At that moment, she felt like she had lost everything. No one would be by her side.---Nina returned to the hospital.By this time, Zoe had woken up. She looked tired, lying motionless on the hospital bed."Aunt Zoe," Nina called softly, carrying several bags.Zoe turned her head and smiled, "Nina, it's you.""How are you feeling? Any better?" Nina asked. "If you're uncomfortable, let me know."Zoe glanced at Nash standing behind Nina and hesitated before saying, "The pain is still there, but it's manageable. Don't worry, I'll be fine in a couple of days."Nina nodded, acknowledging her words."Nash," Zoe turned her gaze to Nash, feeling a bit guilty about what happened at the cemetery. "I'm sorry, I spoke without thinking. Don't take it to heart."Although she was angry with Nash, she felt she had said too much, which could have affected him.Nash looked at Zoe and said in a low voice, "It's in the past. Don't dwell on it."Zoe sighed, her face filled with sorrow. "It mus
"When I left the York family, I didn't take it with me, so it’s not mine anymore!" Nina retorted.Nash pursed his lips, his eyes sharp, and his fists clenched tightly."Let's go," Scott said to Nina.Nina followed Scott. Nash, watching their retreating figures, did not stop them but his gaze remained icy.In the basement parking lot, Nina said to Scott, "I found out the reason for Miranda's hearing loss. Now I need to make a call."With the online discussions heating up, she needed to clarify things to restore Zoe's reputation.Scott immediately opened the car door. "Do you need to go to the TV station?""Yes, I need to go back," Nina replied.Scott promptly drove her to the TV station. Nina had recently taken some leave. Originally, Michelle had failed to get an exclusive interview with Nash and had sabotaged Nina's news story, causing a scene at the TV station. The chief editor found out about all of it and gave her a good scolding. As a result, Michelle left a poor impress
Seeing Nina brought some comfort to Angel. Nina immediately reassured her, patting her on the back. Glancing at the computer screen filled with pages of text, she said, "Alright, stop crying. This time, I’ll make sure you get your moment in the spotlight."Angel, still sniffling, asked, "What do you mean by 'spotlight'? If I can get back at Michelle, that would be the real victory!"Having been oppressed by Michelle for so long, Angel wanted nothing more than to see her fall and to crush her underfoot."That's exactly what I'm talking about," Nina replied.Angel froze, quickly wiping away her tears. "Nina, I knew you’d come to my rescue. Tell me what to do, and I'll do it immediately!"Nina sat down, ready to work with Angel to expose the truth about Miranda.Meanwhile, Michelle was on her way to Miranda's residence. Miranda had returned home to Riverside Estate, a place where Nash would not visit. She was exhausted and knew she could not rely on Nash to support her. She had
Miranda quickly stood up, her face pale. "What? How is that possible?""I'm not lying. People have already started calling!" Ruby, her assistant, was equally stunned. "They’re saying horrible things. I didn’t know how to handle it, so I unplugged the phone. You shouldn’t listen to them."The shock was overwhelming for Miranda. "Who has my medical records? This is impossible!"She quickly pulled out her phone to check online and see what was going on. The only possible way this could happen was if...No, it could not be. She did not believe it.But when she opened her social media, it was flooded with comments criticizing her.They called her a hypocrite, an actress pretending to be innocent while scheming behind the scenes. They accused her of ruining others' lives for her own gain, saying she was a deceitful woman with a double-faced persona.Miranda had been in the industry long enough to see negative comments before, especially when she was a singer. But those were in the min
"It’s reliable. I'm in the hospital room next to her. I saw the person covered in injuries. I don't know how it happened, but it’s really bad. All because of a few words from Miranda, now she’s badly hurt!""This is so unfair! Just because Miranda is a public figure, a single word or look from her can twist reality. Today the person is admitted to the hospital, and tomorrow, her life could be at stake. The rules in the entertainment industry need to be changed for the better. Artists should embody both virtue and talent. People like her should be severely punished!""Miranda, get out of the entertainment industry!""Michelle, you should stop reporting. You’re feeding on people’s misery!"Michelle's face turned pale. She had not anticipated this would backfire on her as well.Suddenly, she recalled Nina's warnings about valuing her reputation. Michelle's first reaction was to blame Nina. "Could this be Nina's doing?"Miranda was too afraid to check her phone, fearing the comment
Miranda was in shock, unable to believe it could be him. Her world felt like it was falling apart.Michelle, seeing her distress, said, "Miss Miranda, we're in this together now. We need to turn things around. Otherwise, we'll both suffer!"Since she had already reported the news, there was no turning back. The only option was to work with Miranda to find a solution. They needed to regain the trust of the public by creating a new narrative.But Miranda could not process it. "Everyone, leave. I need to cool off to think."Michelle, desperate, continued, "We need to come up with a plan. Cooling off won't help. We've been exposed. Maybe you could accuse them of slander, file a lawsuit, and use legal action to buy us some time..."Before she could finish, Miranda interrupted, "Ruby, escort her out. I need to be alone.""Miss Jacobs, please leave. Miranda needs some time to think," the assistant said, quickly guiding Michelle out.Michelle was furious. She knew her reputation and job
Wilfred did not hide anything, revealing it all plainly.Miranda was shocked. "Why would you do this? Do you realize how much this affects me? I asked you to take care of Nina, thinking her death could save us. But instead, you pushed me into the fire. Why did you do this?"The bread in Wilfred's hand had been eaten by the pigeons. He brushed the crumbs off his coat. "There was no transaction between us. You didn't pay me, and I didn't ask for your money. Nina paid me for your information. Out of respect for the money, I couldn't refuse.""Wilfred!" Miranda growled. "This is not a joke! We’re supposed to be in this together!"Wilfred's slight smile faded, and he replied calmly, "I know exactly what I'm doing. As compensation, I'll restore your hearing.""I don't understand you anymore," Miranda said, almost laughing at the absurdity. "I thought we were the same. I believed you'd always help me, but then you sold me out to Nina. Who are you? Unless there's something between you and
Why did she feel so sad?Nina thought about it for a while but could not figure it out. "How long was I asleep?" she asked."Half an hour," Angel replied. "Nina, have you been overworking yourself lately? You fell asleep as soon as you put your head down on the desk."Nina guessed it might be because of her pregnancy. "Maybe I just didn't sleep well last night."Angel, still looking worried, finally felt reassured once she was certain Nina was okay. She could not wait to share some good news. "The article we posted was well-received. Can you guess the number of views? Over a million!"The internet is up in arms against Miranda, and they’re not sparing Michelle either. We did it!" Angel was eager to share her excitement. "I’d love to see Michelle's reaction. This time, she has hurt Starry Sky TV station’s reputation, and she’ll definitely face consequences!"Nina's main target was always Miranda. "We’ve made some progress, but if this affects Starry Sky TV station, the higher-ups
