Over time, without needing to say much, Scott came to understand her. Maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor, he didn't offer too much explanation: "It's nothing, just go ahead and eat."

Yet, there was a twinge of shame in Nina's heart. To her, Scott was merely an old classmate, hardly even a friend, yet he was so attentive to her needs. Picking up her fork, she tried to eat the meat in her bowl. However, she couldn't shake off a nauseating smell, which killed her appetite.

"What's wrong? Can't eat anymore?" Scott asked.

Setting down her fork, Nina didn't want to admit she had lost her appetite. Instead, she replied, "I have a small stomach, and I'm already full."

Nash stood up. "Since everyone's eaten their fill, let’s stop here."

Nina could sense his displeasure in Nash’s words, so she glanced at him, only to find his cold indifference. Meanwhile, Julia was attending to Zion. With no other choice, Nina had to see Scott off.

Seeing Nina's pale complexion, Scott advised, "If you're

    She leaned against the wall, feeling extremely uncomfortable, her face deathly pale as she continued to retch, but nothing came out.Seeing this, Nash nervously approached and supported her. "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"Nina pushed his hand away, tears welling in her eyes. "You just brought up divorce, and now you're asking what's wrong?"Seeing her pale complexion, Nash softened his tone. "Let's go home first. We won't talk about this now."He held her waist and led her outside. Nina didn't refuse; she didn't want to argue with Nash at the doorstep, fearing her parents would see and worry about her. Her marriage might not be happy, but she didn't want her parents to be overly concerned.Arriving at the car, Nash looked at Nina's sickly appearance, sighed, and pulled her into his embrace again. "Nina, what should I do with you?"Nina leaned against his shoulder, her nose tingling. She wasn't sure when she had become so fragile. Perhaps because she found some solace in Nash

    "You're just in time. I've made some red raspberry leaf herbal tea for you too," Sally instructed the helper. "Hurry up and bring the tea for Nina."Nina found it somewhat peculiar. With her mind solely focused on Miranda, why would she prepare tea for her?However, Sally's gaze was fixed on Nina's stomach. "This tea has been used for centuries to support reproductive health in women. They say once you drink it, you might conceive."As the helper brought the tea over, Nina took a sniff and immediately felt nauseated again. Her entire body was repulsed, prompting her to push it away. "Take it away. I can't drink it."Seeing her refusal, Sally's expression soured. "Nina, what's wrong with you? This tea was specially prepared for you. Since your stomach's not cooperating; you need to drink to regulate it. Hurry up and drink it for me."The helper presented the tea to Nina again.The nauseating smell was unbearable for Nina. "I can't..." She rushed to the bathroom."Nina, you..." Sa

    Her words made Nina pause for a moment.Using her?What could she possibly have to be used for?Someone as clever as Nash, if he were to use anyone, it wouldn't be her.Seeing Nina hesitate, it seemed she still wanted to know. With her chin held high, Miranda smirked, "Don't you want to know what he's using you for?"Being used seemed far-fetched but she was certain Miranda would try various ways to sow discord.She turned around, seeing Miranda still smiling, hoping Nina would inquire further. She had no intention of playing into her hands, so she proceeded as she wished. "You seem more eager than I am to enlighten me."Miranda's face stiffened.Dealing with someone like Nina, who didn't play by the rules, truly irritated her.Nina stared at her directly, her tone cool. "Your aim is to get me to divorce Nash so you can seamlessly marry into the York family, isn't it? Feeling a bit threatened now?"Miranda subconsciously tightened her fist, trying to keep up her façade. "You

    Doctor and nurses came over and carried Miranda away. Despite having countless grievances towards Nina, Sally had to stop. She was more worried about Miranda's condition.The moment Miranda was placed on the stretcher, Sally escorted her all the way. At the entrance of the emergency room, she was just as anxious, clasping her hands together. The doctor was discussing Miranda's condition with Nash and had no time to acknowledge Nina. Nina stood to the side, watching them tirelessly attend to Miranda, making her feel even more like an outsider.When Miranda was wheeled out, Sally escorted her back again. Nash didn't enter but noticed Nina walking behind him. He turned back and said to her, "Miranda can't handle any stress right now. Don't spend time alone with her."Nina felt a lump in her throat. Was he blaming her? Blaming her for upsetting Miranda and warning her not to trouble her in the future. Seeing her lower her head and remain silent, Nash thought she might be upset. He

    Zoe was greatly surprised, left only with anger and disappointment. At that moment, Nash emerged from the hospital room and spotted Zoe with Nina. He politely called out, "Aunt Zoe." "Don't call me that!" Zoe's temper flared as she launched into a tirade against Nash. "Do you still see me as your aunt? How could you not discuss something as significant as divorcing Nina with me? Have you forgotten Grandpa's advice to take care of Nina? Is this how you take care of her? Nash, I've watched you grow up. How could I not know you're so irresponsible, wanting a divorce? You're completely disregarding the marital bond for this mistress pretending to be sick in bed!""Zoe, mind your words. What mistress? What irresponsibility? Can you not drag this into the conversation?" It was the first time Sally stood up to Zoe upon hearing her harsh words. "If Nash wants a divorce, it's their business. What does it have to do with you? You're just using your seniority to reprimand my son like this!"N

    Nina also blamed herself, wondering why she couldn't endure a little longer. If she hadn't been so impulsive, Zoe wouldn't have found out. "I'm sorry." In truth, Nina didn't want to cause trouble for Nash, but words couldn't be taken back once spoken. Nash's deep gaze simply watched her, contemplating many things before speaking, "Do you really want to divorce me?" Nina pondered. Did she truly want to divorce Nash? In reality, she wanted a fresh start for herself. The current situation seemed hopeless, devoid of any prospects, and she didn't want to dwell on it any longer. Seeing her silence, Nash asked again, "Would being with me cause you a lot of trouble?" Hearing this, Nina couldn't hold back her emotions, her eyes growing hot as if tears were about to fall. If he had been angry and blaming her, perhaps she wouldn't have felt this way. But his gentle words instead made her emotions spiral out of control. Rather than saying it was troubling, it was more accurate to say

    Seeing this, Taylor took the wine and said, "Mr. Lincoln, Nina doesn't drink. I'll drink in her place."Mr. Lincoln was not pleased. "That's not good enough."Taylor felt a bit embarrassed. She lacked social experience and couldn't be as smooth, feeling nervous and afraid of making mistakes, which made her timid."Nina, your drink can't be drunk by your subordinate."Both of them were women, giving Mr. Lincoln more courage to speak less politely. "You're representing Mr. York and he always drinks with us. How can you refuse to drink? Since you're here, you should blend in with us. That's the proper thing to do."Here, let me fill your glass. Let's drink heartily tonight."Others chimed in, "Nina, don't embarrass yourself. Mr. Lincoln asked you to drink, so drink. Stop making so many excuses for yourself!"Don't ruin our mood. If Mr. York finds out you're not handling things properly, you'll get scolded when you go back!"Nina disliked this type of gathering. Just because Nash c

    His touch instantly disgusted Nina, she couldn't accept it and pushed him away forcefully. "Mr. Lincoln, please show some respect!""What more respect do you need? You're just one of Nash's mistresses, who knows how many times you've been slept with. Giving you the chance to drink with us is already giving you face, so don't act like you have any dignity!" Mr. Lincoln's malicious intentions persisted. Despite her repeated refusals, his patience wore thin, and he approached Nina, embracing her. "What Nash has given you, I can give you too. I'll give you a villa, so you won't have to worry about anything in the future. Be my mistress, it'll be much better than being with Nash...""Get off!" Nina couldn't hold back either, she slapped him hard. "Don't touch me!"Mr. Lincoln, now slapped, his eyes burning with rage, glared at Nina. "You little slut, how dare you hit me! I'll make sure you regret it!"Taylor was terrified beyond measure. Nina also feared for Taylor's safety. Sitting n

    Lila spoke coolly. “Well, since no one ever mentioned it to you, now you know. Jamie, when you used to work in the service industry, weren’t you well aware of these things? So why is it that now, after being with Ben, you’ve changed so quickly? Forgetting where you came from this fast is something else.”Jamie had insisted on handling this meeting with Lila herself. Even though Ben had dropped her off and wanted to accompany her inside, she had stopped him at the door. And now, it was clear. Lila, seeing Jamie alone, felt free to mock and humiliate her without restraint. Jamie stood abruptly, her presence suddenly intense. “Lila, do you know why I’m here today?” Lila sneered dismissively. “I couldn’t care less about your intentions. But since you’re here, you should remember one thing—I’m your client.” “Client?” Jamie couldn’t help but laugh at that. “Did we finalize a partnership? You seem to have forgotten that just as you can choose not to work with me, I also have the

    At the event that day, some people were bold enough to question Ben directly to his face. It was no surprise that, in his absence, they felt free to make unpleasant comments to Jamie instead, leaving her to deal with it alone.Ben held Jamie’s hand, his gaze soft and full of care. “After everything we’ve been through to get here, you should understand how determined I am to protect you,” he said gently, his voice steady and soothing. “If anything happens to you, you have to tell me. If you don’t, how am I supposed to know? I can’t let you suffer in silence.”Jamie nodded. “I know. I promise. But I really just want to use this opportunity to prove myself.” How could she not? If she didn’t prove herself now, when would she? Her goal was to stand alongside Ben for the long haul. “And what exactly will proving yourself through working with her accomplish? Jamie, you need to understand that as long as you’re with me, you don’t need to—” Before Ben could finish, Jamie placed

    “Why don’t you stay home and take care of Charlie? With you watching over him, I’d feel completely at ease. Besides, I’m earning enough money now. You don’t need to worry. I can more than provide for the both of you,” Ben said, his tone gentle but firm.The Lucas Corporation was massive, and Ben’s past work as a lawyer brought in astronomical fees, starting in the millions. Financial security was never a concern for their family.Jamie shook her head. “The work I’ve done before was all over the place, but didn’t you support me in doing it? What’s this sudden change, Ben? You’re switching sides faster than flipping a page!”Her decision to return to studying law had been encouraged by Ben himself. But now, hearing him say this, it felt like he was wavering, as though he wanted her to stay at home. Stay at home and do what? Take care of the child? To Jamie, this was an opportunity she couldn’t let slip away. It was her chance to prove herself. “That’s not what I meant,” Be

    Lila visited Summer, whose condition had visibly deteriorated. “Looking at you now, do you regret any of it?” Lila asked. If Summer hadn’t been so fixated on Ben, she wouldn’t have ended up this way, consumed by obsession. Summer gave a bitter smile. “With so many twists and turns in life, who even has the right to speak of regret?” She reached out and held Lila’s hand tightly. “Lila, let my experience be a lesson to you. Make sure you see things clearly and never do anything foolish for someone who doesn’t love you.” It was sound advice, and Lila couldn’t help but feel indignant on Summer’s behalf. But her indignation was meaningless. Back then, all she had wanted was to make things difficult for Jamie. In the end, it had backfired, leaving her worse off. “I’m sorry, Summer,” Lila said remorsefully. “I couldn’t even help you get justice. I still carry that guilt.” “You don’t owe me an apology,” Summer replied gently. “You came to see me and cared enough to thin

    Jamie sighed, knowing Ben was trying to comfort her. Though she still felt a little wistful, she quickly let it go.What she didn’t expect was that the boys’ whispered conversation would continue from the car all the way to the dinner table. Even while eating, they huddled together, making it clear no one else was welcome to join their secretive chat. Noticing how little food they had touched, Jamie tapped the table with a hint of exasperation. “Alright, you two. Mealtime is for eating, not whispering. Didn’t your teachers teach you that at school?” Charlie immediately recognized that Jamie wasn’t joking this time. She was genuinely a little upset. He quickly straightened up, putting on his most obedient expression as he picked up his utensils. “Got it, Mommy. I’ll eat properly now.” Jamie then turned her gaze to Orion, who, sensing her sternness, also sat upright and promised to focus on his food. With both boys settled and eating obediently, Jamie felt satisfied and

    Ben glanced down at Jamie’s hand tightly holding his own. A faint smile flickered in his eyes, but the somber look on his face didn’t fade completely. Jamie noticed and assumed he was still upset. Unsure how to console him, she simply kept holding his hand, refusing to let go. That was precisely what Ben had intended. “It’s about time to pick up Charlie, isn’t it?” Jamie finally finished reading the case file, stretching as she glanced at the clock. It was already 4:00 PM. Preschool ended at 4:30, so if they left now, they would arrive just in time. Ben had already grabbed the car keys. “Yeah, let’s go.” Fortunately, traffic wasn’t bad, and they arrived at the preschool quickly. Jamie was scrolling through her phone when she suddenly said, “Nina messaged me. She’s busy today and can’t pick up Orion. She asked if we could swing by and get him.” They exchanged a look. Ben didn’t seem fazed. Picking up one more child didn’t make a difference to him. Jamie, ho

    Most of the people nearby didn’t know what had happened. They simply listened to the man’s loud retorts and, judging by his confidence, began to cast skeptical glances at Jamie.“She looks so young. Why is she acting paranoid? How ridiculous.”“I don’t think it’s paranoia, it’s overconfidence. They say too much confidence is a sickness, and she clearly needs treatment.”“Oh, come on. I think she’s actually really pretty. Why are you all so hostile toward her? Honestly, the guy could’ve been snooping like she said. She did mention it was about her documents.”Hearing at least one voice defending her warmed Jamie’s heart. She turned and gave a smile to the young woman who had spoken up.The young woman froze for a moment, her face unexpectedly turning red. Embarrassed, she quickly looked down, pretending to sip her milk tea.Jamie didn’t linger on the moment. She refocused her attention on the man, her tone calm but firm. “I never said you were staring at me. You were clearly tryin

    The girl's death was caused by her being forced to run laps despite being on her period. She had requested to be excused, but the teacher denied her request. Left with no choice, she pushed through, only to suffer a severe hemorrhage. She wasn’t treated in time and tragically passed away.The school defended itself, claiming the blame didn’t rest solely on them. They argued the girl and her family bore significant responsibility. After all, they reasoned, no one else had any issues during the drills. Why was it only her?Jamie’s frustration boiled over as she read through the case materials. “A school this shameless actually exists!”Ben tried to calm her. “Take it easy.”She took a deep breath, then sighed after a long pause. “You’re right. There are too many cases like this.”The idea of valuing a life at a mere $5,000 sounded absurd, but it wasn’t uncommon in reality. Examples of such injustices were everywhere, stemming from the lack of clear legal protections.“And that’s no

    “Whose legal documents are these?” one of the investigators asked.“They’re mine,” Jamie replied. “I’ve been using them to prepare for a competition.”After she explained the situation, the investigator handed the documents back to her and issued a warning, emphasizing that such legal materials should not be present within the company. With that, they left.The man, clearly stunned, called after them, his voice rising with disbelief. “Did you even check properly? He’s a lawyer! How can a lawyer run a company as its president? Isn’t that against the rules?” The officials followed the direction of his finger and turned to look at Ben. Their expressions shifted into something between amusement and confusion, as though the man had asked an absurd question. “His law license was revoked a long time ago,” one of them stated plainly. The man froze, then shouted in denial, “That’s impossible!” “Why would it be impossible?” The official frowned, his tone growing stern. “When his l
