All Chapters of Crying Her a River: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Nathaniel couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Nikita was really something for having the guts to sell his apartment. Just how eager was she to cut ties with him?It wasn't just that she was selling the place—she was practically giving it away. Nathaniel had spent over ten million when he bought it, and now she was listing it for a mere seven million. Was this her way of telling him that his possessions were worth no more than that?After staring at the listing for a while, Nathaniel tossed the tablet back to Harvey and instructed, "Buy the apartment. Do it anonymously, and make sure my identity isn't revealed."Despite feeling both surprised and confused by the request, Harvey quickly nodded and set off to carry out the task.Once Harvey left, Nathaniel tried to focus on the documents in front of him.He couldn't read a single word. Frustrated, he yanked at his tie.A message from Dave popped up then. Dave was reminding him not to skip the gathering that evening. Nathaniel wa

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 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.

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'

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
