Nina's decision to bite her was a desperate move, hoping to make Stella back off. With Nina positioned at the shore's edge, she plunged straight into the sea when Stella shook her off.She refused to accept such a fate for herself. Even if she were to die, she would not go down alone. In the moment Stella shook her off, Nina swiftly grabbed onto Stella's other hand, and they both fell into the ocean together. With a loud splash, waves erupted around them. Both women struggled in the water, Stella unable to swim, shouting for help. The wind was strong today, causing the waves to surge dangerously high. Nina, though adept at swimming, found herself battling the strong currents. No matter how hard she tried, it seemed like they were drifting farther from the shore. Panic set in. She could not bear the thought of dying, especially with her unborn child at risk. She pushed forward with all her strength, her arms growing heavy with fatigue. But as she looked back at the endless expa
The reporters aimed their microphones at them, numerous devices poised for interviews. "Mr. York, Miss Miranda is a rising star you've nurtured from the start. With her receiving this newcomer award today, is there anything you'd like to say to her?" Facing the camera, Nash replied calmly, "Her hard work has paid off, and I'm genuinely happy for her." Miranda held the trophy in her hands, smiling shyly. The reporter turned to Miranda and continued, "Miss Miranda, today is a great day for you. Your debut film earns you this newcomer award. Shouldn't you be grateful to Mr. York?" The reporters intentionally asked questions about each other, not letting any gossip slip away. Holding the microphone, Miranda responded gently, "I'm delighted to win the award today. This marks my first step into the entertainment industry, and I believe it won't be my last. My success wouldn't be possible without Mr. York. He's the most important person in my life." She glanced at Nash, her eyes revea
Although Nash had clarified his marital status at a previous York Corporation gala, stating he was married, the public remained unaware. Today, he publicly acknowledged his marriage to prevent further speculation about him and Miranda in the media."This can't be a joke, Mr. York. Your marriage shouldn't be such a secret. How come there's been no news about it?""It's not April Fools' Day, Mr. York. Please don't joke around...""I am married," Nash said earnestly. "I've never been one for jokes. My wife has been by my side for seven years, and we've been married for three. We've always been very close. I don't want any of you to misreport and cause misunderstandings with my wife!"Miranda's expression turned somewhat unnatural. Nash publicly acknowledging their marriage was something she had never anticipated. Despite her discomfort, she maintained her composure in front of the cameras, though her fingers tightened in an effort to control her inner anxiety.Nash had always indulge
"Penelope…""I've been through so much to get where I am today. Even if no one watches the dramas I'm in and my popularity declines, it's my own problem. The entertainment industry is vast. Does everyone who's better than me have to be seen as a threat?" "That's not true. It's because Miranda relies on her patron...""Let's not speak ill of others. I don't want to hear that kind of talk. You know me well. I've made plenty of mistakes in the past, so now I need to cherish myself more and protect my reputation."Penelope cherished her future immensely. What she despised the most was using jealousy of others' achievements to elevate oneself. She and Miranda were fundamentally different. She had climbed up from the bottom and understood the hardships within. Miranda, on the other hand, was born with a silver spoon, born into unfairness. Without that privilege, Penelope relied on her own efforts to strive for what she wanted. She believed that one day she would reach the peak.---
She found herself in the ocean, struggling to breathe as she attempted to swim to the surface. But a massive rock pinned her down, leaving her trapped and facing imminent death. As panic gripped her, she screamed, "I don't want to die!""Wake up, miss," a voice called out.Wiping away tears, she realized it was all just a nightmare. Her pillow was soaked with tears, and she was back in the hospital.Fearing for her unborn child, she touched her belly, asking about its well-being. The nurse reassured her, "The baby is fine. Despite signs of miscarriage when you arrived, timely medical attention saved the child."Relieved, she nodded gratefully. "That's a relief. As long as the baby's okay."The nurse then asked if she wanted to inform her family. Looking around, she considered the situation. It was not the same hospital as last time, where acquaintances of Nash might discover her pregnancy. She decided, "Yes, please make a call for me."In less than half an hour, Yvonne arrived, v
Hearing her words, Yvonne's eyes welled up with tears. She had never felt such deep concern for her before. Facing everything alone, without her husband's support, Yvonne could not imagine enduring it herself. What kind of karma led to Nina's marriage being like this?Yvonne hugged her, gently patting her back. "You still have me. Everything will be alright," she said, her heart aching.Nina leaned against Yvonne's shoulder, feeling comforted. Fortunately, she was not completely alone. She still had many things to hold on to. It was just that she could not have Nash anymore.Nina was discharged from the hospital after finishing her IV drip. The doctor advised her not to overexert herself and to avoid strenuous exercise. There was not anything major to worry about.Yvonne stayed by her side. "Do you... want to go back?" she asked.Nina thought for a moment. "Let's go back," she replied.Yvonne helped Nina into the car, and as she drove, she said, "Alright, keep in touch. If you ne
"Mr. York, we haven't found Nina yet. Today, the wind was strong and the waves were high. It's highly likely that she might have been swept away. The chances of her being alive are very slim."Hearing this news, Nash could not bear it anymore. It felt like a knife had been thrust into his heart. He grabbed the person and coldly interrogated, "What did you say? Nina won't die!"The person tried to calm his emotions, saying, "Mr. York, I know you're anxious, but you need to calm down. If we haven't found Nina yet, there's still a chance she might have been rescued in time. Let's think positively and hope for the best.""Yes, she might have been rescued." Nash dared not think of the worst. He had never imagined Nina leaving him in this way. She could not possibly be dead."Today, many fishing boats returned to shore, and I heard they rescued several people. We don't know if Nina was among them," the person continued, trying to console Nash.Nash refused to believe that Nina was still
The couple rushed into the hospital room. Seeing her daughter lying pale and unconscious in the bed, Mrs. Jasper broke down in tears, collapsing to the floor. "My daughter, how could this happen to you? My poor, unfortunate daughter! If only I hadn't let you come back to the country, look at the suffering you're enduring!"Mr. Jasper helped his wife up, trying to console her. "Our daughter will be fine. Don't be too upset. She's been wronged, and we'll make sure she gets justice. If you collapse from crying, how will we help our daughter?"Hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Jasper cried a little more softly but with determination in her eyes. "My daughter didn't fall into the sea. She was pushed!"Outside the hospital room were members of the Jasper Corporation and Taylor. It was Taylor who first found Stella. Not having seen Nina for a while and knowing that Stella was following Nina, Taylor went to look for them but could not find them. She panicked when she saw Stella struggli
