Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on Scott's face. "How is that possible? It's supposed to be Nina."At that time, he had already developed feelings for Nina. He cared about her so much that he rushed back to the country overnight.The assistant, holding the newspaper, also found it incredulous. He thought he might have made a mistake. "I remember you mentioning that you and Nina were classmates, but this person is one grade below you," the assistant remarked.With that, Scott's expression registered another wave of shock. He hurried over, taking the newspaper and examining it closely. Despite its age, the newspaper was well-preserved. The headline was clear, detailing a murder case at a certain high school, with casualties listed, and the only survivor being...Scott stared blankly, unable to believe it. He blinked a couple of times, afraid he might be seeing things wrong. Suddenly, it felt as if this newspaper was not the same one he had seen before. The survivor
Scott was completely puzzled. Back then, he was so focused on Nina that he overlooked crucial information and likely misinterpreted things. But what about Nina's real experiences? Could it be that the newspaper was mistaken? Seeing Scott lost in thought since earlier, Nina asked, "What are you thinking about, Scott?" Scott snapped out of his daze and replied, "Nothing, let's just order takeout." "Already done," Nina said. "Aunt Zoe might have some beer. Would you like some too?" "Sure." The two left the study. Zoe was calmly watching TV on the sofa. For her, watching TV was just a way to pass the time, and the TV was airing her scandal. Nina walked over and joined Zoe in watching TV. They saw Michelle in the hospital room. "Look at the camera. This is our victim, Miss Miranda. Miss Miranda, can you still hear us?" Miranda resisted the camera a bit. "Stop filming. I don't want to be interviewed." "Miss Miranda," Michelle called again. "I can't hear. I don't know what
"It's okay. There's still plenty of time. I'll eventually become the lady of the house here. Look, I’m already one step closer now." Miranda thought to herself.Miranda glanced at Quincy, who accompanied her. After all, he was someone close to Nash. She needed to maintain a good relationship with him, so she asked in a friendly tone, "Quincy, does Nash stay here often?"Quincy replied, also typing on his phone, "Mr. York has been staying here quite frequently lately, but he hasn't been around here for many days.""He doesn't return to the York residence?" Miranda realized she had not reached out to Sally in a while. Work had kept her busy, causing her to overlook Sally's messages on several occasions."Mr. York does visit occasionally," Quincy replied tactfully. "But Madam isn't fond of going back there, so Mr. York's visits are less frequent."Miranda tightened her fist instinctively but maintained her composure. "Will he be coming by soon?""I can't say for certain," Quincy res
"Now! Now is the perfect time!" Miranda smiled. She knew Sally must be eager to see her. All she had to do was wait. She took a spin around and found herself curious about the master bedroom. She opened the door and walked in. It was evident that no one had stayed there for a while. She went straight to the wardrobe, where she found numerous women's pajamas, some with tags still attached. There were a few sexy camisole nightgowns as well. She held one up against herself and twirled in front of the mirror. If she wore these and twirled in front of Nash, he would undoubtedly find her attractive. She did not linger too long. There would be other opportunities she could wait for. Glancing at the large bed, she could not help but imagine scenes of passion with Nash. Twenty minutes later, Sally arrived at Riverside Estate. She called out, "Miranda! Miranda!" at the door, but Miranda did not appear. Not finding Miranda in the living room, Sally asked, "Where is she? Wasn't she s
Zoe had no idea Sally would call her, and her temper flared. "What's the matter? Did Miranda tell you something? So what if I did something to her!""Where are you now?" Sally only wanted to confront Zoe."Why should I tell you? Who do you think you are!" Zoe stopped eating her nuts and swung her hand. She was just looking for a way to vent her pent-up anger.Sally sneered, "Are you scared now? Scared I'll come after you? I know your beauty salon got vandalized, and now you're hiding like a turtle!""Scared? Have I ever been scared of you all these years? If you hadn't married into the York family with William, I wouldn't even acknowledge you as part of our family!" Zoe retorted."Fine, then come out. Let's confront each other face to face!" Sally declared."Come out if you dare, Sally! If you want to confront me head-on and tear each other apart, then I won't give you any face either!" With that, Zoe hung up the phone and grabbed her bag to leave.Seeing this, Nina called out,
"So you resort to any means to destroy one family after another! You never think you're wrong!" Zoe exclaimed. "I didn't do anything wrong!" Sally exclaimed, agitated. "You all forced me into this!"Seeing both of them so worked up, Miranda interjected, "Zoe, don't argue with Sally. She's just impulsive. I'm fine, I don't blame you. Let's all calm down.""It's none of your business!" Zoe looked at Miranda sharply. "You don't blame me, yet you tell Sally everything. You just want her to step forward, don't you? Hypocrite! You disgust me the most!"At this, Sally immediately shoved her. "Who are you cursing? Knowing that Miranda can't hear, you talk behind her back. How despicable can you be!""I may be despicable, but not as despicable as you!" Zoe pushed back."You're laying hands on me?" Sally glared at her. "Today, you'll pay for it!""Let's see if you can handle me!" Zoe wasted no time in engaging in a physical fight with her.When Nina and Scott arrived, they saw the scene
"Nash." In the midst of the dispute with Zoe, Sally noticed his presence, and she was taken aback. Nina also glanced over and saw Nash's figure standing behind them. His expression was indifferent, seemingly unsurprised by their arguments. Instead, he accepted the fact calmly. Zoe was shocked to see Nash's gaze. In that moment, she regretted blurting out that he was not Sally’s biological son. It was undoubtedly a blow to him.Distracted, her gaze remained fixed on Nash. "Nash..."Nash remained silent. He knew they were at the cemetery and came over out of concern that something might happen.Sally, infuriated, exclaimed, "Zoe, what are you saying? You're intentionally making things difficult for me. You're truly despicable!" With force, she shoved Zoe.Zoe focused her attention on Nash so she became less hostile. She withdrew her claws, her mind preoccupied with the possibility of causing him harm. Unaware of Sally's action, she was suddenly pushed down the steps.Nina, sti
"No...," Sally protested, "you're still my son. I regret it, and I've been trying my best to make it up to you...""I no longer need that," Nash said, his gaze icy. "Calling you 'mom' was my greatest concession. You should consider yourself lucky!"Sally could not help but step back, her voice trembling with emotion. "You can't treat me like this. You can't be like your father. Otherwise, what's the point of bringing you back?"Nash's tone remained cold. "The only point was to win back my father's heart. Unfortunately, all efforts were in vain!"Every word hit Sally like a dagger to her chest.Back then, her marriage to William was, to put it rather ironically, nothing but her forcing herself into it. William did not love her. In fact, he despised her. She thought that once they were married, he would be hers. Afterall, what's done was done.But she was too naive. William could stay out all night, leaving her alone. To win back his heart, she made countless efforts, even trying t
