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
She had never seen such unreasonable parents before. They accused Nina of harming Stella without any evidence, and if something were to happen to Nina, her parents would have nowhere to turn to for justification. The thought made Taylor feel even more bitter. Nina had raised her from scratch, and she believed in Nina's kindness. She could not have done such a thing. As for Stella, she was cunning enough to be capable of anything. Taylor did not need evidence to believe it. As for Stella being harmed and falling into the sea, that was just retribution. She deserved it!"Do you even have the right to speak?" Mr. Jasper rebuked Taylor sharply, "The York Corporation has all sorts of people, and even a lowly employee dares to interrupt me!"Nash's gaze at Mr. Jasper was extremely sharp. He casually put his hands in his pockets to control his displeasure and sneered, "Mr. Jasper, you live abroad after all, where democracy and freedom are valued. What's wrong with my employee expressing
Not far away, Nina looked at the figure of Nash and called out softly. Yvonne was beside her. Yvonne, worried about her, accompanied her to the hospital, only to see such a chaotic scene.Nash heard the voice and instinctively froze, turning back to see Nina standing unscathed before him. In that moment, he felt incredibly moved. The person he almost lost was suddenly back by his side, a feeling he had never experienced before. He quickly hurried over and hugged Nina tightly.Nina did not expect such a strong reaction from him, her hands unsure where to go. She only felt his grip tighten, almost making it hard for her to breathe.In that moment, Nash realized just how afraid he was of losing her. He never wanted to lose her again! With her by his side, he felt a sense of security he had never felt before.Nash reached out and stroked her hair, his voice becoming hoarse but gentle, as if afraid to startle her away again. "Where did you go? Do you know how worried I was about you?"
