He then gave Nina a kiss on the forehead before leaving with peace of mind.

Nina walked him to the door, watching as James and Felix were still running, drenched in sweat and repeating their chants. She felt a bit sorry for them.

Only after Nash got into the car and called them back did they finish their run. Watching them leave, Nina returned to the house.

She checked her phone first and was pleased to see that 'Glory' was gaining more and more popularity each day.

Nelly had complimented her sharp eye for spotting a good script, admitting that she herself didn't have such foresight.

Meanwhile, Penelope Zhang's popularity had skyrocketed. The largest billboard in the city center featured her image, and fans had bought subway ads to play her show three times a day.

Discussions were buzzing. Penelope had made a spectacular comeback, and her schedule was now packed with endorsements and work. Despite her busy days, she still kept in touch with Nina.

    Meanwhile, Nina had changed into a new dress and applied some lipstick, looking much more refreshed. She grabbed her purse, ready to go out. Just as she stepped outside, James's car pulled up at the entrance.He quickly got out of the car. "Ma'am," James called out.Nina was a bit surprised. "Didn't you leave with Nash?"James smiled broadly. "Captain sent me here. He wanted to make sure I handed the antidote directly to you."He produced the well-preserved vial of the antidote.Nina took the vial from him, even more surprised. "It's ready?""Yes, as soon as Captain got it, he sent me straight here," James said excitedly."Alright."Holding the vial, Nina felt a mix of emotions. The shadow of the poisoning still loomed large in her mind. She had not expected the antidote to be ready so soon. It all felt almost surreal.Scott was still abroad, searching for an antidote for her. Could it really be this easy to find one? Though she didn’t voice it, she still worried about Sco

    Nash furrowed his brows, clearly running out of patience. "Is this the important matter you wanted to discuss?" "No," Miranda replied softly. "This is my most important matter. Once I've said my piece, I'll get to what's most important for you."Nash did not respond verbally, but his eyes communicated to Miranda that his patience was wearing thin. She sighed softly, a bitter smile on her lips. "When have I ever lied to you? Just listen to me, and you'll understand."Miranda's feelings for Nash were genuine. She might have deceived many people and committed countless unscrupulous acts, but Nash was the one person she had always treated sincerely."In your mind, you think I rescued you from the organization, but it was you who saved me," Miranda began. "I took advantage of your kindness, your sense of duty as a soldier, trying to erase my own dark past. But no man had ever treated me the way you did. The first thing you did when you woke up was ask for me. 'Where is Miranda?' you

    They had not fulfilled their duties as parents and grandfather, so why were they so harsh and unloving towards her? She hated them. Her downfall was entirely their fault!"No matter what you believe, those are the facts," Nash stated."No! They never loved me. Only you did. You love me!" Miranda clung to the bars. She refused to accept that Nash's kindness was just an obligation, following his grandfather's wishes."Grandfather was a rational man," Nash continued. "He knew the difference between right and wrong. The York family wasn't left to William but to an outsider like me because he knew the family couldn't be destroyed."This was why Miranda could never return to the York family. Her malicious intent was clear to Grandfather. Even if he knew she was his granddaughter, he had to think about the family's well-being. Revealing her identity would have been disastrous.For Miranda, this was a heavy blow. She had lived, believing in Nash's love, confident he would fall for her a

    Nina did not want him to feel guilty. He had already done everything he could for her. Life was unpredictable, and she had accepted it with a calm heart. She just hoped he would not carry too much burden.Hearing her words, Nash felt even more helpless. He could save everyone else, but he couldn't save her, and that feeling of powerlessness was overwhelming. He didn't want her to see his tear-filled eyes, so he hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead, trying to alleviate his own pressure and pain. He wished he could bear her pain, even if it meant suffering twice as much.Nina was gently placed on the hospital bed, holding Nash's hand to give him and herself the strength to carry on. She was determined to survive. She would survive.Soon, Wilfred arrived. This was a hospital that Nash had invested in, equipped with the most advanced facilities. But Nash knew that only Wilfred could save Nina, so he did not let the doctors in, waiting instead for Wilfred's arrival."How

    If it were the old him, he might have been this selfish. After all, he did not want Nina to have anyone else in her heart. But Wilfred was different. Wilfred’s dedication to Nina was selfless, making it impossible for anyone to harden their heart against him.Wilfred looked back at Nash. "You don't want her to be sad, right? If she remembers, it will break her heart."Nash pressed his lips together and changed the subject. "Do you have any family? Would you like me to help you find them?"Wilfred and Scarlett had grown up in the organization, never knowing where home was. Nash wondered if Wilfred missed having a family."No need," Wilfred replied without hesitation. "Wherever I am, that’s home."With that, Wilfred stood up, hands in his pockets, and said, "Don't rely on others for the cure. I'll find a way. Just take good care of Nina. However, there is something strange...""What is it?" Nash asked."Pharaoh's poison is potent, but it hasn't fully invaded Nina's body. Her bab

    "I need to see Nina!" Scarlett could not wait any longer in the hospital room."No way. You're a prisoner. You can't leave the room," James replied."You can follow me, can't you? Do you think I can run in my current state?" Scarlett could not understand his stubbornness.James was firm. "Without orders from above, you can't take a single step out of this room."Seeing he was unmoved, Scarlett's expression hardened. "What if I insist on seeing her?"James started to respond, "Then I'm sorry, but—"Before he could finish, Scarlett slapped him hard across the face.James was taken aback by her fierceness. He had not expected her to get physical. He had been disciplined before, but never hit by a woman."You shrew..."Scarlett, balancing on her crutch, kicked at him again. She was not one to back down easily. She had tolerated him long enough, with all the rules and strict treatment. Being cooped up in the hospital room was driving her crazy. She just wanted to see Nina, but he

    "You..." James was at a loss for words. His good intentions were completely misunderstood, and no matter what he said, it would be wrong in her eyes. He felt a bit aggrieved, never having dealt with such a difficult woman before.Scarlett, not wanting to argue further, turned to Felix and asked, "You said I could see Nina. I'm injured and can't escape even if I wanted to. Even if I'm guilty, I should be allowed to visit her until the charges are official. I've cooperated with your investigation. You could at least grant me this one request."Felix nodded in agreement and said to James, "Let's cut her some slack. Even Nash hasn't objected. We should show some humanity."Reluctantly, James agreed. "Fine."Scarlett calmed down, realizing they were willing to cooperate. Although she left the organization, she did not have many people in this world that she truly cared about. The only ones she worried for and valued were those few people.She would not run away. Unless pushed to th

    Nash looked at Scarlett and asked calmly, "What kind of fate do you think awaits you?"Scarlett gave a bitter smile. "I don't know if I'll die or end up in prison. I've accepted my fate since I'm not exactly a good person.""What if there's a chance for you to atone for your actions?"Scarlett looked up with a glimmer of hope. "Is that really possible?"Nash told her, "Anything that benefits the country can be considered atonement."Scarlett's eyes filled with a mix of hope and doubt. "But what use could I be? Other than fighting and doing bad things, I have no other skills."Nash reassured her, "You have value. There are still many people waiting for you to help them. Focus on recovering first."Scarlett looked at Nash, feeling a surge of hope. His words were like a ray of light, showing her that her life had value and purpose. She could still make a positive impact.It wasn't as dark as she had imagined. This gave her a newfound confidence and excitement. She had always hoped

    Winnie reacted strongly, refusing to believe any of it. “We’ve known each other for so long. He’s always been so good to me, and he’s incredibly dedicated to his work. He’s an exceptional lawyer. How could he possibly do something like this? You have to investigate thoroughly and clear his name,” she said, her voice trembling. The captain waited until she finished before asking, “Miss Lewis, just now you called him ‘Jack.’ Is that right?” “Yes, that’s his name, Jack Green. We’re engaged, and we’re getting married soon. Is there a problem with me calling him that?” Winnie responded, momentarily stunned. Her first thought was that the captain was being unnecessarily nosy. Was it wrong for an engaged couple to call each other by their first names?The captain shook his head. “This has nothing to do with your upcoming marriage, but the name you’re using doesn’t match the one on his ID. Were you aware of that?” “You’re joking, right? That’s not funny,” Winnie said, her face

    While Nash spent time with his daughter, Gemma, every day, Nina and Pharaoh had missed out on so much together. Now that the doctors had given Pharaoh only five years to live, it was clear they needed to make the most of the time they had left and create as many good memories as possible.Lydia completely understood.She waved goodbye to Nash, then linked her arm through Quincy’s as the two walked toward their parked car.“I was thinking that, since work has been slow, we could take a short trip to a nearby city,” Quincy said, glancing at her with a warm expression. “But it looks like we’ll have to postpone it.”With her by his side, life felt perfect.Lydia smiled. “If not this week, then next week or the one after. We’ve got all the time in the world.”They were still young, with plenty of time to do everything they wanted.……Meanwhile, Winnie was left alone at home since Jamie went out to work. With nothing else to do, she decided to tidy up. The villa was large, and clea

    Nash was the first to speak. “Mrs. Lucas, what exactly happened to Ben? Can you tell us everything? Let’s see if there’s a way we can help.”“Alright. Thank goodness he has friends like you. Otherwise, I’d have no idea what to do right now.” Mrs. Lucas recounted the situation in detail but carefully omitted her own involvement.The living room fell silent, and everyone’s expressions darkened.“I raised Ben. I know my son. He would never do something like this. It must be a setup,” Mrs. Lucas said, her voice trembling with emotion. The more she spoke, the more heartbroken she felt. All she could think about now were her Ben’s virtues. Apart from refusing to listen to her about marriage and career plans, Ben had always been a good son.“Don’t worry, Mrs. Lucas. We’ll figure something out,” Lydia offered as she stood and gently guided Mrs. Lucas to the nearby study. “You should rest for a bit. Don’t wear yourself out.”Quincy watched Lydia closely as she left the room. Only when sh

    Mrs. Lucas deeply regretted her decision. If she had known it would come to this, she would never have sought out this man for help. “You hide behind a mask and won’t even show your face. How can you call yourself a man?”“Mrs. Lucas, do you really think throwing insults will make me take off the mask and obediently do your bidding like a dog?” The masked man remained calm, his tone even laced with amusement, which only added to Mrs. Lucas’s frustration.She was on the verge of breaking down. “Just name your price. How much will it take to get my son out of there?”As long as Ben could walk out safely and unharmed, no amount of money was too much.But the masked man shook his head. “This isn’t about money. If it were that simple, you wouldn’t be here begging me for help.”The truth was, Mrs. Lucas had come to him because she had run out of options. He was her last hope. Yet, he shrugged nonchalantly, as if to show her just how powerless he really was.“I don’t make the laws, an

    Why would Caden do this?“And then there’s that recent case you handled. The client is suspected of laundering money for an international corporation, and these are the ‘evidences’ you submitted.” The captain’s brows furrowed as he pulled a file from the side, placing it in front of Ben. “Take a look at what you turned in.”The documents were full of evasive arguments, but the worst part was that a check had somehow been slipped between the pages. With all this evidence piled up against him, even as a lawyer, Ben had no way to prove his innocence.He had no idea how things had come to this. He had personally organized and submitted these files to the court, but the ones on record were completely different. Someone had swapped them out.But who?Ben handled everything himself, except for having his assistant print the documents. Could it be…?“Mr. Lucas, the evidence is overwhelming. You’d better think about how to clear your name,” the captain said, standing up and looking at Ben

    “Please come with us,” one of the officers stepped up, holding a pair of silver handcuffs.Ben was even more puzzled. He hadn’t done anything illegal. Why were these officers showing up at his office? And why the cuffs?His first reaction was to step back. “You must have the wrong person.”“Your name is Ben Lucas, right? We’ve already matched your photo. I suggest you don’t resist and just come along quietly,” the officer barked.They wouldn’t be here without solid evidence. There was no mistake.“If you’re taking me in, I’d like to know the reason,” Ben replied, still trying to make sense of what was happening.To the officers, his reaction came across as defiant, making him look even more suspicious.“Don’t tell me you’re unaware of your own wrongdoing? You’re supposed to be a lawyer, familiar with the law. How convenient to play ignorant when it applies to you!“Think carefully! Confess, and things might go easier for you. Resist, and you’ll only make it worse. Don’t interfe

    How could Jamie feel right about taking the money? In just a few days, Winnie had already lent her so much. She couldn’t keep taking advantage of her.“Jamie, if I were living alone, I wouldn’t care so much. But now, with Jack and the baby on the way, it’s unrealistic for us to keep living together forever. Take this money. It’s enough to cover at least half a month’s rent,” Winnie said firmly.Jamie could hear the underlying message. Winnie was trying to hint, as gently as possible, that it might be time for Jamie to find her own place. It made sense. Winnie was building her own family and naturally wanted privacy. Having a relative around wasn’t exactly ideal, especially with everything Ben had been doing lately. While he hadn’t openly revealed anything about their past, it was clear enough that Winnie had noticed something.Jamie truly wanted to move out, but the moment she started looking for a place, Ben would make her life difficult. She didn’t mind for herself, but with

    The next morning, Ben opened his eyes. He immediately noticed the blanket covering him. Could Jamie have been the one taking care of him last night?He sat up, only to see Winnie sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor.“You’re awake? You were so drunk last night that you passed out on the way home. It was a struggle just getting you here. I even tried to wake you up for some tea to help sober you up, but you were completely out,” Winnie said as she woke up, too.After straightening up the living room a bit, she went to the kitchen and came back with a mug of warm herbal tea. “I’m guessing the hangover’s mostly gone, so you probably don’t need anything strong. But this will soothe your throat.”“You don’t have to go through all this trouble,” Ben replied, placing the mug on the coffee table without drinking it.Ben looked around the room. It was just the two of them. Where had Jamie gone?The thought nagged at him, so he asked directly.“Jack, I’m not sure if I should say this…

    “He… likes my sister?” The shocking thought had barely surfaced before it jolted Winnie. “You’ve got the wrong person. I’m not Winnie,” Jamie quickly pushed Ben toward Winnie’s side.A look of irritation crossed Ben’s face. It was Jamie he wanted to hold. What did Winnie have to do with him?Annoyed, he grumbled, “Why do you keep pushing me away?”“Jack, you’re mistaken. I’m your fiancée!” Winnie finally couldn’t hold back anymore. She strode over, took Ben’s hand, and placed it around her waist. “I get that my sister and I look a bit alike, but you can’t keep confusing us like this!”She had brushed it off the first couple of times, but this was going too far.Ben still seemed inclined to push her away.Just then, the taxi arrived, and Jamie opened the front passenger door, slipping inside. Seeing this, Ben staggered in her direction, while Winnie hurried to open the back door for him.Once inside, Ben leaned back in the seat and fell asleep almost immediately.Not wanti
