CHAPTER 179
CEO
She refused to release Nina, holding onto her tightly. Her intention to harm Nina was evident.
âI always knew you were a bringer of bad luck. We would have been fine without you. Zion would have supported me, and our family could have lived happily. Itâs because of your interference that Zion abandoned us. Youâre a heartless witch. I will kill you!â
Ninaâs hair was disheveled by Lilyâs grip. Instinctively, Nina tried to evade her and push her away. Lilyâs slightly long nails scratched Ninaâs cheek, leaving a few marks. âMadam, this is a police station. Your actions could result in your arrest!â
Consumed by rage, Lily lost control of her senses, saying, âArrest me if you want. As long as I can kill her, even if it means death for me! Even in death, I will drag her to hell!â
Lily thrashed about, but the police had no option but to restrain her, forcing her to the ground. Despite being restrained, she glared at Nina with intense anger.
Sue, pale-faced, shed tears and pleaded, âMom, please stop this. If you get arrested, what will become of me?â
She knelt before Nina, desperately begging, âNina, both my mom and I are at fault. Please forgive us. I promise we wonât trouble you again.â
Nina touched her face and felt a burning sensation. She must have been injured. However, strangely, she no longer seemed to feel the pain.
She glanced at Sue, her eyes communicating a multitude of emotions. She had no intention of compromising.
Lily was taken away by the police, muttering under her breath, âMay you have a wretched end, Nina!â
Sue chased after them, tears streaming down her face, but Lily was led away in handcuffs.
Miranda returned to the York residence. Sally, anticipating her arrival, greeted her with delight, her voice filled with warmth. âMiranda, youâre back. Itâs been such a long time, and you look thinner.â
âPerhaps you havenât been eating well. Perfect timing, Iâll whip up something delicious for you.â Sally hurriedly assisted Miranda with her luggage.
âSally,â Miranda said, âAs an artist, looking slimmer appears better on camera. Itâs necessary for my work. But donât worry, Iâm healthy.â
Sally still felt anxious. âBeing an
velet
artist is no easy feat. Why pursue that path? Youâd be better off coming home. Once you marry Nash, you can stay with me.â
âThatâs not possible. I still need a job.â
During their conversation, Miranda suddenly recalled something and inquired, âSally, is that young girl you mentioned still residing here?â Sally replied, âYes, sheâs still staying here.â
She further clarified, âDonât worry, this girl is not a threat to you. I have the utmost respect for you. I want you to be my daughter-in-law. This girl is pregnant with Nashâs child Once the baby is born, we will give the baby to you. As for this girl, we can simply spend some money to send her away.â
Miranda was surprised upon hearing this news. Nash had fathered a child with another woman. This indirectly indicated that he wasnât as concerned about Nina either. The fact that this girl had successfully driven Nina away wasnât entirely useless to her.
âSally, I know youâve always been so good to me,â Miranda said, sweetly holding her hand. âLetâs go home.â
They walked in together.
Linda, hearing their conversation and laughter, couldnât help but feel puzzled. Until she caught sight of Mirandaâs figure. It was her.
At the living room.
Linda was the first to speak, saying, âItâs you.â
Miranda looked at Linda and felt a sense of familiarity.
Sally asked, âHave you two met before?â
Linda responded, âWe met at the hospital. I accidentally bumped into this lady. I didnât realize she knew you, Sally.â
Miranda remembered and smiled, saying, âOh, now I remember. Itâs you.â
Recalling the incident at the hospital, Linda had a positive impression of Miranda, saying, âShe was very nice, she didnât blame me.â
