Linda instinctively covered her stomach, palms sweating. She forced a smile, "I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of retribution."Seeing them speak in riddles, Sally didn't quite understand. However, sensing something amiss with Nina, she coldly asked, "What are you doing here? I’m just trying to take a break and still run into you."Linda quickly replied, "I just asked, it seems Nina attended a funeral here, right in this place.""A funeral?" Sally felt embarrassed and quickly pulled Linda away, saying, "Don't stand with her, it's ominous!"Nina pursed her lips and remarked calmly, "The area you're in is all cemetery.""In such a place? Linda, why would you come here?" Sally urged, "Let's go elsewhere, this place is too eerie, not good for the baby!"As they conversed, Sue, who happened to be standing at the entrance of the cemetery, caught sight of them. She frowned at Linda's figure. It was that woman!Sue clenched her fists, brows furrowed. Why was that woman h
"I told Dad that Nina was bullying you, which led to the police detaining you. He was furious and went to confront Nina. But he shouldn't have kidnapped her. Could it be true what she said, that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes? Think about that woman who helped us. Could it be her...?" Sue felt a chilling sensation creeping over her. How could someone help others without any reason? If not for a purpose...Then, had her father also believed her nonsense?"It's impossible, it's impossible..." Lily refused to believe this fact.Sue said, "If someone else killed Dad, what should we do?"She did not know what to do next.They could not let her father's death be in vain and let the culprit escape unpunished.---"Is it over?" Standing there, his tall figure towering, Nash asked as the car parked behind him, seeing Nina walking over.Nina looked up at him. "Yes, it's over.""They've all gone back. Why did you take so long?" Nash noticed her late arrival.N
She gazed at Nash suddenly, noticing his icy demeanor and his chilling gaze. He spoke coolly, "You've been acting strange lately. Are you afraid I'll find out something?" Nina's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong? Find... find what?"Nash replied, "Ever since you started finding women for me, I've sensed something off about you. And sneaking off to the hospital!"Nina avoided his gaze. "My life is perfectly normal. You're just imagining things.""Then tell me why. Give me a convincing reason!" Nash always felt Nina was being secretive, as if she had a secret he had not uncovered yet. He could not quite guess what it was and had to wait for her to confess.Nina crossed her hands, trying to ease her tension, and spoke lightly, "Nash, haven't you noticed something off about yourself?""Me? Something off?"After all this time, Nash only got such an explanation from Nina. Her explanation was a bit hard to believe. "What's wrong with me?""Your attention has been entirely on me l
The two of them tacitly understood each other and did not say much more. Nina returned to her room to pack her things. With Xander's funeral over, it was time to go back."Nina," Julia suddenly walked in. Nina stopped what she was doing and turned around. "Mom." Julia sat down beside her, wanting to talk to her about something. Nina sensed it and sat next to her. "Mom, what's wrong?""This time, Nash came, did not he?" Julia said. "Yes." Julia turned to her. "Weren't you two talking about divorcing soon? But this time he came over to help you, it doesn't seem like a divorce. If you're both planning to divorce, there's no need to trouble him."They did not want to owe Nash too much, and it would be unclear how to repay him later. It was not a good situation."We came back to our hometown without telling Nash. I'll thank him later," Nina said. "Why does he still want to help you?" Julia did not quite understand. "If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you married the r
Lily hesitated for a long time. For her, ensuring that Xander could rest in peace underground was the right thing to do. She could not let him die in vain. "Nina, we've paid a heavy price for Xander's affair, and we've also suffered." These days, Lily seemed to have aged suddenly, with a few white hairs on her head. "I apologize for the harsh words I said to you during the funeral. I wasn't being rational. Now, as long as we can find the person who killed Xander, I'm willing to do anything.""Lily." Nina called out. "Those things are in the past, and I will not hold them against you. We still have to live our lives. We need to look forward and not dwell on the past. I'll find a solution for Sue's internship. Even though she can't work at the York Corporation, I won't let her suffer."This was the best outcome for them. Nina had better connections than them, so they would not lose out."Thank you, Nina." Lily smiled with relief.Sue also chimed in, "Nina, thank you."Returning to
The lady boss of the nightclub called.They had not been in touch for a long time, and Linda wanted to share the good news with her.After answering the phone, she happily said, "Hey, Boss, I'm doing great now. The child is healthy, we're living in a big house, and we have people taking care of us. Especially the child's dad's mother really likes me. I'm sure I'll be better and better in the future."But the lady boss sounded anxious on the other end: "Linda, I called to tell you that something has happened. The police came asking about you. Did you do something wrong?"Hearing this, Linda's face changed drastically: "The police are really looking for me?""Yes, they're asking about you. I don't know what's going on..."Before the conversation could finish, Linda hung up the phone.Everyone knew she lived at the York residence. The police would soon come here.She could not let them catch her, so she had to leave. She rushed out in a hurry, unable to say where she was going, an
The inherent aura of a young lady from a well-to-do family. Such nobility was unattainable by others. She envied them, those born as winners. Even though she had a pretty face, she could only work as a hostess in a nightclub. Looking at herself in the mirror, Miranda's lips curved slightly as she asked, neither cold nor indifferent, "What are you here for?""Save me, the police are after me," Linda said, still filled with fear. Terrified at the sound of police sirens, she knew only Miranda could save her."Ruby, step out first. I need to talk to her alone," Miranda instructed her assistant."Okay," the assistant replied and left the room. Now, it was just the two of them and a pile of dress samples. There was also a balcony nearby. Linda sat on a chair by the balcony, with a coffee table beside her, holding a cup of warm tea to warm her hands, speaking anxiously, "I have nowhere to turn now. The police will definitely catch me. I don't want to go to jail. I don't want..."Miran
Linda saw her gaze, completely different from the warmth when they first met. Her face changed drastically. "You're using me!"You deliberately said those things to me, deliberately made me do it, and then you washed your hands of it. The wicked one is you," Linda accused. Miranda deliberately befriended her, bought baby clothes for her, and then said those things to her to make her eliminate her troubles. Miranda wasn't really kind to her. She was pushing her into the abyss. If she got rid of Nina, and she went to jail, Miranda would be worry-free."You're such a good actress!" Linda exclaimed in agitation. "You pretended to like me so much, pretended to be good to me, pretended to be kind, pretended to be generous."Miranda calmly sipped her tea, these words of accusation were just praise to her. "Now you still want to harm my child," Linda said, clutching her stomach, shaking her head. "You can't tolerate my child with Nash. You're such a wicked woman!"She looked around. "N
