Chapter 916

Author: Faith Shaw
Nina was still at home when the company shareholders started calling. Both the landline and Quincy's phone rang constantly. Different people, but all with the same tone and message:

"Mr. York transferred the assets to you without our consent, and those documents weren't notarized."

"You are not Mr. York's only beneficiary. You need to return what you took!"

"If you don't come to the company, we'll have to come to Riverside Estate."

The calls kept coming, and the voices multiplied.

Nina's lips curled into a cold smile. "If we’re discussing business, it should be done at the company. None of you are family, nor did you have our consent to visit my home."

With a glance from Nina, Quincy and the helper simultaneously hung up the phones.

Nina, now uninterested in breakfast, said, "Let's head to York Corporation. Quincy, call my aunt."

"Understood," Quincy replied without hesitation.

Scarlett instinctively positioned herself behind Nina as they all moved out. Wilfred watched them le

    Nina was the most important person to Nash. If he were here, he would not let her suffer any mistreatment. Now, standing by Nina's side, Quincy had to represent the deceased Nash's position, not only to protect Nina but also to maintain his own integrity.Quincy’s gaze hardened. "Before Mr. York passed away, he transferred all his assets to Miss Nina. Here are the transfer dates. At that time, Miss Nina was in labor, but unfortunately, the child did not survive. Given how many years Miss Nina stood by Mr. York's side, her receiving these assets is completely justified.""Nina, you called for me?" As Quincy finished speaking, a surprised voice approached. Zoe, wearing a light purple dress and sporting short auburn hair, walked over, exuding both sensuality and charm.Nina smiled and walked towards Zoe. "Aunt Zoe."She greeted her before turning to the crowd. "Since you all object to me having York Corporation’s assets, I'll transfer everything to a member of the York family. If th

    Sally's gaze was sharp and her expression was dark and foreboding. She was clearly prepared for a showdown with Zoe.Zoe, however, was not one to back down. "Outsider? Am I considered an outsider now?"Nina had not expected that even transferring the assets to Zoe would provoke such a strong reaction from Sally. "Aunt Zoe, I didn't bring you here to argue with others. That wasn't my intention, and I don't want you to be upset. I have the authority to transfer the assets to you."With that, Nina gave Quincy a look. Although Quincy had not anticipated Nina's decision, he followed her instructions in front of everyone and handed the original documents to Zoe.Zoe pressed her lips together, ready to speak, but Nina quickly continued, "I have my own plans and no interest in managing the company. Aunt Zoe, Nash cared deeply about this company and wanted to preserve the York family legacy. You are the best person for the job. Quincy, regarding your request for leave, please discuss it wit

    As Zoe spoke, she moved toward Sally. Though Zoe was not very tall, she had an imposing presence that made Sally feel small.Sally's face turned pale. The relationship between her and Miranda was known throughout the York family. From beginning to end, she had been a laughable clown. No wonder Mr. York Sr. never spoke much to her, didn't accept her arrangements, and chose Nina as Nash's wife instead. No wonder William never came home. No wonder Zoe always looked at her with disdain, and Nina held her in such contempt."Hahaha!" Sally burst into maniacal laughter, losing all semblance of dignity. Zoe, uninterested in prolonging the encounter, turned and left the conference room.But where was Nina?Nina was currently leaving York Corporation, planning to visit her parents. Scarlett followed her closely, worried that Nina might be overwhelmed by her emotions.Sitting in the car, Nina received a call from Zoe."Aunt Zoe," Nina answered.Zoe tried to comfort her, "I know you

    Hearing this, Zion and Julia exchanged worried glances. Why was Nina speaking like this after just one trip? Could it be?Their throats felt tight as if something was lodged there, and their eyes were clouded with worry. They sensed a problem but did not know how to address it. Eventually, Nina spoke first, "Mom, Dad, I know I'm not your biological daughter, but you've treated me better than any real parents could."With that, Nina fell to her knees, overwhelmed with emotion. Zion and Julia immediately tried to help her up. Tears streamed down her face as she looked up at them, her eyes red and swollen."You have given me more than I could ever repay," Nina said, her voice breaking. "But rest assured, I only acknowledge myself as your daughter. I will always remember your kindness, and you will always be my parents. Here are all my savings."In the past, Nina would regularly send money to their account, which they saved without spending, always giving back to her whenever the

    If Nina did not want to get married, then she wouldn’t. Regardless, Julia just wanted Nina to live a good life. If she ended up alone without children, then she could adopt a child. If she did not want children, that was fine too.Nina was deeply moved. They were not her biological parents, but they were the best parents in the world, having given her a home. During her lowest moments, they had held her hand, guiding her out of the darkness and into the light.With tears in her eyes but a smile on her face, Nina said, "Mom, Dad, I’ve made my decision. Nash died doing his job. He left things unfinished, and I want to continue his work in my own way. If I die over there, I’ll die serving my country and helping the poor. It would be a meaningful death."Nina had made up her mind. The night she returned, she submitted her application online. Because of her previous work experience, she had already received a response. She had three days to get everything in order before leaving for Salt

    "I don't want it. Once I go over there, when will I have time to spend money?" Nina refused.Zion, however, spoke firmly, "Nina, didn't you just say we will always be your parents? That makes us family, and it's only right for parents to give their children money."Nina, when you're over there, there will be times when you need money. Think about the poor, injured children and elderly people you might see. Won't you want to buy things for them?"His voice was hoarse but calm, full of understanding rather than the earlier sorrow.Nina had not considered this. She opened her mouth but could not find any words.Julia chimed in, "Take it, it's a small token from your father and me. This way, when you help others, good things will come back to you, and we both want you to come back safely.""Alright." In the end, Nina accepted the bank cards. She had initially thought about keeping her plans secret from her parents, but realized that if they could not find her, they would worry endl

    Scarlett had always been by Nina's side, ready to protect her. But Nina wanted to handle things on her own. She knew Scarlett meant well, but she could not let Scarlett stay by her side forever."Scarlett, you have your own life to live. Trust me, when I made this decision, I promised myself I would take care of myself."Scarlett understood Nina's stubbornness. Once Nina made up her mind, she rarely changed it. While she could not openly argue with Nina, Scarlett resolved to support her from the shadows. If something happened to Nina, she felt that the late Nash and Wilfred would never forgive her. And she would not forgive herself either.After settling everything, Nina embarked on her journey to Salterra.……Five years later.Nina had become a seasoned war journalist. On this particular day, she was in the northern region of Salterra, reporting on the latest developments. Suddenly, the sky was lit up with the glow of war, the horizon ablaze.Her broadcast was interrupted by

    The child, like a little kitten, lay obediently on her chest, his small hands pressed firmly against her. Nina initially wanted to move his hand away, but then she heard him speak softly, "Your heartbeat makes me feel so safe..."He even hugged Nina tighter.In her five years as a war journalist, Nina had encountered many children, but there was something inexplicable about this one. His soft voice tugged at her heart.She carried the child outside and managed to quickly get into a Birkhamese military vehicle amidst the swirling dust and sand."Can you please take us to the embassy?" she asked."Sure," the driver replied.The soldier driving the car noticed the press badge hanging around Nina's neck and the child in her arms. The drive to the embassy took over forty minutes.Once they arrived, Nina carried the child inside and found the designated officer, intending to hand the child over. But the child clung tightly to her hand."You don't need to be afraid. This is one of our

    Why would someone as unbothered by non-work matters as Wilfred suddenly intervene in this situation? Karina didn’t think too deeply about it. She failed to notice that the real reason lay in Wilfred’s reluctance to let Xavier stay at the hospital. After all, the only person Wilfred trusted in the Atlantis hospital was Karina. If Xavier stayed, she would inevitably be the one to care for him. And Wilfred, stationed in Birkham, wouldn’t be able to keep an eye on things. Just the thought of Karina and Xavier spending days and nights together in a place out of his sight, talking and sharing moments, made Wilfred’s gaze grow icy without him realizing it. Meanwhile, Karina, shivering from the sudden chill, blamed the air conditioning or her choice of outfit. She was completely oblivious to the most obvious culprit standing right next to her. The discharge procedures went smoothly. By the afternoon, Xavier’s belongings were packed, and he was ready to leave. Since he was Karina’

    Harley gritted his teeth, glaring at her as if he wanted to press further, but before he could act, Karina was pulled back. Wilfred fixed him with an icy stare. “This isn’t your place to lay a hand on anyone.” “Wilfred!” Ignoring him entirely, Wilfred turned to Karina and asked softly, “Does it hurt?” Her wrist was red, but as she looked at his serious expression, any discomfort seemed to fade. She shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt. With you here, he wouldn’t dare go too far.“Still, there’s no point wasting time on him. Let’s go.” Wilfred nodded. Before leaving, he glanced coolly at Harley and left him with a parting shot. “This bet? I won. Relay this to your mentor and tell him to keep the association’s hands out of Birkham and Atlantis. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to make sure his reputation is shattered, no matter his age.” With that, they left the corridor. Karina didn’t turn to see Harley’s expression, but as they walked away, she couldn’t help voicing her

    At the time, Wilfred had already guessed that this had everything to do with Harley and his mentor, Professor Zeller. “You and your so-called association don’t focus on benefiting patients. Instead, you spend all your time trying to monopolize everything. And now you want to turn me into one of you? Keep dreaming.” Wilfred’s tone was filled with disdain, his eyes cold with contempt. The smug smile on Harley’s face slowly faded. With a sneer, Harley’s voice turned bitter. “You know what I despise most about you? That self-righteous, holier-than-thou attitude of yours. I was offering you advice, but if you don’t want to hear it, fine. There’s nothing more to say. After all, if the surgery fails—” Before he could finish the word “fail,” the surgical light outside the operating room flicked off. Clack!The sliding doors parted, and Karina burst through, her face flushed with emotion. She didn’t even notice Harley. Her focus zeroed in on Wilfred. “Wilfred!” Her voice trem

    As the surgery approached, Karina worked overtime, meticulously double-checking for any possible oversights. Before stepping into the operating room, she took a deep breath."Karina, you’ve got this!" a nurse beside her encouraged.This surgery was particularly significant, and the assistants and nurses weren’t from her hospital. They were brought in by the project, specifically by Harley’s team. Without a single familiar face around, Karina felt a twinge of anxiety. Opportunities to lead surgeries were already rare for her, let alone under circumstances like this, with no one she could truly rely on.But there was no turning back now. Gritting her teeth, Karina donned her gloves. As she was about to enter the operating room, her peripheral vision caught sight of a figure standing silently in the distance. It was Wilfred. His steady gaze met hers, his eyes carrying something profound she couldn’t quite decipher. When their eyes locked, a faint smile curved his lips.In th

    “Ava.”A deep voice cut through the air, and Karina turned to see a man in a black suit, wearing a hat and a mask, striding toward them. But the man’s white eyelashes and distinctive eyes were all Karina needed to recognize him. He was her albino patient, Xavier Jasper!Xavier also didn’t expect to run into both Wilfred and Karina here. “It’s you two,” he exclaimed in surprise.Wilfred’s gaze sharpened as he calmly addressed Xavier. “Keep your sister in line. Apologize.”Before Xavier could respond, Ava stepped forward and, to everyone’s surprise, said, “I’m sorry. I was too impulsive. Please forgive me.” Karina was taken aback by how quickly Ava apologized. Even Xavier, who knew his sister’s arrogant tendencies well, looked stunned.Karina nodded, her tone steady but firm. “I forgive you, but that doesn’t mean everyone else will. You should work on your attitude. Stop acting so entitled everywhere you go.” With that, Karina turned on her heel and walked away. Although Xavie

    ”Those were her meticulously compiled notes, the result of hours of hard work—and now they were ruined just like that?” Karina thought.“I’ve never wronged you. Why would you do something like this?” she demanded, her voice trembling with indignation. Something about the situation felt off, and Karina’s sharp intuition told her this wasn’t a simple misunderstanding.Under Karina’s intense gaze, the nurse finally broke down, revealing Ava’s role in orchestrating the whole thing. Karina’s anger turned into a mix of rage and incredulous amusement. “Really? Rich people—did they all enjoy throwing money around like this?”All this trouble, just to ruin her hard-earned work over a seat?Her carefully compiled notes were gone, and there wasn’t a second copy. Arguing wouldn’t bring them back, but Ava wasn’t going to let this slide without giving someone a piece of her mind.Finding Ava wasn’t difficult. In fact, Ava didn’t even try to avoid her. She seemed to be waiting, eager to see

    Just as Ava was about to cause a scene, the sound of steady footsteps filled the room. Wilfred strode in, his white coat enhancing his composed, almost ethereal aura. Ava shot Karina a glare, silently committing her to memory, then begrudgingly found another seat. Wilfred’s gaze swept across the room, pausing ever so briefly on Karina before moving on. She wasn’t sure if it was real or just her imagination. “Today, we’ll discuss cellular structures. I’ll start with an example from my doctoral thesis,” Wilfred announced, adjusting the projector. To Karina’s surprise, he was an exceptional lecturer—clear, engaging, and far more comprehensible than many university professors. She listened intently, taking meticulous notes. Yvette peeked over at Karina’s notebook, wide-eyed at the densely packed writing. “Karina, when you eventually get promoted, land a big raise, or go for your doctorate, I promise I won’t be jealous. Truly.”Karina chuckled. “If you need these notes, I can len

    Karina glanced at the time and quickly gestured for Yvette to sit down as well. However, barely had they taken their seats when a haughty woman marched up to Karina, her sharp gaze fixed on the chair she was sitting on. “You, get up. I want that seat!” Karina frowned, studying the unfamiliar woman. She didn’t recognize her from the hospital, but the designer jewelry around her neck and the branded bag on her arm screamed wealth. She seemed like the kind of entitled socialite who rarely had to fight for anything, let alone a seat.Unsure if the woman was trying to pick a fight or genuinely wanted the chair, Karina pointed to the open seats nearby. “There are plenty of seats over there. Take one of those.”Then, she lowered her head, dismissing the woman entirely.The woman’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Excuse me? I said I want your seat. Get up. Now!” Not content with words alone, she reached out to pull Karina up by force. Karina, now genuinely angry, shook her off. “I was h

    Karina looked slightly surprised. She distinctly remembered that Wilfred wasn’t a drinker. “I thought you avoided alcohol?” Wilfred, ever the epitome of control and composure, preferred to steer clear of anything that dulled his sharpness. Back when they worked at the Birkham Central Hospital, she had seen him reject bottles of expensive wine from people trying to curry favor with him. He sipped his tea slowly before replying, “You’ve started at a new hospital. As your former mentor, I haven’t given you a proper congratulatory gift yet.” “This is… for me?” Karina asked, her voice tinged with disbelief. Wilfred’s gaze was steady as he replied, “Don’t like it? If not, I can send it back and we can find something else later.” He raised his hand to call the server over. “Wait! No need. I like it a lot,” Karina interjected hastily, stopping him in his tracks. The idea of going gift shopping with him later felt uncomfortably like a date. And knowing Wilfred’s personality, w
