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
Even in death, these obsessions lingered. She thought she could rise to power through the child. With a child, she would have security. Motherhood would ensure her status. But it was all just a fleeting dream.After saying these words, Linda stopped breathing, her eyes wide open, refusing to close. She died with her eyes open. When the police came down again, Linda was already dead. They cordoned off the area. Miranda was escorted down by the police. Her hair was disheveled, her face pale, covered in blood. Tears were still swirling in her eyes and she looked terrified with her hands trembling uncontrollably. The police tried to comfort her, telling her not to be afraid.Tears slowly streamed down Miranda's face with her expression filled with fear. As her assistant arrived, she hugged her and cried bitterly.When Nina, who had heard the news, rushed over, she was shocked to find it already over. All she saw was a corpse. In that moment, she was stunned. How could Linda have died
The culprit who killed Xander was gone. There was no need to investigate further or gather evidence. It all came to an end."Miss Lewis, your statement has been recorded. Please go and attend to your injuries," the police advised.The assistant chimed in, "Miranda, you're just too kind. You're injured, yet you insist on coming to the police station before going to the hospital."Miranda's eyes were red, her face worn out. "Let's not talk about it anymore. It's taken care of. Let's go to the hospital now."The assistant helped Miranda walk, who was very weak but still pushing through.They coincidentally ran into Nina.Miranda glanced at Nina and remarked, "What a coincidence, bumping into you at the police station."Nina carefully observed Miranda's injured palm and bloodied clothes. "Coincidences are rare, aren't they? Someone fell to their death, and it was from your place."Miranda paused for a moment, feigning ignorance. "You mean that girl?"She stood calmly and continued
"Quincy, hurry and take her to the hospital!" "Yes, Mr. York." Upon receiving the order, Quincy immediately complied.Miranda looked at Nash. "Aren't you coming with me?""I still have some things to take care of here. I'll come see you after I'm done," Nash replied.Knowing he would still come to see her, Miranda felt relieved. "Alright, I'll wait for you. I'll go to the hospital first."With that said, she glanced at Nina once more.Nina remained silent. Nash had always been attentive to Miranda, and now that she was seriously injured, wouldn’t he be extremely worried?There was nothing she could do but watch, feeling helpless."Are you alright?" Nash suddenly turned to Nina.Nina casually replied, her hands tucked in her pockets, "When I arrived, Linda was already dead. The police told me that if there were no other suspects, Xander's death would be closed.""Are you sure it was Linda?"Nina nodded. "Yes, it's confirmed. She's dead, and there's nothing left."Resentment
"I have some matters to deal with at the company. Once you've sorted out your uncle's affairs, it's best not to delay work," his words left no room for debate. She had another identity, that of Nash's secretary. Despite being separated from life, work had to be done well. For Nina, her time at work would not last much longer. Today seemed to be her last day. Yet, she still had to fulfill her month's work as no one would be exempt from financial penalties. If she did not show up for work, her pay would still be deducted. A few days spent in her hometown had already consumed her vacation days. When she eventually resigned from the York Corporation, it would mark a new beginning. She needed to plan her future path carefully. After much hesitation, Nina finally agreed. "Alright, Mr. York." Satisfied with her answer, Nash shifted his gaze forward and Nina followed behind him. As usual, they maintained their professional relationship, leaving behind their roles as husband and w
