The thought that the poison had no cure made her despair even more. She did not want to regret it again. Gathering her resolve, she spoke softly, "Nash, I don’t expect you to love him much, but please, don’t harm him. That’s my final wish."At this moment, Nash saw the determined look in Nina's eyes, and it broke his heart. He couldn't bear to imagine, much less think about, the worst outcome. His fists clenched, hands trembling, and his lips pressed tightly together as he struggled internally. He wished she didn’t have to endure such suffering."Are you sure about this?" Nash finally asked in a soft voice."Yes, I’m sure."Nash made a concession. He no longer insisted on aborting the baby. With Nina threatening her own life, what else could he do? All he wanted was for her to be safe and happy.Seeing Nash's sorrowful and worried expression, Nina offered him a reassuring smile. "Don’t see me as so fragile. I’m stronger than you think. Trust me, I’ll be fine. I will be fin
Nash replied, "Starting a new life means letting go of the past. Nina is part of the past now. Once you finish this drama series, we’ll get married. We can then meet each other’s parents. You already know my mother well, but I haven't met your father yet. Gaining our parents' approval will make our marriage complete."Miranda's eyes lit up, and she quickly wrapped her arms around his. "Your thoughts align perfectly with mine," she said, beaming with joy. "Thank you, Nash. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world!"She hugged him tightly, She rested her head on his shoulder with her eyes closed, savoring the moment of happiness. There was nothing more gratifying than him accepting her back into his life. Her efforts had paid off. She knew Nash still liked her and that Nina was just a temporary distraction. She believed that as long as she continued showing him how much she cared, he would eventually come back to her. Soon, she would truly be happy.Nash held her gently with one
Their relationship was the talk of the industry, making many people envious. At various events, Penelope often heard rumors about Nash and Miranda's relationship. Gossip columns were filled with headlines like, "Nash York Deeply in Love with Miranda Lewis." It irritated her even more than Miranda’s attempts to undermine her."Stop looking at that!" Nina said, taking Penelope’s phone away. "Staring at it won't change anything.""You sure seem to be handling this well," Penelope replied.Nina sat down beside her, munching on a plate of fruit. "I've come to terms with it. Right now, the only thing I care about is my baby. As for everything else, I'm not concerned. Oh, and of course, making sure our drama does well. That’s my focus.""Do you really think that?" Penelope asked. "I still think you love him.""Love isn’t my whole life," Nina said with a smile. "I’m not limited to loving just one person."Penelope could not accept it. It felt like all the good things were going to the
The sudden outburst caught everyone's attention. They heard Nelly exclaiming that their drama series could not get aired on television. This news dealt a heavy blow to everyone’s confidence.Penelope, sobering up quickly, rushed over. "Nelly, what does this mean? Didn’t we pass the review?"Nelly’s expression was grim. "They said our drama is too dark and isn’t suitable for prime-time TV. We’ve put so much effort into this. We can’t let it go to waste. I need to get some answers. I won’t accept this without a fight!"They had high hopes for the drama's broadcast success. This news felt like a cold bucket of water poured over their heads, leaving them all stunned and disheartened."I’ll go with you," Nina offered.Unlike the others who were panicking, Nina remained relatively calm. She had anticipated various challenges. Things were not as dire as they seemed. There was always hope. Nelly’s expectations had been very high, and she held herself to equally high standards. From the
After half an hour, the office door finally opened. As soon as the door cracked open, Nelly sensed there were people inside."Chief, I must treat you to a meal sometime," Miranda said, her face beaming with a smile. "Your advice today was invaluable. I really must thank you."She never missed an opportunity to get close to influential people."Of course, if it's a meal with Nash around, I'll certainly be there!" the broadcasting bureau chief replied, indicating his willingness to accommodate Nash.Nash shook hands with the chief and said softly, "Miranda is one of my artists. She'll be invaluable in many projects moving forward."The chief chuckled and teased, "Is she an artist or your girlfriend? Nash, at this point, there’s no need to hide things from me. I understand why you'd get involved personally."Miranda blushed slightly but maintained her composure. "Chief, you have a keen eye. When Nash and I get married, you must come!"She clung to Nash’s arm as she spoke."Absolut
The chief originally did not want any friction between them over this matter and planned to discuss it in detail with them. However, the director’s words made him a bit embarrassed.Nina had considered that Miranda might say something or play some tricks behind the scenes, but why did Nash get involved?Naturally puzzled, Nina said, "So it was Mr. York who had objections to our drama series."Nash’s gaze finally landed on her, but to Nina, he seemed like a stranger. After their separation, he was no longer the Nash she knew. He now belonged to Miranda."Modern dramas are scrutinized more strictly by the broadcasting authority. Themes of violence and revenge are indeed not suitable for prime time as they affect the values of teenagers," Nash said coldly, directly criticizing their series. "I think your drama shouldn’t just aim to thrill. Target audiences, especially impressionable teenagers, can be significantly influenced.""That’s impossible!" Nina retorted. "Our drama is about c
The chief looked at Nina and her team, clearly wanting to end the confrontation quickly. Nina stopped engaging with Miranda, realizing she could not expect any answers from Nash. His actions showed he was fully on Miranda's side, making their already difficult path even more challenging.Once inside, the door closed firmly behind them. Miranda grumbled, "She's just trying to curse me, wishing me ill!"Then she turned to Nash, feeling pleased, "Good thing you stood up for me, otherwise I'd be bullied."Nash reassured her, "Don't worry, their drama series won't make it to TV."Miranda felt a sense of satisfaction, "Nash, you're so sharp. You found a flaw that kept them off the air."Nash remained silent. But Miranda was immersed in her love for him and continued, "I talked to my dad, and we should have dinner together sometime."Nash squinted slightly, "When?""I'll check with him and let you know."Meanwhile, in the chief's office, Nina asked again, "Chief, is there really
"Got it!" Nash was waiting to find out the exact location of Seth Duncan. This man had vanished after being released from prison! His counter-surveillance skills were exceptional, and he had not surfaced on anyone's radar during this period.Even though Miranda never mentioned their connection, it was undeniable. The only person Seth could contact was his daughter. Miranda's involvement was even more obvious. Pharaoh's poison reaching her hands had to be related to Seth. Nash had to find him, and Miranda was the bait.Just then, another call came in. "Mr. York, the number is now disconnected. The last time it was used was at a phone booth."Nash expected this outcome but still hoped to catch a break. If Seth had not switched SIM cards, he might have been able to track him down. This only confirmed that Seth was meticulous and not easily fooled. They needed bait to lure him out.---In the dead of night, Seth moved in a specific direction. Fully equipped, he blended into
