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
Hearing her cry, Nash quickly let go. Nina's wrist was already ringed with a red mark. She looked at her hand in disbelief, wondering how Nash could suddenly be so forceful. She glared at him, her expression showing her anger and pain.Nash looked at her wrist, his expression conflicted, mostly filled with guilt. He quickly apologized again, "I’m sorry."But his words felt hollow, as he had indeed hurt her accidentally. He hadn’t realized he had used so much force and become so agitated.Nina was already furious about the situation with Miranda. Dealing with a third person interfering in their relationship was more than any woman could tolerate. Now, Nash had even hurt her in his irrational state."Sorry doesn’t help. You still did it. I can’t stay here like this. I’m leaving," she said, intending to leave. After all, this wasn’t her house. Since she and Nash were still divorced, she couldn’t kick him out, so she had to leave herself.She barely took a few steps before Nash
The scandal had caused many of her jobs to be put on hold. Despite the challenges, she was determined to make a comeback. If she couldn’t work here anymore, she would make an appearance abroad.Fortunately, since the incident was recent, she had not been blacklisted and could still attend an online gaming event. The attendees were all anime fans. She planned to cosplay as a popular character to capture the attention of her audience.Miranda was smart and she knew how to create buzz. At every event, she aimed to be in the spotlight. This time was no different. She was also waiting for good news from Sally. Nina had made her life difficult, and she intended to return the favor. She assumed Sally had already handled it. If Sally could get rid of that nuisance, Miranda could rest easy.After all she had been through, Miranda had learned a valuable lesson which was never get her own hands dirty. Being caught was a death sentence. She couldn’t survive in the entertainment industry if th
As someone in the crowd shouted, Miranda's expression instantly changed. She looked lost amidst the people. She had endured many accusations before, but this was the first time she was publicly condemned, and the faces in the crowd seemed to turn hostile.The host tried to maintain order, saying, "This is Miranda’s first time here. Don’t believe the rumors online. It’s disrespectful to her...""Where there’s smoke, there’s fire! If she didn’t do anything, why would her name come up? Concerned netizens have been tracking her movements, and there are some very suspicious activities. We should ask the police to investigate. Artists with a bad reputation shouldn’t appear in public.""Calm down, everyone, please calm down," the host pleaded, trying to restore order. "If Miranda had any real issues, she wouldn’t be here..."The audience, however, wouldn’t listen to the host. They were outraged by Miranda’s presence and began throwing things at her."Ah—" Miranda cried out as she was h
After speaking, the assistant began packing up Miranda’s things. Tears streamed down Miranda’s face, but her expression remained cold. She desperately wanted to make a comeback, but it felt like she was sinking deeper into a hole she could not escape. She needed to think of a way to salvage her situation.She had fought hard to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, aspiring to be someone admired and envied. She could not give up now.The door was knocked on again.The assistant, growing impatient, opened the door. "What’s the rush..."To her surprise, it was Nash’s men.The assistant’s eyes lit up with hope. "Miranda."Miranda, feeling like she was in an ice-cold cellar, turned and saw Nash’s men. Her eyes brightened, and she quickly wiped away her tears. "Is it Nash? Does Nash want to see me?" she asked eagerly.This was her last lifeline. As long as Nash was willing to save her, she wouldn’t be doomed."Miss Miranda, come with us.""Okay, I knew Nash would
She was shocked, and then panic set in. Now she had nothing left and her only hope was Nash. If he gave up on her too, she would truly be at rock bottom with little chance of ever recovering."Nash," Miranda instantly began to cry. Ignoring the pain, she crawled toward him again. "I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please don’t do this."As she crawled, Nash looked at her as one might look at a dog. He lowered his head but maintained a superior posture, a cold smile playing on his lips. His fingers gripped her chin. "Wrong? Do you know what you did wrong?"This question left Miranda stunned. What had she done wrong? She didn’t think she was wrong at all. She needed to submit to Nash to survive in this cruel world. "Whatever you say I did wrong, I was wrong. I’ll never do it again. Please forgive me this once."Tears fell from her eyes, making her look pitiful. She hoped Nash would show her some mercy.Nash shoved her away with disgust, causing her head to tilt. He then took a disi
Nash felt that being imprisoned was too easy for Miranda. He wanted to punish her."You're not stupid," Nash said mockingly, like a grim reaper delivering his final verdict. "Your life is at its end!""No, you can’t!" Miranda became frantic. "You can't lock me up. It's illegal! Nash, you're harming yourself by doing this!"She feared Nash might take drastic actions. If he wouldn't let her go to prison, being locked up by him would surely be more painful. She did not want to be tortured. Prison would be preferable.The more she thought about it, the more her heart raced. She wanted to escape.She quickly got up and tried to run away.Nash watched her retreating figure without making a move to stop her, knowing she couldn’t escape. A cruel smile formed on his lips, sending chills down one's spine.Miranda ran as fast as she could, not even looking around. She had no idea what the house looked like, only picking a direction and running blindly. She ran until she was out of breath,
