She stopped in her tracks, her face turning pale as she looked back at her in shock. "What did you say?"She tightly gripped Lucy’s hand, thinking she must have misheard. How could she have known Miranda in high school? According to her previous memories, she should have only known about Miranda when she started secretly liking Nash. Given her personality, there was no way she would have hung out with Miranda. They were rivals in love!Now that she knew she did not meet Nash in middle school, how could she have known Miranda? It was too unbelievable. She suddenly felt like all her memories were a lie!Seeing Nina’s expression change dramatically, Lucy was taken aback, thinking she had said something wrong. "Nina... Did I say something wrong? Why are you reacting like this?"Nina tried to calm her expression but still gripped Lucy's hand tightly. "No, it's not that. Did I really tell you that I knew a girl named Miranda? Are you sure?"She looked to Lucy for an answer.Lucy, a
Nina understood all too well. Initially, she had not taken Miranda seriously. But after all the schemes Miranda had pulled, Nina certainly would not let her off the hook."Let’s go back," Nina said.She was still reeling, the more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became. Miranda had exploited her memory loss. What else had she done? What had Nina gone through in the organization? Why had Miranda deceived her? And how had she managed to get out?Nina could not shake the feeling that there was a bigger secret behind all of this. She wished she could remember everything. Maybe then some answers would come to light. Her memory loss was not random. Someone did not want her to recall what had happened.At that moment, Yvonne spoke up again. "Nina, Miranda has been released!"Nina looked up. "Released? She’s out?""Yes, I just saw the news. It’s not an old one, it’s fresh. She was seen outside a restaurant." Yvonne immediately showed her phone to Nina, displaying papar
Miranda was still dreaming of being a big star. As long as she wasn't exposed, she believed she could become a huge celebrity and win major awards. Once she reached the peak of her career, nothing would trouble her anymore.But reality hit her hard. When she saw the article exposing everything that happened in the criminal hideout and revealing some unknown secrets from her past, she was terrified. This could ruin her career.Miranda had barely settled back into her routine when this bombshell dropped, affecting her future roles. Several directors had approached her for new projects, and she couldn’t afford to have her reputation destroyed.Her expression darkened. "Who did this?""Starry Sky TV Station."In a fit of rage, Miranda smashed a cup. "Her again! Nina! She’s always against me. After everything I’ve been through, I come out unscathed, and she still can’t see who’s in charge. That bitch!"Her assistant, though accustomed to her tantrums, was shocked by the malicious expr
"Now you remember I'm your manager? But whenever something happens, you run to the company or Mr. York instead. Go find him. Why come to me now? You treat me like I'm invisible. Now that Mr. York isn’t helping you, you turn to me? I’m done being your manager!" The manager had had enough of Miranda's tantrums and arrogance. If it were not for the powerful backers she had, the manager would not have put up with her."Hey, wait..."The manager hung up before Miranda could finish her sentence. With Miranda constantly in the headlines, even ten managers would be overwhelmed.Fuming at the lack of support, Miranda threw her phone against the wall. "He kicks me while I'm down! What a bastard!"Her assistant was equally frantic. "Miranda, maybe you should call Mr. York. You’re supposed to be getting married, right? He’ll definitely help you..."The assistant, unaware of the recent developments, still believed Miranda and Nash were on good terms and that he would solve her problems."If h
Upon hearing this, Sally's face turned pale, and she shouted, "When did all this happen? Why didn’t anyone tell me? How dare Nina interfere in their relationship after they have already divorced? How shameless! No, I have to go find her. She dares to treat my Miranda like this? I’ll fight her!"Just the thought of Miranda being wronged made Sally furious. She would do anything to get justice for her.Miranda quickly grabbed her. "Sally, you can’t do that. If you go, she’ll definitely treat you harshly. I can’t let you be mistreated.""What kind of power does she have! If she wants to be part of the York family, she’ll have to go through me first. Don’t worry, Miranda. If she makes things difficult for you, I won’t let her get away with it. I’ll go down with her if I have to!" Sally was too angry to think rationally. All she wanted was to make Nina pay, no matter the cost.Sally stormed off to defend Miranda, and no one could stop her. Miranda called out, "Sally, Sally," but did n
The helpers, fearing the situation, hesitated but did their best to push Sally out. Nina was no longer polite and said, "Whenever Miranda is in trouble, you jump to her defense. You just want me to know she’s your daughter and you want to protect her. But remember, you abandoned her once. Now you want to make it up to her? You should consider whether she even wants your help!"Sally was taken aback, thinking this was still a secret. But realizing Nina already knew, she did not bother hiding it. "Yes, Miranda is my daughter. I've sacrificed so much for the York family. How dare you slander her!""I don't slander," Nina replied firmly. "If you want to seek justice for her, take it up with the police, not me. Today, her reputation is ruined. Tomorrow, I’ll make sure she’s in jail for life!"Turning to the helpers, she added sternly, "Show her out!"Recognizing Nina’s authority, the helpers hurriedly escorted Sally out. Sally, deeply shocked and humiliated, couldn't tolerate the insu
Sally showed no remorse and wanted Nash to see Nina's true colors.Nash walked up to her, expressionless, and coldly asked, "Who let you in?"Sally replied, "I’m your mother. Why wouldn’t I be allowed in?"She said it as if it was a matter of course.Nash’s lips pressed into a thin line, his eyes cold as ice, filled with a murderous glint. It was the first time Sally had seen such an expression on Nash’s face, and she felt a chill run down her spine."You came here to burn down my house?" Nash's voice grew even colder.Sally, who had been confident, now changed her tune. "I only wanted to teach Nina a lesson, I didn’t mean to burn down the house. Nash, how could I possibly cause you trouble…""You didn’t just want to burn down the house. You intended to harm Nina and her unborn child!" Nash’s voice was icy, devoid of any warmth. "You think I won’t do anything to you?"The cold words made Sally tremble. "Nash…"Nash's chest heaved, his clenched fists shaking, his eyes tinged
Sally, seeing that Nash wasn't going to help her, panicked. "Nash, how can you listen to her? I am your mother, and you want to send me to jail? How can you do this! You must be bewitched by this woman!"Her emotions became even more agitated, and she directed all her hatred at Nina. "What kind of spell have you cast on Nash? You’re a witch, Nina. I won’t let you get away with this. If you ruin things for me and Miranda, I’ll haunt you even after I’m dead!"She continued to hurl insults and threats at Nina, but she couldn’t avoid being taken to the police.Finally, the house fell silent.Nash looked at the scorched floor and said to Nina, "We shouldn’t stay here. I’ll take you somewhere more comfortable.""It’s fine," Nina replied. "Only a small part is burned. We can fix it easily. There’s no need to go to all that trouble."Nash insisted, "As long as you’re comfortable, it’s no trouble."Nina declined, "Staying here is fine."Nash didn’t press the issue further and called som
