Julia was still preoccupied with Zion's condition when she overheard someone gossiping nearby. Irritated, she remarked, "Lily, you can criticize Zion all you want, but you can't say he doesn't care about Xander! Throughout the years, when has he ever neglected him or failed to clean up his mess? But you can't just turn to him whenever you're in trouble, expecting him to fix everything. What's your own family doing?"In response, Lily Clark sighed, "I'm in a desperate situation now, aren't I? If I had a solution, why would I seek advice from Zion and you guys?"As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes."Mom, don't cry, there's always a solution," her daughter comforted.Julia hadn't cried yet but Lily beat her to it, which was something she couldn't stand. Over the years, their family had been burdened many times, with relatives always coming to them in times of need, but never remembering them in times of prosperity. Out of familial obligation, they never said much. Julia harbor

Nina inquired, "What's your educational background?"Sue answered, "I graduated from a local university.""We only recruit graduates from prestigious schools. Your credentials don't meet our standards," Nina promptly declined.Sue's demeanor soured, but she plastered on a smile and retorted, "But you're employed there, aren't you? With a cousin like you, the alma mater shouldn't matter."Nina replied icily, "A reputable company adheres to standards. If you're so keen on cutting corners, you'll crumble sooner or later. There won't be any room for you."After being rebuffed repeatedly, Sue grew disgruntled. "Nina, you're just unwilling to lend a hand. That's why you're saying this.""You're well aware of it. If you're always depending on others, you'll be worse off than a beggar when no one lends a hand," Nina's words were cutting."If you won't help me, fine, but why insult me? Mom, look at her!" Sue couldn't bear the humiliation, her eyes turning red with anger.Seeing her daug

"Nash."Sue thought it would be wiser to approach Nash rather than Nina. He held more influence in the matter. "Nash, I'll be starting my internship in a month. Could I possibly intern at your company? I'm currently without a place to go temporarily. I just need the internship completion certificate; it won't disrupt your affairs."Lily added, "We're Nina's close relatives. Please assist her so she can secure a good job in the future."Nina furrowed her brows. This seemed like taking advantage of Nash being her husband, attempting to gain from him. It was one thing to benefit from their family before, but now they wanted to benefit from Nash as well.She couldn't help but glance at Nash, concerned that he might form a negative opinion of her family, especially given that it was their first encounter and things were already turning out this way.Moreover, her relationship with Nash wasn't intimate enough for him to be responsible for managing the entire Walker family's affairs. It

Her career in acting didn't start off with a bang. During the York Corporation's charity auction gala, Nash publicly distanced himself from her, causing her to feel embarrassed. In the intricate world of the entertainment industry, there were inevitably snide remarks about such situations.Miranda was savvy enough to understand that Nash would support her, making him her strongest ally in the future. After reaching out to Nash at that time, her opportunities expanded.She was occupied with filming and didn't have time to deal with Nina. Nina was also relatively peaceful. She didn't want to bother with these trivial matters.The more she thought about it, the more it upset her. It was better to just let it go.However, Taylor, beside Nina, glanced around and whispered, "Nina, I made a mistake this time. Please don't take it personally. I won't spread rumors about you and Mr. York anymore."Nina looked at her. "What are you saying?"Taylor furrowed her brows. "Mr. York is already m

The more Nina listened, the more absurd it seemed. "You're overthinking it. I'm just telling the truth.""Do you dare to say you don't like Mr. York?" Linda looked into her eyes and asked.Since Nina was speaking the truth, she hesitated on this one. "Your silence means consent."As a woman, her intuition was spot-on, and she did indeed have feelings for Nash. If after all these years Nash hadn't returned her affections, it meant there was no romantic future for them. Yet, Nina also made sure no other women dared to fancy Mr. York. It explained the scarcity of rumors surrounding him; she must have meddled."Nina, we can compete fairly. If I lose, then I'll accept it," Linda said earnestly. "If Mr. York doesn't like me, then I'll back off and stop bothering him."Nina found it laughable. "Do you really think I see you as a rival?"Linda understood. "I know you've been by Mr. York's side for many years. He has feelings for you, but not romantic ones. It's the affection between a
