Chapter 457

Author: Faith Shaw
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

    While Sally was defending Miranda, Nina's expression turned cold. Seeing Nina speak up, Sally added, "Nina, look at the state of Miranda. Stop causing her more harm!" Her instinct was to protect Miranda.Approaching them, Nina saw Miranda crying, looking fragile and pitiful. "Why can't I speak up? Who among you is truly worried about Aunt Zoe? You're worried about your son doesn’t want you anymore, and Miranda is worried about being blamed. She's putting on an act to gain sympathy. We all saw Aunt Zoe being pushed, and you're the one who did it. Miranda, on the other hand, is likely the instigator!" As Zoe was rushed into the operating room with serious injuries, Nina felt no need to hold back. "Don't talk nonsense!" Sally snapped. "Yes, I pushed Zoe, but it was gentle. Why don't you mention that Zoe intentionally fell?"Nina looked at Sally. "That push wasn't gentle at all. We all saw it." Sally, feeling challenged, raised her voice. "Nina, who do you think you are to talk t

    Seeing his indifference, Sally called out, "Nash!" However, Nash did not want to hear her words and he walked away with a cold expression. Sally wanted to talk and patch things up with Nash. However, with Miranda crying and being bullied, she could not leave. She could only go over to help Miranda up, saying, "Miranda, get up quickly, stop crying." Miranda was supported by Sally, burying her face in her arms. "Sally, am I too annoying? Everyone seems to dislike me!" she sobbed. "No, no, I like you, everyone likes you," Sally comforted her, patting her back. Miranda continued to cry in Sally's arms. In this state, even if she was at fault, she turned into a victim, and no one dared to say a word against her. If it weren't for the hospital and so many people around, Nina would have wanted to give Miranda a good beating, tearing off her mask to see how good she was at pretending. Of course, she knew that no matter how much of it was true or false, Sally would still defend

    But instead of feeling touched, Vera’s first reaction was nausea. A wave of discomfort surged up from her stomach, and Vera’s face paled. She bolted for the bathroom. Caleb followed quickly. “Are you feeling sick?” “I don’t think so. I’ve been eating normally—nothing too heavy or weird lately.” Vera clutched her stomach, just as confused as he was. Then, a possibility flashed through her mind. Caleb clearly had the same thought. Without a word, he turned and walked into their bedroom, returning moments later with a pregnancy test. Vera looked at him, stunned. “When did you buy that?” He responded matter-of-factly, “Better safe than sorry.” Vera was momentarily speechless. Five minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. It was positive. They had only been married for three months. How did this happen so fast?Caleb, on the other hand, remained composed—at le

    Of course, Vera wasn’t about to dump all her responsibilities on her assistant. That would be exploitation. She called her assistant into her office. “You’re twenty-five this year, right?” Her assistant blinked, confused. Wasn’t her age common knowledge? Why was Vera suddenly bringing it up? A thought struck her. Was this an arranged marriage situation? Her face immediately filled with silent refusal. “Miss Vera, I’m still young. I’m not thinking about marriage anytime soon.” Vera tapped her pen against the desk. “I’m not telling you to get married.” “Oh.” “I just want to offload some of the smaller daily tasks to you. You don’t have to run every minor document by me.”Her assistant instantly understood. A raise. After confirming she was on board, Vera gave her a salary bump and had her hire a few more assistants to distribute the workload. “If I don’t have time to handle everything, you guys will take care of it. If something’s too complicated, jus

    Vera could sense danger the moment the conversation turned in this direction. Her father had never questioned her about married life, and she was lucky enough to avoid nosy relatives. But just because she hadn’t experienced it firsthand didn’t mean she hadn’t seen it happen to others. Without hesitation, she abandoned the half-folded pastry in her hands. “I... uh, need to use the restroom.” Before she could escape, Mrs. Smith caught her wrist. “You and Caleb aren’t getting any younger,” she said matter-of-factly. “You should start thinking about kids—make sure you’re putting in the effort, hmm?” Vera left the kitchen visibly drained. Mrs. Smith was a wonderful mother-in-law, the kind who treated Vera like her own daughter. Despite knowing Vera came from a well-off family, she had still gifted them a house as a wedding present. Of course, Caleb already owned a place, but his mother had insisted. “That’s your house. This is the home I’m giving you as a weddi

    That undeniable possessiveness flickered in Caleb’s gaze—subtle yet impossible to ignore. It was the kind of look a powerful man might give his beloved in an old Hollywood film. And right now, the photographer felt like the unlucky bystander who had accidentally stumbled upon an intimate scene. His voice wavered slightly, caught up in his own imagination. “Mr. Smith, lift your eyes toward the camera.” Caleb’s sharp gaze flickered over, intense and commanding. The photographer instinctively pressed the shutter. They continued with several more poses, reviewing the shots as they went. Vera loved them all, but her favorite was still the vintage-inspired one. “How long until we get the final prints?” she asked. “Two to three days at most,” the photographer replied. “I’ll have them shipped directly to you.” Then, after a slight pause, he hesitated before making a request. “I actually have a personal favor to ask—would you both be open to letting us displa

    Vera was tempted. They had already taken plenty of wedding photos—several sets at the island, more at the wedding itself. But this wasn’t just any photo studio. It was privately booked and known for being one of the most prestigious studios in the city. Appointments here were nearly impossible to get. The fact that Caleb had managed to secure a session meant he had gone to great lengths to make it happen. If they were just going to take ordinary wedding pictures, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Still, she wasn’t sure what kind of shoot she wanted. The photographer, understanding her hesitation, pulled out a sample album. “You can take a look at our past work. These are some of the styles we’ve done.” Flipping through the pages, Vera saw an array of stunning concepts—each picture more breathtaking than the last. Then, one particular set caught her eye. A Golden Age Hollywood theme.It was classic, nostalgic, and beautifully atmospheric. “Ca

    After the wedding, Vera considered taking some time off for a honeymoon. But the thought quickly faded when she realized Caleb had been practically living at the hospital. With a sigh, she dismissed the idea. She was used to it, but to say she wasn’t disappointed would be a lie. Her assistant picked up on it. “Mrs. Smith, don’t you want to go on a honeymoon?” she asked one day. “One of my friends just got married, and she’s been obsessively researching destinations. “She even said a marriage without a honeymoon is already half a failure.” Vera froze mid-page, suddenly losing interest in the documents she had been reviewing. Her assistant hesitated, then offered a suggestion. “Why don’t you go visit Dr. Smith at work?“You seem… distracted. Maybe seeing him will help.” Vera snapped out of her daze, suddenly aware of how preoccupied she had been lately. It was embarrassing to admit, but she had been zoning out far too often—especially after coming hom

    Whenever they did this in the past, Caleb always maintained some restraint. But tonight—he didn’t hold back at all. He took her from the bedroom to the bathroom, then back to the bed, his searing kisses trailing every inch of her skin. The next morning, even as she woke up, Vera could still feel the lingering traces of last night’s intoxicating pleasure. As expected, she ended up taking the day off. It wasn’t until two days later that she finally returned to work. *Everyone at the company had already prepared for this. The moment Vera walked into the office, she was greeted with knowing smiles and teasing remarks. “Congratulations, Mrs. Smith!” “Newlywed bliss, huh?” “Three whole days off? Someone had a good time.” It didn’t take a genius to figure out what she had been up to. Obviously, her married life was going exceptionally well—so well that she had completely abandoned work for it. Under the weight of their mischievous stares, Vera barely k

    Yelena still hadn’t accepted Hunter, but he wasn’t giving up either and was relentlessly closing in on her. Knowing Yelena’s soft heart, Vera figured it was only a matter of time before she gave in. She let out a sigh. Her friend’s love life wasn’t something she could interfere with. Besides, Caleb had already given her a little inside scoop. “She came to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago,” he had mentioned casually. “Hunter was the one who brought her.” Vera had clicked her tongue at the news. Yelena always seemed quiet and reserved, but apparently, she was full of surprises.*Time flew by in the blink of an eye.By mid-month, Caleb had rented out an entire vineyard and spent several days transforming it into the perfect wedding venue.When the day arrived, the celebration took place right there.The vineyard was sprawling and elegant, every bit as grand as any luxury hotel—if not better. Even the wine cellar remained untouched, stocked with years-

    “Did you plan this from the start?” Vera narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had just walked into a carefully laid trap. “Mm.” Caleb smiled, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Because yes—he had always been planning this. The biggest change in Vera’s life after the island proposal was the ring now sitting on her finger. It wasn’t just any ring. It was custom-made, something Caleb had specially ordered. She only found out by accident when she glanced at his phone one day and saw the purchase record. It had been ordered two months ago. Vera did the math and was stunned. He had been preparing for this long before she even started getting impatient. Her heart swelled with emotion. And as soon as Caleb’s parents heard that their son had finally proposed, they wasted no time pushing them to get the marriage license. *One day, Vera overheard Caleb’s mother lecturing him. “Your dad and I weren’t expecting much from you.
