Crying Her a River Chapter 43
Nathaniel's silence started to unsettle Regina. Her intuition as a woman told her that Nathaniel had begun to care for Nikita.She had no idea when it started.…While Nikita was busy browsing job listings, she suddenly received a call from the hospital. Yara had contracted a virus and was now in the emergency room. Nikita's heart dropped. Without even changing her clothes, she rushed out the door.Yara was still receiving emergency treatment when Nikita arrived at the hospital.Linda, who was standing nearby, was in a panic. She quickly explained, "I only went home to grab a few things. The nurse was the one who noticed Madam wasn't doing well. Ms. Shea, it's my fault. I should have watched over Madam better.""It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself," Nikita reassured her. Yara's condition had little to do with Linda's absence; there was no need for self-recrimination.Nikita swiftly pulled out her phone and accessed the surveillance footage to understand what had triggere

The overwhelming smell of disinfectant filled Nikita's nostrils when she woke up.Frowning in discomfort, she opened her eyes, only to find that she was still hooked up to an IV.Her face was pale. She sat up and reached to pull out the IV line. Linda noticed what she was doing and quickly rushed over to grab her hand."Ms. Shea, don't act impulsively! The doctor said your pregnancy was affected. You must continue with the IV. Even if you don't care about your health, think about the child you're carrying!"Nikita slowly moved her hand away from the IV line at those words. She parted her lips and, with difficulty, asked, "How's Mom now?"Linda's face darkened, and she shook her head gravely. She then let out a heavy sigh.Nikita's mind was flooded with the memory of Regina provoking Yara in the hospital room. She unknowingly balled her palms into tight fists. Even though her nails dug deep into her palm, she didn't feel any pain.She would not let Regina get away with it this

Nikita continued, "I'll submit the video to the court. You don't believe Regina could do something so heartless, right? I'll let the court show you her true colors."With that, Nikita hailed a cab and left.She wasted no time contacting a well-known law firm and handed over the video of Regina provoking Yara.She also made her demands clear: she wanted Regina in jail. Blood for blood!After reviewing the video, the lawyers assured Nikita that the chances of winning the case were high. This gave her some reassurance. She had been running between the courthouse, the law firm, and the hospital. Exhausted, she collapsed into bed and slept the moment she returned home.The trial would begin in a few days. By now, the court summons should have already reached Regina.Even in her sleep, Nikita dreamed of Regina being sent to prison. Though exhausted, her sleep was restless. In the haze of her dreams, she heard the doorbell ring. Jolting awake, she realized the sound wasn't a dream—i

Nikita didn't sleep at all that night. The next day, she finally gave in and called Ruby. She asked her to draft a contract for her to sign. Ruby quickly agreed to it.Nikita had her lawyer draft the contract and sent it to Ruby for signing. When she returned home with the contract, her steps were unsteady as if she were stepping into cotton.She didn't go to the hospital that day. She couldn't bear to, because seeing Yara made her feel guilty. For two days, Nikita stayed at home in a daze. The hospital never called again to remind her about the medical bills. The Foster family's efficiency was just as she expected.When Mason called, Nikita was flipping through her design textbooks from university. A familiar voice tinged with amusement greeted Nikita. "I heard you quit your job. Why not join my company? I'll double your salary!"That familiar way of trying to poach her…Nikita stopped flipping through her book and replied calmly, "No, I don't have plans for that right now.

Nikita was amused by his comment. Her usually indifferent face had a hint of a smile.Mason seemed stunned before he rested his chin on his palm, staring at her. "Nikki, you have such a beautiful smile. You should smile more often."Nikita's smile faded slightly: "There aren't many things that make me smile."Mason's gaze shifted, and he stood up. "From now on, you're part of our company. Let's go out for a nice meal to celebrate.""Alright. This meal's on me.""No way! I'm the boss; I'm paying!"Mason chose one of the most renowned high-end Western food restaurants in the city center and told Nikita to order whatever she wanted.During their meal, they harmoniously discussed jewelry design concepts. To outsiders, they seemed like a well-matched couple.At least, that was what Nathaniel thought.From his car, Nathaniel watched through the transparent glass. He saw Mason and Nikita laughing and chatting. Mason was even serving her food.Nathaniel's mood dampened instantly. H

The more Nathaniel thought about it, the more agitated he became. It was to the point where he almost wanted to tear the bothersome door apart."I'll say it one more time, Mr. Foster: If you don't want to appear in tomorrow's news, you'd better leave now."With that, Nikita turned and went back to her room to sleep.Hearing Nikita's footsteps fade away inside, Nathaniel couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath. His mood was dark and his aura menacingly intimidating.Nikita didn't notice when Nathaniel left; she just didn't hear any more banging on the door.On her first day reporting to Gray Group, she was first shown around by a long-time employee before she began familiarizing herself with the documents. As someone good at her job, Nikita adapted quickly and finished finalizing all the documents by mid-morning.Around noon, she received a text from Nathaniel saying she had left something in his office and should come back to retrieve it. Nikita thought hard but couldn'
Crying Her a River Chapter 49
Nikita didn't make a sound despite the pain from having her neck gripped tightly by Nathaniel. Her gaze remained cold and indifferent as if the man in front of her could no longer disturb her inner peace. "Nathaniel, are you doing this because Regina can't satisfy you, or have you become increasingly childish?"Over the past few years, Nikita had always obeyed Nathaniel without question. Now, she was baring her hidden fangs at him.Nathaniel only now realized that Nikita had such a sharp tongue. His pride was deeply hurt, as he had never been ridiculed like this before. Gritting his teeth, he glared at the woman he wanted nothing more than to strangle her to death. "Nikita, you're pushing it."Surprisingly, Nikita bared her neck at him, as if provoking him by saying, "Go ahead and strangle me now. If you can't, don't act tough in front of me."Nathaniel's gaze darkened as he stared at her slender neck. He reached around to the back of her neck and pulled her closer.As though pu

The deep frown on Mason's face instantly softened and was replaced by his usual playful smile when he saw Nikita. "Coming to see me first thing in the morning, eh? That must mean I'm becoming important to you," he teased.Nikita ignored his flirty tone as she glanced down at the disorganized files on his desk. "Need my help?"Her intuition told her that she was the reason Mason was facing all this trouble. She knew what was going on when the smile on Mason's face faded slightly.Mason shook his head. "I doubt you can help. Nathaniel hit hard this time. He’s poaching all my major clients. I've already spoken with them, but they're firm in their decision. They've made it clear they won't be working with us anymore."Now, only a few unimportant clients came by occasionally. Mason wasn't sure if Nathaniel had spared them out of pity or just left them to mock him.Nikita remained calm. She blinked and confidently mentioned, "Did you forget that my forte is bringing in clients?"Duri
