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?"
"Didn't you hear what Nina said? She fell into the sea too. You're painting your daughter as the victim, but it's Nina who's the real victim here. She didn't even mention your daughter, yet you're the one pointing fingers first!" Yvonne could not hold back against the unreasonable accusations.And then, Mrs. Jasper added, "How could my daughter possibly harm anyone? Right now, it's her lying in the hospital bed, not this woman. That only proves she's the one behind my daughter's condition. I refuse to believe it was just an accident! Maybe she's fabricating the story of her own fall to cover up her crime!"She was convinced it was Nina's jealousy that led her to push her daughter into the sea. After all, nobody saw it happen, so Nina could easily lie."You're being utterly unreasonable. Fine, let's call the police. Let them investigate!" Yvonne retorted."Sure, let them investigate. I want to see how she'll play her cards!" Mrs. Jasper declared aggressively.Nina looked at Mrs. Ja
With tears streaming down her face, Stella held onto her mother's hand, looking very afraid of Nina. This stirred up Mrs. Jasper's protective instincts, and she pulled Stella into her arms, casting a hateful gaze towards Nina. "What else do you have to say for yourself? My daughter has testified against you. It's you who wanted to harm her! You're such a vicious woman, jealous of my daughter's success, aren't you?"Mr. Jasper, feeling victorious, looked confidently at Nash and snorted. "My daughter is awake now, she can't escape. Keeping such a venomous woman like her around will only bring trouble upon yourself!"Just then, the police arrived at the scene. Mrs. Jasper, seeing the police, rushed over as if they were her saviors, grabbing onto the police officer's clothes. "Officers, you've finally come! This woman harmed my daughter. Hurry up and take her away to jail so she can't harm anyone else!"The police were not unreasonable and looked around at the people present. One of the
In response to Stella's request, Mr. Jasper said, "Officers, we can discuss this outside. Miss Nina, please leave. You're not welcome here."Nina looked at Stella who was pretending not to be as domineering and confident as she was at the dock, but rather righteous and assertive. She knew Stella was trying to appear weak and pitiful, making everyone believe she was the victim. Nina chuckled coldly, "Are you afraid of me, or feeling guilty? Afraid I'll expose you, or do you think lying in that hospital bed, pretending to be a victim, will stop me?"Stella harbored a glimmer of hope. After all, there was no evidence against her, and she was more injured than Nina. She could probably get away with it. But she was also worried about saying too much and exposing herself, especially since this was her first time doing something like this. She just wanted Nina to leave quickly, preferably ending up in jail, so she would not have to be so nervous anymore."Mom, please hurry and get her
Nash's deep gaze fell on Nina. Initially, he would worry about Nina being at a disadvantage. Regardless of whether she pushed Stella or not, he would stand by her side. If the Jasper family wanted to send her to prison, he would resort to any means to threaten them to get her out. Nina signaled him not to speak, and he remained silent throughout. Only when she took charge did he feel relieved.The police took the voice recorder and looked at Stella and her mother. "If the situation is true, this is attempted murder. Even if the person is unharmed, you'll still face legal consequences."Seeing the police say this, Stella's mother felt they were biased towards Nina. "Officer, you haven't clarified the situation yet. This woman is the one with the problem, not my daughter. Are you siding with her? Do you think you can bully us just because we're not from here? This is outrageous!"Her words were severe, causing the police to change their expressions. "Are you questioning us?"Mr. Ja
"Miss Jasper, let's go," the police officer said.They could tell that Stella was trying to avoid responsibility for the situation. Following procedure, they could not just let it slide.Stella still resisted, so the police had to physically escort her. Two female officers approached and lifted her from the bed. She cried out, pleading for her mother to intervene."Let go of my daughter, don't touch her!" Mrs. Jasper pleaded, but another officer pulled her away.Stella was carried out, crying and pleading to her father for help, but to no avail.Despite Mr. Jasper's inner conflict, the police were firm in their actions, and Nina's steadfastness only fueled his frustration. He turned to her, his expression cold. "Miss Nina, you truly have no intention of giving me any respect!"Nina calmly replied, "Mr. Jasper, I understand your protective instincts, but shielding your daughter when she's done wrong isn't helping her. It's harming her. She won't learn from her mistakes or unders
"He may have been pitiful before, but does that mean he's still pitiful now?" Mr. Jasper remarked. "That was the old Nash. Now, he's in control of the York Corporation. Even though we're abroad, just look at how much sway Nash holds in Jasper city. Can you imagine William being able to say more than a couple of words?"Mrs. Jasper was also speechless and began to cry again. "Are we just going to stand by and watch Stella suffer? I might as well suffer for her!" Stella was their daughter, and they would do everything in their power for her. However, Mr. Jasper still had to consider the entire Jasper Corporation, with a bunch of people relying on him. He could not just ignore them. He had to think long and hard about it.At the police station, Nina had already given her statement. The voice recorder had been verified as genuine. There was no such thing as a perfect crime in this world. Even if Stella erased the surveillance footage and tried to make it seem like no one knew, evidence
