath, she muttered, "Let them beat her up." It would serve Nina right to get a good thrashing, to learn her lesson.However, Nash grew tense. Struggling against the police officers nearby, he found Nina guarded by another group of officers. Simultaneously, Quincy also made his way toward Nina.In that moment, Nash breathed a sigh of relief and followed the police.Nina immediately approached Quincy and said, "Focus on investigating Mr. Clementi and Serene."Nash publicly criticized Mr. Clementi at the shareholders' meeting and Serene had been by Nash's side recently. These two had the highest suspicion.However, the investigation into this matter did not progress as quickly, and the pu

    Mr. Clement stirred up the other shareholders. Now that Nina has spoken up, the other shareholders dared not say anything.Paris initially tried to provoke a conflict between Nina and Mr. Clement, but it did not go as planned. Now, even she was hesitant to speak up.However, with Nash absent this time, it was the perfect opportunity to make a move!---Nina sat for a while, planning to lure the snake out of its hole. She deliberately called Quincy, "I'm going to see Mr. York now. I need to hand over some important evidence to him." As soon as she hung up, Paris walked over to Nina. She asked tentatively, "Nina, I just heard you say you're going to give important evidence to Mr. York. Do you know who framed Mr. York?" Nina nodded, "It's those people from York Corporation." "Whom do you suspect?" Paris continued probing. While Paris continued probing, Nina's suspicions were already set. Since the incident involving Mr. Nash, everyone at York Corp has been worried about whethe

    With about two hours left before the surgery, Karina focused intently on reviewing the patient’s information. She had never taken over a major surgery at the last minute before, and she didn’t want to waste a single second. Wilfred didn’t remain idle either. Leaning forward slightly, he pointed to the patient file with a steady hand. “This patient has coronary artery disease, along with several other complications causing vascular blockages. When he arrived at the hospital, he had already lost consciousness.” He continued in a calm, soothing tone, like the gentle flow of a stream. “Since the patient is over fifty, you’ll need to be particularly mindful during the procedure…” His steady voice eased Karina’s anxiety, giving her a sense of calm she desperately needed. When a knock at the door interrupted them, signaling it was time to head to the operating room, Karina felt more composed. Just as she stood, Wilfred rose with her. “I’ll go with you,” he said. “Having me ther

    Wilfred looked at Karina, but in the end, he didn’t say what was on his mind. “How much longer are you going to wrap it?” he asked. Karina snapped out of her thoughts and realized she had nearly mummified his hand in bandages. “Oh, sorry! You were talking to me earlier, and I got distracted. Let me undo some of this.” She carefully unwrapped a couple of outer layers, and the bandaging instantly looked much better. Still, Karina couldn’t help her worried expression. “How did you get hurt? Did you grab the knife directly earlier?” Adjusting the bandages to feel more comfortable, Wilfred replied casually, “No, it just grazed me.” Karina’s brows knit tightly together. She felt an urge to storm down to the police station and give the culprit a piece of her mind. At the same time, she couldn’t understand Wilfred’s calm demeanor. He acted as if being injured was no big deal, his expression unbothered, like this was just another ordinary day. She couldn’t hold back. “You

    Without sparing the man another glance, Karina let out a breath of relief as the police quickly left, bringing an end to the chaotic ordeal. Just as she thought she could relax, Yvette appeared nearby, making exaggerated winks and smirks, her face practically screaming curiosity. “Do you have a twitch or something?” Karina asked, raising an eyebrow. Yvette rolled her eyes. “Twitch? Who taught you how to talk? And no, that’s not the point! Spill it—what’s going on with you and the director?” Karina blinked, confused. “What do you mean by what’s going on?” Yvette’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Are you serious? Just now! You two were like all hugged up together! Do you think we’re blind? We all saw it. If you say there’s nothing going on, even a ghost wouldn’t believe you!“I’m telling you, honesty is your best option. Spill the truth now, and our friendship might survive this,” Yvette teased with mock seriousness. Karina’s brain blanked out. Her face flushed bright red

    As soon as the man’s attention shifted, Karina acted without hesitation. She lifted her leg and delivered a sharp kick straight to his groin. The man immediately let go, doubling over in pain. Karina didn’t waste a second. She bolted for the door, grabbing anything within reach—a patient file, a water glass—and hurling them at him as she ran, not even pausing to aim. His curses and shouts echoed behind her as she escaped. Just as she darted out the door, she collided with what felt like a wall of solid muscle. Before she could react, large hands gripped her shoulders, holding her firmly in place. Karina didn’t look up. In her panic, she assumed it was one of the man’s accomplices. Terrified, she yelled, “No! Get away from me!” She tried to repeat her earlier tactic, but this time her attempt was blocked. Her heart sank in despair—until a familiar voice came from above her. “Why are you so shaken up? Did someone hurt you?” Karina froze, then looked up and saw Wil

    But Karina still felt embarrassed. Noticing this, Wilfred stopped what he was doing, sat back in the driver’s seat, and fixed his gaze on her. In the light, his usually dark eyes softened to a deep, rich brown. His stare made Karina fidget, her heart pounding in her chest. She was certain her face was already bright red. “What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?” Wilfred’s lips curved into a faint smile, so subtle it was almost imperceptible. “If you really want to thank me, hurry up and write a proper thesis.” Thud!Karina’s heart skipped a beat, and any trace of excitement crashed and burned.She was momentarily speechless. How could someone constantly bring up writing a thesis? Wasn’t that the least romantic thing he could say? She completely forgot how flustered she had been moments earlier, unable to even meet Wilfred’s eyes. *Once the lawyer was arranged, the next step was filing a lawsuit with the court. This was beyond Karina’s scope, so she left ev

    The woman didn’t mind at all. She knew very well that most people wouldn’t get involved in something like this. Karina’s willingness to help came from her kindness. Even if things didn’t work out, the woman wouldn’t hold it against her. Karina, however, felt a sense of responsibility. After confirming the meeting time with Wilfred, she took the day off, postponing all her work to focus on the matter. When the time came, Wilfred drove to pick her up. *At the café, a man stood and offered his hand. “Hello, Ms. Norman. I’m Attorney Jenkins from Birkham Law Firm. You can call me Jenkins.”Karina shook his hand with a polite smile. “Thank you, Mr. Jenkins. I appreciate you coming all the way from Birkham.”“It’s no trouble. I happened to be in Atlantis for another matter. Besides, when a friend asks for a favor, it’s not something I can refuse.” After a bit of small talk, the group sat down, and the conversation shifted to the case. Since Mr. Jenkins had only been give

    “Dr. Norman… my life is so miserable. If I had known it would come to this, I’d rather have died than gotten married. What do I do now? If it were just me, I’d leave everything behind and disappear. But my daughter is only eight years old—she’s still so little,” the woman sobbed. Karina hesitated for a moment. “You do need to consider her…” Suddenly, she thought of Wilfred. Among her own connections, she didn’t know anyone in the legal field. But Wilfred might. Still, since she hadn’t asked him yet, she couldn’t promise anything. For now, she focused on calming both the mother and the child. The little girl was surprisingly mature for her age. At just eight years old and barely into elementary school, she didn’t fully understand the situation or what had been done to her. In her own innocent words, she said, “Daddy just played a little game with me. He said if I didn’t cry, I’d get a reward.” Even so, she understood that her mother was upset because of her. “Mommy,

    After leaving the room, Karina quickly patted her cheeks, trying to calm herself down. At the very least, she couldn’t let anyone notice anything was off. “Dr. Norman?” someone called from behind her. She turned to see a woman she recognized as the family member of a former patient. Noticing the child in the woman’s arms, Karina’s expression immediately softened with concern. After a brief exchange, Karina learned that the child’s condition had flared up again. She led them back to her office and conducted a thorough examination. Five minutes later, she reviewed the results with a slight frown. “Her stomach and intestines seem fine. Can you tell me where exactly she’s feeling discomfort?” Karina asked, assuming the mother may have misunderstood or misspoken. But the woman hesitated, stammering nervously. Sensing something deeper was going on, Karina softened her tone. “It’s okay. This is a hospital—we’re here to help. There’s no need to hide anything. Just tell me wha

    But Wilfred wouldn’t bother explaining. In fact, he thought it was better to let the misunderstanding linger. The nurse glanced at Karina, then back at Wilfred, her face twisting with humiliation before she turned and fled the room. Karina instinctively stepped aside, avoiding a collision. “For a moment there… I thought I was interrupting something,” she hesitated, her tone uncertain. She couldn’t deny the relief she felt after Wilfred’s firm stance. The suffocating feeling, like someone gripping her throat, had finally dissipated. Her breathing steadied, though a lingering bitterness remained in her chest. She couldn’t help but wonder why the nurse had acted that way. Wilfred looked at her briefly and explained, “I don’t know her. She knocked and let herself in. And not long after, you walked in.” Karina’s expression softened significantly. “Maybe it has something to do with the rumors going around the hospital recently.” Wilfred frowned.
