Everyone was shocked; Nina stopped her presentation, and they looked toward the source of the sound. Richard stood up and shouted with emotion that Nina had plagiarized his report."What do you mean by that, Richard?" asked one of the committee members."Ladies and gentlemen, you've seen my presentation, and look, what this woman said is exactly the same, she plagiarized my report." Richard said sharply, walking over to Nina. "You know, this woman is just a young girl who doesn't understand anything, but she made a report exactly like mine, that means she plagiarized mine."Now, all eyes were on Nina, asking for an explanation. The atmosphere in the meeting room became tense. But Nina remained calm, not a hint of panic on her face."Miss Nina, is what Mr. Richara said true?" asked one of the committee team members.Nina remained calm and answered firmly, "I have never imitated anyone. Everything I said was purely my ideas and thoughts based on existing data. Since the beginning, I was
Not long after the door opened, two security guards entered; Emy gave a code to Richard, and the two security guards held the man's hands. "Hey wait! What are you doing?" Richard shouted. "I don't want any chaos in this room, negative energy must be removed." Nathan said coldly. "M-meaning how, sir?" asked Richard nervously. "Have you forgotten? Yesterday you came into my room, said that Nina was incompetent and lazy, then you offered to take over the task, and promised that it would be completed by tomorrow morning," said Nathan. "But didn't you agree?" asked Richard, feeling cornered and skinned. "Yes, I nodded, but not to give this task away, that's why this meeting is being held, I'm giving you the opportunity to prove your worth." Nathan gave Richard a sharp look. "But what? you can explain but can't account for it, answering a single question stutters, it proves you don't know your proposal." Nathan's words were piercing, his gaze sharp and cold, making anyone who saw hi
"Don't be happy yet, arrogant girl! I'm not going to stay silent, I'm going to look for ways to get rid of you." The man grinned; his gaze was very sharp, filled with resentment and hatred for Nina; he immediately turned and left the big office. Meanwhile, Nina was getting ready to go home because the time to go home had arrived, especially since tomorrow was a weekend; employees were usually very excited because they could use these 2 days to gather with family and loved ones. "Nina!" called Laura. The girl rushed in and hugged Nina. "Hey, Miss Chatty, what's this?" asked Nina in confusion. " Congrats, Nina. You finally got this big project," Laura chirped. "Uh, how did you know that, Ra?" asked Nina in surprise, thinking that not many people knew about it because it had just been assigned this afternoon. "Hmm, you're so out of the loop, you're now the trending topic of gossip in this office," Laura said proudly. "Oh? Really? How come it's so fast, it was only set this afterno
Auntie Sophia sighed before she said, "Nina, true love cannot be measured in material terms, no matter how much he has given, it cannot be used as a standard if someone really loves you."Nina was silent, trying to digest Auntie Sophia's words. "And as a woman, you must have self-respect, never ask for anything from a man before becoming a legal partner.""I understand, Auntie, I never asked Nathan for anything," Nina replied with a smile, "By the way, do you think I should return the laptop?""Hmm, if Nathan is sincere, he will be offended if you refuse. Besides, maybe he sees that you really need this laptop." Auntie Sophie argued."That's right, Auntie; Nathan certainly knows what I'm thinking because lately I've been bothered by a coworker who is spiteful of me; he sabotages my work," Nina explained the problems she faced in the office."You have to be careful Nina," said Auntie Sophia."Yes, Auntie, that's why I plan to buy a new laptop, one that's lighter to carry around, so tha
Nina was stunned; it seemed that Nathan was distraught by the incident just now; understandably, he was not used to the life of the boarders, who liked to joke as much as their mouths."Nathanny, don't take what happened earlier to heart, they were just kidding," Nina assured."Kidding? That's harassment, do they really think you're a bird?" Nathan still looked angry."Oh my gosh Nathanny, those guys do that when they're hanging out, but they never misbehave with me or the other girls who live there," Nina argued."Anyway, you can't, you have to move out of there." Nathan insisted.Nina sighed, "Where should I move, I think the neighborhood is quite good, they are good neighbors, care about each other and help each other, I've lived there for a long time.""You just relax, I'll organize everything," Nathan said; he immediately took out his cell phone and contacted his assistant. Nathan instructed Emi to immediately find a ready-to-live-in apartment that was safe and comfortable for Ni
Nathan looked at Nina with great curiosity; while Nina smiled, she turned her gaze towards the stained glass walls with luxurious ornaments. Nina sighed, "She's very special to me, because she's the one who brought me into this world.""You mean, your parents?" interrupted Nathan. Nina nodded, answering without turning her head, "Mom."Nathan sighed, "Honey, does your mom come here often?" Nathan asked, not knowing much about Nina's family."Yes, almost every day," Nina replied with a smile."What? Do you eat here every day?" Nathan was both confused and amazed."Of course, we eat here because Mom makes the food for the guests here." Nina smiled and returned to her seat; before Nathan could ask her again, she told him that her late mother was one of the most famous chefs in the country. She became the executive chef of this restaurant.Nathan was surprised; he again confirmed whether Nina's mother was a chef. Nina nodded and then mentioned a name that stunned Nathan."Oh, so you're th
Nathan immediately took Nina into his arms, and Nina burst into tears. Nathan and Uncle John were silent. They understood that Nina was now reeling from what had happened to her mother."Honey, don't be like this, I'm sure Mom doesn't want to see you sad," Nathan tried to persuade Nina."That's right, Nina. Katy is happy there, don't make her sad." There was a long sigh from Uncle John, and his eyes turned red. He no longer knew how to persuade Nina because he felt his heart in pieces; the pain was intense when Uncle John found that the friend he loved so much had left.Uncle John patted Nina lightly on the shoulder; then the middle-aged man left Nina and Nathan; he was sure that the young man would be able to persuade and calm Nina because he did not know what to do.Nathan let the girl cry in his arms; he stroked the girl affectionately, trying to provide peace. Everything was beyond his expectations; he planned a romantic dinner, but instead, it became sad like this."Nathany, I'm
Today, Nina woke up early, like an average weekday, even though she usually wakes up at noon on weekends like this. After bathing and dressing, Nina immediately went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Still, it turned out that her aunt was already there.Auntie Sophie was surprised because Nina usually wakes up at noon on Saturdays like this, but why is she up so early now?"Morning Auntie," Nina greeted. Auntie Sophie answered while looking at her niece in surprise."What's wrong, Auntie?" asked Nina, also surprised."Today is Saturday, Nin. Did you forget?" asked Auntie Sophia, thinking that her niece must have been sleeping, so excited to work that she forgot the day."Yes, Auntie, I know, what's wrong?" replied Nina with a smile; she immediately poured warm milk into the glass."Oh, I thought you forgot, where are you going? You're up early on a Saturday," she asked curiously."Going to the office, Auntie." Nina answered while chewing the breakfast her aunt had made."Oh, over time
Nathan was stunned, "Sorry, what does that mean?""Well, sir. I'm the president director of a company in Belfast, so I can easily give you a position in my company, so you're not jobless here."The man said proudly. He was the husband of one of Nina's cousins who had no role in O'Meisceall Castle. He could attend the event because his wife had received an invitation. After all, her father was one of Lord Arthur's cousins."Oh, thank you for your kind offer," Nathan replied with a smile, although deep in his heart, he was annoyed because they indirectly accused Nathan of living on his wife's family.As Aran happened to overhear the man's conversation, he felt obligated to set the record straight."Haha, what did you offer Sir Nathan Wilson earlier?" Aran laughed as he approached Nathan and the man; of course, Aran's laughter drew the attention of the others, so they all turned to the three people."As you all know, the Wilson family is one of the Crazy Rich families in New York City. S
"Tan, you should go back to Philly." Grandpa Wilson asked Nathan to come back. Nathan was stunned to learn why his grandfather was asking him to return. The grandfather explained that he had already agreed with Nathan's uncle and aunt to celebrate Nina's pregnancy because this was their first great-grandchild and their first grandchild."Geez, I wonder what's wrong, Grandpa." Nathan laughed at his grandfather's explanation. But I'm sorry, Grandpa. My wife and I won't be able to return anytime soon, as this is a vulnerable time for my wife's pregnancy. She'll be exhausted from the long flight."There was a sigh from Grandpa Wilson. "Is Nina not doing well?""Oh, everything is good, Grandpa. I don't have to worry here, because the Castle has family doctors and nurses who keep a close eye on her, and the food for my wife is specially made with the right nutrients for her gestational age. Also, here I don't have to worry about people having bad intentions towards my wife."Nathan reminde
"What's important, what's important Nathany?" asked Nina in confusion."Honey, we've been making love all month, not a single night off.""Are you bored, Nathany? Or tired?" interrupted Nina quickly, both of them a young couple who were still very passionate about sex.Nathan chuckled at his wife's comment. "How could I be bored, baby. You know, I often ask for more.""Hm, so?" Nina was confused by her husband's attitude."I'm just wondering for this month, the previous months I used to take a week off at the beginning of the month, waiting for your monthly guests to finish, but this month...""Nathany." Nina gasped at her husband's mention of monthly guests. She quickly got up and grabbed her cell phone to look at her monthly calendar."Oh my God! Nathany!" Nina squealed as she covered her mouth."What's wrong, baby?" Nathan woke up and tensed up."My Hubby Baby, I'm six days late," Nina said happily."Oh, really?" Nathan was surprised. Nina nodded as she showed him her menstrual cal
"Dad..." Aran murmured, his eyes filled with tears as he saw his father looking strong and healthy. It was indeed a miracle. Previously, his father looked helpless, let alone able to walk like that; just to get up, he had to be carried.Lord Arthur smiled at Aran and Nathan warmly. He went to his seat in the center while Nina sat on the right next to him. Nathan sat next to Nina. Aran sat across from Nina; he was to the left of his father."I'm sorry you waited so long. My baby Alicia fell asleep," said Lord Arthur, smiling. He looked at Nina, who was also smiling embarrassedly."It's okay, Dad. I'm so happy to see your condition now, it's a miracle." Aran said enthusiastically."That's right, Aran. We're going to celebrate Lady Maxwell's arrival, as well as the confirmation of her title and the recording of her name in the Maxwell family register."Lord Arthur said excitedly. He ordered Fred to prepare everything, and his face lit up. Since it was a little late, he immediately ordere
"The thing is, I'm suspicious of my wife and brother," Nathan said while looking at his brother-in-law. His handsome face looked serious. Aran's face was no less serious seeing his brother-in-law like that. Suspicious of what?"What does that mean? Suspicious of Alice? Suspicious in what way?"A series of questions rolled out of the young nobleman's mouth. Nathan sighed, explaining that Nina was young, energetic, and not a typical spoiled woman who liked to complain. Since childhood, her mother had trained her to be independent. She always endured any hardship without complaining. If it was just going up and down the stairs, it wasn't something she could complain about.Ever since Nathan had known Nina, she had never complained about anything to him. They did like to discuss things, but not as complaints. However, Nathan remembered that Nina had complained that she was often tired, felt tired easily, and wanted to laze around in her room. That happened a few days before the collision,
Nina and Nathan were stunned. Important news? What important news? Wasn't dinner still an hour away?Nina and Nathan rushed to meet Mr. Fred, the man Lord Arthur had personally sent to fetch Nina to his private quarters. Nina was stunned, her heart beating erratically. She had been waiting for this: meeting her father as a daughter and father in person.Nathan could feel his wife's anxiety. He patted Nina's shoulder gently and then grasped Nina's hand, which began to feel cold. Nathan nodded with a smile of support."Come on baby, it's the time you've been waiting for. I'll carry you all the way down."Nathan stroked his wife gently. Nina nodded, the support from her husband calming her down. Nathan carried Nina down the stairs, and even though Nina refused, Nathan immediately carried his wife."Take your time honey, I'll wait for you in front of the pavilion until you get back.""What is it, Nathany, you can rest in the room," Nina refused."No-no. I don't want to see my wife exhaust
Suddenly, Nina leaned closer to her husband. "Nathany, am I dreaming?" she whispered."Why, darling?" Nathan replied in surprise."This building in front of us is like an illustration from a fairy tale." Nina looked up at the tall building before her, several towers rising on three sides. Light shone from every window in the solid natural stone building."Ancient European castles are like this, dear. Illustrators create images based on real images that have existed, then they add imagination to enrich their creations." Nathan explained as he looked at the ancient yet majestic building."Why are you standing here?" Aran approached them, who still hadn't moved, even though the vehicle that had taken them had already left."We're amazed by the view of this castle, brother. Isn't that right, honey?" Nathan replied with Nina's nod. "Apparently, the castle is quite old.""That's right," Aran smiled, gazing at the magnificent castle. This is one of the many old castles still inhabited, about
"Afraid? Afraid of what, my love?" Nathan was stunned. He looked at his wife, and there was nervousness on that beautiful face. "Isn't this the moment you've been waiting for, meeting your real father"?"That's right Nathany, I really miss Daddy, but I don't know what to do, what to say? I'm afraid I'll become a stranger to my own father." Nina sighed softly, question after question running through her mind."You know, Nathany. I've never felt a father's embrace, I don't know how to deal with and be devoted to a father."Nathan was silent at his wife's words. However, he was more fortunate than Nina because Nathan lived in complete love with both parents for eighteen years so that he could feel a father's love. Whereas Nina's father left her when she was only one year old, and there was no memory left in her memory about her father."My Love, don't worry. Although you have never met Daddy and have no memory of him, but believe me, the inner bond as a child and father will guide you. S
"Will, look at that!" said Mr. Carter, his eyes not leaving the young couple dancing amongst the other couples. Grandpa Wilson followed the direction of his friend's gaze; Nathan's grandfather was stunned."Christy? Who is that young man? Could it be her college friend?" muttered Grandpa Wilson."That's your granddaughter, isn't it, Will?" asked Mr. Carter for confirmation, and Grandpa Wilson nodded."Do you know who the young man is dancing with your granddaughter?" asked Mr. Carter again. There was a ripple of excitement on his face, and Grandpa Wilson just shrugged his shoulders."That's Bob, my grandson," Mr. Carter replied with a smile."Oh, is that Bob?""Yeah, that's right Will. I haven't had a chance to introduce him to you yet, he's been busy studying abroad, when he came back I put him in charge of the company under Nathan."Grandpa Wilson nodded, but how did these two get along and know each other so well? Both grandfathers were surprised. They had tried hard to bring Natha
